Here we go …
Join The Jones on a sonic journey as we welcome SI’s Zach Lowe to discuss the 2010-11 NBA Playoffs, including who’s ripe for a first-round upset, why the Grizzlies are going to regret “tanking” the end of the regular season, whether Skeets is clinically insane for picking the Hawks over the Magic, and much more.
Also, later in the show, Taco Trey Kerby joins us — from Miami, trick! — to take us through some of the week’s quirkier NBA stories, including Steve Blake’s chickenpox, Glen Rice’s fascinating handball and legal problems, and Michael Jordan’s zinger thoughts on “comedian” Charlie Sheen.
All that, plus one weird question and answer about Tas’ goddamn recorder.
So give your eyes a rest, and embrace this audio explosion.
Predict winning playoff teams along with The Basketball Jones for you chance at $10,000 in cash and prizes. In fact, beat Skeets and Tas, and you could one of 15 FujiFilm Digital cameras. Good luck!

Jesus Christ. I have no words.
I would play that game in a second. That’s pretty much what European-style team handball was like at Plano High School, only without the top holes or any sort of soccer element. It was great.
That is fucking awsome!
Hey Tas, nice Russell Peters impersonation :) Do I get that you don’t really like the dude? He is my closeset thing to learning about Canada… As much as he talks about Canada tho.. never mind
The “fucking awsome” remark was about the weird sport guhzelle posted.
On second thought, the remark could easily be abou the ending of the show… omg
I have a handball guy in my semi-regular basketball pick-up game. He’s really good at cutting without the ball and seeing angles. But because handball has different rules and travelling on your first step, he does do that a lot.
I played a lot of handball in highschool, when not getting stoned in the bleachers. Reaction time was somewhat compromosed but it was a different era anyway. For anyone bored and looking to scroll links, I wrote half of the following post-nap and the rest while in the thoes of late-night insomnia. http://tinyurl.com/3sjw53o
What is the name of the song playing on the last brake ?
I think the Magic are getting talked about more as potential upset candidates than at any time since the trade…
Also, Zach Lowe! *giddy*
Kronum looks like a wimp’s version of Australian Rules football.
Ya what’s the name of that reggae hustla song?
what’s the intro music? Sounds like some indie band…?
recorder = English flute

Hey Melas-
Can you play this beast: http://themusickcabinet.co.uk/documents/serpent1.jpg
Cuz that fucking thing rules.
Is there some kind of reference page where we can find the artist/titles of the songs that are used?
Hey Melas, way to show no class in spoiling the movie safe house. Charlie V may have ruined if for you but no one follows his tweets. You spoiled it on National TV. I hope Denzel kicks your immature assand knocks that stupid beard off your face. If someone loser annouces a spolier alert to me, it doesn’t mean i have spoil it for everyone else. Try and justify your actions now. You can’t can you. Oh notice how i didn’t spoil the movie for anyone else this post.
