  1. Miller is such an infuriating (yet useful) player. He's too slow for even an effective pick and pop game because he takes so long to load up his shot and then he'll ball fake, lumber towards the basket, and if he isn't called for a travel throw up some horrible pass/shot up. But at the same time, he has stretches where he holds down the interior and is a total glass eater (especially with Noah). I think you have to give Vinny credit for playing Miller/Tyrus when matchups warranted it. And oh yeah, Derrick FREAKING Rose.
  2. Oh my god I just finished the game on DVR. Most nerve racking NBA game I've watched since Game 6 against Utah.
  3. Hmm. The clock did stop. I didn't think there was anyway Miller would've had time for that. Gordon did get fouled on the 3 though.
  4. Miller's body can't keep up with his head. I've never seen a player fake himself out so much.
  5. It only took 83 games for Derrick to start getting calls.
  6. That "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" movie looks worse than the Holocaust.
  7. Derrick and Jo look great on offense. Gotta play both ways though.
  8. If you haven't read this reconstruction of events leading up to the crash you should. Great reading and just very sad overall. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4075761
  9. Ram needs to hammer those totally underwhelming fastballs highish in the zone--instead he waves at the slider.
  10. Outside of the Lilly start, the starting pitching has been nothing to write home about either. Harden's first start was pretty damn good. Oh yeah. I guess I forgot that after his sparkling performance on Wednesday.
  11. Outside of the Lilly start, the starting pitching has been nothing to write home about either.
  12. How long are hockey intermissions?
  13. I heard Cutler was wearing a Red Sox cap to the Hawks game. Confirm/deny?
  14. I know nothing about hockey so pardon my ignorance. But is Versus really over lapping the Blackhawks game with the Red Wings/Blue Jackets game by ~1 hour (or more)?
  15. If Rose has Rose guarding him Rose is going to go off on Rose.
  16. Feels like it's been a week since Fontenot got on base.
  17. Does David Patton have some Charlie Villanueva thing going on?
  18. I don't know the yankees are getting blown out to open Yankee Stadium... I don't think there's time for any other story. Well they need some other story to feature. What do you think they're going to talk about...the NHL playoffs :-)) ?
  19. The silver lining of Milton getting tossed is that it'lll be replayed on SportsCenter ad nauseum so the public can see how bad the calls were.
  20. If Paul Pierce is an indicator, Kevin Garnett will be ready for tip off of Game 1. Although I don't think KG is the type to fake devastating knee injuries like PP is.
  21. Yeah, but he's got a reputation in the media and amongst many of the fans that isn't all that conducive to him going down as a beloved character. If he's the best pitcher on an eventual world series champion, or maybe just an NL champ, it would really help. As long as he produces I think Z's emotional nature endears him to Cubs fans more than it diminishes his standing. Anecdotally, my mom who knows nothing about baseball and isn't a native speaker thinks it's "cute" when Z stomps around the mound and mutters to himself. And yeah, if Sosa continues to exist where only circumstantial evidence links him to steroids he'll have his number retired--and he should.
  22. Collinsworth to replace him on SNF.
