Game 1 Review

That game was painful to watch. The Knicks looked awful, the refs time and time again were sucking the Heat's cock, and my boy Shumpert went down. If one thing is clear, I really hate LeBron James. He is the biggest pussy in the NBA. He was flopping left and right and the refs ate it up. This game was a complete disaster. The Knicks will be lucky to win one game.

Carmelo was completely off his game tonight, as was the rest of the Knicks. It is clear that the Knicks best player is Carmelo. When Carmelo plays, the Knicks play well. If Melo can play better on Monday the Knicks really can make a statement in this series. If Melo ups his production and forgets about the shitty performance that happened yesterday. The Knicks absolutely need Melo is they want to win this series. The Shumpert injury is going to be costly for the Knicks. He provides great defense and some offense for the Knicks. His injury is an ACL injury and is reported to keep him out for at least 6 months. Yikes.

Lebron James is the biggest pussy ever. It was clear that he flopped. The foul they called on JR Smith was pure bull shit. I think that Joonyah barely touched him and LeBron clearly fell like Joonyah elbowed him like Metta World Peace. And for the refs, who were already giving the Heat every call, to basically give him the Oscar for best actor after that play is bullshit. And now comes the flagrant foul called on Tyson. The play was clearly a foul, but a flagrant? Fuck no!!!! LeBron looked like Tyson put a knife in his back and starting twisting it. The whiplash this pussy was complaining about was his award winning reaction. That was he reaction. The (wo)man basically hurt himself on that play. LeBron better watch out. The Knicks are going to be out to get him on Monday. While the reffing probably did not make a difference in who won that game, it was probably the most atrocious reffing I have ever seen in a game. The NBA should look into this, it was to the point where it was an unacceptable job, especially in a playoff game.



That's all for now.

Sound like fun! So I will talk to you guys when my life is way better than it is now.

Enjoy Wu-Tang Wednesday!

A Letter of Apology

As many of you may know, April is an extremely busy month for college students (especially southern schools like SDF and myself). Having the luxury of going to a southern school means two things; start early, end early. The month of April for students in southern schools consists of endless hours in the library, reading countless pages in textbooks, taking a lot of adderall, and drinking lots of redbull. Unfortunately, Pump Action has most of May until he ends. Therefore, we have made the executive business decision to shut down BHMS until May 2nd. This is a decision the staff is not happy with, but we must do. When going to college, the first and most important goal is getting an education. That is the main priority. Then having a good time or course. Finals week is going to be hell, so a lot of studying and hours in the library is in order. From all of the members of the BHMS staff, we sincerely apologize and we hope to get back to you guys as soon as possible. For now, lets go Rangers, Knicks and Mets! The countdown to summer begins.

See you guys soon, hopefully.

Iman Shumpert vs. Jeremy Lin

With Jeremy Lin likely out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Iman Shumpert has been put back into the starting line up as a shooting guard. So far, Shump has been very impressive. Shumpert has been a force on defense all year providing quality perimeter defense. His size, speed, and athletic ability are a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. On offense he has amazing range, being able to spread the ball to the arch and being able to drive to the hoop and dunk over people at times. Shump is not the best distributor in the world, but his playing style seems to work in Woodson's system pretty well. I feel Shumpert can really develop in to a solid guard in the NBA. Assuming he is only going to improve, he has his whole NBA career ahead of him. However at times, Iman can be shoot the ball a shit load even if he doesn't have the best look. But this has steadily improved over the course of the year. With solid performances as of late, I really believe this guy can be the real deal. If he works on some areas of his game, such as decision making, Iman can become one of the better guards in the NBA. I am very excited to see what comes from his development. He is bursting with potential and the Knicks should try to hold on to him for a long time, or they might seriously regret letting him loose.

