QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 11:56 AM) It would have Sox choosing among both Rodon and Kolek and selecting Kolek. Making for a happy Rowand and angry everybody else.

We're going to win this game because Chris Sale is better than you.

Ya, this is one of those games where everything points to the Hawks winning so I got a gut feeling the Kings will win. Lets not let that happen please.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:53 AM) This. Those picking the Spurs are only doing so because they either hate the Heat or hate that LeBron is closing in on their hero. I haven't heard/read anything from the pro-Spurs crowd other than, "haha, the east sucks" and "homecourt, dude!". I've seen this movie before. Like Vogul said, LeBron is the Jordan of this era and the Heat are the Bulls of this era. Heat in 5. Or because they're just the better team. This obviously hinges on Parker not being dead but SA is just better than Miami this year. Spurs in 6 IF Parker is good to go. EDIT: BTW, even if Parker is completely broken the Heat still wont win in 5. Like I said before, you're absolutely insane to believe that.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 31, 2014 -> 12:20 PM) Zayn and Breeze was very good but because of Zayn. Breeze is a gimic to me. He's gotten better but still not in on him. Looked like Kidd-Neville was pretty awesome too?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) Even if it takes 7 games again, anyone really want to stand up and say either of the competitors will actually beat the Heat this time? I don't. I will. The Spurs or Thunder will beat the Heat this time.

I like the attitude but ya not happening.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) ok, I guess they can be the '98 jazz and stretch it to 6. But the Spurs are the same team from a year ago. There's nothing Pop can throw at LeBron that he didn't see last year. And like I said, Wade is healthy this time around. The plan they had coming in worked (helps that LeBron can carry the load in the reg season while Wade sits). You're just wrong here bud but no need to argue as we'll see. I think you're being blinded by the level of competition that the Heat have played so far in the playoffs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 30, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) Jesus. I expected at least a competitive game. Pacers had their chance last year when Wade was hobbled and Bosh was puttin' up boxscores of like 5 and 5. I'll be shocked if the finals goes more than 5 games. You're absolutely crazy.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2014 -> 09:27 AM) . The Heat are a much better playoff team now than they were last year. No they're not.

I have no where to put this so here: Scott Carroll ‏@Scotty_Carroll 15m What up @chancetherapper! I'm Scott the pitcher. Look forward to meeting you! Get that arm loose! #firstpitch

If someone were to make a list of the most valuable pitchers in baseball at the moment where would Q rank? 15? 20?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 30, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) 8:00 yet? It is not.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 29, 2014 -> 11:16 PM) I wonder if we end up drafting Rodon if we go with the aggressive route as an enticement to sign... That almost makes too much sense to be honest.

Ya Zayn is clearly ready for the big leagues but I don't mind them taking their time with him to actually set up a good program for him on Raw. Make it simple though, put the US Title on Cesaro and debut Zayn against him. Give them 15 or so minutes on a ppv and Zayn will instantly be over.

From what I've read Takeover might have been the best show of the year. I've seen a few clips and it looks like it was awesome.

No.

I bet game 6 goes to OKC semi easy. So we'll have a 3-3 series with none of the games being close.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 29, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) Going to watch tomorrow. Interesting cuz I haven't been impressed by Breeze yet but love Zayn. I get the feeling Zayn can pull a good match out of anyone. I haven't seen much of Breeze's ring work but his character seems interesting.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 29, 2014 -> 04:56 PM) "nope, AAAA material" to "hmm, might actually be a decent 5th starter". It's not much, but it's something. That's a big deal actually. I'm not sold on him yet but I do think there's a chance at least now that he's a major league starter. We'll see going forward.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 29, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) Yeah he was a really young pitcher that relied on sliders and horrible mechanics. To me every pitcher is TJ waiting to happen. I really try not to use "he's more likely to get hurt" as an argument to why I wouldn't draft a pitcher, you just never know.

No major gripes but are you basing this off of expectations or just their season in general? I feel a few guys you overrated just a tad because they're performing better than expectations.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 29, 2014 -> 07:16 AM) Monday's WWE RAW drew a year-low cable rating of 2.64. This was the lowest RAW rating since New Year's Eve 2012. I'm sure WWE will blame Bryan for this, but the writing is horrible and there are very, very few interesting stories going on. They are in such a holding pattern, it's ridiculous. Ratings have steadily dropped, and there's nothing to suggest that anything good is on the horizon. Bryan's segments have actually been the highest rated on the show for the most part. But ya, they'll probably give the credit for that to Steph/HHH and blame him somehow. I know it's still supposed to be a Bryan/Authority feud but sticking him with THE DEMON Kane has made for some awful television. Cena/Wyatt has had great potential but all the respect I've gained for Cena the last few years as a wrestler I've pretty much lost for him in this feud, he's been brutal. The Shield/Evolution is really the only good thing going at the moment. Some dude in Chicago who wears a Duncan Keith jersey a lot is probably loving this though.

I like Kolek the best but will be very happy with one of the top 3. I still never trust these random "sources" when people just throw that out there.

Nice to see Indiana keep this series going. The Pacers aren't going to win the series but it's nice that Miami wont get that much extra rest.
