I just want to thank the Basketball Gods for leading the Pacers to victory. A Boston/Detroit series would have been sheer boredom Now the first question that needs to be answered is how many bomb threats will there be by the start of game one.?

Anybody else watching the best game of the playoffs so far. Sonics lead by 5, 104-99 with 6 minutes to play

Man, David Stern ain't taking shit from no one

Ben Wallace wins the Defensive Player of the Year for the third time in four years

You do realize the Sonics split the the series between both San Antonio and Denver right? And beat them both at home and on the road? I guess he also forget that they swept the Heat as well. Everyone forgets that the Sonics were up there with the Suns and Spurs before injuries got to them. Man if its Spurs vs. Sonics I don't who I'll root for, since I like both teams.

Here is the Christian's Rap in it's entirety "On RAW you've got Batista with muscle to spare, but he's got charisma like Tomko's got hair. You've got Triple H and Ric Flair, their legend still grows, 26 titles between them, and the worlds biggest nose. Have you heard the one about JBL, the rich guy on Smackdown? I hear his taxes are still soaring, he's no wrestling god, just a god of boring. Hey Cena, you think I'm jealous of your fortune and fame, well you talk like snoop dog but you look like Corey Haim. So after the draft, whether its RAW or Smackdown, JR or Michael Cole, I will be champion, cuz that's how I roll. " Hopefully they go through with this and send Christian to Smackdown, I have been asking for this feud since last year's draft was announced.

The first end season award will be handed out today The L.A. Times is reporting that the Clippers have scheduled a newsconference this afternoon to announce that Bobby Simmons has won the Most Improved Player Award. He is the first Clipper to win an individual award since the team has been in Los Angeles. Congratulations to Bobby and hopefully he will be back in a Clipper uniform next year helping the team make the playoffs.

Spoke too soon

Gotta say that T-Mac won my respect tonight not because of the way he played but because of his postgame interview with the guys in the studio. He came off as one of the nicest guy in the league, humble and more importantly seemed to be "just one of the guys"

Pacers Win !!!!!!! 82-79

By Dave Meltzer WWE has announced that since there were no matches taped in New York for Heat or Velocity, that tomorrow night's Velocity show will feature the dark match Battle Royal for the Wrestlemania DVD taped in Los Angeles

PLEEEEEEEASE do it, Brian. Man when I saw that in a recent L.A. Times article I just shook my head and laughed. Grant said that the Lakers are probably not even going to ask him because they know there is no way in hell will he consider not picking up his option. How a man can live with himself knowing he is making 15 million dollars averaging 4 points and 4 rebounds per game. I will never know?

My Playoff thoughts -Bulls vs Wizards is going to be a hell of a series -It came to me during the Sonics/Kings game that the team I enjoyed watching play the most this season has been the Seattle Sonics - Would love to a see a Suns/Sonics conference final -Memphis needs to let Mike Miller shot the ball every chance he gets versus the Suns -Detroit is going to destroy everyone in its path -That the Clippers have a smart coach. Dunleavy went out of his way to kiss Joe Johnson's ass during the telecast last night since he would be a perfect fit for the team. If he wasn't restricted that is the guy I would like the Clips to go after but since he is, they need to go after Hughes or Redd

EDIT: Wrong NBA thread

DC has set up a webpage that each Monday summarizes the previous week's books that have a connection to Infinite Crisis. Crisis Counseling The books summarized today are OMAC Project #1 , Teen Titans #23, Robin #137, and Manhunter #9

Are you sure this is the worst win-loss record of all time? Actually the 1974-75 team went 30-52 I just meant that this was the worst because of the circumstances(Made Finals last year, losing Shaq and Phil and finishing behind Clippers)

Well it's official now This is the worst laker season ever and for only the third time ever they will finish behind the Clippers