There really shouldn't be any doubt that Jeremy Lin is a solid guard. He has a solid shot, can play the pick and roll like a mother fucking boss, and can really distribute the ball. He is also a quick mother fucker. Sports Science compared his quickness to the likes of John Wall and Derrick Rose. That is really fucking impressive. Does he turn over the ball a lot? Yes. But that is something that can be fixed once he gets back from injury. When Linsanity emerged out of the realms of the Knicks bench, everybody blew it to be more than it was. The media made Lin to be more of a superstar than he actually is. Lin is definitely a worthy starter and a very solid PG. He consistantally produces in some way, whether it is points, assists, or steals. He is not the best at defense, though. He at times gets easily burned. Sadly, I believe Jeremy Lin does not have nearly the potential that Shumpert has. Lin is a great player, but Shumpert has future written all over him. I'd like to keep both these guys on the Knicks. As I see it, we should start Lin and PG due to his ability to distribute the ball and Shumpert at shooting guard for his offensive potential. However I would put Shumpert to play defense on Shumpert on the better guard and let Lin play the worse guy.


Peace out

Bryce Harper: The Future of Baseball

While you were in high school trying to figure out who you were going to take to senior prom, Bryce Harper was smacking home runs left and right and setting the baseball world in a frenzy. When Harper was a 15 year old freshman, he hit a 570 foot homer that traveled over the right field fence, two trees, and five lanes of Las Vegas traffic. A 570 foot homer is unheard of in the major leagues, let alone in a high school playoff game. The longest home run hit in the majors last season was a 486 ft bomb by Prince Fielder against the Astros. Prince Fielder has little less than 10 years on Harper and Mr. Harper still hit a longer home run than anyone in the majors last season at 15 years old. This is unheard of. He was the cover boy of Sports Illustrated magazine at 16, first overall pick to the Nationals in the MLB Draft at 17, and more than likely making his debut in the majors at 19. Not only is Bryce Harper the future of baseball (or the Lebron James of baseball as some call him), but he is soon to be an American icon. He's one of the most talked about players in baseball and hasn't even made his debut yet.

One thing I love about Bryce Harper is that he's pretty good, but not afraid to admit it. One thing PadreBama loves about his favorite professional athletes is cockiness. Jordan had it, Ali had it, Tiger has it, Kobe has it, Aaron Rodgers has it, and so does Bryce Harper. He's better than anyone he has ever played against and isn't shy about it. Not to mention his cheesy mustache. He also pulled the ultimate "I'm better than you" move by smacking a home run in a minor league game then blowing a kiss to the pitcher. A move that an under the drinking age baseball player shouldn't pull, but he did it anyway. Harper has earned my respect.

Don't know if I said this before, but he's pretty good. His list of accomplishments by the age of 19 is already more impressive than most people by the time they're 50. At 17 years old, he won the Golden Spikes award, which is an award given to the best amateur baseball player. This award is usually given to juniors or seniors in college, but Harper was impressive enough to win it at 17. He left high school early to accelerate his readiness for the majors and by playing better competition, because he was too good for high school ball. He went on to play in a junior college wooden bat league and hit 31 homers. In this interview by ESPN, he has gone on record by saying he wants to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer and the best player to ever live. The unbelievable thing is it could come true.

The hype Bryce Harper receives turns into major press coverage and headlines. The game of baseball needs another guy that will generate headlines wherever he goes, sort of like what Stephen Strasburg did last year. Harper will certainly be that guy when he gets moved to the majors. The media can't get enough of the guy. The comparisons to Lebron James seems to be outlandish, but fair. The way Lebron grabbed headlines as a high schooler and now in the NBA is the same way Harper will have it. Watch and see. He also loves the game more than anyone in the world. You won't find many young, cocky, and gifted athletes that have the desire and passion for the game as does Harper. He quotes that his favorite player growing up was Mickey Mantle. He know's what he wants to be when his career is done and thats impressive for a 19 year old.

We may have to wait a little bit for Harper to make his major league debut for the Nationals this year, but when he does, it will be nothing short of incredible. He was recently just sent to Triple A ball for the start of the major league season to be groomed into the future center fielder for the Nationals. Bryce Harper: baseball prodigy, American icon.
