AND that is why people hate the Spurs. Once a game this fucker flops around and gets someone a flagrant. That was bullshit.

His name is AK-47 and is the best passer in Utah. the guy is a incredible passer, you wouldn't lose much defensively(maybe rebounding).

Fuck 45 days. I don't understand how violating parole for a 6 month sentence gets you 45 days, let alone 20...let alone TWO.

Now they are going to use Tom Sizemore as an example... Anyway, they at least should have taken this opportunity to not make a huge mockery of themselves. They probably were tired of paperatzi and the attention it was getting, but fuck, the entire country was watching. I wonder how many short term servers are about to have "nervous breakdowns" and the lawsuits of racial discrimination, sexual discrimination and any other kind they can come up with when they aren't granted release for the exact same thing.

I will readily admit that the Mavs are one of the best teams in the league, and if they hadn't drawn the Warriors in the first round, they probably would be at least in the West finals, if not the Finals. I just don't think they are better than the Suns or the Spurs(although they do match up well against the Spurs)

Thats insane. Nash is good, but he wouldn't be near MVP caliber if it wasn't for the style the Suns play, and that style is all Mike's design. The reason they lose in the playoffs is because Mike doesn't play his bench so when they are needed he doesn't trust them to step in. So when these unfortunate injuries/suspensions come around, they have to play with a 6 man rotation. That is what is killing them. But at the same time, he isn't the first coach to use such a short rotation and he won't be the last. This season was the closest to the full team being there in playoffs to play. And in the games where the entire cast was there, they went 2-2 with the spurs. The other two wins by the spurs were the suspensions and Nash bleeding like a stuck pig out there. To say the Suns haven't made adjustments in the playoffs is just ignoring the facts out there. And lets not pretend like they lost to chopped liver 2 out of the last 3 years. They did lose to the Spurs for christ sake. And this thread is supposed to be about the Cavs and the Spurs anyway.

I don't think I actually picked a winner for the finals. Just that the Spurs should get fucked. So here it is....my official pick... Cavs in 7. Thats right, going with the Cavs. I picked Suns/Cavs for the finals (although my gut told me Spurs/Pistons...my gut and my analysis both were 50/50, so in theory, I was perfect...yeah...that makes sense) so i am picking the team that actually made the finals.

If nothing else, this provided the Sarah Silverman penis/toothcrack joke with Paris sitting right there, which made it all worth it.

The funniest report was about how she wasn't eating or sleeping since she has been there. Like she ate when she was out.

Um...how is Dallas been clearly better than Phoenix the last two years. And if you really want to get into it. In the last three years featured Dallas losing the second round (to Phoenix by the way), losing in the finals and losing in the first round. Phoenix have lost in the west finals twice and once in the semis. Dallas has won 4 play offs series to Phoenix's 5 in the last 3 years. And Joe Johnson was the teams third leading scorer, their primary defender, back up point guard and small forward in 05. He also happens to be a Allstar right now. Raja Bell was clearly the second best player for the Suns in last years playoffs, also their primary defender. Him going down moved Barbosa into the starting lineup and their bench was nonexistant. I don't see how you say they are losing the 4-5 best player. An accurate comparison would be if San Antonio lost Manu or Dallas lost Josh Howard. Yes injuries happen, but at the same time, you have to be some kinda of stupid to say team x is clearly a better team because they won against a team missing its 2nd or 3rd best player. Yes, Dallas is better than the Suns if they are missing Raja Bell, Amares Stoudimire and Kurt Thomas. But The suns are better than the mavs if they are missing Dirk, Jason Terry and Josh Howard....so the fuck what. I am taking the "Suns will never win a championship" and "they were exposed in game 5". Yes, the Spurs did a good job of mounting a comeback against the team playing without its leading scorer and its back up playmaker. How that is a validating moment that the Spurs were better or that the Suns won't win a championship, I don't know. But remove Duncan from the Spurs and how far will they go. And if Duncan were to go down and the spurs lost, does that mean who ever beat them is clearly the better team than the Spurs? Yes the Suns need to utilize their bench more, no doubt, but have no doubts that this team in its current incarnation could win the championship.

