Pacers win 96-94 in OT after trailing by as many as 20 points in the 3rd quarter. Big fourth quarters from Armstrong, Daniels, and Granger, and Murphy had 17 & 12. Shaq played 14 minutes and had 5 points and 5 rebounds. He didn't look too sharp, to put it kindly, but that would be expected after so much time off. Jason Kapono is a hell of a shooter.

Shaq is back in the lineup tonight against the Pacers.

As you see, Zack has posted a new thread for specs, so let's please try to get all the specs in the same thread this year. I don't mean to sound rude, I just don't like sifting through 3 or 4 pages of specs if I'm doing a multi-man match. Even if you just C&P your old ones into the thread, I don't care as long as they're all in the same place.

Don't forget KLECKO~!

The Bulls aren't getting a pick from the Knicks, they just have the right to swap. If they included that pick, it would then presumably be the Grizzlies' right to swap, and they'll end up with a better pick than the Knicks anyway. If Deng gets traded, I think Nocioni/Sefolosha/Griffin is good enough to get them by at the 3. Like Roy said, Thomas is the deal-breaker.

Also, I'd like to get some of the Bulls fans' thoughts on possibly getting Gasol. You get your offensive weapon down low that you've been looking for, are you interested/what would you give up for him? I've heard Luol Deng mentioned in pretty much every scenario from the "dirt sheets".

Riggs plays to the crowd, which boos him in response. COLE And a lot of confidence in James Riggs at the moment! Alf applauds Riggs while sitting on the mat, then holds up his hand, and Riggs slaps him five. Alf holds out two thumbs up to him, as Riggs heads over to Black. COLE And Alf trying to catch his breath, he's in for a long night, as is Dan Black, as are all of these men! Riggs delivers a backbreaker to Black, then sets him up on the ropes. As soon as he does, Alf pops up from his spot in the corner, rushes over, and dumps Riggs to the floor from behind! COLE Oh, and Riggs eliminated now, what a setup! There wasn't a damn thing wrong with Alf! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2nd elimination: James Riggs time in ring: 9:24 eliminated: Scotty Static eliminated by: Alfdogg Left in ring: Alfdogg, Dan Black, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, El Espirito ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alf laughs at Riggs on the floor, as Riggs and Staci are up in arms. Staci begins to scream at Alf, and Alf responds with the "back off" gesture (where you hold your hand with your palm facing down, and move your four fingers up and down), at which point Staci immediately stops screaming, and starts stomping up and down on the floor before Riggs finally escorts her to the back. COLE And Staci is hot, in more ways than one! Looks like page 45's going to have to wait for another night. COACH Well, tough break for James, but he put his trust in the wrong guy right there! Heat brings Strutter over, and grabs Alf's head from behind, ramming them together, as the countdown begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Krokodilamadurinn[/i] plays, and Spanish Fly runs to the ring. COLE And it's Spanish Fly coming in at #8! So another group of good friends in there now! COACH Ah, I don't know about that, Cole! You saw what happened in the tag match earlier tonight! As Black hammers on Strutter in a corner, Fly slides in and is met by El Espirito. More running across the ring ensues, and Fly is able to land a flying chop! COLE Incredible speed being shown here by Espirito and the Fly! Alf hammers on Heat in a corner, then whips him across. Heat springs over the top of Alf, then turns around...and at the same time, Espirito ducks a Fly dropkick, causing Heat to take it! COACH See? What did I tell you, Cole? COLE Oh, stop! That was an accident! Heat questions Fly's motives, as Fly tries to plead his case. Eventually, Fly turns back to Espirito, at which point Alf shoves Heat from behind right into Fly! Heat turns back and approaches Alf as Alf "begs off", and Fly spins Heat around and decks him with a right hand! COACH Look at that, Cole! They hate each other, I'm telling you! COLE Oh, please, Alf shoved Heat right into Fly on purpose! He knew what he was doing! Fly attempts an Irish whip on Heat, which Heat reverses, and attempts a tilt-a-whirl on Fly, but Fly lands on his feet, then hooks his legs around Heat's waist, pushes himself up with his hands, and catches Heat with a BULLDOG~! COLE And a nice bulldog by Fly on his tag team partner, Colombian Heat! COACH Maybe not after tonight! Fly then picks up Heat and tries to dump him over, but Heat struggles free and shoves Fly to the mat. Fly gets up, and the two get in each other's face and start talking to one another. Strutter grabs Fly from behind, and tries to dump him, but Heat immediately puts a stop to that. COACH Now why would he save the guy after he tried to eliminate him? COLE I think deep down, these guys are still friends. The competition's just getting the better of them out here! Heat pulls Fly back in, and calms him down, and the partners share a high ten, then go to work on Alf. COACH Oh, come on! COLE Time for #9! 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Smells Like Teen Spirit[/i] hits, and Kenji Kawada gets a nice ovation as he walks to the ring. COLE And Kenji Kawada in no hurry, taking his time, smart! Kawada climbs in slowly, and delivers some STIFF~! blows to Felix Strutter. COACH Oh, man! This guy's a hard hitter! Kawada goes after Espirito next, delivering a couple forearms to the back, then hooking him from behind and delivering a release German suplex! COLE And Espirito folded up like an accordion! Dan Black then easily picks up Espirito, and pitches him over the top to the floor! COLE And Espirito is gone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3rd elimination: El Espirito time in ring: 4:37 eliminated: none eliminated by: Dan Black Left in ring: Alfdogg, Dan Black, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, Spanish Fly, Kenji Kawada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alf and Strutter are double-teaming Heat, as Fly helps out, going to the eyes of Strutter. Meanwhile, Kawada has turned his attention to Black. COACH Black's taken some tremendous shots already, it won't get any easier from here! Kawada delivers hard shots to Black in the corner, as Alf and Strutter deliver a double back suplex to Heat, then Strutter and Fly go at it as Alf jumps Kawada from behind. Alf delivers shots to the back, then whips him into the ropes. Kawada reverses, then catches Alf with a HARD back elbow! COLE Oh, and Alf goes down in a heap! COACH He might want to check his teeth after that one! Kawada picks up Alf, and sets up a powerbomb. Alf slips free in front, then quickly grabs Kawada and delivers a snap suplex! Strutter comes over to help Alf as the count begins again... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Tear Away[/i] plays, and Christian Wright is soaked in boos as he makes his way out. COACH All right! COLE It's the Moral Highground, Christian Wright! Wright jogs down, and slides in, going after Colombian Heat, choking him in the ropes as he was trying to get up. Fly comes to the aid of his partner, but Wright saw it coming, delivering a back elbow to Fly. Wright poses, then catches a BIG clothesline from Kawada! COLE And Wright picked the wrong time to pose right there! COACH Absolutely, you can't have your back turned on Kawada! Kawada takes Wright into a corner, while Alf and Strutter once again attempt to dump Black. COLE Black in trouble again! Heat and Fly come over for the save, as Heat pairs off with Strutter and Fly with Alf. Irish whips, and Alf and Strutter are sent into each other! Kawada then delivers a big double clothesline! COLE And another big blow from Kawada! Black then jumps Kawada from behind, before going after Wright. Black delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Wright thumbs Black in the eye, then spins him around and delivers a CHOP~! of his own! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Wright then delivers a belly-to-belly! Kawada picks his spots in the corner, as Heat and Strutter duke it out, as do Alf and Spanish Fly. Kawada eventually decides to cound away on Alf, as the count begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!!

