Anyone else check out the 12 minute prequel to season 5 that came with the season 4 dvd set?

Hawks just win a hell of a game against Philly. So yeah, i guess I was right. That win against San Antonio was the one that taught them how to play. And you know that block that Prince had on Reggie Miller and how incredible of a defensive play that was? Josh Smith gets about 2 of those spectacular defesnsive plays that come at the best time possible a game. I mean, his line tonight, 8 points, 7 boards, 4 blocks might not look that impressive, but they were 4 of the biggest blocks ever seen. To me he is hands down the most impressive shot blocker in the league.

What has Mel done thats crazy. People confuse south park for real life too much. Now Tom Cruise....

To be fair, he never hit the jumping asshole guy. He grabbed him and kept screaming was it you to him. I said it before and I say it again, Ron Artest should have probably been suspended the entire year(I still don't think Stephen Jackson or Jermaine Oneil should have been suspended). BUT, it is very VERY understandable what Artest did. For all the "Oh my god, this should never have ever happened" crap, Barkley spit in the stands at a guy for talking, Jerry Sloan went in the stands after a guy once as a player and once as a coach. Why? Because they saw who did the shit. Ron Artest got hit with a cup and looked up, little wuss guy is staring him in the eyes and starts dancing like he threw the cup. Its like Brian Cox said. If he SAW who was throwing the batteries at him in Buffalo, he would have went in the stands and beat the shit out of them too. These guys are human and they are going to have human reactions. And if you walk into somewhere and someone throws a cup a beer in your face, fuck all this what you would do crap, you would get pissed, you would react in a way that a pissed person does and looking back it won't be the smartest thing. Magic opened himself up to critisizm. I think the guy is the greatest to ever play the game, but seriously, if you say a guy should be kicked out the league, expect him to say something back. And while ron did make a mean spirited point, he does have one. Don't you have to take a blood test to get a marrige liscence? I am thinking so and if so, Magic caught it while sleeping around. No one has presented to me why Ron Artest should be kicked out of the league as long as there are teams that are interested in him. Sure, that gave the NBA a black eye, Kobe raping people and being praised for how much of a great incredible man he was by being able to play well after coming in from his RAPE TRIAL was a bigger black eye. Phil Jackson, and Isaiah Thomas's past blatant racist comments made big black eyes. Allen Houston and Charlie Ward being anti semetic was a black eye. Shaq trying to kill Brad Miller when he was a Laker was a black eye. Karl Malone nearly killing 5-6 guys was a black eye. But noone said these guys should be out the league(hell some of these were completely ignored). Artest is just as bad and somewhat worse than these guys incidents, but still, nothing that warrents kicking the guy out the league, and if you make a statement that strong, you should expect backlash from the person.

The Kobe Joke, the Lumbergh, the Black doctor, and Jaws 5 all made me laugh within the first 10 minutes.

If I was Kyle Orton I would be pissed. Rex Grossman came in the game and they started calling all these 1 step drop passes that seriously, anyone would complete with the falcons corners playing 15 yards off. Poor Kyle didn't get any of those calls. As for the game last night, I said it when the Falcons beat the Dolphins and Vick became pocket passer Vick. That is not how this offense is going to score and they needed to stop that shit. A combination of Jim Mora and Greg Knapp are to blame for this. When Vick came along complaining about the amount of critisizm he took by stupid people for the past couple of years and them not calling him a QB, they should have just said that we are winning and this is how we are going to play. When the Falcons run the stretch play with Vick on a naked boot to the other side with a pulling TE, they are almost unstoppable because you have to account for the running back, vick running and the TE. Instead they are running a traditional offense now and it is useless. The best offensive plays Vick had last night was with his feet. But he refused to tuck and go after that because he is still trying to show he is a pocket QB. Thats like Dirk saying he won't take jumpshots anymore because he was to be a more convential 7 foot guy in the NBA. You use what makes you unique and the ability to run a 4.3 at the QB postition is what does it. Now the Falcons have to win out and get some help to get in the playoffs, and they have two very tough games coming up. Mr. Pass for 250 per game Vick had better sit the fuck down and let Mr. Pass for 150 and rush for 70 vick show up so this team can win and let the dumbasses talk.

Hawks win again, to make it 4 out of 5.

I tried to listen to it, and I really didn't see the appeal. I don't know what constitutes a classic rap album, though. I can't tell good production from bad production. I can tell that Kanye West isn't the best rapper, and he seems to say UNH! a lot. As I mentioned, even the reviews that are glowing make note of the fact that he's in over his head. It feels like he was deemed The Next Big Thing In Rap because somebody had to be. Just explain to me why this deserves its praise. For the great production and the great production alone. Kanye pretty much sucks as a rapper and I think that everyone knows it. For every good line he delievers, you have to listen to 100 crappy ones. But the guy can get behind the boards and deliever some great music and thats what he did here. If ou don't "get" good production in rap music, then you won't see that appeal because that is its only appeal. Songs like Roses, Gone, On my way Home, hell, even Goldigger are all songs that people can't wait till Kanye stops rapping so they can hear the music in the background or the other people with actual talent on the song.

So I have been waiting to see if it would actually last and if It wasn't just a mirage, but I am going to say it now. Despite that really REALLY REALLY bad start, I don't think you will see this Hawk team lose 5-6 games in a row anymore. The rotation is down, they have the right guys coming off the bench, they have realized that a screen in role with Harrington and Johnson isn't a bad thing, and I expect them to win quite a few more games. Just sayin....the knicks losing to the Hawks wasn't that bad of a thing. And Marbury and Crawford were the only two guys that played worth a damn. They just need to have guys that are better at something. Either you are a great defender or a great scorer, but if you aren't either one, then why the fuck are you on the court.

