    NBA Eastern Conference Finals

    66 points!? Dude, wade or no wade, that's frikken awful. I only caught teh first half. funny thing i was at a bowling alley with some friends, and right above our lane was a screen with the game on it. after the 1st quarter it was tied, 14-14. it was obvious right then that this would be a strong detroit win even though it was tied. unless you're the pacers, you score that little against detroit and you've already lost the battle of tempo. still didnt expect the absolute massacre though. miami better hope and pray d-wade can play. and who exactly is larry brown supposed to be distracting? Not the players, who have long since started rolling their eyes and ignoring the latest LB drama (he's oging to new york! he's going to la! he's going to cleveland!). Not the detroit fans, polls before the current drama already showed that they expected this to be Brown's last season. so, uh, who exactly? sounds like the media needs to bitch about something.

    Vaughn off of X-Men 3

    man FOX just needs to bite the bullet and push this shit back 6 months. Their obsession with the release date ASSUREs taht no quality director will want to take this gig, by jumping in just weeks before filming and not having any real creative influence.

    well CLEARLY it was the media who made him say that. .

    When you absolutely positively need an unremarkable mediocre movie to get made fast, call Brett Ratner. Accept no substitutes.

    NBA Eastern Conference Finals

    i hate to say it, but it looks like the pistons are out of gas, just the way they played, the refs getting inside thier heads AGAIN. I dont see them winning two in a row against Miami. the difference maker was 'Zo. yeah i really hate him too, but i think he was the rasheed-like pickup that put them over the hump. still i hope i'm wrong. shaq vs duncan is so old and boring.

    NBA Western Conference Finals

    ^ boo fuckin hoo. That's the fault of the Dallases, and the Kings and the Suns and all the rest for not being good enough, and ignoring defense. The blame rests on them, not the good teams for actually being good.

    one observation, Elden Cambpell plays Shaq MUCH better than Ben Wallace, or Rasheed or Dice. Its funny because he's pretty much useless for anything else, but he really bumps up against Shaq and prevents Shaq from "pushing in" too close to the basket, forcing him to either pass out or throw up so-so shots.

    http://www.detnews.com/2005/pistons/0505/31/F01-198608.htm "I'm telling you, there's no deal in place," Brown said late Monday. "I haven't done one thing. I've never met (Cavs owner) Dan Gilbert. Now all of a sudden, people are implying there's a distraction, that's what bothers me. Why do I have to keep responding to this?" To be fair, its more than possible he's saying that now to avoid any tampering allegations and all that, but he's also on a radio show in detroit insisting that there is no deals in place. The whole story just seems really weird... in its timing, right before Detroit's true must-win game... the nature of the story. "Larry Brown told two league sources"... uh WHO exactly??? Did he talk to the janitor and say he was planning on going to CLevelenad? And isn't it strange how Stein immediatly took it as gospel and starts writing articles as if its already done?? The whole thing is bizarre. I'm not saying its false, but the whole thing just feels somehow, weird. ALl i have to say is, for ESPNs sake, LB better go to the Cavs, because if he DOESN'T, then ESPN should be in trouble (but they won't be). By the way, releasing LB during the ECF would be the dumbest idea in history considering there is no "official" report, even if it is a hushed secret deal in place. The Pistons play awful under Gar heard. It would literally be forfeiting the ECF.

    NBA Eastern Conference Finals

    yeah, 2-1 is hardly insurmountable, specially with game 4 at home. (for clarification, my 'its as good as over' comment was referring to Game 3, with 2 mins left, not the series as a whole) But 3-1 going back to Miami, thats as good as insurmountable. Game 4 should be veery interesting.

    kind of a meltdown there by detroit. this is as good as ever, miami looking impressive. Game 4 is must win for detroit or series is basically over.

    One and Only Star Wars Geekiness Thread

    anyone go watch "A New Hope" again after seeing RotS? The other prequels didn't do much at all in enhancing the OT (except for me thinking 'geez these old movies are so much better than the prequels'), but i found episode III really made ANH an interesting experience. Alec Guiness rules, and he has all these shifty faces which (even if they weren't intended by Lucas) bring extra meaning. I could almost picture a pissed off hayden behind the Vader mask, and what I once though was corny and contrived form the other prequels (oh so anakin AND threepio are from tatooine, how lame they always end up going back there) actually seems dramatically fitting after RotS, like destiny is forcing everybody back to the same spot for a collision after the universal madness in RotS. Also, R2 really seems like he knows his shit. As i recall only THreepio had his memory wiped from RotS. However the Obi-Wan/Vader reunion in ANH seems oddly mellow after how crazy the shit went down in RotS. You think they'd be spitting hatred at each other. I think its interesting that Leia becomes such a prominent figure in the Rebellion and her being the sister kind of jibes better now. I wonder if Obi-Wan stayed on tatooine the whole time. Like, did he ever take vacations? Chill with Yoda on Dagobah for a week every year, go fishing in that swamp? One thing they never got to explaining, why Dagobah? whats so special about that place and whats the deal with the dark side cave (i know the EU had an explanation for that but i dont really care about that). Actually it'd be kind of cool if it turned out Yoda's people came from a swamp-planet, which would explain why he stays in dagobah.