COLE And now it's time, Coach! 30 men will compete for the ultimate prize, a shot at the OAOAST World Heavyweight championship at the biggest event in the business, AngleMania VI!

Every two minutes thereafter, another participant enters the match, according to the number he pulled. Remember, in the Lethal Rumble, it is every man for himself! Elimination occurs when a participant is thrown out over the top rope, and BOTH FEET must touch the floor. The one man remaining in the ring after all 30 participants have entered, will be declared the winner, and will receive an OAOAST championship match at ANGLEMANIA VI![/i] *Fink hands the mic back to Buffer.* BUFFER [i]Ladies and gentlemen...there you have it.

Ladies and gentlemen...LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEE!!!!![/i] The crowd is silent, as Buffer and Fink step out of the ring. COLE Who's #1? Here we go! COACH I can't take this excitement anymor... [i]Magnum Opus[/i] hits, and the crowd gives a shocked reaction, then starts to boo. COACH No way! COLE Alf was very upset earlier, and now we see he had every right to be! Alfdogg, clearly upset, walks through the curtains and slowly to the ring. BUFFER [i]Ladies and gentlemen, here is the #1 participant in the Lethal Rumble match! Weighing 240 pounds, he is a former Heavyweight champion of the WORLD...ALFDOGG!!!!![/i] COLE So if Alf wants to repeat as Rumble champion, he'll have to go the duration of the match, Coach! COACH This is unbelievable, Cole! Alf snatches his arm from a fan's grasp, then climbs into the ring. He steps in and walks over to his corner, then leans back in it as the music stops. [i]Quiet[/i] by Smashing Pumpkins hits, and Dan Black gets a big pop as he makes his way out. COLE And it's another OAOAST Original, Dan Black! BUFFER [i]Here is the #2 participant, hailing from London, England, and weighing in at 243 pounds, he is regarded as the greatest tag team wrestler in OAOAST history...one half for Black T..."THE ICE HEART" DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN BLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLACK!!!!![/i] COLE What a way to kick off the Lethal Rumble match, Coach, with a pair of OAOAST Originals! Black climbs into the ring, and Alf pounces immediately! *DING DING DING* COLE And the Lethal Rumble match is under way! Black quickly gains the advantage and fires off right hands, backing Alf into a corner. Black stops, then whips Alf across the ring. Alf grabs the ropes, and hops backwards over Black as he charges. Alf comes at Black with a clothesline, which Black ducks, then delivers one of his own! COLE And the crowd is loving this action! Black picks up Alf, and delivers a vertical suplex! He then picks up Alf once again, for another suplex, but this time carries him to the corner! COLE Could be an early elimination attempt by Black here! Alf fires off right hands, backing Black off, then steps up to the top rope. He leaps off, as Black ducks out of the way. Alf sees this coming, however, and somersaults off the mat, ala Eddie Guerrero. He then rolls back down to his back, as Black approaches him, and kicks his feet up, catching Black right underneath the chin and knocking him to the mat! COACH And a nice prescence of mind by Alf there! Alf gets to his feet, and picks up Black, delivering a snap suplex, followed by a snap legdrop! Alf then plays to the crowd, drawing boos, before picking up Black in a slam and setting him up on the top rope! COLE And now it's Alf going for the early elimination! Alf has Black up as the crowd screams in terror, but Black blocks with his hands before going to the eyes. COACH What a cheater! COLE It's all legal here, though, no disqualifications! The only out is over the top rope! Black and Alf get to their feet, and Alf grabs Black and whips him into the ropes. Black leapfrogs Alf, then ducks a clothesline, and catches Alf with a spinning wheel kick! COLE And a great kick by Dan Black, as we come up on the two-minute mark! Black is PUMPED, as the countdown begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Dani California[/i] hits, and the crowd boos as James Riggs runs to the ring, escorted by Staci Robert (and the whistles of male fans which escort her). COLE And it's James Riggs, coming in at #3! Riggs slides into the ring, and levels Black from behind with a double axhandle blow. Riggs stomps Black as he lays on the mat, then chokes him on the ropes as Alf catches his wind in a corner. COLE And James Riggs doing a number on Dan Black following that sneak attack! Riggs stands up, and places his knee into the back of Black, pressing him against the ropes, as Alf gets to his feet, then spins Riggs around and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! However, Riggs fights back, delivering rights, then whips Alf into the ropes and catches him with a high backdrop! Riggs then floors Alf with a dropkick, before making his way back to Black. COLE And James Riggs looking very impressive against two all-time