the character was based off of him but it was not really a movie about him.

Good job cutting your losses t-wolves. No use wasting 2 years on a coach you know doesn't work.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Do they say that? I'd have to ask. I'd imagine my friends would say "what's the difference? criminals have/use guns they're not supposed to have. Doesn't stop them from shooting at us now." Well their representatives have not said that.

I think an interesting part of the gun debate, is that people who take the word of policeman in regards to drug policies (keeping them illegal), ignore policeman's recommendations when it comes to concealed carry. And vice versa.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) I'm watching the 2001 NBA Draft on NBATV and it's simply depressing. Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler. Yuck. I remember I wanted Loren Woods in the 2nd round SO bad and we took Sean Lampley. Not than Woods was any good either. haha, me too, so bad. I remember thinking woods was good enough that it was like the twolves didn't lose a first round pick.

To sell, or not to sell?
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) If somebody was willing to give me $11,000 for a piece of paper I would sell it in an instant. Especially if I need the money to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. Whether I am black, white, orange, purple, etc... shouldn't really matter. truth. A handwritten letter from a president would definitely be something I'd like to keep for my kids and kids kids, but if it meant even a year of tuition i'd probably sell it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) Oof, that's such a slap in the face to Nash. Send the poor guy to a contender. He's given the Suns franchise how many years? And good years at that. Article doesn't establish if it was anything more than twolves asking for nash and the suns declining.

2011-2012 OFFICIAL NBA LOCKOUT thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) True about his injury history. But the Lakers have probably a 1-2 year window in which to win another title while Kobe is still a top 5-ish player. He'll be 33 when next season starts and he's clearly not the player he was just a few years ago. No player they can take at #2 in this draft offers them more upside in the short-term than a healthy Bynum does. I think both are true but a center has a lot of value. Are there instances of a very injury prone player early in their career overcoming those and providing a stable 6 prime years?

2011-2012 OFFICIAL NBA LOCKOUT thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) The Lakers would never do that. They've refused to part with Bynum for guys like KG and Melo. Isn't Bynum, like, 22 or 23? He's one of the few 'true' centers left in the game. Right. Plus the #2 of this draft is just not that exciting.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Then you know Kahn takes Irving. I think the Williams route might be smarter for the Cavs. Then tehy can go and get a PG with the #4 pick. It probably won't be Irving, but Kemba Walker + Williams might be better than Irving + somebody else. Right.

I didn't claim it was original, but the use of babybell actually created a stretchy cheese in the middle rather than a melted goopy mess. It was the most perfect thing anyone has ever created. We all may kill ourselves.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) And this decision created a new one based on Scalia's gut. The official standard right now, in clear, unambiguous legal terms, from the mind of Justice Scalia, is that class action qualification requires "some glue holding the alleged reasons for all those decisions together.” I'll await your official legal definition of "some glue". this was a unanimous decision.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) I think the analysis linked explained the how and why and the split better than I could summarize. Class action suits have been hit pretty hard recently by this court. eta: I'm not really sure if this is a bad decision, though. The case would be very, very hard to prove with such a large class with a wide range of claims. I mean, ethically, yeah, I'd like to see terrible companies like Walmart pay through the nose for their terrible business practices, but I don't know that this lawsuit and the way it was structured was really legit. eta2: but they also upheld the class cert. in the California prison case over Scalia's ranting and fire-and-brimstone predictions. I agree. I don't think this is an outrageous decision, this was not a homogenous 1.5 million claims.
