DBAHO

Boston and Denver lose their 1st game of the season tonight. The Celtics showed that they can be susceptible to good 3PT shooting teams. We also finally beat Detroit, in a pretty subpar effort.

Horseshoe? Are we talking about George Costanza's hair here? I'd want one of those Japanese Toilet Seats that says "I am honoured to accept your waste".

So I've got trojans, yippee, cngaudit.dll and Renos.JS are both infecting my system. I've looked around and it seems that Malwarebytes is the best solution, so I'm giving that a scan now. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this before and has any suggestions?

BWAHAHA @ Lebron James. You expect to get that call 100% of the time, even though you initiate the contact. Of course if that was Dwight Howard, a foul probably would have been called. But a very nice win for the Bulls, and the Cavs look the worse out of the big 3 right now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) The only dynamic he has been to this point is a dynamic bust. They thought he could have been the next Shawn Marion with his athletic ability, but Thomas just doesn't have that type of shooting touch. I'd like to see what he could do in PHX or with the Knicks though. In fact, I'd say he'll be wearing a Knicks jersey in 2011.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:37 PM) It could free up first base for a Dye resigning... I don't know if people would react well to that (especilly around here considering his 2nd half of the season). If Konerko goes, I have a feeling that KW is going to go hard after Adrian Gonzalez from the Padres, especially considering it's a pretty much a lock he'll get dealt for financial reasons this off-season.

Wow didn't expect to see this when I logged on today. Honestly not a big fan of this deal, and I think we can do better. Teahen's really tapered off offensively since his career year in 2006 with OPS's of .763, .715 and .734 over the past 3 seasons. He does have a .261/.325/.514 line at 138AB's in his career at the Cell though. But he's not really an OBP type of guy the Sox need to be adding to their lineup either. He usually K's about 125 times a season and gets about 40 or so walks. So I don't think he's THAT much of an upgrade on Getz, who'd you expect would get better, but maybe the Sox don't think so? The only way this makes sense for me if the Sox go after a Polanco type of second baseman, and use Teahen as a super utility infielder / outfielder possibly, because SS and 3B are set right now with Alexei and Beckham.

The Blazers basically had to pick Oden more out of need, as they didn't really have a dominant defensive big, and Aldridge is more of a PF anyways. But OKC sure is glad Durant dropped to them now I can tell you. We beat up on PHX tonight for an easy win. Minny almost beat Boston tonight also, going down 92-90.

Detroit's still our bogey team. Don't know what it is with them, Rip Hamilton didn't even play tonight. But our outside shooting was horrible. Ryan Anderson was something like 2-12 from the 3PT line. You shoot like that, you're not going to win simple as that.

Oh and those who wanted AI in the off-season, well he got 17 mins in his 1st outing against Sacramento and this was his reaction; Just sad really.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 12:26 AM) Yeah, its easy to talk s*** when you are standing behind hall of famers. And Rondo is just the low-life to do it. He's basically become the new Stephon Marbury of the NBA. And as soon as KG and Allen basically can't play at a high level anymore, it'll be interesting to see if they just have to dump Rondo when it's all said and done.

Interesting little exchange from Rondo and CP3;

QUOTE (knightd1 @ Nov 2, 2009 -> 08:12 AM) Maybe a dumb quention but why banned specifically? Strickly too violent? I not familiar with censorship laws in the land down under. (lol makes me think of that song....) Are other game such as GTAs' banned? We don't have a 18+ classification for video games; But I believe the problems were to do with the different weapons e.g chainsaws, and being able to do damage after you killed someone, or something like that. It's about the 4th - 5th game banned down here over the past 2-3 years. Jack Thompson would have a field day if he lived in Oz.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 03:30 AM) I've seen a good number of concerts, and one of the best shows I ever saw was the Foo Fighters at the Metro when they toured on the first album... they played one show there when they opened for Mike Watts, but this was their headline show... the place was packed and they really delivered. Saw them in Melbourne about a year and a half back, and they really put on a good show. Nothing beats My Hero from them IMO.

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) Except that he crossed it out and put a different wrong answer that was almost right. Alex didn't seem to like the joke. It wasn't something to do with Trebek's mother was it?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) It was nasty, but I still don't understand how the Spurs let it happen. That game was a real disappointment. Spurs are starting to show that they're pretty much an average team. They really struggle without Modric and Defoe.

Anyone see Fabregas' goal on the w/e vs. Tottenham? Magic.

Rondo re-signs with the Celtics for 5/55. Pretty good deal for both sides I'd say.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 2, 2009 -> 12:22 PM) It's really a shame that the Bulls did nothing to improve the talent level around D. Rose this season. What would you have done this off-season? It's not like FA was stacked with really big names or anything. And the Magic pick up an excellent 9 point win in Toronto with no Carter, Lewis or Pietrus and they still scored 126 points. This team is gonna be good this season, very good.

Nice solid win for the Cowboys today, Romo hasn't thrown an INT in 3 games now which is progress. Don't think we'll beat Philly in Philly next, but I'm a lot more confident about it than I was a few weeks ago. This team should get a wild-card spot, but then again, they could have another December meltdown.

L4D2 got banned down here, thank god for Torrents is all I'll say to that. Our classification and having to pay more for games etc. is one thing I really hate about living down under.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Nov 1, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) To be fair, Pau Gasol hasn't played for the Lakers yet. He's easily their second best player and gives them a pretty nasty frontcourt if both him and Bynum are healthy. Oh ya the Lakers will be fine. I think they signed Artest because he can guard either James or Pierce come the playoffs more than anything. But Ariza is probably going to be the better player for the next 5 years. And it looks like the Rockets may actually be competitive again this season without Yao. Of course our GM gave him up for Mo Evans and Brian Cook, so that was a great deal on our part.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Oct 31, 2009 -> 05:14 PM) The Lakers just got blown out at home by the Mavs and the Celtics beat the Lakers in the finals 2 years ago when Garnett was healthy. Garnett's healthy again and they added Rasheed Wallace. The Lakers are not a 72-10 contender as tonight proved and they are not the clear favorite for the title. Trevor Ariza just had a huge game for the Rockets tonight, while Ron Artest has looked terrible so far. Wonder if Mitch Kupchak is second guessing himself right now.

They got the job done in the end, which is all you can ask for really. If we can play the way we have been playing without Toews and Hossa, it's going to setup our season nicely, which it has so far.

Vince Carter high ankle sprain apparently, yippee. OKC beat DET tonight in DET also. Very nice win for them.