greats, Coach! COACH Well, James Riggs is a tremendous talent, and has shown he can go with the greats of this business, as Zack Malibu can attest! Black is back to his feet by this point, however, and catches Riggs with an inverted atomic drop, followed by a back suplex! COLE But Black was able to catch his wind while Riggs was going at it with Alf! Black then makes his way back to Alf, driving a knee into Alf's jaw in the corner. He then picks Alf up and tries to dump him, but Alf hangs on and hops back through the bottom and middle ropes. COLE And Alf able to survive elimination that time! Alf gets to his feet and attacks Black from behind as he goes after Riggs once again. Alf then teams up with Riggs for a double-team Irish whip. However, Black ducks a clothesline, and floors both men with a double clothesline of his own! COLE And Black is running on adrenaline from the crowd here in Providence! Black picks up Alf, and tries once again to put him over the top. Alf struggles to stay in as the crowd cheers Black on. COLE And Alf close to being eliminated! Riggs gets to his feet and nails Black from behind, allowing Alf to slip back inside. Riggs and Alf double up on Black as the countdown begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Make Her Say[/i] by O-Town plays, and Scotty Static rushes to the ring. COLE And maybe some help on the way for Black! Scotty slides in, trading right hands off on Riggs and Alf. He knocks Riggs to the mat with a big one, but this allows Alf to jump him from behind. Alf whips Scotty to the ropes, and attempts a tilt-a-whirl, but Scotty hooks Alf around the head and takes him down with a spinning headscissors! Dropkick for Riggs! Dropkick for Alf! COLE Scotty on fire here! Black gets to his feet, and grabs Alf as Scotty gets a hold of Riggs. They set up Irish whips, both of which are reversed. However, Black and Scotty DOSIE-DO~! and deliver stereo clotheslines! COLE Lots of exciting action early on here in the Lethal Rumble match! Black hammers Alf in the corner, then charges, but Alf ducks out of the way! Alf then makes his way over to Scotty, and rakes his eyes from behind. He follows that up with a back suplex, then he and Riggs pick up Scotty and try to dump him! COACH And this could be a quick night for Scotty, Cole! COLE Scotty Static in major trouble here! Scotty goes over, but somehow manages to sneak back in through the ropes before they can force him to the floor. COLE And that was a very close call for Scotty Static! Black grabs Riggs from behind, and rakes his eyes. He goes for an Irish whip, but Riggs reverses. Black ducks a clothesline, then delivers a flying forearm! He then goes to Alf, who is choking away on Scotty in the corner. Black hammers him on the back, then he and Scotty each grab a leg, and attempt elimination on Alf! COACH And again Alf in trouble! After a brief struggle, Alf rakes both men's eyes and drops back into the ring as the countdown starts... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Tom Sawyer[/i] plays, and "After Hours" Felix Strutter jogs out to the ring. COLE And Felix Strutter makes his way down, and now it's Alf getting someone to watch his back! Strutter goes to work on Black, and is quickly joined by James Riggs. Alf stomps away on Scotty Static in a corner. COLE Well, we've had five men in, and no one has been eliminated as of yet! COACH We could have our first right now, Cole! Strutter and Riggs have Black in a compromising position over the top rope, but Black is able to struggle out and land on the apron. COLE But Black able to prevent elimination once again! Alf has Scotty up in the corner, as well, but Scotty is able to lift his leg up and give Alf shots to the head, causing him to let go. Strutter then goes after Scotty, as Alf again stops to take a breather. COACH And Alf trying to catch his wind here, he better pace himself if he wants to become the back-to-back winner! Alf looks on as Black and Riggs continue to tangle in a corner. Alf grabs Riggs from behind, spinning him around and delivering an overhead belly-to-belly! COLE And a great suplex by Alf delivered to James Riggs! Alf taunts the crowd, drawing boos. COACH And Alf's starting to get into his zone, Cole! Alf then works on Black, as Strutter attempts to dump Scotty over the top. Scotty gets his whereabouts, then thumbs Strutter in the eye and slides back inside. COLE Still no eliminations, and we're almost ready for #6! Riggs delivers a right hand to Scotty, and Scotty fires back. The two trade blows, until Strutter ducks down and delivers low blows to both men simultaneously! COLE Nice move by Felix Strutter, and it's totally legal! Black grabs Strutter and tosses him over the top, but Strutter barely hangs on. COLE And Strutter hanging on by the skin of his teeth! Strutter approaches Black, and does a jumping spin kick in front of him, then delivers a foot to the gut, followed by a DDT, as the countdown begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!!

