Fractured my left hand yesterday playing bball, this sucks. I can't do anything with my left hand now, typing with one hand is a [expletive].

Sigh, what a pathetic performance yet again. I'm too frustrated to even talk about it. :wallbash3:

Blatche is doubtful for tonight, and Beasley will probably not play. LETS GET THAT FIRST ROAD WIN ALREADY.

Guy Dupuy is sick. Great find Guru.

I love his work, he's got a ton of good stuff out. But the best young rapper out right now is J. Cole.

Lmao, this thread is seriously getting out of hand. Jay Z isn't on the same planet as Pac, and in no way is Pac overrated (not sure if that was a joke or not). Pac is a lock for top 3 all time. 2pac wasn't the first to do a lot of things, and that was well documented in his interviews and lyrics. He was one of the first artist's to pay homage to those before him and is in a lot of cases the sole reasons artist still do so today, and the notion he was simply a "gangsta rapper" is completely false. Me Against the World makes that statement as false as it could be, he was as much of an activist than a gangsta rapper which really was the sole result of putting an innocent man in prison (at least "he" knew/thought he was innocent) The difference between 2pac and alot of other rappers was that the guy was real, and most importantly he knew how to sell. Not many people in his time and even now know that death sells, the entire part of his early career surrounded death. Not only did it sell, but it was reality in the mans life constantly dodging death, you can't beat that in the industry. Pac understood the elements it took to create not only a fierce competitor in the rap industry but understood how to lead people regardless of the color of their skin or upbringing, and he did it through powerful music. His first 2 albums caught the fans attention, not the albums following those, and once the spotlight was on him he knew exactly what to do with it, while making arguably the best music at the time.

He did everything he possibly could in Cleveland. Had he stayed, they would have reached their full potential this year as a top 3 team in the East with a second or third round exit in the playoffs. They were no where near the Celtics IMO. Just for the record, that year, there wasn't a team really with 2 superstars. It was NY with Ewing (Starks wasn't a star or any sort of), Orlando with a young Shaq (and pre-prime Penny), Atlanta (by the time playoff came, they had no superstar), Chicago with Pippen, San Antonio with Robinson, Seattle with pre-prime Kemp and Payton (before Payton's 20 ppg years). Well, technically Malone&Stockton, or Barkley&Johnson (though they both had injuries) could be a classic two superstar combo, but they are also part of the "group of superstars who could never win", not just in that year. What I'm trying to say is, that Olajuwon's single-handed championship came when the league was "in between" the post-Lakers, Celtics, Bulls era and the pre-Bulls, Spurs, Lakers era. And really, those two Rockets teams were designed like the Cavs. Strong defensive team with great role players around their one true star player. And they all had several players that were able to stretch the floor. LeBron is a genuine douche bag, we all know this, but I don't really think that's what at debate here. The real story is the fact that Cleveland has completely forgotten about the past 7 years.

YES!!!!

I hate Nolan Smith..

He's improved on defense this season, something I really did not expect him to do. I knew with Gil leaving that his scoring output would increase, but with how he played last year, he was not motivated on the other end of the court. He's clearly making an effort to improve in that aspect of the game. My biggest knock on him isn't his inconsistency on defense, but his inability to create for others. When he's not having a good night shooting the ball, he's completely out of it because he's a terrible passer. And he's really improved on moving off the ball. He's playing much better coming off of screens, and he's easily Wall's most reliable target. He's our most improved player, no question about it.

Agreed, he really lifted everyone's spirits with his speech and was so emotional in his delivery. It truly felt like he had lost his own daughter in the killings, and spoke like he was the father of Christina (nine year old who was killed). My favorite part of the speech was when he said, "I believe we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved lives here - they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us."

Just turned on the game now, it's appalling how they have shot 28 threes and are still in this game. So reminiscent of the MD-Duke game on Sunday...

Magic's 9 game win streak is snapped. Tough loss for them, Dwight missing those 2 FT's were huge.

HEDO HITS THE 3!!! Stupid, stupid decision by the Hornets by not fouling Dwight, they even had a foul to give...

Tough break for the Magic, just couldn't boxout Thornton.. But Paul misses a FT and Magic are down by 3. Let's see what happens.

JRich with two HUGE three point shots, wow. Hornets had this game won, but they simply don't guard the three well enough.

What an inspirational speech made by President Obama just now at the memorial service, just amazing. Analysts on CNN were comparing his 30 minute speech to Reagan's 4 minute speech after Challenger and Clinton's 8 minute speech in Oklahoma. Text of Obama's speech Great to hear from him, he spoke about how Gifford opened her eyes for the first time when he visited her at the hospital. A defining moment in his presidency for sure.

http://twitter.com/#!/MikeVick Congrats to Mike, very well deserved.

I hardly watch hockey though. I'm a football and basketball type guy, and both have disappointed me way too much, especially the Redskins.

I've always liked the Celtics somewhat because I'm a huge fan of Pierce, but I really became a big fan of them when Garnett (my favorite player at the time) got traded there. I guess that's considered bandwagoning. -_- But hey, I need to have fun watching basketball every now and then (or sports for that matter) since I live in DC. Yeah I'm officially a depressed sports fan.
