    NBA Playoffs

    Nash is more talented than the current dallas point guards. Amare is more talented than Dampier and can create his own shot just fine. He has a huge number of low post moves is a damn fine ball handler for a big man and uses his quickness to blow by other big men. He has a accurate jumper out to 15 feet and uses it constantly. Marion also is quick as hell and has proved for years that he can get to the basket and create his own shot at will. What makes the Suns work this year is that they don't HAVE to create their own shots. Nash sets them up. But nash only averages 11 assist agame. They are hitting 40-50 field goals. How else are they getting their points. Marion is one of the best scorers, rebounders, steal men, shot blockers in the league. He shoot a better percentage, he is abetter defender...what exactly is Jerry Stackhouse remotely better at than Marion. There is a reason that Marion is a Allstar. He was an Allstar last year. He Should have been a few years before that. Outside of Dirk, noone on Dallas roster is on Shawn Marion's or Amare Stoudimire's level. No one. Now you are showing that you have never watched the Suns play because this is laughable. First of all Quentein Richardson is the worst shooter on the team. Absolutely worse. Amare Stoudimire scores alot of his points from his 15 foot jumper that he hits at over 50%. Shawn Marion is a better three point shooter that Richardson and scores most of his field goals from his midrange shot. Joe Johnson is the best shooter on the team, and he, by the way, is better than Jerry Stackhouse and up there with Michael Finley seeing as the guy legititmately plays 3 positions. Like I have said, Phoenix has no bench. They gave it away for Jim Jackson. But every member of their starting five is better than every member of Dallas starting five minus Dirk. Oh, and Q isn't better than Finley. But Phoenix won 60+ games this year with their starting five all averaging over 40 minutes agame. THIS is the starting five that won those 60+ games. And its not because of layups and dunks, its because they are all ridiculously skilled players.

    I can't believe it.

    Maybe someone should talk about Mike again so Ill can throw another tantrum then he will be the last to post in the thread(because it would be, you know, locked) then he would lose survivor. Irony...sweet sweet irony.

    Political or "conscious" hip-hop

    Talk to the Majority of hip hop buyers and they will stare at you blankly if you mention KRS-One. He isn't mainstream.

    And Nash scorched Armstrong too. Noone has had any luck at stopping nash, at least Terry makes him pay on the other end. Suns win last night with pretty great performance from 4 out of the 5 starters. Barbosa and Q were non existant and the rest of the team were the cheerleaders they usually were. I think guys like Jake Voskal, and Bo Outlaw are going to be useful against the Spurs(if that ends up being the matchup. not counting Seattle or Dallas out) but for now, they are just useless and the team is 6 deep and still beating a very good Dallas team.

    NBA Playoffs

    Dwayne Wade has lived off of getting in the lane and hitting high percentage shots, just like the rest of the team. Detroit doesn't give up that many high percentage shots at the basket. Hell, even last year, all of shaqs shots were heavyly contested. He was just man handling the front line. Eddie Jones would have to cover Prince, simply because there is noone else to do it. He would DESTROY wade or jones on the block and fly by haslim at will. That leaves jones or wade to cover Hamilton, and I am sure you don't want Wade chasing Hamilton all day and Jones has one good leg. The mismatch will be in the backcourt people. The heat can't Matchup with Billups/Prince/Hamilton. One of those three are going to dominate. Wade will be able to score, but not as easily as he has the first two rounds with NO inside presence. The shot blockers at the rim will be able to do some damage. Chauncy Billups not a defender? HA!!!! HAAHAHAHAHA,. The all defensive second team player that was one first team vote away from taking Larry Hughes spot is a iffy defender? Not saying he is going to shut Wade down, because I am pretty sure that he is unstoppable, but Billups will be the best defender to lineup against Wade in these playoffs(if they play the Pistons) This will be one HELL of a evenly matched series. I think Detroit will take it, but it is alot more even than people pretend it is.

    Political or "conscious" hip-hop

    They are plenty around. Sales do not dictate what is big in a genre. It dictates what is going to be on the radio. Women and white people are the biggest buyers of hip hop, and it is usually the ones that have the most commercial song possible. That doesn't mean that hip hop doesnt' still exist. Its just means that something else got more exposure. And honestly, Public Enemy and KRS-One never sold half what NWA, and Hammer did. This isn't a new trend, with the most commercial stuff selling more. There is just as much cerebrial rap now as there was in the 80's if you don't watch MTV and get to music store. And dude, seriously. Slimm Thugg is about 1000000000000000 times the rapper Lil Flip is and I don't even like Slimm Thugg. Hell, I would listen to Paul Wall all day before I listened to flip. And those guys aren't the H-town music. Bun B(the MUTHA FUCKING MAN) and Scarface(or Getto Boyz in general) are always what houston is all about. And chopped and screwed R&B kicks as. OG Ron C makes some banging ass fuck action cds.

