That's where being in the Southwest kills them. The three division winners all get automatic top 4 seeds, along with the next best record. So to be a top 4, they'd have to finish better than San Antonio or Dallas, and I don't see them doing that even with a healthy Gasol. I feel the same way with the Pacers. They're certainly good enough to be a top 4 team, but it's highly unlikely with the division we play in featuring five playoff-caliber teams, including Chicago and Cleveland who are probably both top 4.

We're back up to $2.12 today, after being at $1.98 on Monday.

Gasol played into it, yes. But I just wasn't a big fan of the trade they made with the Rockets. Battier is an excellent role player; a good outside shooter and good perimeter defender. You just don't trade guys like him for an unproven rookie, and one of the biggest draft busts of the decade. It wasn't a clear-cut decision by any means, though, I wavered on them and Toronto for quite a while. However, Gasol injury was the only reason I cut them out of the playoffs. He was a top-10 MVP candidate last year, IMO, and if he's healthy, they're right there. Had the league not cock-blocked them when they wanted to move to the East in the re-alignment, they could be Finals contenders.

I won't count out the possibility that he actually has that many kids.

Take it to the Socket, kids.

Didn't he also tear both of his hamstrings in one match, or something. That's probably not right, but I know hearing of one match where he suffered multiple muscle tears.

Burger King overall has better breakfast, but their biscuits are a bit dry sometimes. I've never had this problem at McD's.

Done.

No.

No duplicates outside of The Chocolate Socket, period. We're still deciding how we should deal out punishments, should this be violated. EDIT: This includes already existing ones, as well.

I've got the next three picks in the topic subtitle.

Yes.

Just kidding. It was, in fact, subliminal_animal.
