Bogut: Unrated Edition

Whoah, did anyone else see that coming? I thought Andrew Bogut was one of those Vegemite sandwich toting friendly Aussies, like out of a Men at Work song. Turns out he's one of those angry rugby playing, foul mouthed, bird flipping Aussie dudes who may or may not be a skin head. Bogut apparently gave the crowd an eyeful of his lewd gesturing after getting ejected with 48 seconds to go in a pwning by the Raptors. Bogut nearly sends Bosh flying. It took me a few minutes to notice the most important detail: it was a home game in Milwaukee! I used to consider Bogut a bit of a softy, but back it up, dude's a straight up gangster. Flipping off the home crowd? That's some cold blooded shit. I love it. He's like a punk rock Sheed.

See the foul here. It's pretty mean spirited and nasty. From what I can tell, the camera cuts back to the court just as Bogut's about to commit the finger faux pas:

Interesting Tidbit

Over the last 5 games Dwight Howard is remarkably shooting a higher field goal percentage than free throw percentage. Let me put that in perspective: Howard's so beastly in the post, he has an easier time putting the rock in the hole from 5-10 feet with 3 dudes in his face than he does taking his time with no defense from 15 feet. Now Shaq's career FG% is higher than his FT%, but it's not as much of a feat, when you're a career 52% shooter from the charity stripe. What makes Howard's last 5 games so special, is that his FT% (over those 5) is actually almost a full 10% higher than his season average as well, check this: 76%FG on 14 attempts, 71% FT on 8 attempts. Unfortunately his TOs are up over 5 per night during the same stretch, still you have to start liking DHowie as much or more than Bosh with these numbers and I love Bosh.