Thats still laughable. The problem is lack of bench depth development. I think the suns would have done better in 05 with Joe johnson not injured, but I still don't think they would have took the spurs. In 06, I no doubt think they would have taken the Mavs had Raja Bell been able to keep walk. This year....don't get me started. I just don't think any other team would have their system questioned if one of their top players went down in the playoffs. I do think that if Mike D'antoni would get off that 7-8 man rotation for the entire season crap and extend it to a 9-10 man rotation, they would be better prepared for one of these incidents. But with that said, I don't think Dallas would be any better prepared if one of their top players went down. I personally put the Spurs/Suns about neck and neck in the west with dallas behind them. I don't see how anyone could look at the suns/spurs series this year and say that they didn't see two extremely evenly matched teams.

What did I miss?

After 9pm here the kids have to go. They can go in all day though, its just that they have the Adult time after 9. Dave and Busters here is a fucking club man. People get dressed up to go. Dressed up as in the women come half naked and ready to drink and dance. And play that motorcycle game so their asses are up in the air. I swear all of the kickass in the world started when I stopped being single.

By the way, just to show how dedicated of a NBA fan I am, I am going to have to get microfracture surgery on BOTH knees just so I will know the pain that Amare went through time 2... .. Of course this could just make me a secret K-Mart v1.0 fan. I am sticking with devout Suns fan.

Oh, I didn't say that. That was someone else. He is of decent size that he won't get injured. He just isn't strong. He spent more time working on those things like ball handling, shooting, and passing and didn't hit the weight room very hard. Big whoop. he is still 6'8 and 215. While that is thin, it isn't "you are going to get hurt" thin. he will be alright. He is a perimeter player anyway.

Thats it, and once again, you would be hard pressed to find anything that jesus didn't cover in his time on earth. I think its a little strange that he would just skip over it. But hey, in my beliefs, thats for God to decide. I don't know what he wants so i am not going to spend my time thinking about it or mustering the energy to approve or disapprove of anyones lifestyle.

Durant is about to be worth over a hundred million dollars. You post here.

The two times this has ever happened to me, I ended up paying to see Three Strikes(easily one of th worse movies I have ever seen) and Jeepers Creepers(goddamn I hate this fucking movie). Needless to say, if you are late to the movie i want to see now, fuck it. I ain't going.

If the pistons do blow up the team, Rip Hamilton is the last guy that will be part of the explosion. Tayshaun also. Rasheed and Billups seem to be the expendable guys. Edit: Fuck you cheech for typing faster than me.

So basically instead of pointing out where he specifically talks about adultery, you just say "sexual immorality" and that the line to homosexuality is easy to draw from there. In no way shape or form could you possibly construe anything he said to be referencing homosexuality. And since bible verses are so easy to look up, look up one that supports your point. In the first verse he is basically saying people were made to be together. He didn't make male...he didn't make female...he made male and female (one entity). This had nothing to do with being implicit about marriage only being for male and female which you implied that he did. He was answering a question about a man being able to divorce his wife. So once again, no he didn't.

Greg Oden is a freak of nature. HE got better times in the sprints than Oden? With 7.8 percent body fat? And a higher vertical leap? He is 7 fucking feet tall. That is just freakish. But I am with Cena here, I would take Durant and his non 185 benching ass over a guy that can throw it up 20 times and not make a basket.

No he didn't. And you know, homosexuality seems to be the only thing when it comes to Jesus when you have to draw the line.

If they win this championship or not, there is no reason to believe that this will be there last one. They have all their major pieces locked up, and the other pieces are pretty much interchangeable.

But the Xbox's are having a pretty decent fail rate. The fact that they are in a resonably unchallenged niche (mid priced gaming) is the reason they aren't addressing it. Electronics in general are going to have a fail rate, but there is no way that these things aren't over 20% and 20% is unnacceptable.

But you don't see how its kinda a reach for you to use passages where god says, "don't do anything, i will handle it" and equate that to the bible saying to kill people that disagrees with you? Removing all infering from both sides, it doesn't say anything like that. And yes he did support the old prophets, but also pointed out where they were either wrong, or their beliefs were no longer valid. Thats what got Christ in trouble so much, going against the old ways. Old testement said stone the adulterous woman. Christ said, "Dude....not cool." Parts of the Old testemant were still validated and other were invalidated. Its not a contradiction. you still should steal kill or commit adultry. But that whole killing your best sheep and giving it as a blood sacrifce for gods approval...not so much.