    Firefly on DVD

    I saw Serenity last night at the Boston screening. An awesome time. The movie was HI-LARIOUS, and touching. the non-firefly fan I brought with me dug it also, though someone else in the theater explained some background of the series to him before the movie. I dont know if you're gonna get 2 or 3 non firefly fans to go see this on their own, but if each browncoat brings one or 2 friends with him/her, everything will be gravy. Did I mention it was funny? Damn, we were cracking up. The big ending events felt a bit rushed though, if this had been spread over a season of Firefly, it would be the best season ever. and River has the #1 sci-fi badass moment of the year.

    LOST

    my impression is that the others are basically survivors of all the varoius crashes on the island (old pirate-ish ship, drug plane crash, french expedition, etc etc). The kids are captured and raised as one of the Others. or perhaps the adult survivors are also captured and dont age.

    LOST

    this episode was dissapointing as fuck. I cant believe they took half a season introducing the hatch... THREE FULL HOURS trying to blow it open, and then show us nothing. that's fucking cheap. so cheap that i wonder if the writers even have any fuckin' clue what's in there. The stuff with the others capturing Walt was aces through.

    i was surprised the pistons were able to stay in it after playing such a crap game. thats at least a good sign for them. this series is turning into a slobberknocker.

    WWE are morons.. Ok Goldy

    actually Goldberg is 100 percent right. WWE are morons, their shows have been crap for ages. of course, goldberg himself is also a moron, which he neglected to mention.

    NBA Eastern Conference Finals

    Finally. My #1 most anticipated playoff match. I've been encouraged by the way the pistons have played against the heat during the season. It'll be tough but I'm banking on detroit to pull it out. it could go either way though. Alonzo was a big pickup which might be the balance-pusher. Shaq may not be healthy the first one or two games, which provides detroit a great opportunity to steal one in Miami, then try to hold home court, if they want to win. i'm interested to see what kind of strategy pistons pull to try to slow down Wade, best way to slow down an offensive star is to wear him down on the otherend. Which means putting Wade to defend Rip is a no-no for Miami (dont want wade chsing Rip around like a madman) Billups, contrary to what someone said in the otehr thread, is a good defender, but i doubt he has the speed (but he has the body strength). Best bet is to put Prince on him, or maybe rotate Prince, Billups, Rip, and Lindsey through the game like they did with Iverson. My (hesitant) prediction: Detroit in 6

    NBA Playoffs

    people were picking the Kings to beat the Sonics??? THE KINGS!?!? Oy. two of my predictions (Pistons and Spurs in 6) came true today, but I was ONE Wizards win away from going 3 for 3 (couldn't even win one measly game *shakes head* ). my predic for dall/phe was phoenix in 7.

    well, congrats on a great career, Reggie. that was quite a moment. that said, i'm just as glad the series is over and we can finally get to Miami vs Detroit, which i've only been waiting the whole playoffs for.

    UPN moves Smackdown to Friday Night

    dude that would absolutely rock. of course it would wreak havok with WWE's business, but you have to think the raw/smackdown thing would gain tons of intensity (which WWE would probably kill with bad booking as per usual but whatever).

    LOST

    nothing really from that moment on. Vincent starts swimming towards it, Walt tells Vincent to go back (dog goes back), big emotional swelling moment, the raft sails off... the last thing we see is one last shot of the smoke (from an odd POV, others have theorized we're seeing this from the monster/security's POV or vincent's POV or something). i dont recall the timing exactly so i dont know if the black rock reveal already happened when your tape cut off... in case it didn't, they go to the black rock and it's actually an old-style ship (pirate perhaps?) called "the Black Rock"

    NBA Playoffs

    Detroit and San Antonio would be one of the best finals ever. Their games were entertaining also. the sluggish pace is more of a product of the two teams (Pistons and Pacers) specifically imo. Every time detroit has played the other elite teams like miami, San Antonio and Phoenix, the games have been fun.

    UPN moves Smackdown to Friday Night

    this is one of those deals where they kinda want to get rid of it, so they deliberatly move it to Fridays so they can point and say "bad ratings, sorry, gotta go). HHH knows that tactic well
