That's cool that Bolland lives near The Pony. That was the bar that the Hawks went to immediately after landing in Chicago from Philly after game 6. I always thought they ended up there because Duncan Keith lives nearby (he lives ~2 blocks from the bar on the corner of Melrose and Paulina), but I guess Bolland does too.

I love the fact that it's obviously digging into LeBron that people are taking such enjoyment on the Heats, and more specifically his failures. Based on his comments last night he obviously has this "how dare they hate me? I am King James!" defiance to it. Makes sense that someone who has been revered and treated like royalty since he was 15 has developed this "holier than thou" attitude, intentionally or not. After everyone telling you how great you are for 10 years, you start to believe it. So its always fun to see someone have to resort to the "I'm a superstar athlete, I'm better than you" as a response to criticism. Really shows deep down how sensitive he is in general, and really gives haters the confirmation that he really is affected by all the hating. Expect the abuse, as well as his responses to the abuse, to only get worse from here on.

lol that one reminds me of Philly fans getting pissed that we had our parade plan mapped out after winning game 5. Screw Vancouver though. I feel like they think they are the Red Sox of the NHL.

LeBron's drop from 27 PPG in the regular season to 18 PPG in the Finals is the largest difference in NBA history.

David Stern?

i liked when he fell to the ground right before that. Gotta admit. I hated Bosh probably as much if not more than Bron and Wade all year. I laughed my ass off when he apparently cried after a regular season loss. But I gained a very slight amount of respect for his reaction to losing. LeBron looked disappointed but is excited to return to his life or something. Wade shrugged things off. Bosh looked like he took it hard. They probably all took it very hard, but looks can make an impression.

2-8 on the trip is about what I expected. What i wasn't expecting is a surprising 4 almost wins. Good stuff boys! -
It's the bottom of the 7th already? I feel like it just started.
-
Yup, they just said that on CSN. Said he was down in the batters box for "minutes". Figures
-
Vancouver has scored 6 goals in this series and has a 3-2 lead. Unreal. They've scored 1 or 0 goals in 4 of the 5 games and won 2 of those games.
-
Dammit, I am not sure I am ready to live in a world where Vancouver are the champs.
-
You stay classy Miami This coming from 2 guys who pride themselves in drawing fouls on imaginary contact. Are they trying to imply Dirk was faking it? Let's see what other excuses Maverick Carter aka Stephen A Smith or Chris Broussard come up with for LeBron's finals. So he's been dealing with horrible personal issues. What's next? He decided to adopt some orphan children and one of them needs a heart transplant. Or maybe JayZ can rap some excuses for LeBron. Or they were just kidding around and happened to have been caught on camera. A bit strange but I really don't think they were implying he faked it.

If the Canucks win the cup, its amazing that a few inches of difference could have had them choking in the first round.. The save comes around 6:02
-
Really entertaining game so far. Both teams getting good chances and moving the puck really well.

6/10 Cubs (Z) @ PHI (Halladay) 6:05 CSN
UMFan83 replied to sweetpeteman's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Yup. 3-0 may as well be 30-0 against Halladay. Yeah no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. Oh wait we suck and we're facing Halladay so its allowed to happen. Carry on -
I don't think Noah was at the top of his game in that series defensively, but he wasn't as awful as people were suggesting. Offensively yeah.
-
What other half of the skyline are you talking about? You see the arch and the tall buildings, there's nothing else to see. Can anyone that lives more than 100 miles from St. Louis point out one recognizable building in downtown St. Louis other than the Arch and the city hall building. I've been to St. Louis several times and seen their skyline on a number of occasions, but trying to picture the skyline, all I can visualize is those 2 landmarks and a bunch of generic buildings.
-
Well it would ultimately depend on the exact deal, but no. But thats because Carmelo is not the guy people claimed he is. Overrated. Maybe a little. But a second scorer alongside Rose sure would've looked good against Miami. Sure but Bosh and LeBron torching us without Noah and Deng in there would have looked not as good. So we lose 4 "105-98" games instead of 4 "88-82" games.
-
It's a clever idea, but considering renovation is rumored to cost in the hundreds of millions of dollars, I can't see them get more than a couple million back from that. but I guess every little bit helps, and that'd be pretty cool to watch.
-
Don't jinx them when they still have 1/3 of the way to go.
-
sure but for who? Noah? I guess that wouldnt be horrible but then who do we replace him with? I realize we gotta get rid of someone to improve the team because outside of Rose, Deng and Noah, there is not a great chance of getting an impact player without having to give up 3-4 combined players from the rest of the roster and draft picks. It's not like we'll be able to give up Asik, Brewer, Bobcats pick, 28th pick and get Monta...right?
-
I can't see GarPax giving up Deng after what he did last year. Pax has been too protective of his core during his tenure to let that move occur. Plus Deng's defense was a difference maker for the Bulls this year.
-
aka the wrong side. I know you are going to respond but making some exaggerated sensationalist statement and never actually state your argument because it will be beaten down. Typical SSR
-
this was such a strnage performance. its the same as his final game with cleveland. yea he had a triple double so you cant say he was bad, but the scoring still wasnt there. 2 points in the quarter? that cant happen. every time he touched the ball in the 4th i felt like he was either going to pass it or force up a contested jumper. Yeah he had a good game overall but come on, 15 points total in 5 Finals games. He can be the facilitator and defender all he wants, but if he can't take over down the stretch at least least once in this series, I cant consider him the best player in the NBA. Most talent? Most physical tools? Scariest player? Sure. Best player? It's not all that clear.
