And that's all it should be used for. I don't understand anyone who opposes instant replay on the basis that it'll be used to review every single call.

Maurice Lucas, PF ABA All-Rookie Second Team (1974) ABA All-Star (1976) 4-time NBA All-Star (1977–79, 1983) 1 NBA Championship (1977) All-NBA Second Team (1978) All-NBA-Defense First Team (1978) All-NBA-Defense Second Team (1979) Named one of the 30 Greatest Players in ABA History (1997) A 20-10 guy in his prime, as well as a fierce defensive presence and all-around intimidator. He was Charles Oakley before Charles Oakley.

Looks like it did hit the pole somehow. Too bad they couldn't do like Nippy Jones and show the umpire the ball with the mark on it.

What's the rule on that call? The ball hit the top of the wall in fair territory and bounced left of the pole into foul ground. Whatever, you can't tell me they can't introduce replay just to check things like that. And I commend Joe Morgan for calling these games without eyesight (saying the ball caromed off the pole when it clearly didn't) and brainpower (saying he didn't think instant replay would work in cases like that because he personally doesn't think it should ever be used). Truly his working through these handicaps should be an inspiration to us all.

Apparently, there's a Japanese horse named Casino Drive that will be the second favourite at the Belmont, and he'll be a lot fresher because he didn't run in the Derby or the Preakness.

I also need a 6th man, so who better than the reigning Sixth Man of the Year: Manu Ginobili 2001 Lega A (Italy) MVP Euroleague 2000-01 Finals MVP 2002 Lega A MVP All-Tournament, 2002 FIBA World Championship 2002–03 NBA All-Rookie Second Team Olimpia de Oro (2003, 2004 (shared)) 2004 Olympics MVP 2004–05 NBA All-Star All-Tournament, 2006 FIBA World Championship 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors (2008) 2007–08 NBA Sixth Man of the Year 2007–08 All-NBA Third Team A terrific scorer and defender. He's a perfect fit for my team, even if he didn't play in the 70s.

You are the first person I've ever seen say that.

Yes, that's in the first post.

Oh, goody.

Yeah, the SA/NO Game 7 not being on the weekend makes no sense at all. They should be playing Saturday.

1) CanadianChris - Wayne Gretzky 2) EHME - Mario Lemieux 3) CanadianGuitarist - Patrick Roy 4) Angle Is God - Gordie Howe 5) UndertakerHart - Mark Messier That picture of Messier is one of my favourite pictures in all of sports.

WHEW. I can't believe they survived the ending. I was sure someone was going to hit a 3.

Weren't they in the frontcourt?

OK, 909, NOW you can take Orr. I can't believe I was debating taking Orr first, and he ends up going sixth.

I love how Phil Jackson's chair (for his hip, presumably) makes him look like he's sitting on a throne, ruling over all his assistants.

I believe it's, "REF YOU SUCK!"

Oh, those foul-mouthed Mormons.

Are you kidding? Lebron ran right into him. Pierce beat Lebron to the spot. The strip happened after Lebron initiated contact (maybe simultaneously, but it didn't look that way). Pierce tried to embellish it at the end, but the contact was clearly initiated by Lebron. I ran it back on my PVR just to be sure.

The rest of the Cavs better show up Sunday, because there's no way Lebron's beating the home version of the Celtics by himself.

That is one of the worst charging calls ever.

WTF? Is this for real? Andre > Everyone ever, forever. "I'm on the Brute Squad." "You ARE the Brute Squad."

No, Doris Burke is a very good announcer. Easily the best female announcer I've ever heard.

Poor David Purcey. He probably wishes they left him in Syracuse after all that.

Oh, that's a good pick. His numbers don't do him justice at all.

WTF? Is this for real?
