    2008 NBA Draft

    riiiiiiight I am not sure if this is complimenting going on here or not. Greg Ostertag was one fuck of a post defender. Well...thats pretty much all was, but he was good at it.

    School me on the ATL

    That's not just an Atlanta thing, those nasty little fuckers are all over the southeast. Horrible little devils, they're small enough that they're easy to miss, but their bites are poisonous enough that they can really fuck you up, especially if you don't notice it early enough. Ditto about the traffic. Admittedly I've never driven in NY or LA, but I've been around about half of this country, and Atlanta traffic is one of the more nightmarish experiences I've ever seen. My brother once described it perfectly: "There's eight lanes of traffic, bumper to bumper, going eighty miles an hour, and the car behind me is honking at me to go faster, and it's a cop." That pretty much nails it for rush hour, which can be defined as any time the sun is up. At night and on the weekend it's a bit easier, but still has way more volume than any other city I've seen at those times. There is no freakin way you get close to 40 when our traffic kicks in. Maybe he means on the weekend. We have the "sit there" traffic. And rush hour is from around 7-9 then 4-7 in the evening. After that, its pretty much a cakewalk to get anywhere around here. Nights and weekends here are no worse than some small towns I have been in. With alot of lane changes there is no need for you to ever slow down at night.

    That TJ Ford guy is pretty good. i don't think giving up Ford, effective Rasho and a first round pick to get a guy is stealing him.

    The NBA Offseason Thread

    Simple. I don't think Washington or Toronto are going to be good teams next year. I think losing Anthony Parker and that gaping hole at the 2 position is going to hurt Toronto. I am not so convienced that Washington will be much better, Arenas or not. They are about where I expected them to be anyway. And I have to see what Detroit ends up with before I start handing them a top spot. Outside of Orlando and Boston, there is nothing really known about the rest of the East in my eyes. Even if Detroit is there, I don't see Miami out of the top five.

    2008 NBA Draft

    Eh. Beas doesn't have any real character issues. They are just fucking with that guy. Mayo is a scorer. he is going to be a fantastic scorer. But he would be a Brandon Roy clone with better defense. I gotta ask you though, becuase even though I know you are a blazers fan and all, but your confidence in Sergio makes me wonder. Have you seen that guy play? I mean, he has flashes, but when he is bad...he is "EW!! How did you even make a highschool team" bad.

    Dwayne Wade/Shawn marion/probably OJ Mayo. they are also probably going ot angle to get Odom or Brand though. Really, they can put anything that can catch the ball down there and will be okay. And I didn't say contending. I said they would be one of the upper seeds in the East. then lose horribly in the playoffs.

    SPIDER-MAN 4

    Fuck that cast. Honestly. The biggest things wrong with Spiderman 3 was Toby phoning it in, Dunst sucking and Rami not wanting to add venom and the studio making him do it. It was rushed and had too much going on basically, just like I figured it would. If there had been one villan, then it would have been better. Spiderman 1-2 were fucking awesome and the series can still be awesome. The funny thing to me is Toby and Dunst pretending they had something resembling a successful career before this movie(aka playing in alot of shit isn't the same as having a succesful career). So they can go back to being accessories in good movies and stars in shitty movies while someone that actually wants the roles can take them. Too bad they blew their load on Bryce Howard. She would have been a fine replacement for MJ. I don't care who they get for peter. It can be a no name. But this is too good of a franchise to toss to the side because 2 stars seem to think its time to move on.

    Oh Atlanta is cool. Here is the thing...move near your job. no more than one or two exits. If you find out where you would be located, let me know and I can tell you what areas to look for. that way you avoid the worse part about living here. The traffic. Also, if you want to get more value for your money, you can always just live in the right direction. Like you want to go East in the mornings, West in the afternoons. North in the mornings, south in the after noons. Go the other way and you are in parking lot city. The weekends are fine, and there is really never any traffic. You can get where ever you want easily. The nightlife, bars, strip clubs, night clubs are all great here. And there is always something going on. Just grab a creative loafing and plan your weekend. The people range from awesome to straight assholes. But I guess that is everywhere. Hell, Philips is laying me off and I have no plans on moving because I love this place. 100% awesome. And...um...if you guys are hiring...

    I would package the 13, 27 and Outlaw if I could get Beasly honestly. Blake Roy Beasley Aldridge Oden Jesus dude.

    I think Mayo will be the top prospect out of this draft honestly.

    So I am the only one that realizes that they will be one of the top teams in the East next year?

    It would be pretty funny if Shaq didn't single handedly cost Phoenix 3 games in the first round. Maybe he should stop freestyling and go work on the underhand freethrows. fucking asshole.

    2008 NBA Draft

    No its not. Wilcox is a poor mans Udonis Haslim. He is a better rebounder, defender, and can hit that mid range jumper with consistancy thus being a better scoring threat. Wilcox will occasionally rebound for you and can occasionally dunk a putback or something. So basically the heat would be trading to pick up a guy they could pick up anyway. I mean, yeah, you want to get rid of mark Blount because he is Mark Blount, but there has to be something better to be had than that for the number 2 pick in in the draft.

    Parker could have pulled more than a 3 year, 10 million deal here in the US. Most teams would have killed to have him at 4 mill a year. Edit: Just reread that and saw it was 10 million PER year. So um...nevermind. Goddamn.

    I am thinking edge gets moved. I mean, they have like NO heels on Raw except Jerhico.

    2008 NBA Draft

    Just saw this. He was injured his rookie year but was obviously their pointguard of the future. This year, Conley was the guy as they felt he was too good to pass on, but I still think Lowery is the better player. Kyle is Rajon Rondo with a slightly better jumpshot. He is a MONSTER defensively that is going to be a lock down guy at the PG position. Strong enough to stop the bigger guys, quick enough to stop the speed guys. Offensively, he can get where he wants to on the court off the dribble, is a good passer, but he has had trouble finishing at the rim. He needs to develop a floater and he is going to be a beast. His jumpshot is a work in progress, but he does have that range. He really is a good player that should be backing up the Suns at the point right now, but they traded away the chance at him. For considerations of a second round pick from Boston.

    Well, if they want to go over seas. But there is like no chance in the history of hell that they are going to get drafted. So they came out. As Juniors.

    Box Office Report...

    Jeepers Creepers almost made me walk out, but someone else paid and it would have been rude. Oh, and Belly. But my girlfriend at the time was enjoying it, So I had to stay. OH, and Three Strikes (with Brian Hooks). I don't know how I ended up going to that piece of shit.

    OMG Terminator 4 is definetly going ahead

    How did you NOT notice it was PG-13? I watched about 20 minutes of the theater version and decided to just wait till the uncut dvd came out to buy it and that one just felt...right.

    So...anyone have any idea what the fuck Kojo Mensah and Shawn James are thinking? Like seriously. That said, Shawn James is going to be one nice free agent pickup or late second rounder. that kid can just flat out block shots.

    OMG Terminator 4 is definetly going ahead

    T-2 basically got a R for a couple of shots. Watch the movie and you would be hard pressed to find the R rating. A few fucks and a quick boob shot in metal at the end and you have a R Rating. the rest of it could have pulled a PG-13. Its not a series that needs gore or language to make it a good movie(like, say that bastardized version of Live Free Die Hard that went to the theaters over the awesome real version). And you...I wills say it now.... There was nothing fucking wrong with Charlies Angels (okay the second one sucked). The first one was good for what it was. I don't get the bitching.
