well, the Shutting down Iverson in the finals was right there with it in the stupidity.

Scalabrini is the mutha fucking man. Thats all I got.

So what you are saying is that you don't want him to post anymore? I'm sorry I just couldn't follow you there.

That had nothing to do with it. you really are going to have to get over this "funnel" to the big man thing because that has NEVER worked in the history of organized basketball. thats not what happened. Payton kept contact on parker(or bryant kept on him) ie: they handchecked him. Don't get me wrong...i am ALL for handchecking if you let it go on both sides(which they did) but handcheck slows him down some. So basically, the underneath d had more time to rotate over more than before. A good aggresive game. What did the Lakers do? The FINALLy stopped being so hard ass and played a zone d and it helped stopp the penetration. IF parker could get by one agressive defender, he had a second layer...if he got by that, Shaq was the third. THAT was defense and THAT is why the Lakers won. That and the Spurs couldn't buy a open shot. Now, here is the biggie. if the next game opens and the Spurs come out and try to play aggresive and the refs call it close, I might have to call bullshit. Last nights officiating was a complete 180 from what they had been calling(and I liked it honestly...PLAYOFF BASKETBALL) but they need to stick with it. When the spurs get aggresive, it turns to game one against Memphis...they can do it, they just weren't ready for it. I said Spurs in 5 and I still say Spurs in 5. But the series just got interesting and I am still celebrating the return of the Hand check...if only for one game.

Um...lets see. Nas- Illmatic Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt Notorius B.I.G. - Life After Death Alanis Morrisette- Jagged Little Pill Stained - Tormented Lauryn Hill - The Misseducation of Lauryn Hill Prince - Sign O the Times Royce Da 5'9 - Death is Certain thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

Lost in Translation & Matchstick Men...2 for 20 at Blockbuster

they were both pg-13 movies. That ain't old school eddie. The last few "EDDIE" movies would be Life and Bowfinger, and both are good movies. Not great, but better than Pluto fucking Nash.

human toilet...noone uses the bathrooms at bus stations.

That little back and forth made me feel like I was like 40 and was sitting in on a middle school english class or something. Damn guys, stop making me feel so old.

Maya Rudolph gets bashed way too much. She gets put in sketches with HORRIBLE writing and the fact that she pulls a chuckle out of the audience with the CRAP she is working with is amazing. And I don't care what anyone says, her character on the Apalcian(sp) emergency room with the deep voice makes me laugh every time. I don't get why Bob gives Fey the love fest when she is probably the one writing the crap that Maya has to try and make funny. I think she is a very funny woman.

I can think of multiple moments in my life that were kickass and would have been ungodly levels of kick ass if there was a soundtrack behind it. Basically you could make a accurate depitction of my life into a movie and it would kick all types of ass. Guns, explosions, tourture escape, sex with women WAY to hot for me, self sacrificial, heroic moments, going into suicidal situations to help someone, explosive speaches that inspired all of my numerous followers, which was preceded by this leading man smirk on my face, standing with coats flying in the wind in dramatic fashion... Damn..I kick ass. The funny thing is...some of that is actually true...

A whole thread that revolves around your stupidity for trying to laud your imaginary high over us in a blatant attempt to get us to like you, and you can seriously find the room to make fun of someone else? I'd rather talk to BBCW than you any day of the week, you prick. And I'm very glad that you took QT out of your avatar, as that caused a good deal of inapprorpriate rage over on this end. You're too young and far too childish to enjoy the sheer brilliance of a Tarantino film. Stay the fuck out of HD. I don't really give a flying fuck what you've got to say, asshole - someone that flames for no personal reason like that (also jumping on a bandwagon) is the one's that unable to appreciate Quentin Tarantino's cinematic genius - go and eat a dick in hell. And MO1M, your insult makes sense, it's just stupid - if you're going to go for the nationality insults, at least make them credible. And about the stonage... It was the first time since seriously starting here, a few months back - the idea sprung into my head. What in the mutherfucking fuck is that?

this is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have read in weeks.

