Bawful After Dark: April 7, 2010

Word.
Ah, Wednesday. Or, as somebody actually said to me earlier today, "Hump Day." Who honestly refers to Wednesday as Hump Day? (And what if you're single? What day is it then? Jackoff Day?) But in any event, there is, as always, bad basketball to cover. Case in point: Dan Gadzuric needs velcro sneakers.

Worst of the Night in Pictures:

Forgive the Bricks for being awkward at celebrations. They aren't used to it.

"I wonder what the record for most NBA coaching losses is..."

Damn LeBron, you don't have to sell it that much. They're going to give you the superstar call, don't worry!

Attempting to walk on the ball like you're log rolling isn't very smart

Hey benchwarmers! How are you supposed to keep the bench warm if you won't sit your asses down?
Nationally Televised Games:
Jazz at Rockets: Playing one of the highest scoring games in ages in an overtime game last night, and now playing a road game the next day? The Rockets are fairly mediocre to not good, but still... Could be a long night for the Jazz.

Spurs at Suns: I am giddy about this game. I like both teams, I have a man crush on Steve Nash that is only slightly smaller than Basketbawful's, and I'm interested in seeing if the "surging" curse continues to strike such-annointed teams. Awesome game.

All The Other Games:
Bricks at Pacers: The Pacers are trying to win for the 10th time in 11 games. And yet their season record is 29-48 to this point. It's amazing how weird the end of the regular season can be when some teams care and other teams don't, eh?

Wizards Generals Bullets at Magic: The Magic are the only team so far this season to get a victory against every team in the league. However, they lost their first two games against the Bullets, and rallied back from a 15 point deficit to win in March. What the hell? The team is called the Magic. Can't they use magic to stop bullets, or at least slow time down so they can do kickass Matrix-style moves to avoid them? Or am I overthinking this?

Celtics at Craptors: Think the Craptors commentators are still rolling those dice? In the meantime, please make sure you read Bill Simmons' beautiful takedown of Rasheed Wallace.

Hawks at Pistons: The Hawks struggled to a close win against Detroit last weekend. Now they have to play without Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby's poor itty bitty wittle injured toe? Oh no! (Seriously though, ingrown toenails suck a lot)

76ers at Heat: Remember what I said the other day about the normally bipolar Miami Heat having a favorable end-of-season schedule? Their eight consecutive wins are doing a lot to validate that statement.

Bobcats at Hornets: Charlotte has never won a game in New Orleans. Ever. They lose by an average of 15 points every time they play the Hornets in New Orleans. Damn. Just... damn.

Nyets at Bucks: Look out, Milwaukee! The Nyets are surging!! They're ONLY on a one-game losing streak!

Warriors at Timberwolves: Okay, seriously, if Nellie doesn't get his record victory here, can we take one of his other wins away as punishment?

Nuggets at Thunder: Denver's well rested and OKC just played a high scoring overtime game last night. Do I need to say it?

Grizzlies at Mavericks: Will the Mavericks make up their mind if they're good or just kinda sucky? I'm getting tired of them being all wishy-washy about it.

Frail Blazers at Clippers: I so hope we see an epic Marcus Camby revenge game.
