6/12 - Twins (Slowey) @ Cubs (Wells) 1:20 WGN
SpongeWorthy replied to Brian's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Certainly not this year, or next, or probably 2011. It'll be a while till we have the financial flexibility to make the moves necessary to win it all again. 2013 according to Back to the Future II. It's actually 2015. We'll be completing the 3 peat in October 2015. -

Shaq's footwork and touch around the basket was a lot better than Howard's is now. Plus he was a good passer out of double teams and didn't spaz out like Dwight has a tendency to do when he's pressured.

frankly i think it would be awesome if orlando just decided to completely tank it so that the lakers don't get to celebrate their victory at home. i'd probably even watch that game if the magic promised to lose by at least 50. It'd be awesome if the Lakers win on Sunday so I don't have to deal with the rioting in Downtown on a work day. I'm definitely calling in sick the day of the parade. You don't want to see Adam Morrison celebrate? I'd rather see him cry. Obviously he lacks the unbridled enthusiasm of Mark Madsen.
-
I'm surprised you guys haven't reacted more strongly to that elbow. That was just a terrible blown (non) call. It's probably karmic though for Orlando to lose that game with the epic choking going on.
-
Well that's a pretty disgusting no call. Can't say the Magic responded well to that. Oh well.
-
I can underestand not fouling there (after you refuse to foul Kobe when you have him trapped) because Fisher was faced towards the basket. But the pressure was weak...just let Fish blow by you there. ...Andddd Lewis finally shows up.
-
SVG sure is riding Nelson when he's given them nothing all series.
-
Lamar Odom really should've been a Hall of Famer. His talent level is incredible.
-
Someone should tell Rashard Lewis the game has started.
-
Alabama should've known better than to think the biggest racket in the American University system, the NCAA, was going to tolerate exploitation of the 2nd biggest racket in the American University system: the college bookstore.
-
I don't believe those times for a second. Then again, I don't really believe any 40 times from college football. Wayyyy too many stories of supposedly "4.4 guys" going to the combine and running 4.7s.
-
I don't see a coach of Dixon's caliber coming to USC knowing what's hanging over the program in ways of possible sanctions and other NCAA scrutiny.
-
I have never seen Kobe look that bad at the line. Even his makes weren't clean.
-
This is like an All-Star game.
-
Kobe's in beast mode.
-
Whoa, awesome. Saw the In play, no outs update on Gameday. Was not expecting a triple from Tedford.
-
Man, Orlando's guard play is SO BAD. No wonder Van Gundy wanted to get Nelson back in the fold quickly. Reddick made some bad plays but Alston was unspeakably bad when he was out on the floor.
-
FIFA rankings are horribly flawed. The ELO rankings have us in the mid 20's, which is about correct. As far as a top 50 player, Tim Howard might make that list if you allow for GK's. No field player would make the top 100, sadly. It seems pretty disjointed that a team in the top 25 of the world wouldn't have one guy who you'd say was at least approaching a world class level.
-
I'm a complete soccer noob but I like to watch the games the national team plays so maybe one of you knowledgeable types can answer a question or two for me. Does the US have at least one player that would be widely considered one of the top 25 players in the world? Top 50? If not, where are the preponderance of our national team players relative to the international talent? I know that not many of the players play in the best European leagues. Why is that? And if there aren't that many how is the US ranked respectably high in the FIFA rankings (which I understand mean very little in the grand scheme of things but it should be somewhat illustrative of a relative talent level)?
-
Well that sounds good. But I can only think about training camp of 2007 when every report was glowing and it looked like the Bears offense and Rex were ready to blow the doors off the league.
-
I thought Graham was pretty decent last year. Or am I thinking of Payne who looked good at times too?
-
Sammy to formally retire soon

Why? Oh and for the guys wanting DeRozan, doesn't his shot scare you? No, not really. He's not a good shooter right now but a lot of super bouncy wing types aren't and develop jumpers once they get into the league. At the end of the year he was really showing a nice pull up jumper in the midrange area. I think he'll develop an adequate 3 point shot in time--he's got good mechanics and a nice, high release point. My biggest concern is his handle--he doesn't have one. He gets flustered easily and can't slash to the basket because it's really quite poor. It takes away from his leaping ability.

Wow, that's some of the dumbest crap I've ever seen.
