Baseball has big home field advantage because a park can be unique enough to mess with a road team, basketball seems to have the home team get a lot of calls their way. Hockey's home ice advantage has seemed pretty negligible.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
ANOTHER last-second Bulls win over the Knicks, this time with Nocioni nailing a three to tie and Ben Gordon to get the dagger with a tenth of a second left. God. They're the Cardiac Kids.
I'm holding out for another upset against Detroit that makes Larry Brown go nutty. I think we can ride the wave of momentum from the last Knicks game to beat them again at MSG tomorrow afternoon, and Atlanta/Boston should be easy wins.
Watch the Hawks win by 24.
I think a lot of people are trying to take the high road and say "only a loser would do that. You are not part of the team!" Then again, I've grown up exposed to years and years of
"what's the score of the Bears game?"
"we're winning by three"
"do you think we have a good shot this year?"
"of course not"
"yeah we got another three-peat!"
and such, without anyone ever challenging our right to associate ourselves with the teams that represent our community.
New Jack cannot be on SmackDown. I don't watch SmackDown, and certainly won't for New Jack. He doesn't need to be part of a storyline, he needs to just kill all those motherfuckers on Raw.
For the record, I feel fine referring to the Cubs with "we." Maybe the rest of the Chicago teams too. But I'd feel weird using it for other teams I may like, such as the Red Sox. We didn't win the World Series, but I was glad they did.
