Luongo just set the bar for all time screw ups with that last play.

That seemed like a cheap shot on Chara to me. Announcer was playing it off as incidental, but Im not sure thats accurate.

Last time I was at Bull & Bear Antoine Walker was there and it was slightly more crowded than I enjoy. A bar close by would be English which has 3 floors and therefore you can somewhat camp out on one of the floors. Are you mainly looking at River North (I ask because I only suggested English as its a block from Bull & Bear). (edit) And absolutely do not go to VIPs. Just get super drunk and go to the Admiral, drinking in a strip club does not offset pasties.

Stevenson wasnt driving so it really appears to be a non-issue.

By starting season 3 I meant that I finished the first 2 already.

Maybe in 6 months or so Ill be able to comment on Dr Who. Based on earlier comments I decided to load it up on the Netflix and Im starting season 3.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) D'OH!! Miami Newspaper Runs Ad Congratulating Heat For Winning Championship This ad. A lot of 3rd world countries receive donations of clothing that have the wrong winner. Generally the clothing is printed before the outcome is determined, so they give it away.

The ad about Miami winning makes me think that in some 3rd world country Lebron has been Champion twice now, and MJ never won one.

A sign and trade could happen if the Bulls were one of the few teams Dwight would go to and Orlando felt they had the best pieces. No idea if it will turn out that way, I dont think the Bulls need Howard to win, but they should definitely explore the possibility.

I really dislike Boozer so Im going to do whatever I can to get him off the Bulls.

Dwight is no Shaq, but hed still be a significant upgrade over Noah and Ive never liked Boozer so Id do anything to get rid of him. The only way the Bulls can make it happen would be to trade Boozer for hopefully something Orlando wants, and then put Noah + picks and whatever it takes. Barring that, I think the Bulls should try and move Boozer for a solid sg, and then use whatever picks they have left to take some shots on guards or forwards.

I can live with both Noah and Boozer being traded if the outcome results in Dwight. I dont think its going to happen though.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/ratings.cgi Basketball reference site has Russel at 6 and Olajuwon as 9 (not really much of a difference). I think you can argue Russell over Hakeem (Championships, intangibles, whatever), but Hakeem over Shaq? That just seems strange.

Game of Thrones has been great,Im glad I havent read the books or any spoilers.

I dont think you can say Lebron is uncoachable, its not like hes had an established coach. The problem with Spoelstra as the coach of the Heat is that he just doesnt have the experience to handle 2 superstars. It all comes down to Wade/Lebron, they are going to need to sit down and figure it out. One of them has to be the man, it just didnt seem to work having them both try and be it.

I dont think Riley is coming back. Miami needs a coach who has an offensive system that he can get them to play. The triangle offense wasnt spectacular, but it made the Bulls offense more than just whatever Jordan happened do that night. Spoelstra is just not polished enough to be given that type of talent.

Jenks, Dont get me wrong, Bosh did solid. I just cant imagine trading Lebron or Wade at this point, Riley would be admitting disaster after 1 year.

Larry played against better competition than Ruth, Magic, Jordan, etc. Id probably take the original dream team against any dream team in history, I would of course take Shaq over Laettner.

Youre just basking in the Dirkorade, which we are all allowed to do for the rest of this summer and perhaps through next year.

However the CBA works, they will get to keep Wade/Lebron, its Bosh thats up in the air. For all I said bad about Wade, he really stepped up in the finals, its just a question of Wade/Lebron playing that way together. It just doesnt seem to happen like it should. Losing Bosh could potentially even help them because they may not feel the need to force it a third guy. As long as they have Wade/Lebron Miami is going to be a nightmare team.

This may be one of Miami's weaker years, I think in the future you will see improvement. Lebron/Wade need to figure out how that team is going to run, because its clearly not functioning correctly.

Probably not, Miami was averaging in the 90s all playoffs and there was no real reason to believe that they would score 100+ each night. The statistics definitely suggested that Dallas should win this series, you just never know how its going to play out. Whether its Wade sucking against the Bulls or Lebron against the Mavericks, there are just very few times when all 3 of Miami's players + the bench click. Who knows why, but there offense has been limited and the only reason they beat the Bulls is that the Bulls shot terribly. Had the Bulls shot well, they probably beat Miami. It was silly to anoint Miami as an unstoppable team, because they just never played like it. There was a reason they werent the #1 seed and it comes down to offensive execution and the failure to utilize their players. Dallas was the better team for those 6 games, thats all that matters.

Balta, you arent even watching the games, how can you even take yourself seriously? As for Lebron, he didnt play well today, but thats not why Miami is losing. They are losing because Dallas shot better than Miami did and when you can shoot and the other team cant defend the three, you will win games. Its why I predicted Dallas by 6, so I guess I have no clue what Im talking about.

Right Buerhle I was trying to explain who I was exactly talking to (people posting before the game occurs) Ive clearly explained that, yet people want to cherry pick posts. It doesnt matter, i stand by what I said.

If Riley is coaching Im not sure Miami loses game 2, thats really where it all started to come apart for Miami. Up huge and to watch it slip away. Dallas just has a few more possessions to play decent, not even well, just cant do anything stupid and its right there.
