Real Deal

Hope nobody watched it. It sucked. Basically, Brock tried taking him down a couple of times, decided he was going to stand and out-punch him (I guess???) and got tagged on the left side of his face. It opened up something NASTY. Lesnar was on the ground most of the time after that, had gotten back to his feet before falling on his own, just to cover his face, and the referee stopped the fight before the first round ended. Cain Velasquez, 9-0, and the first Mexican-American MMA heavyweight champ.

I really didn't care who won the game, but once I saw Werth on deck, I was praying that Howard got that base hit, loaded the bases for Werth, who would crush a grand slam. Yes, fantasy land.

Whooooaaaa...

Howard time! Long overdue for a homer.

So much for Lincecum's 8th inning. He didn't last long.

Whoa...good trick by the Hornets. In other words, the longer you keep the pick, the more restricted it gets. And why? Because CP3 will be a free agent soon. So, in other words, New Orleans forces the Blazers to use that pick before Paul leaves the Hornets, because once he's gone, that pick could very well be a top 8...and it would be protected. Portland really didn't get anything out of this if they don't use that pick in two years and if the Hornets win enough games to have the 20th-30th pick in the first round.

Before the season starts...more than likely tomorrow.

Anybody watching? Utley was about to throw down, lol. And, funny enough, he was chill about the whole thing, wasn't trying to start anything...although him tossing the ball was sort of funny.

Bayless can log minutes at the two as well, so he won't be playing behind CP3 all the time.

Well, he missed 60% of his shots and didn't play much defense, and those are the two things he'll be asked to do in Miami.

He was baaaad last season, especially in the playoffs. But, maybe he can be 1/3 of what Mike Miller is.

Didn't he state that Kobe was his favorite player?

It was against the Wolves. Maggette is a deer. And that's really weird. I've never seen a player do anything like that before. Haha, and he picked up those five fouls in 14 minutes. Scott Skiles: "Corey, go in there and play, or I'll trade you to the Raptors."

Anyone else interested in doing this? I'm not sure how many of you would want to do it, but I think it's a really, really good idea, to give everyone an opportunity to create videos and upload them to OTR's account.

None of that makes sense. Getting money does not relate to getting women, unless you're getting women because you're getting money. Not really sure what else to say to you. Good luck reaching your goal.

Rich in material (money) and rich in looks...they don't compare. That was the point I made. Katy Perry's looks...she didn't invest in them, she didn't go out and earn them by working a job. You aren't born with money in your pockets. You have to work to get it, whether we're talking a job or just investing. Using your logic, I can relate ANYTHING to earning money. Right now, I'm rich in bottled water. I have three cases of it. I believed I could get it at the store, so I got it. I'm also rich in basketball knowledge. I wanted it, so I got it. What you aren't getting is that EVERYONE wants money. The desire to have money is not the same as succeeding in getting money. Layman's terms, having a goal and doing what you can to achieve it does NOT mean you will achieve it. You can preach the same thing over and over and over again, but you're wrong. Everyone's life doesn't end like a fairy tale, dude, no matter how hard they work at achieving their goals. You're slapping people in the face when you preach how easy it is, how they should work harder, when you don't know a damn thing about anyone else on this board. Truth is, if being rich means I'm going to walk around and tell everyone what to do, not physically earn my money, and basically look down on anyone who can't make the money I'm making...there's no [expletive]ing way I want to be rich. Nothing you can ever say will change that.

I've never seen our bench play team defense this good before. Not even in the Kobe/Shaq era. :o Are we going to win an overtime game with Kobe AND Gasol sitting in the OT? EDIT: And no Odom? EDIT #2: Kobe is back in, lol. EDIT #3: No Kobe, haha.

Hahaha...man, I felt that blood pressure spike up just a bit, right when he was bringing that ball up the court. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SEASON TO START.

Okay.

Vujacic is playing smarter than he did last year. Caracter is showing he can play...which is nice, because earlier in the preseason, he was rubbish. I wish Kobe and Gasol were more involved in the game, as far as facilitating and scoring goes. I understand it's preseason and the Lakers need to play guys like Ebanks and Caracter, but man...

How fitting is it that A-Rod strikes out to end the game, the series, and the Yankees' season? He played like garbage most of the series.

That's because I was born sexy. I wasn't born rich.

Game is on ESPN, everyone. When I first added these games, ESPN and NBA.com didn't have preseason games as televised. Screwed me over a bit.

It's Adam Morrison timeeeeee. Jerry Stackhouse is done. He'll hit a couple of open shots here and there, but he'll also get lit up by most players in the league today, and the Heat can't afford that. He was pathetic knocking down shots for the Bucks last year, especially in the playoffs, so I can't really say he'd hit those open shots, either.
