The Celtics were a bad playoff team with Antoine?? Did you not notice that they made the f***ing conference finals with him?? What the f*** did they do this year without him, and without O'Brien and E and Batman and Delk? They got ass-raped by the f***ing Pacers, the same team they beat last year with all those people. What was their record before, during, and after O'Brien?? Huh?? Give me the f***ing numbers you little ignorant b****. Future all-star Ricky Davis? Are you snorting coke you f***ing moron? Where are you getting this s*** from? LaFrentz can shoot? Great, another tall white stiff to camp out on the 3 point line and not play defense or rebound. Danny Ainge is a f***ing joke of a general manager and I can't believe are swallowing the stupid bulls*** he feeds you about brain-types and all that retarded crap. He's a moron, he has turned a team that competed for the conference the past few years into a f***ing mockery.

1. Kobe 2. T-Mac 3. Pierce 4. Iverson 5. Ray Allen 6. Vince Carter 7. Michael Finley 8. Allan Houston 9. Michael Redd 10. Rip Hamilton

Running off picks does not equal creating your own shot, and that's all Hamilton can do.

I hope you mean he's one of the top 5, not top 2. And I would even disagree with the top 5 commendation. Don't you have to be able to create your own shot in order to be a top 5 guard? Don't you have to play some defense? Anyone?

Hahahaha, good god. Do not go on pretending like you are an expert on the Cetlics because, really, you are pissing me off with your poserness. How the f*** can you say that trading Antoine was a good move? LaFrentz played like 12 games and broke down. He's a stiff. Welsch is alright but he's not nearly as good as Antoine (he was an all-star, remember?). And yeah we really "stole" Chris Mihm and Ricky Davis from the Cavs. All we had to give up was the freaking backbone of the team and the only low-post presence we had at the time (Blount came into his own later on, but that's beside the point, he is leaving anyway). Battie and Williams were what held the team together. Did you not notice how after they were traded, O'Brien (the best coach they've had in a long, long time) quit, and the team proceeded to lose like 12 games in a row. Mihm plays hard but he plays dumb. He always has to sit entire quarters at a time because of foul trouble, and it's hard to be effective from the bench. Davis is average, he just looked like something this year because everyone else was so terrible. Pierce may very well be on his way out, and I don't blame him for wanting out. You take Antoine, E, and Batman off of that team and all of a sudden Pierce has to do everything, which is why he played so poorly. They made him wear too many hats last year and his game, and the team, suffered.

hmm good point, im gonna split it off. well this poll is messed up but we all know who won anyway.

Hmm, now I see why you didn't make it a poll. Well anyway I edited the old one, now they are back to 0.

I made it into a poll, everyone who voted just make it official up there I guess.

Yes, I would agree with that thesis. I hope this helps.

Are you kidding me? That was a ridiculous shot, he had 4 inches of room to put that puck in and he got it done. To call that a weak goal is assanine.

That was a crazy game, too close for comfort. The Flames had tons of chances and Tampa got a cheap goal from St. Louis. Awesome goal by Goaleg though, he was makin stuff happen all game. Gotta wrap it up in the Saddledome

Brockton is just bad news in general.

way to jinx him.

No there was plenty of bad offense. Airballs on three pointers, turnovers, did you see how many missed layups there were? It was good defense, but against terrible offense. The Lakers managed to score points against maybe the best defense in the league, San Antonio. The difference is, neither Indiana nor Detroit has a pure scorer that can create his own shot. Everyone needs back-screens, hi-low, pick-and-roll set plays to even get open. And then when they take the 14 second to run these plays, they can't even hit the shot. The most points the Pacers scored in a game during this series was 85 in Game 3, when they went small and played more of the transition game. Transition works better when you don't have a scorer, which is why the Nets have been so successful the past few years.

I love the Twilight Zone (the OLD Twilight Zone, Serling-style), though the box sets were always out of my price range. My favorite one, the most memorable one would probably be "The Obsolete Man", where a librarian in the future who is deemed obsolete is sentenced to death. He sits in his room waiting for death and when one of the officials comes in the librarian just f***s with him big-time. Really good episode. Other good ones, "Walking Distance", where the guy pulls into a gas station to have his car fixed, walks down the road and winds up in his hometown 30 years before, when he was a kid. "People Are Alike All Over" is really neat, when the astronauts land on Mars, and only one survives, the Martians take him and build him a house just like he had on Earth, only a little caged in. Other good ones; "Eye of the Beholder", "A Penny for Your Thoughts", and "The Howling Man" (really, really good). The two most famous are probably "Nightmare at 20,000 feet", and "Time Enough at Last", neither of which I have been able to catch. But both have been parodied by the Simpsons halloween specials along with tons of others. However, Sci-Fi channel always runs a marathon on the Fourth of July so hopefully I can see those and alot more that day

Ah I would say yes. The wolves part, that was the only glaring weakness I saw. It's cool to see all the weather-related stuff happen, and if you just wanna sit back and take in the carnage I think it's worth it. That's how I went into the movie, anyhow, and in that way it followed through. I think people are getting too critical of the plot, it kept me interested, it was just the way people acted within it that distracted me. When the antagonist is the weather, there's not really much you can have the lead characters do as far as resolving the conflicts. I mean, it's weather, there's no panacea to suddenly reverse its effects. It's not even like in Armageddon where they could cook up some wacky excursion to land on an asteroid and blow it up. It also stays pretty linear, not a ton of side-stories, which I thought was good. And there wasn't a new catastrophe every five seconds throughout the whole movie, only in the beginning really, which allows for some good dialogue once in a while. But if you are going soley to see things get destroyed, then you picked the right movie.

By the way, the CGI on those wolves was terrible.

Fighting is definitely part of Iggy's game. He fought Ohlund in the Vancouver series, he kicked Hatcher's ass in the Detroit series, and he went after Stuart against San Jose. He's not afraid to throw down. If Roy tries anything in game five he'll have Oliwa or Simon all over him.

No you're not really rubbing it in. It was a decent game. But it was basically given to the Ning right there with the 5 on 3. The first goal in this series is huge, it allows the team who scores to control the tempo. Niemmenan's penalty was stupid at the time he did it. I don't know if I disagree with the call they made there, but the Clarke one just fired me up. The Flames actually play better on the road though, and this will be the fourth time they've gone on the road for a Game 5 tied 2-2. They won the first three. I would expect some retaliation from the Ning for Ville's hit also. It should be interesting.

What a bulls*** game. Flames were robbed. That 2 minute 5 on 3 was total crap, the Commodore penalty I could see but the one with Clarke should have been a double minor or nothing. :fyou Fraser

Maybe you don't know s*** about him.

I liked it but goddamn people acted like morons. There were like four tornadoes flying around L.A. and the people were just standing and watching. Two feet of water flood New York and people are still driving in it, other people are walking toward the ocean? It takes a tidal wave to get them to turn around. Then when Gyllenhall says his dad is a climatologist for the government, nobody even listens to him. If someone says their dad is a climatologist for the government, I'm gonna at least listen to what he says. And the Vice President was obviously supposed to look like Cheney; his character pissed me off. The president actually looked a lot like Al Gore, maybe it was a little wishful thinking on Hollywood's part. I didn't mind the movie, it was a good popcorn movie. Fun to see the waves carrying buses through cities etc, but it could have been a lot better movie.

I think you mean, Oklahoma St. are Big 12 champions.

Make it smaller so it doesn't take up half the browser window.

Seattle was a Guardado hold away from taking two of three at Fenway, so they are not playing too poorly. Ichiro has really started to get it together lately too.
