JT3000 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 They weren't supposed to make it that far in the first place. Not a SINGLE person thought they would. "Not a single person" gave the number three seed a shot? Tough sell there, captain. Good try though. Hey, at least I'm trying.
BeemerBoy Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^Although I said I was done, I just wanted to say that I think you just proved my point. Maybe the problem is that you believe everything you see or hear in the media. I mean if Tim Legler predicted it or said it was true....... Scott "Now I'm done" B.
Wes Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I accurately predicted it in my weekly ESPN column, The W.E.S. Report...
BeemerBoy Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^ Are you renewing your Clippers tickets next season?

Maybe the problem is that you believe everything you see or hear in the media. I mean if Tim Legler predicted it or said it was true....... What are you talking about? I just proved my own point, not yours. It isn't about me "believing" what the media says, because I don't. I knew the Cavs couldn't beat us. It's about everyone in the media (and 90% of general NBA fans) thinking we wouldn't win. Do I really care what they have to say? No, because they're obviously a bunch of trained monkeys. But it still proves my point. The team exceeded expectations.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted December 18, 2009 Author Posted December 18, 2009 A little less than two months into the season. Thoughts?
BeemerBoy Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 T-Mac is on pace to start the All-Star game. That pretty much sums it up so far. Scott "it's still football season for now" B.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 9, 2010 Author Posted January 9, 2010 T-Mac is on pace to start the All-Star game. It's 33 degrees in hell and the mercury is dropping fast. Okay, So Gilbert Arenas deserves to be punished to degees past the highest caliber. If you haven't read any articles of his current weapons possesions charges, you can do so here. Okay, so whether or not anyone wants to say it or admit it, actors, musicians, athletes, models, and celebrities are looked at as "better" than everyone else. Here you give people privilege, money, fame, a solid gold house, and a rocket car-and the only thing that people ask for in return is that you act accordingly. Whether you want to accept it or not, as a professional athlete, you are better than "everybody else". You agree to assume that role when you take money to be the face of a sports franchise. No owner is going to let you play for their team, no commissioner is going to let you play for their league, and no fan is going to back you if you make an ass out of yourself. (well, stupid ones will) You are supposed to be a professional athlete. A PROFESSIONAL athlete. Those who are profesionals in their fields dond go around toting guns to their work. Cops, Drug dealers, and drug dealing rappers are the only people that should have a gun when they clock in for work, and if Gilbert Arenas wants to make a laughing matter out of a serious incident that damaged the image of an already image hurting sport, he deserves to be shown the exit.
Wes Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 So we're essentially at the midpoint of the season. Elite teams: Cavs, Lakers, Celtics. Really good teams: Hawks, Dallas, Denver, Orlando. Surprises: Grizzlies, Raptors.
Homeboy23 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I would add the Bobcats to the list of surprise teams. Never expected them to be at .500.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 I'm surprised that Orlando isn't up there with the big three this year as they were last year, but I still look for them to finish strong after the all-star break. I do see the Raptors as a surprise as Chris Bosh is pretty much carrying the team with no help. Memphis didn't surprise me so much as they did speed up the schedule. Quality big man in Marc Gasol, quality guard in OJ Mayo. It was just a matter of time anyway. Joe Johnson was a strong 2nd option in Phoenix, but now that he runs the show in Atlanta, he really has shown that he can hoop with the best of them. Dallas being the second best team in the west right now, I see the Lakers sailing to another Finals appearance. That said, I think watching the east playoffs up until the finals should be more fun to watch.
Cavs Fan Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I always thought the Bobcats could be a good team. Gerald Wallace is a beast and Stephen Jackson is Stephen Jackson. Raymond Felton is also pretty good. The Thunder are also a good young team. Velvet Hoop is a beast.

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 ^Though I doubt it'll happen, it wouldn't be a shocker if it did. I've seen wierder thing happen in sports.
CoasterBoyJosh Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Lebron is a God and I hate you Joakim Noah... Barf. Go Cavs!!
themeparkman25 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Without George Karl on the bench, the Nuggets are as good as done. Dantley will make a great coach someday, but his demeanor and poise just don't fit the cast of characters that is the Denver Nuggets. Good run boys, but really, best of luck to the continual recovery of George Karl. Miss you big guy!
Dr.Shadey Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Any other Celtics fans on here? I've been a die-hard since before we were any good. I'm hoping to see a Celtics v. Cavs matchup this postseason

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 ^Yea...they didn't even put up much of a fight. To me, I don't see how L.A. is as good as they are. They are capable, but inconsistent. This series with Utah shouldn't go more than 5 games, but I have a feeling it's going all 7.

This series with Utah shouldn't go more than 5 games, but I have a feeling it's going all 7. my Jazz put up a good fight yesterday, staples center has not been their friend the past few years, if they win game 2 the series takes on a totally different look, I hope they can pull the upset, but i don't know if it will happen.
BeemerBoy Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Any other Celtics fans on here? I've been a die-hard since before we were any good. Yes.
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Oh basketball gods, please let the Celtics dispose of the most overhyped player in professional sports history tonight.