    NBA Playoffs

    60+ wins? I doubt it. Not because it would be hard to duplicate, but they were able to get through this season relatively injury free. Nash missed like 5 games and so did Amare and Q missed a few in the end but mostly they were injury free for the entire season. That is not going to happen two years in teh row in the NBA.

    That was just goddamned pathetic. And not the slayer joke...the reason he had a chance to make it.

    Family Guy for 5/8/05

    I think it was. The thing that made me laugh out loud was the two coworkers realizing that stan had forgotten his anniversary again and the patrick stewart guy telling the other guy not to say anything.

    Family Guy for 5/8/05

    I found it funny that Jesus drove a Escalade. And finally someone said something about Bonnie and the baby. Stewie kicking the chair in front of peter had me laughing too. "I wasn't gonna do it...I wasn't gonna do it...." And Peter living with superman...GOLD~!

    NBA Playoffs

    Amare in foul trouble killed the Suns tonight. That and like I said before, phoenix has the shallowist team in the playoffs. they are literally 6 deep, 5 deep now that Joe Johnson is gone. Getting anyone in foul trouble or injured is a very big deal and it is showing, despite that beatdown they gave Dallas on Friday. They still have a series ahead of them.

    Biggest OVERacheievers

    Hogan. He was a bald, bad promo giving, bad ring performer. If you really think about it, he didn't have the look since he started balding, was orange, and didn't really have the greatest of bodies in the sport at the time, he really gave shitty promos as he just kinda yelled alot, and he was pretty boring and paint by numbers in the ring. Even as a mark, you knew what was coming in a hogan match. Heels finisher, hogan kicks out and hulks up yadda yadda yadda wins match. Yet he is the most over wrestler in the recent history of the sport.

    Xbox 360 design officially revealed...

    Those images are obviously distorted. I mean they will look generally look like that, but you can see the background to see how screwed up the perspective is.

    The Canadian Destroyer

    Actuall an Irish whip makes a hell of alot of sense if you think terms of it. If someone throws you one direction your trying to stop right? Well as soon as you stop you hit the ropes which gives a bounce of momentum an you crash into the guy. Its just alot of young athletes today forget what the sports about, stop focusing on things like believable punches, psycology, and instead they start focusing on how to backflip....In this case Canadian destroyer. once again, the guy isn't doing a backflip. that is simple momentum of a 200+ lb guy doing a front flip while clutching on to you. All they have to do is stand up.

    Your favorite player that isn't a superstar

    Its when they get to the grind because they want to win and play REAL basketball is why I say he has the game. ONce you take out all the of rule breaking of the trick part, he is quite the ball hawk, a crisp passer and ball handler, and really makes his team mates better, plus the guy is a athlete.

    Most hard luck player on your favorite team

    Kevin Johnson and his injury rash starting with the 1993 season. Back injury from picking up charles barkely after a victory, the chicken pox, ankle, knee, just about everything. Richard Duma was a damn good player but a druggy, got kicked from the league, came back the size of a wrestler(I mean muscles bulgeing from everywhere) only to be too big to play his position and was out the league a few years later.

    E3 2005

    If they included a multiplayer I would buy "50 Cent: Bulletproof" just so I could shoot him alot.

    Players that lived up to the hype......

    People were calling it a horrible pick for Miami when they took him at number 5. Most mock drafts had him going at number 10 at the earliest and most saying he was a "probable" first round pick. I say that he didn't have nearly enough hype.

    Your favorite player that isn't a superstar

    The Professor from the And 1 Streetballers. That dude is the one guy I watch play and thinks that he should be in the real league.

    Dwayne Wade is in his second year and I say he makes the list of unhyped superstars.

    NBA Playoffs

    Or the guy that is averaging 25 points a game against dallas and their best perimeter defender and shooter fell on his face in the first half. I think that had something to do with it too.

    What players do you

    Well, I know why I don't like Kobe so that wouldn't apply here. But I really like Ray Lewis for no particular reason besides the Ray Lewis dance.
