Three Guys in a Basement

tgiab.com took a sizable chunk out of their petty cash funds to give you, the fan, the best sports coverage possible.

tgiab.com made the decision, along with its strategic partner The Subway Alumni Show, to send its Portland and Chicago natives, JoePa and Dogolfer, along with tSAS’s Sprout, to the Indy 500.  It is a new Memorial Day weekend necessity.  It really is that good.

tgiab.com then made the decision to send its New York native, rsand,back to his home state of Colorado to cover the Lakers/Nuggets series.  With rsand back in his home state, the Nuggets won a huge game last evening to even out the series at two.

The fourth tgiab.com native from South Bend, ndgravy, attended his sister’s high school graduation in Rantoul, IL.  More on that in a  later article.

Now onto the sports coverage….

The Indy 500 is truly a spectacle.  It is hard to describe it with any other word.  Things I saw at the Indy included: a confederate flag bikini, a transformer, a wreck right at turn 3 (where tgiab.com strategically placed itself for the best coverage), Helio winning the race, a dunkaroo, another dunkaroo, whiffle ball on a golf course, a face plant, an awesome t-shirt purchase (as pictured above and below), an awesome collection of famous sports jerseys, and, as always, a sweet partnership with The Subway Alumni Show.  A pictorial representation of the Indy 500 (in the order above) is displayed here:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, that looks like a decent time.

Unless you come next year, you’ll have to take our word for it on how awesome of a time it truly is. 

Oh yeah, Helio won the race.  Sprout won $180.  All of that was spent at the bar, while chanting “You Suck, You Suck, You Suck” and pointing at Anthony Gonzales.  If any of that does not sound awesome, it is due to my poor journalistic skills, and not because of the race.  Everyone, please come to Chicago next year for the tgiab.com and The Subway Alumni Show sponsored Indy 500.  You will have a great time.  Guaranteed.

Onto Petty Cash usage #2 of the weekend.  The NBA Western Conference Finals.  Magic Johnson is on record saying that any of the four teams remaining can definitely win the title.  Will it be the Kobe-led Lakers?  The Bron-Bron-led Cavs?  The D-Howard-led Magic?  Or rsand’s hometown favorite Nuggs?  rsand went to Denver to investigate this very question.

On Saturday, the Nuggets disappointed.  It was their first home game in the Conference Finals in 24 years.  They lost a heartbreaker, 103-97.  The Nuggets will look for a new inbounder rather than Anthony Carter, as his inbounding skills have cost the Nuggets a couple chance at the end of the game.

Kobe Bryant claimed it was the most tired he had ever been in his life.  He took a full back of IV fluid after the game, and then promptly fell asleep for 10 hours.

Game 4 was a must win for the Nuggs.  Despite Carmelo putting up his worst performance of the post-season, the Nuggets took game 4 and evened the Series at 2.  Not even Anthony Carter’s inbounding could cost the Nuggs this game.  The Nuggs used their home-court advantage to take it to the Lakers.  And how about Birdman.  Awesome.  He came back from his suspension for mind-altering drugs (see meth, cocaine, LSD, heroin, mushrooms, acid, etc.) , and seems to be staying on the up and up.  Good for him.  His Gel-Hawk (as seen in the picture), is awesome, and the guy might bring the most energy to the court of anyone in the NBA.  Game 4 highlights below:

That’s it for now from tgiab.com.  Petty Cash reserves are low, but they will be used strategically in the near future to provide our readers the best coverage available.
