  1. Are you kidding me?
  2. This is fun
  3. The Lakers don't run an offense
  4. These guys are even worse than New Orleans
  5. wat this is the only thing I've said w/r/t to the Heat/Bulls in the last few pages:
  6. How do you give up 106 points to Sacramento when one of your player has 10 blocks?
  7. I'm not worried about Rose's minutes but I don't really think it makes much sense to run him out there against teams we can beat the tar out of anyway when he has these nagging injuries. And the Heat aren't that great. I think people got scared of them in theory more than in practice because they figured they could add to the Big 3 and become invincible. But they're still weak where they were last year and Wade's a year older.
  8. "The Bulls are the first team in NBA history to win 3 straight games on the road (with no home games in between) by 20+ points."
  9. Neutrogena.
  10. What a mark ass buster Anything appearing in the urban dictionary is fair game, duh
  11. Durant's tweets are indecipherable gibberish so you can't even tell when he's clowning someone.
  12. Comparing the passer ratings across eras isn't the best way to do it because of how much the game has changed. Terry Bradshaw's 84.7 QB rating in 1978 doesn't look that good until you realize it was the second best in the league that year. Eli Manning's career high of 93.1 in 2009 looks great compared to that until you realize that it was only good enough for 11th in the league.Troy Aikman's 89.5 QB rating was the second-best in the league in 1992 but would have only been 11th this year. You have to compare Eli to the other QB's who are playing now. He's been top-10 in passer rating once (7th in 2011) and in completion percentage once (9th in 2010) while being top-7 in interceptions thrown five times in his seven seasons. He's been top-10 in TD's six times and passing yards four times in seven years but he's also throwing a ton of passes (top-10 five times). Unless you're completely terrible (which no one would argue Eli is) throwing a lot of passes is going to turn into a lot of completions and touchdowns. Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Romo and Stafford were all clearly better than Eli this year. Roethlisberger and Rivers were slightly worse this year but have been far better over the past five years. Schaub was on his way to having a better year before getting hurt and he's also been better in the past (four straight 92+ QB rating years). And if we're looking at the past few years, we have to include Peyton in there also as being better. So now we're looking at having eight guys (excluding Stafford since he's only had one full, good year) who have clearly been better than Eli over the past 3-5 years. Guys who were, at best, the ninth best at their position while they played aren't HOF worthy. Do you realize Hall of Fame voters will not give a rip about Eli being indistinguishable and even worse than than a handful of other quarterbacks in the regular season now that he has 2 Super Bowls, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, and probably a good half decade more to pile up stats?
  13. Pointless job title engineering. Good hire though.
  14. lol @ the Portland announcers suggesting the refs will need security to protect them from the unruly mob. Watch out, they might smack you upside the head with bags of fair trade coffee inside their hemp bags
  15. So Crawford is bashful all of a sudden?
  16. lol batum
  17. Not a goaltend but Durants arm was being cuffed down
  18. Ouch. Blocked by the under side of the backboard.
  19. KD bout to go HAM
  20. Aldridge has unbelievable skills
  21. To me, the Big 3 wanted the spectacle of keeping everyone in the dark about wanting to play together until the last possible moment. Not much anyone could've done about that. As for Howard, we're still supportive. I don't see it as being particularly homerific to point out that the Bulls have a better argument than the Nets for Howard when it comes to winning games and building a perennial contender.
  22. What's your pet theory on this?
