Dangerous A

I remember a commercial during the Bulls second 3 peat run where they even mentioned MJ taking x amount of game winning shots and failing. Guys like MJ and Kobe have earned their respect as clutch players no doubt, but no one ever remembers the games where they took the last shot, one on one, and still missed. People only remember the winning shots. Again, LeBron is 21 years old. Once he starts hitting those game winners, everyone will forget about this stretch as well. Well, everyone except naiwf.

He's 21. He has attempted to take the last shot before. He did vs the Lakers this year in LA and came up short. Give him a chance. Kobe and T-Mac weren't taking and hitting game winners early on either. They had the luxury of being on good teams and weren't being called upon to be the #1 option from the start of their careers. LeBron will be there. Trust me.

Ouch. That could get ugly (for the Sonics). Enjoy the catering though. Most friends I know who watched games in luxury suites (for Sac Kings games) only got into the game if it was close. The rest of the time they were enjoying all the cool shit that comes with the suite.

What game are you attending?

I also want lots of pizza with a lot of different toppings.

Anyone watching Mavs/Spurs tonight? Pretty big game for both teams.

I heard Ki is on hold because they made him an offer and the first thing he did was ask for more money. TNA felt he should be grateful for the second chance instead of being a hard ass businessman. He should've done what Joe did and taken the deal given him and say after x amount of months, he'd prove himself worthy of being worth more money and renegotiate with leverage.

I can't be in. Czech fuckin adores me. As does everyone else who posts in TSM.

The Redskins are ready for no CBA (or at least fronting like they are) ....

Atlas going in isn't so much a slap in the face of Rocky Johnson so much as a slap in the face of the institution being called a Hall of Fame. When you put in guys like Atlas, the HOF starts to descend into Hall of Mediocre acts no one remembers. The most memorable things I can think of when the name Tony Atlas comes up are 1) How pathetic he looked during the MTV True Life documentary and 2) Saba Simba. The less said about that disaster of a gimmick, the better.

NJPW business IS in the toilet right now, but Lesnar is getting guaranteed money in the high six figures from New Japan plus a way lighter schedule.

Oh, cowboys fan. Got it. For a second, I thought you'd give rational arguments. Carry on then.

The Washington Redskins in particular are going to be gutted over this. I am loving the reports that they might have to run 20 rookies out there next year. As am I. The Redskins deserve it! How do they deserve it?

Spirit Squad is a mildly entertaining low/mid card act. Not being polished with the cheers and in sync can actually be used as an out for guys they want to break away from the gimmick to give a push to. You could tease that so and so is getting sloppy and lazy with the cheers and do subtle teases of dissension. Then you break away whoever at the right moment and immediately you have a babyface in a feud with 4 other guys.

Shawn Marion has been balling out of his mind since the All Star Break. He has absolutely taken his game to another level, specifically on the glass.

Arroyo got a huge head when he lead Team Puerto Rico over Team USA last year. Clips are a fun team. With more PT, Livingston is going to be the shiznit.

I'd be more concerned with his unprofessional behavior. The guy is a loose cannon. Throw in that he isn't much of a worker any more and I don't see why he should be there. About signing Jericho, that's only going to happen if and when Jericho wants to get back into wrestling and I'm banking he'll be playing WWE against TNA for the most money. From all reports recently, he has no desire to come back now and is perfectly content not doing wrestling.

Bowen's kind of old, isn't he? I could swear he is close to mid-thirties. There are other guys on the invited list that could lock people up just as good as Bowen could if not better and since you don't need all 5 guys on the floor to be #1 options in scoring, you have so and so become the stopper. I'm pretty confident a guy like Kobe or Wade would lock someone up if they were told their primary function was to lock a particular person up and not worry about offense.

I was wrong. It should be this week in the Lakers/Knicks thread.

When he was younger, he had a rep of being a total asshole and real prick in the lockeroom. He still has a little of that in him today, but he has been humbled the last 3-4 years since he's accepted he's a role player now and not a #1-3 scoring option.

I go to several places that have boba or tapioca balls or whatever their called. Personally, I like milk tea or thai iced tea best when having boba. Iced white mocha does ok, depending on how the mocha turned out.

Dinsmore can be rehabbed, but it would take a lot of work. A fuckin lot. I think Eugene would have to completely disappear and when Dinsmore or whatever incarnation they have for him comes back it'd have to be something completely different both in how he looks and how he is presented. I wouldn't give any storyline explanation and would pretend Eugene never existed and that this is a completely new person who you've never heard of. If there were any storyline explanation or association with the Eugene character, it just wouldn't work IMO.

*ahem* *ahem* is right. Except it's me. Bitches. Except Zack. He's BI alum, y'know.

Like you wouldn't believe. Give me about 5 minutes in a house with a domesticated cat and I'll have a runny nose and itchy hives all over my face.

No. Only full grown cats can take me down.
