    Commissioner for a day

    I am sorry but quite of few of you would kill the NBA with some of your ideas. I say: 1: Change the first round back to a 5 game series. 2: Adopt the college system of freethrow shooting in the 4th. One and one before the bonus. It will make the game quicker and more exciting. 3: Non playoff teams play a tournament for the order of the draft. Winner gets first pick, runner up gets second and so on and so on for all non-playoff teams. And this comes before the playoffs. It gives all playoff teams a week before the playoffs start to rest up and get a good start and it lets the other teams in the league get some TV time regardless. 4: Return to the oldschool pacing of playoff games with only one game rest in between the games. No reason the playoffs should take 4 months.

    Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs

    Don't underrate WHO's defense? Tony Parker is easily the worst defender on a playoff team that gets minutes. If Damon Jones wasn't around, he would have been the worst one in the playoffs. And I don't mean that as a stretch in the slightest. And I not trying to be a homer because Amare Stoudimire comes in a close second, but at least he will give you a weak side block or two. Parker is absolutely HORRIBLE defensively. But he has put up a HOF type resume so far in his career and there is no reason to believe that he will slow down, so I would say, barring some Roy Tarpley-esque breakdown, he will be in the hall. But yeah....I could put up 20 on Parker...of course he would put up 115 on me, but still.

    2007 NBA Draft Thread

    WAY too much sense. The best trade for both teams. The Nets would be a contender with a solid guy on the block for Kid to get the ball to and Portland gets their small forward in the underrated Jefferson who can do alot when he isn't sharing superstar time with Vince and Kidd (he was amazing for that half a season when Kidd was gone and there was no Carter there...)

    Iran executing Pornstars

    Eh. Why would you go to Iran to shoot a porno anyway. Just move first. And seriously, if you did shoot a porn there, how would anyone explain finding out, seeing as they aren't allowed to watch porn. Thats like shooting porn in a church. How exactly are the people that would say something about it knowing that it exist?

    Jackson: PRIDE Offered Bonus to Lose

    I guess, but when I saw the fight for the first time, knowing nothing about this story of course, it looked like Jackson came out, showed that if he wanted to he could break Sakuraba in half if he wanted to, feigned tossing him out the ring to once again prove his dominance and then all of a sudden he gets caught in a SLOW ass choke and looked pretty indifferent after the match. Not saying thats what happened, but that was my exact thought when I first saw it.

    Driving

    You know something funny. I have never had to take a driving test. I got a permit when I was like 17, had that for a while, then moved to Georgia, renewed my alabama permit again a few years back, then when I finally got a car I got it transfered to a Georgia license somehow. And I just got it renewed for another 10 years. I always figured someone would catch that, but yep. Apparently a Alabama permit= Georgia license...well...at least that day I went to the DMV.

    What the fuck college are you going to where the girls are getting into fist fights with coke dealers and feeling up Mariah Carey? You know why I like Lindsey. Because she is the only one that is supposed to be fucking up. Regular kid getting money, with a dad in prison. That usually does end up being a violent coke addict that fucks random women.

    2007 NBA Draft Thread

    Darius Miles has had Microfracture surgury and is rehabbing by eating alot of ice cream and sitting on his ass apparently. that dude is done. I still think the team would be better served with Aldridge as the starter. They HAVE to move Zach if for no other reason, his salary is eating up so much room that they aren't going to be able to resign some of these guys that really are the future of the franchise. Oden Aldridge, a 3 from the Randolf trade, Roy and jack with Pryzbilla, mystery PF, a resigned travis Outlaw(who should be cheap), webster (who could really be a starter in my eyes) and Rodriguez off the bench. Thats a pretty deep team.

    2007 NBA Draft Thread

    They aren't trading Marion for a deal that shitty. They basically get one shitty oft injured player, one half way decent player, and a rookie. For the guy in the top 20 of every statistical catagory in the NBA. Not even close...oh and they would still be over the cap and paying the luxury tax. I still say trade Amare for KG and call it a championship.