Josh Smith was fined $25,000 for flipping the bird to the fans in Charlotte. The original article posted on Yahoo was titled "Atlanta's Smith fined $25".

Actually I was referring to Cartman's knee-slapper up there. I shouldn't have been so general, I guess.

And PK wonders why we bash Patriot fans.

We should have the new guys tommorrow.

Wow, they actually let Croshere play tonight.

Very happy with the Pacers tonight. We played basically 6 guys (Tinsley, Daniels, Granger, O'Neal, Foster with Shawne Williams off the bench, everyone else played 8 minutes or less), and only lost by 3 despite 58% shooting from the Heat. The Heat shot 66% in the first half, 75% between the second and third quarters, and led by as many as 16. If not for the refs blowing a couple plays near the end, we may have snuck out with the win. Foster was HUGE down the stretch, and Granger went for a career-high 28. I expect a lot more nights like that from him with Harrington and Jackson gone.

I'm getting really tired of seeing Wade mentioned as a candidate. The Heat are looking up at the playoffs in the East right now, for fuck's sake. Obviously that will change as the season goes on, but I could probably name at least ten guys who are more deserving at this point. And as has been said, it's hard to get behind Arenas as an MVP candidate since they're not really expected to be a great team, even in the East. I'd say Carlos Boozer deserves as much consideration as Arenas.
