It's got to be Detroit and Cleveland.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) All I can think of is that someone missed an assignment. No coach made that play call. A coach did decide he wanted Tyler Hansbrough on the court in a defensive situation instead of Roy Hibbert.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 23, 2013 -> 09:41 AM) Part of me wants the game to start right now, part of me doesn't want it to start for a long time. Yes. I think your HawkVision avy is bad luck.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 23, 2013 -> 08:59 AM) I think the point was that people are more excited about the controller than the console, and that IS surprising. Who cares about the control? So long as it doesn't totally suck and it's functional it'll get the job done. Remember the original XBOX controller? That f***er was a monster!!! (the big daddy on the left) The modified (right) was a thing of beauty. Many an evening playing Halo/Halo2/MVP 2005 online with that motherf***er.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2013 -> 08:37 AM) There are 2.2 seconds left. You have to run a double team at him. Hell use the inbounds defender to run at him to try to keep him from catching the ball first, but then immediately double teaming. All you have to do is kill 2.2 seconds. Embarrassingly bad. Exactly - no reason not to double team him - Wade was out for Christ's sake.

They are sh!t baseball players.

They are sh!t.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 23, 2013 -> 08:23 AM) I might have to grab a flask and start drinking at work to calm my nerves already. This is a good idea.

Danks has worked his ass off to get back - here's hoping he can get back to being a solid starter in the bigs. Starting against the Marlins can't hurt.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 22, 2013 -> 05:51 PM) For me, no matter if I have Macafee or Symnatec, my Dell is always getting trojans and things are breaking down for me. casually. Why would you use either of those programs? They're basically viruses themselves. Microsoft Security Essentials is free and better than either of them.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 22, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) I didn't like Dell anymore either so I switched over to Lenovo. Love my Thinkpad. Same thing on Dell - Acer is where I'm at and I love it - even with Windows 8.

This game is going to be nerve-racking. I just hope they get out to an early lead and pile on so I can not be freaking out.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) Time for a delicious LeBron choke. Or not. What the f*** was that defense. F*ck it all. Goodnight.

Time for a delicious LeBron choke.

Wade committed like 18 fouls on that final possession - they had no choice but to call that.

George Hill defending LeBron James with no help. I'd rather watch Derrick Rose's leg explode again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) for its product, is it ever justifiable for that business to blame the consumers for the non-performance of whatever product or service they are selling? The reason I bring this up is because I was wracking my brain for an example. It has been commonly accepted by many at different Sox websites that the team is justified in not spending money at the deadline or in the off-season (if the Sox will be spending more money than they've earned or are projected to earn...of course, we've never been privy to that actual information, other than making educated guesses from Forbes, comments made by the organization, etc.) Obviously, last year, the team was in first place and the moves for Youkilis, Liriano and Myers were logical and didn't cost a boatload of talent or money. But this season presents a different twist, and there are even more needs to make a legitimate argument about finishing with an 87-91 win team. Not only that, but we're in a quandary about long-term development vs. competing in the short term, and we're in a precarious position trading away what prospects we do have for the 10-15-20% chance of having a playoff team this year, albeit one with quite a few flaws. At any rate, I couldn't think of any business or product where the response of the market was "tepid" and the management/ownership group didn't change the people in charge of marketing that aforementioned product. The only examples I could think of were non-profits/NGO's/501-c-3's (obviously different than for-profits) who were all competing for donation dollars....and many go out of business or simply disappear. However, you can't "sell" a non-profit for $1 billion dollars or take out excess revenues from the budget for the Board of Directors without incurring legal and IRS penalties. So other than the White Sox, is there is any other business or product that we can name where the consumers (or fans) are blamed for the failure or shrinking revenues derived from that product? And where the marketing team in place hasn't been changed...perpetuating the notion that it's the consumers' (fans) fault and not the operational model of the business itself? What business would be smart to change the marketing message prior to fixing the product itself? You can market all you want, at the end there has to be a product worth selling.

There is nothing worse on this planet than the Miami Heat. That includes F5 tornadoes.