    2007 NBA Draft Thread

    Sad since they could pick up some immediate help out of this draft...but they won't because Phil don't play no rooks! I want to see who takes a stab at Nick Fazekas. If the Hawks or the Suns were to pick him up, i wouldn't be angry. plus you could probably get him deep in the second round.
  14. Coach is the most logical choice I guess, but I am putting in my vote for it being a returning Stephanie.

    2007 NBA Draft Thread

    I think Conley would be a great addition to a uptempo team and I think he is probably the best point in the draft. But the gap between he, Law and Crittenton is not that big at all, and they will be available at 11. I guess i wouldn't be torn apart if they made a Conley/Hawes combination with thier picks, or if conley was still available at 11 (which there is a chance he might be) take him then, but the team needs a legit inside guy more than they need a point. Especially when Joe Johnson and Josh Smith NEED to dominate the ball so much.

    If you owned an arcade...

    12 years + old is pretty old school to me. You're talking, like, ancient. It's a little hard to get behind choices that have been on a bunch of compilations discs over and over again. But like you said, you don't care really about making money. Hey goddamnit. I was with him. When I hear oldschool, I am thinking most of those games too...well...maybe a little more recent. Like Galaga and Cenipede and Donkey Kong Jr. (or Donkey Kong 2 where you just have to shoot him in the ass all game).

    Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs

    He had already brought the ball up, thus it was a shooting motion. If Bowen had gotten him before he picked up his dribble then it would have been a two shot foul. Basically he fouled him at the start of a shooting motion. But like others have said, it wouldn't have made a difference because they weren't going to win this game either way. But still. It was slightly annoying. If this was Wade last year he would have clear pushed away Bowen and then took the shot and they would have called the foul on Bowen.

    I just hope they don't take Conley and take a big. Wright, Horford, or the big Chinese guy with the first pick(what the hell, he will bring some attention and some ticket sales) and go with Law IV or Crittenton with the second pick, I will be happy. Of course...they will take Wright and Jeff Green.

    Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs

    But its tough to call that a bail out call, when the guy is obviously trying to foul him. Bail out would be him driving to the hole and there being contact and no call(like the Pistons game). This was pretty much a common sense call Plus, seriously, last night it wasn't obvious who the better team was. That was fucking horrible by everyone from top to bottom. Games one and two showed you who the better teams were. And once again, i have to ask Mike Brown, the pick and roll...it doesn't work. EVER. Why the fuck do you keep running it. Everytime lebron caught the ball and no screener came over, he abused Bruce Bowen. When they brought the screener, it was a auto double and you get Anderson trying Dream Shake people with the game on the line.

    Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs

    It SHOULD have been 3 free throws which would have made a huge difference. of course Lebron would have had to make all three, and they would have been in overtime without Gooden's defense and rebounding, so you are probably right, but still. They deserved a chance.

    Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs

    Its funny. Despite the fact that we were all witness to one of the worse no calls in recent NBA history(in the finals on his home court with a INTENTIONAL foul at that) and no one cares because no one thinks the Cavs can win anyway, and everyone else isn't even aware the finals are on.

    Larry Hughes will probably miss the game tonight. When asked about this, Mike Brown said "The team has a good rhythm when Larry starts." and said it would be tough if he didn't play. Okay....has he been watching the fucking series?

    Jackson: PRIDE Offered Bonus to Lose

    Am I the only one that thought Jackson threw this fight. I mean seriously, he came out and threw dude around, slammed him a few times and then got caught in the slowest application of a choke ever. In other words, I think he got the 12k.

    Blasts from the Past

    The greatest pop in the history of the world. Although this is a picture of the pussified upside down astro pop design they came out with just before they stopped production. The originial, you could make that thing to a point so sharp that it could kill a man. This shank/lollipop combination made Astro Pop the greatest thing ever. And i was about a week from stalking Keebler execs over them getting rid of Pizzarias. Because those were the shit.
