No Regard Recaps: Welcome to the Life, Anthony Davis

One Game We Watched This Weekend:  USA vs. France

In his debutant Olympic appearance, Davis wowed, wetting 50 percent of his shots from the field (1-2). His three points helped secure a victory for the Red, White and Blue, in a game that France never had any chance of winning whatsoever. 

Former Laker, Warrior, Knick, Wizard, Heat—and current Clipper—Ronny Turiaf dazzled London with his sick nine rebounds. He also started for a French team that boasted Pietrus Jr., a goggle-wearing Tony Parker and some other pretty cool guys. 

However, it would be Davis who would have the last laugh for the Stars and Stripes. AD gobbled three rebounds and was a critical piece during his eight minutes of spectacular work. Without his effort, America still would have definitely won by a considerable margin. 

We know this about Coach K's next opponent: They are definitely a country that will put five guys out there.

One Game We Didn't Watch: Spain vs. China

As a live viewer of the first half, I got to hear a brief analysis of each team in the tournament by Doug Collins. When it was time to talk about China, he paused a bit and stammered, "Well, China, they aren't good," and then quickly moved onto the next team. Solid stuff from DC.

One Game We Will Definitely Watch Tonight: Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

After one disappointing and three amazing games, the Miami Heat host the Boston Celtics tonight in what has the potential to be a historic battle. An historic, even, if that's how you choose to speak. Then again, as my partner-in-crime, Andrew Abides, noted last night during a conversation we had over the Internet, it could potentially fall flat.

“I have no idea what to expect out of this series anymore,” he typed. Mr. Abides’ astute observation is well-noted. So far, this series has given us just about everything. And with a guaranteed two, potentially three more games, just about anything could happen.

Monday Morning Dance Therapy: Ronnnnny Edition

Monday mornings are tough. As the work week starts, we often need something to pick us up and remind us that things are going to be okay. That something is NBA players and other hoops figures dancing. This weekly column celebrates one of the finest things in life and gives you the kickstart you need to get the week started on the right foot.

This one goes out to the wastey-faced dudes sitting behind Andrew Abides and me at the Knicks game last week. They thought it was really funny to yell "Ronnnnnny" every five seconds. Guys, we get it, Ronny Turiaf is easy to make fun of. But he is also very good at dancing, so shut up.
