So improbable. I forgot how much I love watching Lebron lose. Jimmy butler man. Damn.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Mar 27, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) I keep hearing mention of this video from practice yesterday of Rose playing one on one and looking dominant. Not sure if I haven't seen the correct video, but in the one I have seen, it made me sick to my stomach watching him take jumper after jumper from the top of the key looking horrid with little explosion at all. I thought the same thing.

Time Out Chicago is going online only, most staff were laid off.

A good quote from Verrilli? My god.

I'd be disappointed if they don't decide on case, though I'm not sure what that truly means.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 25, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) Still wouldn't matter. Point is we've seen the best of kobe. There's no higher for him to go. He's no threat (never really was) to Michael. Michael knows this. But Lebron is most definitely a threat. 4 MVPs before age 29? That's too sick. Like dick said, if the heat win this year (they will), it's officially on. I was saying they'd never hit 80-2.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 25, 2013 -> 04:01 PM) Mike knows it too. His lame reasoning for choosing Kobe over LeBron ("5 beats 1") was so amatuer. A 10-year old could come up with that. It's way more complex. Imagine LeBron with early 2000's Shaq? lol. 80-2 every year. Naw, Shaq didn't care about regular season.

Wade and Bosh are great, but I still think Lebron would have won a championship last year if he stayed in cleveland. Andy has turned into a damn good player, and who knows who may have found their way there as well. Lebron is just the king of the league right now. He made his choice, his team is great, they are going to win for a long time. There's always a super team in the nba, this is their time.

I'm doing my countdown to the honeymoon. Headed to Curacao in late april. Very excited, not sure whether I want to make a bunch of plans now or just feel through it then. Anyone been?

I don't know why I haven't gotten into the NBA this year. Every story line I was interested in has busted. Lakers are not even entertaining, timberwolves got injure-killed, Philly, man I just can't believe how bad they are. Just not that fun a year to have your best player down with an ACL. I like watching the Nuggets though.

Bears sign James Anderson to one year deal, according to Sean Jensen

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 05:09 PM) This implies knowledge that trading Deng was doable -- we very well may not have gotten any offers for him, at least ones worth doing. It seems that GarPax were at least considering this idea. At this point, it seems logical to just stick with this squad as-is until Deng's contract runs out, at which point you'll have Rose-Noah-Taj-Butler-Teague left and a fair amount of salary space. Amnestying Boozer before next season, for instance, doesn't even get you under the salary cap. Joe Johnson and Rudy Gay were traded this year. Anything is possible.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 07:47 PM) If Ole Miss was good they beat Wisconsin by 30+. 15 of god damn 59 Youd think a HS team could do that. That is insane.

What were these suspensions over?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 11:58 PM) Yeah, good for him, she wasn't exactly a looker and she got paid millions for the "horrible pain" he put her through. This is a truly awful post.

Oh no! Drose said no instead of any and didn't add an ly when speaking! What a complete asshole!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) No, and I don't see that racial identification actually involves huge shades of grey. Obama is mixed-race, but he self-identifies and is identified by our society as black. UT's stated goal of diversity would be clearly advanced in that case. There's always the possibility of someone who's culturally and ethnically white but, say, 1/32 Hispanic ticking that box because they think it'll give them an edge that they need, but potential fringe issues like this are possible for any demographic group. Either way, he quickly and clearly told them how they get this data (applicants tell us on a form), and their follow-ups didn't actually go anywhere. If they have a problem with the concept of self-identification (and thus the entirety of demographics), they could have pursued that line of questioning without sounding so childishly naive. It's also just something that is allowed to be considered. It may also be unfair to this student that her school may have not had as many extracurricular options as other students, however, those are also allowed to be considered. Also LOL at being forced to pay to apply.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 07:51 PM) But isn't the SCOTUS' line of questioning relevant to that issue? If the school doesn't have a good way of determining who is a disadvantaged minority, or racial identification involves huge shades of grey, isn't that a big problem for the policy itself? I don't think so, no.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Picking a good shooting motion is important too. I'm really good with Durant and Nash. I've played about a bit more than one season in myPlayer and my guy can score at will in almost every way. Yeah i'm with Allen but it's almost too quick.

And windows has been rewarded with a windfall!

While writing may be subjective, I was impressed on AP tests how consistent our class would validate a paper with a 2, 3, 4, or 5.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:34 PM) I linked this similar-but-less-caustic article yesterday: This court seems likely to strike down Affirmative Action and, possibly, any policies that consider race with it as now and forever unconstitutional, and they'll probably gut the VRA, too. What a legacy. That's all fine and well, but it doesn't have this paragraph: "So having failed to work hard enough in high school to get into the University of Texas directly, Fisher was unwilling to do the work to win a transfer slot there. When will white people stop wallowing in their victim status and put some effort into improving themselves, like regular Americans do? It will be a shame if the Supreme Court chooses to reward this kind of dysfunctional identity politics."

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:20 PM) I've scored 104 and 98 with my guy in NBA 2k12. The key is - you have to take every single f***ing shot. And you have to get rid of it quickly too. I don't see any way it'll ever happen unless some dude takes like 30 foul shots in a game and makes almost all of them. Kobe is going to get as close as anybody will ever get. how come I suck so bad at NBA2K12?????

Did anyone read Tom Scocca's Gawker piece on affirmative action? Quality scocca trolling that (imo is also dead on, and i've felt that way since senior year when people were complaining about it). nvm, here it is: http://gawker.com/fisher-v%27-texas/ scared what path this may take us down.
