    good win. i hope we're sticking with crawford though.

    over the course of a full season it's a huge difference

    yup. bulls just played for the 3rd night in a row also. i think we're going to see some ugly basketball in the playoffs.

    i mean the refs did blow a few calls (for both teams), but lebron/wade/spoelstra were complaining on every single possession. it's amazing.

    god, the heat get pissed at the refs on every single play

    lucas almost fucked around and got a triple double

    reinsdorf wasn't even willing to use the full MLE on a 62 win team that made it to the ECF. he'll never agree to use the amnesty clause

    that wouldn't be horrible, but it would be a disappointment. an .830 OPS at first base isn't really a long-term solution

    galaxy s ii?
  16. 17 Seconds
    i guess lebron thinks its the finals again

    c-webb is a good analyst but the glasses are unfortunate

    monta just had a chance to beat the heat and he passed it at the buzzer

    depends on what you mean by "improved". they have a better record, but i don't think they're a better team. the goal differential has been catching up to them. they were a more skilled team last year with better defense and better goaltending (although the goaltending isn't the FO's fault), they just happened to blow a lot of close games last season.

    seems like an arbitrary distinction

    what the hell else are they going to spend the money on? this is just being cheap.

    i just dont see any reason to think he'll get more next offseason than this offseason. by most accounts, a lot of people are after him THIS offseason
  23. 17 Seconds
    that grabow contract is still amazing
  24. 17 Seconds
    we're going for the number 1 pick

    you don't really know what your team/payroll is going to look like 3-4 years into the future, and you don't know what your needs are going to be. if you figure a guy is worth 5 mil a year and he's going to be making 7-8 million towards the end of the contract because you backloaded it, that might end up hurting you more than you can anticipate. it's risky because you're sacrificing future payroll flexibility to get him cheaper at the beginning. i don't really care that much about backloaded contracts, but saying it's "always" a good idea is pretty silly. you never know exactly what your team/situation is going to look like 3-4 into the future.
