Real Deal

Haha, no idea. I just added those three (and Kansas) to one of my 10,000 brackets, and I realized that it could happen.

Final Four...what are the odds that we'll see three Wildcats? Kentucky Wildcats Villanova Wildcats Kansas State Wildcats

I never wish major injuries on anyone...I just wish LeBron would get a hangnail and have to miss the rest of the season.

Man, Memphis just blew it, even though they did hold on for the win. I turned it off once I saw the Grizz up by 20 and heard that four of the starters for Chicago were out. Figured this was going to be a 30+ point victory.

Yeah, I figured Wizards fans dropped their jaws. Good game against a good team, just not enough clutch play to get the job done, really.

Wow. How many teams do you see score 150+ points on 56% FG, 48% 3PT, and 93% FT? What in the hell were the Wolves doing?

Yeah, Casspi was running his chops, and he busted Bryant's hand. You heard right. It's unlikely for Bryant to miss six of 14 from the stripe. The last time he shot under 60% from the line, 10 or more free throws attempted, was February 2006, against the Hawks (6-12 FT), and it was after a huge shooting slump where he was playing through an injury the previous 4-5 games.

In other news, Ron Artest sucked tonight. We HAVE to take the load off Kobe. Asking him to come out and be aggressive on command is understandable when you don't have capable scorers on the team, but come on...we have enough. Why can't Phil ask him and the entire team to just play the damn game? This "Kobe play aggressive in the first and fourth only" BS is really starting to take its toll on Bryant.

Yeah, it would be a little different if they were actually star players, or elite defenders.

IF we're going to compare the two players to superstars in the NBA, Curry gets the nod as a Steve Nash, while Tyreke is a LeBron. Obviously, the two have a LONG ways to go to reach that point, though.

LOL, I can't believe this. We were up 13-15 points.

LOL, a friend of mine has a KU table. http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs078.snc3/14541_1177266710271_1186200085_30471248_218871_n.jpg Got it for his birthday...his sister and her boyfriend made it for him.

Don't overrate Smith's dunk, though. He caught it already halfway turned around, so it wasn't quite a 360. Anyone with airtime can catch an oop, look around and see that they are a couple of feet away from duplicating that dunk, as long as the oop keeps him close to the rim...and that's the key. The pass was just as good as the dunk.

Jordan didn't have a weakness after he added the three-pointer to his game, so there's your answer.

What browser?

Foreign players must turn 19 on that calendar year. Rubio was 18 when he was drafted, turning 19 that same year (2009), so that would make him eligible.

Rules: 1) 16 lines max. 2) At least two of those lines must be about your opponent's favorite sports team (basketball, football, etc). 3) Cussing will be censored if you decide to use it. Don't bypass the censor with asterisks or other symbols. 4) If you say Dick Vitale's first name, please censor it yourself by typing [expletive]. In the manner it would be used in this contest, it should be filtered out. NOBODY ELSE POST IN THIS TOPIC UNTIL THE SECOND RAP IS ADDED. After both competitors are finished, members can place their vote. Votes are only valid with an explanation containing two or more sentences, no exceptions. The lower seeds (in terms of position) go first. Based on this match-up, DaBearfan101 will be asked to post his, followed by Confidence. You have two days to post. Good luck, fellas. Run yo mouth!

Gave it three days. Swish takes it, 9-7. And I suggest people start working their problems out over AIM, and not on the forums. Otherwise, you won't have the opportunity to work them out here, ever again.

Fisher, Brown, Farmar, and Vujacic all SUCK. Not only did Curry light them up, but he also did it with ease. He had way too many open looks, way too many EASY drives to the rim, and it got to the point where we had to double team Stephen, and that's pathetic. Garbage win for a team that needs to step up someday. This crap is unacceptable.

I guess I can say he was great on the break, also...but his main role in the offense was spot-up shooting.

Ariza was a spot-up shooter, nothing more (offensively). He rarely made passes like that. With Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Bynum attacking the rim or dominating the ball (or both), Ariza's job was to get open for a jumper, and that's why he was an excellent player for us.

Well, there were two calls I didn't like...but I think the comeback had a lot to do with Melo, and the Rockets really, really slacking off defensively. They stopped contesting everything by the time the fourth rolled around, and Denver just has too much firepower to let them go like that. Still time left.

No matter what, you have to consider Lee a center because it's his primary position, and he's played it all season long. 1) Dwight Howard 2) Andrew Bogut 3) Andrew Bynum 4) Marc Gasol 5) David Lee Gasol is almost putting up a double-double, and he also plays defense. That gives him the nod over Lee. Bynum would be putting up huge numbers, probably the second best center in the NBA, if he was the first or second option on another team. Bogut is playing solid basketball right now, and there's no need for me to explain Dwight.
