Real Deal

Shawn Michaels is in the cabin, Undertaker is outside of it. http://i53.tinypic.com/2rrs2ko.jpg That's Michaels. You can tell by the mouth, and it looks like he has a hairy chest. OR it's HHH. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/3328/hbkwm25.jpg He's turning into a dark HBK. Rising from the dead. No grave can hold him down (his career). Wanna hear the song AGAIN? It was HBK/Taker's promo song in WM26. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C54J6QLMMmQ Seems really easy to figure out now.

That's not true, actually. The company admitted that the bands had no scientific proof that they do anything. Big difference. I have one, wear it every day. The balance/strength tests work, and I did them over and over, and over, and over again...band on and off. Freaked my ass out. If it's a mental thing, so be it...but they do SOMETHING. I had no reason to botch the test, and was a skeptic when I first tried it...laughed, criticized, the whole thing. Now I wear it.

Gordon will expect the Clippers to build around them, but we all know who's untouchable and which player the franchise should build aroud. In due time, EG will want out because of it, through free agency or a trade.

Alright, time to start watching again. I saw it tonight. This is the wrestling I remember...none of that garbage I tuned into a few months back (sorry, current fans). And by the way...the third promo for Taker, it wasn't just for him. He was in the house. They showed his face. Someone else was outside, in a similar trench coat. Sting coming back to fight Taker at WM? The Rock destroys a heel Cena? Please be true. I'll spend money.

That's not going to change my mind. If he was Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, or some old vet that's chasing a ring, I'd understand. Malone, Payton...ring-chasing. For what LeBron wants (to ring-chase, like a 15-year veteran), the Heat weren't his best choice right now. He could've taken the MLE and came to the Lakers and played in the triangle, or went to Boston. If he wanted better teammates, but wanted to preserve his legacy and be the sole leader of a championship team (Griffin is an all-star, not a superstar), he would've went to the Clippers, or to New Jersey, or New York. Technically, his best bet was to team up with Durant or Griffin. Both are very young. Wade is 29 years old and is on the same road as Allen Iverson, in regards to being injured (and playing with injuries) all season long. LeBron, Griffin and Gordon...or LeBron, Durant and Westbrook...those are two scary trios right now. They would be in the WCF, at least. There's no guarantee that they would get past the Lakers, but there's also no guarantee that LeBron's Heat are going to get past the Celtics (0-3 against them this season).

Durant and Westbrook, mainly because Griffin and Gordon aren't going to stay together.

Copy and paste the code below, filling in the blanks. All correct answers get you five points. No late entries accepted. If you don't turn yours in by the tip-off of the first game, you miss out, no exceptions. Tuesday, February 15th Miami @ Indiana (NBATV) Winner: Leading scorer: New Orleans @ Golden State Winner: Player with the most turnovers: Wednesday, February 16th Washington @ Orlando Winner: Leading scorer: LA Clippers @ Minnesota Winner: Leading passer: Denver @ Milwaukee (ESPN) Winner: Leading rebounder: Thursday, February 17th San Antonio @ Chicago (TNT) Winner: Leading passer: Dallas @ Phoenix (TNT) Winner: Player with the most threes made:

Since their pathetic start (1-13, or something like that), the Clippers are a .500 team (knock off the injury to Gordon...but with it, they are just 19-21). And, it's the same Clippers team that has beaten the most elite teams in the NBA. The Heat are currently 1-6 against the top five. ----- In addition to all of that, LeBron would be Batman. I doubt many would consider Blake Griffin on the same level, especially since there are some that won't even say he's better than Bosh. LeBron, on the Clippers, continues his legacy. Now, people think he's ditching a city because he couldn't get it done, and is asking for a former champ's help.

Drew is usually out in the 4th anyway...but today, he wasn't playing late because he hurt his knee. He was holding it and limping around (to no one's surprise). Jackson would've kept him out though, wouldn't have mattered.

Paul Pierce and LeBron James would score 50 on us. And Fisher does hit big shots, but misses everything else, which hurts more than helps.

Gasol is scared to death of Dwight. That's the difference between a superstar and a true borderline all-star. Howard looks like Hakeem out there.

LOL, Gasol got killed. Go figure.

Uh, put Kobe back in? I hate our scrubs.

WTF, they counted that oop?

Allen gets almost every three he makes by running off of screens, just like Korver (and Reggie Miller). The difference is that Allen has played 35-40 minutes a game, and was once the primary scoring option. Korver will never have that opportunity. You rarely see Allen go isolation, then drop a three. Very rare, even when he was in Seattle and Milwaukee.

Three fouls on Nelson, on that last play. Hit to the arm, to the body, and a grab. Ridiculous.

If you have it on DVR, go back. He makes it clear as day that it wasn't a foul, and it wasn't. LeBron was just trying to get the call. No reason for me to be biased, because I hate both teams, and LeBron and Garnett are my two most hated players. Couldn't care less what happens to either of them. Shaq has been mugged throughout his career. For being one of the most dominant forwards in the history of the game, LeBron sure gets a lot of touch fouls going his way.

Why won't LeBron take that three? He has passed up on game-winning shots more than ever, seems like. He even passed up a wide-open shot not too long ago, to dish to Eddie House (who hit the shot, but still...). Oh well.

Jackson didn't.

KG's arm barely touched his shoulder. LeBron needs to try to make the basket, not try to draw the foul. He would've had that layup if he wasn't trying to get to the foul line every drive.

Uh oh, foul city. It's how you get back in the game.

I laughed at LeBron swatting Rondo away like a fly, when Rajon was trying to get an earful from the Heat huddle. Miami isn't going to go away. The Celtics aren't getting anything from Pierce...at all. He's missed a couple of open shots, but Miami is defending him at the elbow, not letting him get to his sweet spot. Someone has been watching tape (or just paying attention for the last 10 years).

It depends. Curry may have to become more of a facilitator...he's shown that he can run an offense and pass the ball well, and if Monta ends up being traded, Curry will handle the ball much more, create more for his teammates, and his three-point attempts will fall. Durant doesn't hit them as efficiently, so I don't see it happening for him. Kyle Korver would get close if he was getting more minutes and shot attempts. He's a top three shooter in the NBA (Ray is better this season, and I'm sure I could find someone else). Curry will most likely get up there, but it all depends on the role he has to play later in his career. As a facilitator and a pure point...no, he won't set the record.
