The nba should be embarrassed at this ref job

Miami is just trying to intimidate the Bulls. Funny thing is I don't think it's working, the bulls just are having a terrible offensive night plus the refs let it get out of hand

Daquan Cook was known for his outside shooting, right?

Just sit Boozer already. He obviously isn't interested

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 8, 2013 -> 07:16 PM) I think KC Johnson tweeted that earlier. I think that was just regular season stats tho. No, me and Quinarvy disagreed in game 1 when I said that Boozer is terrible against the heat in the postseason. He told me I can't use 2011 as a barometer because the heat are a different team, which I disagreed with

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 8, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) GG BOOZER WOW But Boozer was good against the heat this season. Right Quin?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 8, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) Yea, but that's like just saying that Rollie Fingers has a mustache. No, he has a "handlebar" mustache. Sure it is a mustache, but you gotta be a little more specific. For example wite, you dont merely have a Mullet. Specifically you have a northern mullet, which also incorporates a half grown mustache and steps shaved in the side of your head.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 8, 2013 -> 07:58 AM) See, I never really got into comic books. I think I have owned less than 10 in my life. So, to me, every movie is its own thing. I might read up to get the historical background, but it doesnt influence my thoughts on the movie. The funny thing about comics is the source material changes, so it never bothers me when movies play with it. Iron Man in the movies has a few quirks that are unique to the movie and not comics

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2013 -> 09:58 PM) One thing's for sure, we won't see Thomas Jane or Nicolas Cage anymore. Ben Affleck, with his career on the ascent again...that would be an interesting choice for him to go back into the comic genre. You could easily see him deciding to part ways with that role and move on, though. The actor in DREDD, not the Stallone version but the one that came out last year...I think he would be a good candidate, Karl Urban. That movie was actually very good, even if most people didn't see it. With the right marketing machine behind it... I wouldn't be so sure about Thomas Jane, he was actually given praise for his depiction of Frank Castle. I think Cage worked his way out of any comic book movie for the rest of his life. He just is too corny anymore

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2013 -> 09:43 PM) The 'Avengers' Bump: What Do 'Thor' & 'Captain America' Sequels Stand to Gain in the Wake of 'Iron Man 3'? ADD COMMENT ON MAY 07, 2013 BY SHAWN ROBBINS PRINT As the industry watches the incredible global success of Iron Man 3, we now know that last year's phenomenal reception of The Avengers had a big hand in increasing the domestic and overseas appeal of another Tony Stark-led sequel. For instance, 2010's Iron Man 2 took in $312.1 million stateside and $310 million in foreign markets. With the triple-whammy combo of increased Avengers interest, further expanding markets, and premium 3D prices, Iron Man 3 is already at $506 million overseas--and counting. In fact, the film is on pace to exceed The Avengers' box office receipts in many Asian markets. Domestically, Iron Man 3 exceeded the number of tickets sold by Iron Man 2 on opening weekend after accounting for inflation and 3D prices. That's a fairly rare feat among second sequels whose predecessors (Iron Man 2, in this case) aren't as well-liked as the original film. With a clear path toward at least $1.1 billion worldwide (and likely more), Iron Man 3 is setting a high standard for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe installments. None will be tested sooner than Thor: The Dark World, releasing this November. Domestically, that sequel has a good shot at the first Thor's $181 million in 2011--but being regarded as an event nearly as large as Iron Man 3 still seems a herculean task. Why? Two words: Catching Fire. Lionsgate's surefire hit opens just 14 days after Thor 2 on November 22. That said, the first Hunger Games movie wasn't quite as big of a monster hit overseas as it was in North America last year. If the status quo remains there, that gives Thor: The Dark World a foreign advantage--a very important one these days. 2011's Thor grossed $265 million overseas (itself an impressive number at the time). If the success of The Avengers and Iron Man 3 really are indicative of expanding foreign interest in the comic book genre (something recently shown by Chris Nolan's Dark Knight sequels), The Dark World may stand to gain quite a bit on it's predecessor. Beyond Thor, the next sequel will be 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That film has opted for an April release next year (for now, anyway). As the lowest grossing of the three major solo Avengers (we're excluding Hulk since his solo movies have ended for the foreseeable future), a large increase over the sequel's $367.7 million global tally isn't likely... yet. The nature of that character's obvious domestic appeal puts more importance on the North American performance, and getting a jump on the summer schedule next year isn't a bad strategy on how to tackle that. Then, in August 2014, comes Guardians of the Galaxy. This will be Marvel's most potentially esoteric adaptation yet, but their track record is hard to dispute. With a complete cast of new characters and new cosmic settings, forecasting its box office potential is simply out of the question for now. It's a complete wild card. There are two factors to remember with the core sequels, though. #1: Iron Man 3 was the first in its series to be released in 3D. While The Dark World and The Winter Soldier still stand to gain from the success of The Avengers, their predecessors were already released in 3D in 2011. In other words, expecting a 200-250 percent increase in foreign grosses (as will ultimately be enjoyed by Iron Man 3 over Iron Man 2) seems highly unlikely for those two. The second factor: the law of diminishing returns. As the first post-Avengers movie, it cannot be ruled out that Iron Man 3 stood far more to gain than any of the other solo films will. Nevertheless, both the Thor and Captain America sequels will still be major global players. The $758 million global take of an established A-list property like The Amazing Spider-Man might not even be out of the question for one (or both). Will $1 billion be in either of their futures? It seems unlikely, but Iron Man 3 has taught us to never say never. Ultimately, as it follows a $1.5 billion-grossing 2012 phenomenon, Marvel's The Avengers 2 is well-positioned to conquer the box office again two years from now. That much we can take to the bank. boxoffice.com Marvel also reacquired the rights to The Punisher, DareDevil, and Ghostrider. Disney has turned Marvel into an absolute powerhouse

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2013 -> 09:13 PM) Chris Evans just doesn't have a strong enough personality. In some respects, it's the part or role. He's supposed to represent "everyman" and be a character that guys like Downey and Ruffalo would play off against, the "straight guy." OTOH, when he's trying to carry the movie all by himself...it can drag...Tommie Lee Jones, to me, was a more poignant presence in that film, of even the scene-stealing Hugo Weaving overacting as the villain. I couldn't disagree more, I think Evans played Captain America perfectly.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 7, 2013 -> 09:58 AM) Hinrich on Chalmers, Butler on Wade, Deng on James, Noah on Bosh, That is a great d lineup against the heat. Hinrich is a luxury at that point on chalmers (likely will get butler some rest since you can do hinrich on wade and keep nrob in game vs. Chalmers). Really hope Bosh can stay cold from 3. Heat become much easier to defend when that s*** isn't working. Honestly I had no idea why Bosh was even taking 3s last night. He hit 21 out of 74 threes this season, it isnt like he is a guy that has a ton of success from that range.

Heading out to the Blue Oyster, see you all later!

The Heat f***ing gave up after Lebron missed that shot. Gave up.

I just have no appropriate words for this team

What an absolute slugfest
