QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 09:01 PM) Indians lose. Sox have the best record in the AL (tied with 5). Nationals only team in baseball 3-0. They go to Cincinnati. Hopefully they lose this weekend before they play the Sox. I don't want them to become a story at 7-0, 8-0, etc. ok let me get this straight. You hope the Nationals, an NL team, lose a game this weekend before they play the Sox out of fear that they'll become a national (ala the Heat winning streak?) story and the Sox, I guess, get overwhelmed and not be able to handle the pressure? #WhatThef***???

Watching Denver is better than drunk White Castle binging. They might be (with Lawson healthy) the most athletic team ever.

Good win. I gots to give it up for Boozer. He's had a pretty damn good year (for him). With that said, I still want him gone ASAP.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 05:26 PM) THE MARLINS SCORED A RUN!!!!! ONLY TOOK 3 GAMES!!!!!! Poor Mike Stanton. I feel for that dude. And I know the Marlins, along with the Astros, are above and beyond terrible, but the Nationals are just nice. They might've won it all last year had they not shut Stras down. Full year of Stras and Harper is not going to be very fun for the NL. #nos***Sherlock

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) After winning two games and losing one, I always feel like I won two games and lost one. DET will switch places with you if you hate it. Smart ass remarks not necessary. I realize winning two of three is winning two of three. Just one of many things that shouldn't bother me but does.

I really, really, really hate winning the first two games of a 3-gamer and dropping that last one. I really, really do. I'd rather win one, lose one, win one, or lose one, win two. We used to do this with the Cubs all the f***ing time and I hated it.

QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:09 PM) Clocks always do. Whenever I look at the clock at work, and I see 9:44, I usually say to myself "Oh, its Nine-Peavy", or 10:14 is "Ten-Konerko" and so on. This is extremely weird if true.

The Yankees are awful. I know they're banged up. But that's because they're old as f***. Easily their worst roster since, like, 1993.

lol. Damn. Don't mess with Felix.

I have thoroughly enjoyed White Sox baseball through 2 games.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) I so don't want to hear about what is a good topic again... Did I create a thread? Did I initiate the current discussion? Nope.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:52 PM) You considered KAJ and Bill Russell to be from the same era and Russell retired before KAJ debuted. Whatever. I don't give a s*** about that garbage era. I got the years mixed up. So what.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) You said "Jordan retires and your next great SG is who" It was pretty self-evidently Kobe unless you were making some entirely different point. Well, he did retire twice. You automatically assumed I meant after '98. But I still don't consider them to be from the same era. That would be like lumping Dr. J and MJ into the same era.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:44 PM) Please don't make me defend Kobe Bryant. I'm begging you. c'mon now. I know michael was still in the league when kobe arrived, but i don't consider them from the same era.

Point is the way everyone attacks the C position today, it's just as easy to attack perimeter players back in the 90's. Jordan retires and your next best sg is who? Mitch Richmond? Reggie Miller? Pg, you had gary payton, stockton and um? SF you had pippen, hill and then, um? Yeah. It was pretty thin back then.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:34 PM) Just stop. Your arguments are all pretty much wrong. You have a problem with 60s era NBA? Ok, that's fine. Bunch of white fools with short shorts who sucked and no three point line to leverage them. Beyond that, you're making a fool of yourself. Your source contacted me and said otherwise.

Proof that the league as a whole is better today than in the 90's. I present to you the 1994 all-stars. Behold. http://www.basketball-reference.com/allstar/NBA_1994.html I can't even believe my eyes. B.J. armstrong? Mookie Blaylock? Kenny Anderson? Cliff Robinson? Horace Grant? John Starks?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:16 PM) Handchecking has been guarded against in various forms since the 70s. That said, it was further clarified and became the present day force it is with regards to changing the game in 2004. Whatever. It was supposed to be enforced in I believe '95 because everybody was tired of thug ball (pistons/knicks) that had taken over the nba. This along with shortening the 3-point line to boost scoring.

Gmab. Defensive 3 seconds were like handchecking rules during the 90's. Everybody talks about handchecking today. Handdchecking was implemented back in '94 or '95. They just didn't enforce it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:06 PM) well, here it is. This s*** again. Thanks a lot mexsoxfan#1. You deserve all of the WNBA talk that you get Booqua started it. I saw right through that ruse. I had to reply.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 12:59 PM) .... You do realize that Mutombo averaged more blocks per game in 16 minutes per game at the age of 42 than Omer Asik is averaging at the age of 26 in 30 minutes per game, right? This was after the rule changes too. Maybe he was just a good shot blocker?!? Just a guess. Mutombo would not average 4.5/5 blocks or whatever it was a game if he were in his prime today. Defensive 3 seconds alone wouldn't allow it. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 01:01 PM) And the 80s? Obliterate? No. But he'd be just fine. The 80's is when the talent became legit.

Whatever. The 60's and 70's were the same s***. Dwight would obliterate either decade.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) lol, because Howard has an array of offensive moves... QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) Dwight's got nothing resembling a sophisticated post game or shot range. Nothing. At all. It's baffling. You didn't need it back then. There's this one guy, I won't mention his name, but it rhymes with Jill Tussell, that is considered to be one of the 10 best players of all time even though he's really not.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) Prime KAJ would demolish the league today, who gon' stop him? And a healthy Dwight Howard would average 35/15/10 back in Kareem's prime. What's your point?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) I get that but those guys wouldn't sniff top 5 quality big men in other eras though. All I'm saying is that we should have a plethora of quality big men if athletes are in fact much bigger faster and stronger...there wouldn't be any room for Chris Paul and Tony Parker if that were true, IMO. Sorry, it's a different game now. Centers aren't allowed to just camp out in the paint and block shots (Mutombo/Eaton). A big now has to be almost agile/athletic as a wing to get by today.
