Thanks Kit!! My blazers have to make history now haha.

And Miami wasn't an established team. They were better than Cleveland tho. I don't blame him for leaving. Dan gilbert is a fuck head

[Kittaan]

Yeah, good luck with that bro! Tough road.

Arguing with BlackHole is like shouting into a Black Hole. Why bother?

[xZ1mM3r]

Arguing with BlackHole is like shouting into a Black Hole. Why bother?

Haha yeah it's a nearly impossible road. San Antonio just doesn't miss shots. We have to shoot the lights out just to stay in it.

I'll try to not argue further but I can't help it sometimes hah. Let's just agree that Dan Gilbert is a fuck stick and Miami is a nicer city than Cleveland and leave it at that haha

I got your back. LeBron is the fucking man. Don't give a fuck who you are playing for dropping 49 on a team in a playoff game = being a fucking boss

Yangervis Solarte was 3 for 4 last night, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored. he is now batting .330 with a .403 on base percentage. hey Raven, did you remember Cano being a top prospect in the Yankee organization? no? that makes sense because he never was. three infielders got hurt, can't remember who exactly, he was called up and never sent back to the minors. I'm just saying, aren't you a Ranger fan? didn't they release him for nothing? maybe you should trade us Prince Fielder and we'd consider sending him back your way. being 12th in runs scored and 17th in slugging percentage in THAT stadium where balls fly out if you check swing, I'm surprised you let this stud go. Donnie Murphy is batting .211, I'm just saying that would be an upgrade. no?

and I'm still posting about him because Markus was telling me in Spring training that he wasn't facing "major league pitching" and wouldn't continue his torrid pace. that, obviously was wrong. it's now half way through May and this kid isn't going anywhere.

Difference is I'm not yapping on how great the Rangers are. Their offense sucked last year and it's not so good this year either. I'm starting to see why Yanker fans have such a bad reputation.

Cano was already an established guy by the time he was 26. You keep talking about Solarte as if he's some 20 year old kid. The Rangers let him go because they had Kinsler (at the time), Profar, AND Odor (who's off to a decent start) ahead of him. He wasn't getting past Profar at the very least. Like Chris Davis, I don't care if he has a monster year the Rangers still made the right move.

Loulz at the "it's Mid-May" comment by the way. Ateast you made me (unintentionally) laugh.

[ilikecheese]

And Miami wasn't an established team.

Yes they were.
They established themselves way back in 1996.
Aside from a couple shitty seasons they've been contenders every single year before fuckstick got there.

[M0G]

^ By fuckstick he means the Magnificent King James who drops 49 points on bitches. All hail fuckstick

[BlackHole83]

The team belongs to Wade. The self proclaimed "king" joined Wade to win a championship. If he would have stayed in Cleveland and won rings with a supporting cast that supported him, then I would give him more props. Jumping ship to join a contender, weak sauce. Not the qualities of a "king" . Un loyal as they come. Did MJ jump ship? Did Kobe?

No they had shaq in his prime and pippin. Actually the entire bulls team was amazing. Read up on how well the bulls did after Jordan left... They were still amazing. Phil. Jackson. Jordan and Kobe had him. You think spolstra will be remembered like Jackson? Ha!

[xZ1mM3r]

The argument that lebron jumped ship is ridiculous. He is the best player in the game. He is the reason they have won 2 championships. Just face it.

[ilikecheese]

Dude:


Cleveland put all kinds of players around him, they had the best record in the nba two years in a row, and then?.....

free agency.


"I don't want to be a pretentious PRICK like, oh, I don't know, someone like Maynard, but I'm Lebron James, so I'll do something low-key and humble like any wise "King" would do," and that would, of course, be to make a ONE HOUR SPECIAL DEDICATED TO HIS 'DECISION!' IF THAT'S NOT THE BIGGEST EGO FUCKSTICK MOVE IN THE HISTORY OF FUCKING SPORTS I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS?!

COCKSUCKING SHIP JUMPER IS A TERM THAT COMES TO MIND.

Pat Riley who is a proven winner heads the organisation and micromanages everything
Spoelstra does. Riley and Wade had already led them to a title in 2006 so them being established shouldn't even be questioned. LBJ got his rings the easy way, not the way of the "greats". Is he a baller? Fuck yeah the dude has mad game, it's the way he shat all over Cleveland and it's loyal fan base that irks me. He has no loyalty, which is why I compared him to the others. He is the new age athlete, the old ways of staying loyal and fighting thru adversity and rebounding from that adversity and deliver a ring are over. No more players with the qualities as MJ or Bird or Magic or even Kobe. Those days are through. If he had stayed in Cleveland and toughed it out and won his ring the hard way, I would respect the dude. That's the end of it.

[Ravenpig]

Again with the "look at the Bulls record after Jordan's first retirement"

Go look at the second year post-Jordan (up to when he first came back). Go ahead, I'll wait......

Not so great now, is it?

[Ravenpig]

Crazy run by OKC to close that game out.

The Clips got screwed by those calls though.

For once, I loved the officiating!

[Ravenpig]

Heh yea I figured. I have no dog in that fight so I don't care. Doesn't change the fact that they got bent over.

For the record even if the Clips had won I still think OKC would've won in 7.

Yea, just saw this, but not on ESPN because fuck espn (fuck capitalizing it from now on, too, proper fucking douchebag noun or not/ more like improper but that's another story for another day).

The article from NBC Sports is saying, paraphrasing, 'this isn't why the clippers lost, etc.... but it is what everyone's talking about.'

They have that right, sure.

They forgot one little thing....watching that play only serves to remind Cheese why Cheese doesn't watch the nba.
How anyone in the league, fans included, can look at that play and be proud
that THAT is an eample of your best product (playoff basketball)
is way the fuck beyond Cheese.
In hockey, or any other legit sport,
(which would be any sport which has rules in which to govern the play AND which are enforced accordingly and, most importantly to the players and coaches, consistently),
that would be called a dive 101% of the time, the player would get a penalty, the ball would have been awarded to the other team (the correct rule-based decision in that case), and you wouldn't see it tried for months.

In the nba it happens every game.

Russian mafia.

[Ravenpig]

Apparently the rule is if a "player hits the offensive player on the hand and the ball goes out of bounds the offensive team keeps possession".

So I guess it was the correct call.

[The Boss]

Brillant, Birighitti, and Taggart, all from the Newcastle Jets, made the Socceroos squad for the World Cup.

OWNED OWNED OWNED. If those three start every match, we'll be winning the Cup.

[ilikecheese]

Apparently the rule is if a "player hits the offensive player on the hand and the ball goes out of bounds the offensive team keeps possession".

So I guess it was the correct call.

That makes no sense. If a player hits another player who has the ball on the hand, that should be a foul.
Oh fuck the NBGAY already....

[ilikecheese]

Oh, and by the way poop and mog.....

I wasn't going to say anything but, like Bill Cosby, I'M IN A BAD AND I'M GOING TO TAKE IT OUT ON YOU!
