What an awful quarter. So many chances to take over the game.

Loo, great finish to the half. Bulls should be down 25

Two really bad calls on boozer tonight

Howard is just abusing the Chicago bigs. Now 5/6 from the ft line

Magic shooting lights out. 6/7 from three . Oof

Wheat, chunky, toasted with jam over jelly

OK minutes was a bit of a stretch, but yes, I think any legitimate threat to air superiority would be wiped out rather "quickly." Call it a matter of days or weeks, but the end result is that it could be done with "minimal" US losses. The bigger concern is that Syria still has a stockpile of chemical and biological weapons. Who knows what they'd do if the regime felt threatened and on the edge of being ousted from power.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) We're also taking more risks here. Syria has five times the air defenses that Libya had at one fifth of the size of the country. It also has a better organized military. All of that could be taken out in a matter of minutes by long range missiles.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) H. Christ people. +10000. Who knew the NBA thread would be the nastiest one on this board. Back to basketball, I hope everyone boos this s*** out of Howard tonight. And that he has a terrible game and the Bulls destroy them by 30. And that Boozer just stands there screaming "HEY." 2 of those three will happen tonight. Guaranteed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) Oh man, if you could get that athletism and NOT taking that horrible jump shot? Squishy. He just seems like a big dummy though. Everyone else on the Bulls seems to understand what's going on on the court. I think Wilbon mentioned Nick Young and I just screamed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He's the same way.

Alright, just fire Weber now, refuse any invite to the NIT and get this season f***ing overwith.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) I don't understand how its such a struggle for the Illini to pass to Leonard. terrible guard play will do that to you.

I still have the 2 hours finale to go. Maybe I hold off and not waste my time if it's not coming back.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 01:50 AM) Probably because he's missed quite a few games. I don't see how you can go past Durant at this point (and yes I'm very anti LeBron here, which I always have been. ). He's shooting 50% from the field, up 3-4% from last season, and the Thunder are rolling. Time for him to get some much needed recognition, award wise. I guess that's what I hate about the MVP voting. Is Lebron having one of the best statistical seasons? Sure. But what's the definition of MVP? What happens to the Heat if he's gone? Oh, they still have two all-stars. Durant still has Westbrook (though he's deserving of an MVP too). Rose has nothing. I love Deng and Noah. But come on now. Rose takes over games. It's 1 on 5 sometimes and he still comes through. Lebron gets his stats in the first three quarters. Then he goes away to let someone else win the game. Like Mully said on the radio this morning, how can an MVP of the league be someone that's not the MVP of his own team? How can an MVP be a guy that refuses to put his team on this back in the 4th quarter? And let's be real here. If Rose got the calls he should be getting (like Lebron/Wade), he'd have at least another 6-8 pts per game. He gets hacked on every drive to the basket. He'd be averaging over 30 easy.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 09:24 PM) You could see Rose frantically looking for Haslem to dish it off to, but alas had to take it himself.

How is he not in the MVP discussion? damn.

Right, I know they cant, but they should be able to. MVP time here

Agreed, why can't they call that a foul. It was obvious

Lebron makes a great fast break play, ball behind his back, reverse layup. too bad he took 4 obvious steps. No travel.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) the one coming out of the toilet looks fake for sure, but the last one is a trapdoor spider, that is for real I guess I don't understand the physics of it. It looks like its entire body comes out, what's pulling him back underground?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 01:46 PM) The last two look fake.

Can't remember if if I've asked before if anyone has watched Downton Abbey? My wife and I are all up to date (through the xmas "movie"). It's strangely addictive. It's a damn soap opera, but I liked the vast majority of it.

Thought this was interesting: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/0...tter_socialflow All of the shots taken in the NBA from 2006-2011. Proof of the lack of midrange game these days.

Are you being a strict textualist here? Now a fan of Scalia? I'm in agreement with Soxbadger. I think it's weak as s*** that the the governments of the world decided they couldn't face the people so they're hiding out in a compound. I'm confident the CPD and ISP were well prepared for the protests. They've got lots of history and video to look back on. Yes, it's sad that the G8 protestors resort to criminal acts, but that's the price we pay to be an open society.

Ugh, they're going to screw this up so bad. I want an updated simcity 4. I don't want some Sims version like the crap they put out a couple of years ago that was supposed to be the new direction for simcity. I want a simulation. That's the whole point of playing a city building game.
