Urlesque has invited us to release our own Kraken:

the 3D remake of Clash of the Titans may have cost $70 million to make, but the only memorable part of the newest trailer is [Liam Neeson as] Zeus booming out “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!”

So here are our NBA Krakens:

Have you got an NBA “Release the Kraken” to add? Hit us up with it in the comments.

Deron Williams Is A Chicken. Deron is caught, by the ever watching TV camera, doin some funky little chicken dance. It is a lot better than picking your nose on national TV and flickin at your bud. ( That video is the 2nd on this post. Steve Francis would like to have that one back. )

Playoff Predictions: Back to the ’80s Edition

Editor’s Note: Today jamjam365 brings you the Stacheketball NBA Playoff Predictions for 2010. Those at the top of the heap are easy to predict, rather, we’re looking at the contentious positions here: the final four seats at the table. We present to you the last four teams who will make the Western Conference playoffs and the four who will miss out — accompanied by a fine dose of themed ’80s music!

Best in the West : Last Four In

Utah Jazz – “All that Jazz” (not Bob Fosse Edition)

Did not improve at trade deadline.  Loss of Maynor and Brewer affects the depth, they will fall behind the Suns.  Best case scenario; veteran coaching plus Williams’ skill makes them a late bloomer.

Oklahoma City Thunder – “Movin on Up” (Retro Remake Mix)

Keep their hold on sixth spot and will be a tough matchup. Durant will probably finish third in the MVP race, and by all rights (and stats alone) he should really be a strong second instead of distant third. Worst case scenario: a case of youth jitters takes them down the board and they face a matchup with LALakers.

San Antonio Spurs – “So Tough to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” (Boyz2Men Still Picture Edit)

Parker, oft-injured; Ginobli, usually-injured; and Duncan, awesome, but still old, old.  Bring back the old days, they wish…..

Portland Trailblazers – Portland, Orgeon and Slow Gin Fizz (Loretta Lynn – Jack White duet)

A couple of shots of something strong, and maybe the Blazers will think they belong….. (Before all the hate mail of Blazers fans having their tizzies, they could have fallen out of the playoffs just like the Grizzlies). OK, OK, so the video is  not from the 80s… you try finding a video about Portland AND going into a slow tailspin.  On the plus side, though, Portland’s rebounding has really looked up lately.  Their depth and matchup problems could trouble Denver if they could move into the #7 seed.

Pistol Pete died way too young, but he did grace our presence long enough to dazzle us with his play and stache. Below is a pic of his playing days, and below it is a video of him giving some pointers. The stache got better with age.

Each day we describe the days stache in one word.
