By that logic, I didn't watch it either, so that's why it went down.

Almost doesn't count around playoff time. That is very true. Just be sure to let Tracy McGrady know that.

I'm a Bulls fan as well, however, lets not forget that Jalen Rose doesn't have Paul Pierce on his team to bail him out.

Credit - ESPN.com NEW ORLEANS -- Paul Silas was fired as coach of the New Orleans Hornets on Sunday after five seasons in which he set the franchise record for victories. The Hornets went 47-35 this season, finishing third in the Central Division. They were knocked out of the playoffs Friday night, eliminated in the first round in six games by the Philadelphia 76ers. Silas said he received a phone call Sunday from team co-owner Ray Wooldridge, who said the Hornets would not renew his contract. "The decision was made for me. It was a little surprising, but they have the right to make their own decisions," Silas said. "We had a good ride, and I appreciate the opportunity they gave me." He leaves with an overall mark of 208-155 with the Hornets, who moved from Charlotte to New Orleans after last season. Silas took the Hornets to the playoffs each of the past four seasons, but they never advanced beyond the second round. The Hornets said in a news release that Silas' coaching staff also would not return next season. "We would like to thank Paul and his staff for all their efforts and hard work during their coaching tenure and with them the very best in their future opportunities," team majority owner George Shinn said. Silas said he was glad the Hornets told him of their decision so quickly, so he will have time to look for a coaching job elsewhere for next season. The only other NBA team without a coach right now is the Toronto Raptors, who fired Lenny Wilkens right after the regular season ended. Silas was popular among fans and his players with the Hornets. Starting point guard Baron Davis and others said after their final game that they wanted Silas to return next year. Most players were out of town or unreachable Sunday. Silas and Shinn worked on a contract extension before the past season, but were unable to reach an agreement. Once the season started, Shinn and Silas said they would stop negotiating until the season's end. Silas was earning about $1.5 million per season. Silas said as recently as the final playoff game on Friday that he loved New Orleans and was optimistic something could be worked out. The past season was the team's first since moving from Charlotte, where the owners became notorious for letting go popular players, such as Alonzo Mourning, for financial reasons. They said it was difficult to remain financially competitive because of Charlotte's outdated arena, which had only 12 luxury suites. The main reason the team moved to New Orleans was the city's new arena, which has many more suites, high-priced club seats and other revenue-generating amenities that NBA owners say are needed to stay financially competitive.

I know. That incident was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post about Nash botching his powerbomb.

If they self-destruct at the end of the season for the 3rd year in a row they should. I'm not gonna argue that one at all, because that is true.

That is scary to even think about.

That reminds me of the incident where he tried to powerbomb The Giant in WCW.

I can agree with that... As far as wrestling events go, that's probably the best one I've ever spent money on, or at least over the last few years that is.

hahahahah Didn't mean to confuse you there, Flyboy. I thought you would've known what I had meant. Speaking of your Saints, I don't see them getting rid of Haslett and his crew anytime soon.

I don't think the "Orlando Tracy McGradys" can' be classified as a team. That seems about right.

Really? Why is it McGrady hasn't gotten his team out of the FIRST ROUND of the playoffs almost, if not, every time he's been in the playoffs with the Orlando Magic? He had a great shot just a few games ago to finally do it. And guess what didn't happen? He had THREE chances to do it and blew them all. And lets not also forget that McGrady shot 7-24 for 21 points in today's Game 7. Not very good for someone who is trying to get his team out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time in several years, is it? Face it, until he proves to be otherwise, Tracy McGrady IS a playoff choke-artist, just like the rest of that piece of shit team he plays for. I like McGrady too, I just feel that he's overrated until he proves himself to be a clutch player in the playoffs, where it counts the most.

It might be 'debatable' whether or not Bryant is better than McGrady. However, McGrady is a fucking playoff choke-artist.

So, where are all of you fools who kept saying that Tracy McGrady is better than Kobe Bryant? Which one's team choked away a 3-1 lead and LOST?

LMFAO Yeah, I know... Isn't this the SAME Tracy McGrady who called the Hawks a soft team and then went on to LOSE to them in the playoffs years ago? I'd say this is more karma for Mr McGrady.

You're kidding, right? Nope 40 bucks. 50-58 if you are Canadian (and I'm assuming going to a Silvercity near you). That is utterly ridiculous... then again, I did pay $40 for WrestleMania 17 in 2001...

Anyone think this will hurt his chances of being hired anywhere else?

Speaking of choking... how about the Orlando Magic? I fucking HATE the Magic and this is just great... they blow a 3-1 lead in this series and now they're getting their sorry asses handed to them in Game 7. They greatly deserve this. Sorry T-Mac, you're a good player and all, but you aren't getting out of the first round unless your team pulls a miracle outta their asses.

LMAO Geez... Either some people are really stupid, or they're just doing that to see if others believe them.

You're kidding, right?

I hope not...I like Madden's gameplay and don't want them screwing around with it. They can improve graphics and options all they want, but leave the gameplay alone. I agree. Madden's gameplay kicks ass.

Got a picture of that?

I dunno who they'd have in mind for the NFL 2K4 cover. Here is the GameDay cover with Tomlinson.

That cover kicks ass. I'm guessing that is the real cover. Now what I want to know is, when the hell are they gonna put Terrell Owens on the cover of one of these games? Speaking of NFL games, LaDainian Tomlinson is on the cover of NFL GameDay 2004.

hahahahahahaha That thing rules in so many ways.
