Oh, well, that’s kinda cool. Welcome to the Boston Celtics JR Giddens

Today’s entry is a little more, how do we say, high concept? It comes from Sevag, who explains the picture as, “Perk takes defender’s head out of the game and through the basket.” And does he ever.

Keep em’ coming.

We forgive you if you haven’t been following the draft. However, we have, and as always, there’s an excitement in the air of the Beast Lair and that’s not just because Beef found this Snoop Dogg video.

Anyway, here is your draft day primer, beast lair style.


The top five should work out like this.


1. Chicago takes Derrick Rose, a good safe pick for Chicago. It gives a team of roll players a star, allows them to attempt to run more and gives them some wiggle room to move any of the two: Heinrich, Hughes, Duhon, or Gordon. They could probably use a Beasley to give their low post an actual threat but it makes more sense for this team to work with it’s strength, which is long and athletic. Take Rose and run, run, run.


2. Miami takes OJ Mayo because Pat Riley is too much of a control freak to take a run at Beasley. Does it matter? I don’t think so. To me, Beasley and Mayo have the same base of talent and can both be stars in this league.


3. Minnesota takes Michael Beasley because they would have the nastiest, albeit small, young front court in the league. I think Beasley and Jefferson are very similar, which could be worrisome, but then again when are the T-pups going to get a chance at a talent like this. I hope for McHale’s sake he gets this one right. Big Al is a big time talent but he needs help.

4. Seattle takes Brook Lopez because they have 21 feet of injured players on the roster and not one of them can ball. Hey, what’s one more stiff right? I’ve never liked this kid’s game, never. However, I don’t like the fact that some crusty old oil man is stealing a team from one of the best cities in the world. Eff you Sonics.

5. Memphis takes Jerryd Bayless because I haven’t thought this through that far. However, since it’s Chris Wallace, he could always take the kid from Turkey with this pick and trade it for the Russian guy Dallas blew a lottery pick on a couple years ago.

6. The Knicks take Russell Westbrook because New York desperately needs a point guard and because Izaha isn’t there to jinx the franchise anymore.

7. The Clippers take Kevin Love because they need a point guard.

8. The Bucks take Joe Alexander because he’s a bad ass and they will LOVE him in Milwaukee. Let’s hear it for the kid from Rhode Island. I hope he pans out. I really do.

9. Charlotte takes Eric Gordon because I haven’t done enough research.

10. The Nets take the Italian kid

Okay, that was hard. Now lets move on to the 30th pick. I have been thinking long and hard about this pick. We heard yesterday that PJ is considering retiring
and Pollard will be a free agent, so that leaves a hole at backup center. However, has there ever been a good center picked at 30? Therefore, I say let’s go for a shooting guard to back up Ray Allen and have insurance for Tony, should he sign somewhere else. It was obvious that we need more help at this spot.


Dare we dream?

That being said. We love Chris Douglas-Roberts here. Love him. We love Courtney Lee and we love Billy Walker. Any of these would make our night. We also like DJ White, the bruiser from Indiana. Either way, we trust Danny Ainge implicitly.

Today’s dope photo shop comes from Andrew in the wild lands of Maryland ( I think).

He’s bucking for a free shirt.

Remember folks the best photo shop featuring Perk wins a coveted Perk is a beast t-shirt. The contest ends July 14 so keep working on it.