So...how do you stop Toni Parker? Foul him when he comes in the lane and the refs not call it. How do you stop Tim Duncan? Foul him when he touches the ball and not call it. Now before someone jumps on me, yes it was a very consitantly called game. No team got the advantage in the calls..kinda. But that "let them play" bullshit that was out there favored the Lakers greatly. One team has a smaller point guard that is blowing by slower defenders, eating apart the oppositions defense while the other team plays a slow grind it out offense that consist of alot of post ups. Who gets the advantage when the refs lift the hand checking rule(I have to admit, I kinda marked when I saw that they weren't calling it.)? The Spurs have to hope that the game gets called by the rules or change their whole approach. If they are going back to the Let them Play philosophy in game 4, then you are going to have to bring in Malik Rose more, stay in that full court pressure, and make the Lakers pay the way that they made the Spurs pay in this style. Just to make sure there is no confusion...i am not saying that the lakers "cheated" their way to a win or the refs gave them a game. They called a very consistant game, it just seemed to catch San Antonio off guard. If they are going to allow Parker to get bumped and pummeled like that they are going to have to start running him off screens to wear down the Laker guards( I do like how Brown and Parker saw how the game was being called and played defense with the same type of physicallity though..) It will be interesting to see what adjustments come about now. If the Spurs could have hit one or two of those 1000 threes in the 4th, it could have gotten interesting.

oh whatever. Its called maturing. Can't call a guy a sell out because he chose to do more family friendly stuff. He changed, and the money didn't make him do it because I am sure he and everyone else knows that he would get the big bucks to go back to old Eddie Murphy in a second.

So if a suicide bomber does alot of good things before he bombs the shit out of something, You take the good over the bad? What kind of ignorant dribble is this? America's slave trade and civil rights abuse of those people is OKAY because Africa still does it? Japanese Americans, the whole treating you like criminals and imprisoning you unjustly thing doesn't really matter. We helped your economy...geez. Are you saying that if Germany helped Isral they would be in the clear for the whole Holocaust thing in your eyes? Fuck, the Taliban fed SOME hungry people, but fuck those guys. I don't care. You can't on one hand mock Germany for critisizing mistreatment of POWs because of what they did in WWII and turn around and say "But America is cool for all it did during that era and afterwards because we helped some people."

And Africans, and Philipinos, and Japanese,.... Care to list what Americans have done to Africans --- um...the slave trade? Funny, we stopped that --- but Africans CONTINUE it. Isn't that bizarre? -=Mike ...Remember, the Baltimore Sun bought a few slaves back in the 1990's to give them their freedom. So your point is that if anyone else does something, its all cool? Damn dude, when you keep adding the most asinine points in the history of the world up there, how do you expect anyone to take your valid points seriously?

And Africans, and Philipinos, and Japanese,.... Care to list what Americans have done to Africans --- save feed them and help them deal with AIDS? And the Japanese? Only gave them a stable democracy and helped them become economic superpowers. The Filipinos? Only helped them get a rather stable democracy. Yup, we're quite the bastards. -=Mike You have got to be fucking kidding me. Okay, its one thing to try and support your point, but come on, even you can't believe that bullshit you just typed.

why!! He was the guy to take them over the top...not a guy that consistantly got them into the second round of the playoffs with a VERY injured squad, posted better records, and was respected by all his players like that HACK Paul Silas was.

Patrick Ewing IS the New York Knicks. I know some older chaps will say a Willis Reed or a Walt Fraizer, but Ewing=Knicks.

#1 --- Apologies NEVER fix the problem. They simply pour fuel on the fire. Shockingly enough, our European "friends" wants MORE apologies (Le Monde is QUITE forgiving, only implying that torturing criminals is part of the American culture anyway). German papers assume that we had to spend A LOT of time planning up these photos because it takes Islamic experts to figure out the most humiliating things to do to prisoners. Yes, keep the irony in mind --- GERMANY is CRITICIZING people over treatment of criminals. A quote from the Daily Telegraph: "How would we feel if Britain had been overwhelmed by a vastly superior army, and we then saw pictures of our relatives stripped naked and tortured by smirking jezebels from the Appalachians?" #2 --- We never ask for apologies. Are we demanding ANYBODY apologize for the US hostage taken yesterday? Did we demand Vietnam apologize for their brutality towards OUR POW's? I say we embarrass the living crap out of all of them. Show them what happens if they fight. You might have a woman point and laugh at you. Oooh --- SUCH BARBARISM! -=Mike are you suggesting that the best course of action was to say "Yeah, they were torutured, fuck it." and thats it? What exactly are you saying was supposed to be done here. Nothing just because that doesn't stop people from disliking you? I'm not following you here.

send me money.

Hippe.

Don't blame me for this shit.

Because Terry deployed the save your energy for offense plan. He just threw Jason terry, Chris Crawford, Stephen Jackson, and Bobby Surra out there sprinting on offense and putting up 120 a game and they saved their energy on defense. those 130-136 games might bave made defense fans cringe, but I enjoyed them.
