Bawful After Dark: May 4, 2011

Some bullet points:
1) Damnit! We missed out on Andray Blatche's Lapdance Tuesday at a Miami Beach club!

2) Boston is building a Bill Russell statue. It is expected to be the Celtics' starting center in Game 3.

3) Seriously unsettling news for me: Vince Carter loves bowling, and even watches professional bowling on TV. Vince, why do you have to do things to make me even consider liking you? You know how badly I want to hate you. Can't a cool baller seriously take up bowling? A lot of them do it, but other than Vinsanity, Chris Paul is the only guy who takes it seriously. And he's not even that good at it to be honest. (Good thing he's got that whole basketball thing to fall back on, you know.)

Worst of the Night in Pictures:

(Also, this picture makes for a totally sweet album cover)

Nationally Televised Games:
Hawks at Bulls, TNT, 8pm (Hawks lead series 1-0): I encourage you to go read Kelly Dwyer's piece on the NBA's most valuable player. Then, especially since Mother's Day is coming up, go read Holly MacKenzie's piece on Derrick Rose thanking his mother.

Mavericks at Lakers, TNT, 10:30pm (Mavs lead series 1-0): I don't care if it was deadpanned. Kobe's "I'm not clutch" quote makes me smile.