I made this as the subject for my computer animation porfolio in 1999. Kid acts retarded, loses in all the events. Then says that he did it to help their self esteem. You don't hear me bitching. Almost everyone has thought of that.

Especially if you count Tony Parker twice!! Although I did forget about Iverson who would knock him out of the top 5. And before someone jumps on me for what I said about Gilbert and putting iverson in the top 5, I suggest you watch a wizards game and a philly game and you can see which one really plays the point.

No way Gilbert Arenas is above Marbury as a PLAYMAKER at the POINT GUARD position. he can outscore anyone on that list but as a point guard: Nash Kidd Davis Billups Marbury Ford(who honestly, I really want to put higher) Arenas Williams Parker then a bunch of other guys. Definately top five in my eyes. edit: I am assuming you aren't counting this years mike bibby?

I have to agree with Marbury. That guy gets run down for now good reason in my eyes. Bottomline, I have never seen Marbury that underachieved. That Timberwolves team shouldn't have gotten out the first round because they weren't good enough. The Suns team that made the playoffs was good, but the next year they traded too many players and Amare missed most of the year. The New Jersey teams?...please. None of them had any business sniffing the playoffs, and this new york team, they have finished right about where they should be expected to finish with the guys they have. People might not like it, but the guy is putting up near HOF numbers for his career (21+ points a game and 8+ assist...nothing to sneeze at), and is simply a good player. He happens to be a guy that keeps ending up in situations where he HAS to score instead of set up guys. Who the fuck was he going to set up on all those other teams? And Kurt Thomas got off to a tough start, but he is doing anything but stinking up the joint in Phoenix. They brought him in for rebounding and defense and once he got aclimated to the pace, he has been doing just that.

Suns lost to NO, but I think they are the team that will continue to get these suprising wins out of nowhere against teams they shouldn't beat. They are very athletic and talented so I wasn't shocked. Artest wants to get traded. New York needs a SF. Indiana needs more consistant point guard play. Artest....Marbury. I wouldn't be suprised if it happend. I know everyone says that Marbury isn't a winner or what the fuck ever, but I dare anyone to point to a team that Marbury was on that should have won a playoff series. One team....just one.

he is definately the best I have ever heard. I can't say best ever because I haven't been around forever, but number one in my book.

Best Hip Hop album SHOULD be a two album race between Be and The Minstrel Show but Little Brother gets screwed.

Personally, I think there are a few good tracks on the first two albums and the third one represented everything that he COULD be as a artist if it weren't for the fact that gimmicky, "funny", randomly dissing celebrities for no reason wasn't selling more albums for him. He was able to be what he really is on The Eminem Show. A incredibly gifted lyrical guy, with a incredible flow. He dropped the gimmicky subject matter that was all over his first two big label albums and returned to something more like the Infinate where he was enjoying the wordplay. I still can't figure out why more people don't like Encore, because honestly that and his second album sound the same to me. "Shock Rap" Eminem has never been entertaining to me. The Eminem Show was simply a very strong hip-hop album and I think it will have alot more longevity than the other two with those who are really hardcore fans of hip-hop.

I have to question all this Murdoch is in shape crap in here. Now maybe we are watching different matches, but dude seems to be incredibly blown within 5-8 minutes of in the ring. He doesn't appear to be in shape to me because he doesn't appear to have the stamina. And two, "get used to this body type because of the no steroid policy". What the hell is wrong with you people. Your average person, if they work out only 3 times a week and eat the right stuff is going to have a better looking body than that. That is not normal guy body if he is working out. That is "I sit around and do nothing" body. Now I am not saying Murdoch isn't in better shape than the average guy, but his body is certainly not one of a person with a even moderate workout routine.

Suns finally had a bad game last night. Luckily it was against the Knicks so they could still win. They have the Clippers on the backend of a back to back. Not thrilled about that, but I don't think Cassell can keep up with Nash and this offense, Marion/Maggette is always a fun matchup, and I expect a big game out of Kaman. But I still think they suns should take them.

Emancipation of Mimi is the best of those albums. That is a damn good R&b album. Kanye comes in second. But yeah, there had to be better albums than that this year.

Except that his third album is his best one.

"There have been many students graduated from that school who have made wonderful contributions to their fellow man -- in science, health, theater. Where are their statues?" Conte asked. "I think we're saying we value you if you can make a lot of money, and that troubles me." I hate these type of fucking people. And the suns have been tearing it up lately. And as for Elton Brand he is playing out his mind, true, but has anyone been paying attention to Shawn Marion. Dude is having one heck of a year right now.

Are you suggesting that a drive-by isn't pussy? Anyway, Jay is a business man...a very rich business man. Thus, his lawyers will eat DDP's lawyers alive.

College Hoops 2k6 is probably the best of the new crop. It has a few little things that I like about it more than the NBA game. College Hoops 2k5 would be tops alltime for me if it weren't for the bugs. 2k6 will probably take that title soon though. Plus...Live 95 on Genisis. Still have never lost a game in history.

Carolina is getting screwed with two REALLY bad calls so far. Goddamn. And I am a Atlanta fan but that is just piss poor officiating.
