Derek Fisher keeps his wife in check: "get under that rope!" (Image courtesy: Wally Skalij / L.A. Times)
I told you so. You don’t remember? From my season preview of the Los Angeles Lakers that Paints in the Point did before the beginning of the season:
This past season, the Lakers won its fifteenth NBA title, defeating the Orlando Magic in five games. Will the Lakers successfully defend their championship this season? Many experts seem to think so, and I’m inclined to agree. The Lakers have only gotten better, and will advance to the Finals, unless something terrible happens, like a meteor colliding with the Staples Center or something like that.
A meteor didn’t collide with the Staples Center this year (though it might have caused less damage than the riots that ensued in Los Angeles after the Lakers won — read on), and subsequently, the Lakers won another title, their sixteenth.
I reiterated my thoughts that the Lakers would win the NBA Finals in Paints in the Point’s “Season Preview” of the Final Standings, not only picking the Lakers to win, but the only Paints Dude to also to have their opponent correct, the Boston Celtics. (Sidebar: A future post will summarize the predictions we made at the beginning of the season, as well as declare one Paints Dude the best for this season.)
This is not to say that I enjoy the Lakers winning the title. I don’t. I hate the Lakers (as does any person who is remotely sane). Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Readers of Paints in the Point,
Ever since I made my apology on April 2, many of you have been wondering when I would return from my hiatus. Therefore, I have decided to return to blogging during the first round of The Masters Tournament, which is this Thursday, April 8.
I have undergone almost two days of inpatient therapy, and I am continuing my treatment. Although I’m returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.

Dear Readers of Paints in the Point,
Good morning. And thank you for joining me.
Many of you on this site are my friends. Many of you on this site know me. Many of you have cheered for me, or worked with me, or supported me, and now, every one of you has good reason to be critical of me.

Dear Readers of Paints in the Point,
Admittedly, the new site format was rolled out a bit too soon. The color scheme was met with discontent from The Champ, so we’ve decided to ramp back our conversion process for a little while as we resolve the in-fighting amongst the Paints Dudes (though this moniker we’ve given ourselves will eventually change).

Dear Readers of Paints in the Point,
We admit, we love basketball.
However, we’ve found that “Paints in the Point” has not been meeting our expectations for traffic in the slightly over nine months we’ve been live. Therefore, we’re announcing a shift in focus in content found at this website. We are pleased to announce… Read the rest of this entry »

In a very special All-Star edition of the Paints in the Podcast, The Champ, The Custodian, and The Franchise discuss why they like All-Star Weekend, watching basketball games in front of too many people, Team USA in upcoming years, The Custodian’s “Little Things All-Stars,” the Paints Dudes’ midseason awards, durability of NBA players, who will win the various competitions of All-Star Weekend, and then The Franchise plays “Figure It Out,” a new segment where someone attempts to guess a word surreptitiously dropped into the conversation by the other Paints Dudes. Further discussion topics include who will win laser tag, which All-Star best represents each Paints Dude, and ranking the East and West’s playoff seeds. The Freelancer guest stars in Wildcard Time, where the Paints Dudes discuss Super Bowl commercials, how The Champ should improve his game, and why there aren’t any references to ****** ***** left in the final cut of the podcast. Champ’s Story Time tells the tale of the one time Champ raised his hand in class. A double dose of bonus material follows the conclusion of the podcast.
