It occurred during game three of their first-round series with Atlanta. Kurt Streeter of the LA Times threw down his take yesterday.

The toughest post to post.
— fearthebeard.org — There was the “weird science” from Nellie. There was the mysterious absence of bearditude down the stretch.... There was Phoenix coach Mike D’Antoni’s steadfast refusal to show any quarter, riding Nasty Nash and the starters for extended minutes. And in the end, there was the eighth defeat in nine tries for the Dubs in the Valley of the Sun. (more) The toughest post to post.

Bob Delaney is still shady.
— fearthebeard.org — Some of you surely knew this, but for those who don't, the call made against Monta Ellis... in overtime–for essentially being tackled by Derek Fisher–was made by Bob Delaney. Now, I'm not saying Bob Delaney has mob ties just because he once successfully infiltrated the mob. But I am saying that "Bobby Covert," as he was known back in the 1970s has been known to successfully play both sides of the ... (more) Bob Delaney is still shady.

Tell Boom Dizzle what to do with The Beard.
— fearthebeard.org — Earlier this season Baron Davis gave FTB permission to suggest some possibilities to him for his vaunted... beard over on Yardbarker. We like a good challenge, but we wanted to open up the discussion a bit and let the Dubtown constituency speak. What should Baron do with The Beard? The second half and the playoffs await.

Boom Dizzle’s consigliere (Cash Warren) and consigliere's squeeze Ms. Alba before the game set me to wondering. Wasn’t Parker about to do battle with The Beard?

The ultimate swagger check: blow your enemy a kiss.
— fearthebeard.org — This may prove to be the heretofore undiscovered 49th Law of Power. Disarm your enemy with an... unexpected swagger check. I thought I had it pretty dialed with my patented, Paul Newman-style wink. It’s disarming, distinctive, and a gesture that when used selectively can confuse and disorient event the most aggro of douchebags*. But Baron may have topped it by blowing kisses...

Kiralenko beware, the Headless Beardman rides for thee!
— fearthebeard.org — There are plenty of possible explanations for what went down at the Oracle tonight, but I’ll take... an obscure one over the obvious. Let’s leave alone the Stack Jack thing for a moment, even though his points and let’s say, demeanor, were missed. I’ll also happily forget the déjà vu on the glass. Likewise, the equally familiar officiating, which favored the monotonous over the ... (more) Kiralenko beware, the Headless Beardman rides for thee!
