Holy crap, looks like Balta was right, Pacers do have another gear. Hope they can do this three more times.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 16, 2014 -> 11:45 AM) So basically what everybody knew when DRose got hurt. DRose healthy weren't taking this Heat team down, need one more legit scorer, so no.

I said it during the first round that only SA, MIA and OKC really have a legit shot at the title and there they are. SA wins it if the get to the Finals, OKC loses to Miami in the Finals and Indiana ain't beating Miami (God I hope I'm wrong but if you have to rely on Hibbert, you're screwed).

I don't like complaining about the refs but goddam do they let LeBron/Heat get away with murder and if you do the same to them, it's a foul. F*ck Joey Crawford and those idiot refs from last night.

I'm just saying that no team would be dumb enough to give up a chance to nab a franchise player for a HC, no matter how good the coach is. If there's a team goofy enough to do it, then we should do it, it's just not gonna happen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 14, 2014 -> 01:34 AM) I see with Van Gundy deal the NBA is starting to pay huge bucks to coaches again. 7 mill a year. Hmmm. Hey I have a question. There's talk in this college town that Bill Self will inevitably leave for the NBA, likely to coach the Thunder or Spurs. From afar, do you think a.) any team would love to have Self for 6-7 mill a year (he makes 5 here) and b.) do you think he's a good NBA coaching prospect. Or c.) do you think he's just another blah coach who won one national title and will fail in the NBA? Just wondering what you all think of Bill Self and NBA. For instance if the Bulls hired him if Thibs left would you be happy or furious? Who? Sorry I don't follow scrub basketball...

QUOTE (Boogua @ May 12, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) I think most people say what they think on here. They just don't think things like that. Or the hyperbole he employs to relay such thoughts.

QUOTE (Boogua @ May 12, 2014 -> 12:17 PM) Something has to happen again. It always does for Miami. I'm going to guess Parker gets hurt soon or in the finals (like he did last year). Probably...BTW, wasn't J4L talking up Beasley and Oden as dfference makers when the Heat acquired them? Lol

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 12, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) The Spurs are dialed, buddy. If Tony stays healthy, nobody's beating them this year. Yeah and Manu hasn't been useless like last year. The Spurs look better and I still think Miami is worse than last year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Would he profile as more of a big/power RB? He better be able to break tackles being that slow.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 9, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) Pure run stuffer offers nothing as a pass rusher. This guy could of been picked Saturday. I'm now offically depressed...

I just noticed Tex posted this on Sept of last year, lol. I wonder if he went through with it.

I had surgery a couple of months ago, I would do it again. I've worn glasses or contacts since I was about 12 years old, I'm in my mid 40s now and it's just so awesome to wake up to perfect vision. My eyesight was pretty bad too and now I don't need to worry about contacts or glasses. The price of the surgery was pretty cheap too, it was 5,500 pesos, which is about $440 US dollars, had my surgery done in San Luis Potosi, Mexico with a very reputable eye doctor. On the day of the surgery, we drove from Queretaro to SLP (about a two hour drive), got there around 9 in the morning, they ran a few tests and had some eye drops put in my eyes and the doctor told me to come back in a couple of hours for my surgery, the tests took about half an hour so me and my family went to get breakfast at a restaurant and took in some sights, well they did, I was as blind as a bat since you can't wear contacts or glasses during this period. Got back around noon, got prepped for the surgery and was in and out in an hour. Surgery takes about 3-4 minutes per eye. It's only natural you get nervous but just try to relax. It wasn't painful at all. My eyes felt dry afterwards but the doctor gave me some eye drops for that. No issues since then and I'm 100% satisfied with the results. Tex, I highly recommend it, hopefully you have insurance covering that, you shouldn't be paying upwards of a thousand bucks if you can get that procedure done at more than half the price just south of the border, IMO. PM me if you want more info on where I got my surgery, this doctor has a very good reputation, there was another couple from the US in the waiting room so obviously the word gotten around. He also has a clinic in Monterrey, that's only a couple of hours from the Texas/US border, too.

Meanwhile, old washed up Drew Gooden played the same anount of minutes that Hibbert played and got 12 pts and 13 rebs...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Pistons in '04? Heat in '06? Mavs in '11? Ok, maybe the word never was too strong but it happens the least of the four major sports. The Grizz continue to hang around but fully expect OKC to pull away in the 2nd half.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:18 PM) You're kidding, right? In what individual year/s in the 90's did the league have 5, let alone 10, teams with a legitimate shot at a title? The 80's was even worse. If you don't like today's ball, fine. But don't say parity is a reason. In that case, the nba has sucked since the 70's. I realize parity in the NBA has been fiction for a long time. I was just kinda making fun of your whole "the NBA today is da greatest eva" comment. Yeah it's a cool story of all these first round 7 game series but we all know only two or three teams really have a real shot at the title. When's the last time a surprise team no one expected to win won it all? That happens in the NFL, MLB and NHL quite frequently, never in the NBA.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 2, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) But the NBA sucks today. We need to go back to this - http://www.basketball-reference.com/playof...CF.html#DET-IND You act like great basketball never existed before 2011 or something... And yet only either Miami, SA or OKC will win the title. No one else has a legit shot. The NBA produce easily the most predictable playoffs winners of the four major sports. But yeah, the NBA is da bestest...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 1, 2014 -> 05:21 PM) Want to know the difference between LeBron and KD? Pressure. One has more on him to win than any player in nba history. The other doesn't. Durant is on the verge of being bounced from the playoffs before he even gets his mvp award and it's not even a big deal. If this was LeBron all f***in' hell would be breaking loose. Let's pretend LeBron hasn't brought alot of it on himself, the guy who asked us to "Witness", calls himself King and predicted not 6, not 7...oh, and joined another top 5 player's team along with an All Star PF to stack the deck. Yeah, really feel sorry for poor LeBron

What a season by Atletico, pulling for them, El Cholo is my wife's all time fave player.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 07:38 AM) i see what you did there.... :usa More of this and it's getting moved to the Fili...

Going after player's relatives is weak sauce. I really dislike Boozer, can't say I "hate" him, don't know the guy personally but yeah, hopefully we've seen the last of him in a Bulls uni. I'm really digging on Memphis, they got KD and Westbrook shook.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 12:38 PM) He's 85, but has always looked MUCH older. He was only 44 when he played the elderly Fr. Merrin in "The Exorcist." Holy crap, only 44??? Easily looked 70 in that movie.

Gotta feel bad for Clippers fans. All those years of being terrible and forever second to the Lakers in Los Angeles, now they have a legit team and they can't even enjoy the playoffs without all this Sterling BS.
