Kobe was damn close to having about the biggest turnover in NBA history.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) I usually would be pissed to see that too, especially to a PG, but since it's Rondo... I just laugh. I hate Kobe infinitely more than I've ever hated another NBA player. I can't stand anything about the guy.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) I like how Gasol can just throw Rondo out of the way for that rebound.. geez Refs have played a huge role in this game. Terrible job by them.

And another Kobe brick but he is bailed out by a teammate. He has been f***ing horrible tonight.

And that Gasol basket shouldn't have counted but hard to blame the refs on that one.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) I'm gonna hate the Kobe/MJ comparisons from people (especially if he gets 5 rings now) but I hate Rondo and Boston so much, I can care less about it. Allen might be gone, Thibs is comming here, etc... I hope Boston falls and stays down. If anyone makes the comparison after that garbage ass performance tonight they should be punched in the face. He has done nothing to deserve this win.

That Pierce block had way less contact than Gasol's "block" on Garnett earlier.

That last call against Garnett was awful. Don't bail out Gasol with that type of bulls*** call.

Pathetic performance by Ray Allen on the offensive end tonight.

Bulls*** officiating right now. Garnett gets fouled by Gasol after beating him off the dribble with no call and then a clean steal by Wallace called a foul.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) Thibodeau! After first thinking that I don't care who wins, I have decided that I really don't want Artest winning a title. If he does, ESPN will think his craziness and stupidity is cute and funny. I'm rooting for Boston to win an ugly game in which Kobe goes about 3-20.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) Animation movies always get positive reviews. Not true at all. Pixar movies on the other hand always get positive reviews.

Currently 56 reviews up for Toy Story 3 on rottentomatoes and everyone of them is positive.

The early reviews for Toy Story 3 are not surprisingly fantastic. Pixar is amazing.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) Pierre is now batting .248 with 25 stolen bases and 6 CS (which leads the league), his batting average has been going up starting around mid may after a completely brutal start that had me wanting Pierre dumped for a bag of balls. Pods is batting .282 with 18 stolen bases and 6 CS, and his batting average has been going down after having a torrid start which had his average above .300 until late may when he started coming back to his normal numbers. Lets stop acting like Pods would be saving our season right now if he was leading off. Pierre is the same player with a little bit better instincts on the basepaths, better defense, and less power. Pods also only has a .333 OBP which is terrible for a guy who has no power at all and doesn't play good defense. He isn't a good baseball player. Why anyone would want him on the White Sox is beyond me.

Nice bricks down the stretch Kobe. Hell yes Boston, one more.

Absolutely pathetic at bats by Ramirez and Konerko.

Pods is down to a .332 OBP and .671 OPS. Where did all his supporters go?

Good win, Jenks continues to be scary but at least he isn't blowing games I guess.

Nice job by Putz. Hopefully we can get a few insurance runs before Jenks gets out there.

It is embarrassing that Randy Williams is still a member of this team.

Amazing job by the Celtics bench tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) I'm sorry, but academics has nothing to do with these decisions It isn't the biggest factor but academics is certainly a factor for the Big 10 to take a school. There are several SEC schools the Big 10 wouldn't take from an academic perspective even though they would be good for the conference athletically. The Big 10 and other conferences aren't making these decisions based on the academics of the schools they are inviting but I can basically guarantee the Big 10 is looking at the academic reputation and has some minimum standards for the schools they are inviting.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) The 2008 AL Central doesn't count? Not to mention that the 2006 team won 90 games and would have been in the playoffs easily if Contreras didn't hurt his back, Buehrle wasn't a below average starting pitcher, and the pitching staff as a whole didn't tank after 2005. Thome was a stud his first two years for the Sox and then still a well above average hitter for his last two. He has also been very good for the Twins this year. What's not to like? A lot of people on this board love Pods who in his best year can't put up an OBP as high as Thome in his worst year, yet people hate on Thome all the time.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) Big 10 tried (or is trying) to get Texas. (depending on who you believe) Im not sure that Iowa State, Baylor or Colorado are that much superior to Nebraska academics to off set Nebraska's superior brand and reputation. One of those teams fills an 80k+ stadium every year, the other 3 dont. If academics are close, you look for the marquee brand. I guess I dont consider Colorado, Baylor, or ISU as academic schools that "the big 10 would be falling over for." They are solid schools, but Im pretty sure that they would be in the lower half of the Big 10 in academics. Its just not a really big selling point (imo). The Big 10 is absolutely still trying to get Texas and there is a report (of course who knows if it is true) that is saying Texas and Texas A&M have petitioned the Big 10 for membership. And I am in complete agreement about Baylor, Colorado, and Iowa St. Going off of the US News Rankings, which are far from perfect but still, each of those schools is ranked lower than every current Big 10 school and while they are higher than Nebraska it isn't a substantial different. This is about the major sports men's basketball and men's football. Iowa St. fails miserably in both areas, doesn't bring in any new markets, and doesn't have a national following at all. They would be a terrible addition.
