The way I look at it, if Viciedo tears it up and Rios goes into a funk(or, never escapes the one from last year), Viciedo will move up. If Rios has a good season, Robin was right, and if they both suck, it doesn't matter. I highly doubt Robin leaves it as is if Rios doesn't perform.

Illinois state is balls to the wall in this tournament. Jankovich has been great

There is no doubts about it, the Redbirds have played inspired ball through this tournament

Lin with 6 points, 6 turnovers, 2 assists. When do we find out what classes he took in 4th grade, ESPN?

And what has the world come to when Cena is about 100 times better than the Rock? Rock brought it on himself. If he wanted to avoid giving Cena some bulletin board material, he should try and show up more than once every 4 months

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 09:24 AM) That would be a shame since I believe both can make Sweet 16 runs. Creighton could get to the Elite 8 depending on the draw. It would be a shame. But, do you think it would happen?

Back to basketball thoughts, nothing to see here.... Donald Sterling is a human piece of trash

If Illinois State completes the improbably upset, Does WSU or Creighton get the shaft?

And yes, we are pretty hard on you. Sometimes you post some "i just drank a lot" opinions and people cannot refrain from replying. Sometimes you have opinions that are pretty far left of the norm. You dont back down from them, which is commendable, but sometimes the argument gets tired. Duke said what he said, and people said "you are nuts", and he didnt really say much else afterwards except to actually admit "yes, I am nuts". You, on the other hand, wouldnt say that. You would hunker down and argue the point to death, kind of like you did in the offseason when you argued that Kidd was still a superstar because Dallas didnt fit with your opinion that nowadays you need more than one star to win it all. It is what we expect from you. We all argue here, thats what we do. If you didnt notice when it happened, SS2K5 took a tremendous amount of heat for his Jordan comment. Sorry you feel he didnt, but it wasnt just you arguing that Jordan would be far more than merely average in the NBA today. I wont say a word about the Knicks again to you this season, i know it bugs you now, the point has been made.

LMAO. have another drink J4L

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 03:40 PM) Didnt think ILSt was gonna hang They kept it close when WSU has been whipping teams for the past month. It may have been a weak call, but I was impressed that they even had an opportunity with a minute left

IL State did more than hang

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) Yes. This. See, I'm not that bad. Kyle calls me out for, well, anything. But I agree totally here. And I want to throw in LeBron had two game winners against the Wizards in the 2006 playoffs. Yes, some of the criticism is legitimate. The other part is people still hating LeBron because of The Decision. If I called you out on anything I would be past SS2K5 in post count

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) I'd say in the last 30 seconds of the game, he's terrified. I don't know about that. Lebron has taken and made plenty of game winning shots, and he has missed plenty as well. So has Kobe. So did MJ. I think Lebron is starting to get a complex about the final minute, It seems as if he is over thinking it a lot and doing abnormal things. I agree with him, he can't win. I enjoy it because I want the Heat to fail and Bulls to get ahead because of it, but I think a lot of the talk about him in the final minute has been really overblown. I certainly don't think he is scared, though.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) At this point its pretty clear unselfishness is not why LeBron defaults himself in the 4th, its because he's scared. That's one thing you definitely do not want your superstar to be. Lebron is many things, I would not count "scared" as one of them.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 10:01 AM) But then you had the game 5 against the Pistons in '07 when he scored their last 29 or 30 points or whatever it was. He scored 45 against the Celtics in game 7 in '08. What about the game 2 miracle against the Magic in '09? And then the aforementioned Boston/Chicago series last year. He's had plenty of big game, clutch moments. It seems the criticism he is taking is about the last minute game winning shot situations, not his body of work through the 4th quarter.

An interesting take on Lebron by Deadspin

Kobe: I have had no rivals in my career, all I am doing is chasing history

GODDAMNIT ADAM DUNN STARTED PLAYING BOCCE BALL IN THE OFFSEASON AND SUCKED! THE SEASON IS OVER!!

Watching Lebrons postgame interview, it kind of looks like the criticism is starting to get to him.
