    Yeah but Michael Jordan is, by almost all accounts, a pretty huge dick. You're preaching to the choir on that point.

    The only redeeming point of the Heat:

    No problem. Consider that a present in consolation of losing your team to Brooklyn.

    It's not easy living in New Jersey. People refuse to recognize that the only true New York team is the Buffalo Bills considering the Giants and Jets both play in New Jersey, now we lost the Nets? All that's left is the Devils and the Red Bulls.

    But, back to basketball. Kobe claims that the Lakers can win the championship with the type of game they're playing. I think there's a strong possibility that they'll end up being the team out of the West since OKC has been shakey against Dallas. The Lakers have looked good, but it's still too early to see any trends in how these teams play.

    I think the Spurs have the best shot. The Lakers will run into some drama here soon with either Bynum or Kobe or Coach Brown.

    If OKC starts Harden at PG and puts Durant and Westbrook at shooting guard, they will probably start blowing everyone out. NBA coaches hardly ever make smart moves like that, though.

    It's difficult to say where the Bulls will go from here. This series could be close.

    That GIF Minus! :lol: Fantastic find!

    Not sure what Karl is doing with the Nuggets playing 10 guys. Gotta stick with 7 from here on out if you want any chance against the Lakers. I don't get it.

    You couldn't knock Lebron over with that amount of contact if you tried, that's ridiculous. And then for the other video, the fight for the rebound with Rose was a flop, but that shot by Boozer looked like a foul to me. You can't hit someone in the head.

    Lebron flops so much because he wants to act like he's hurt. If you're hurt, people won't expect as much from you and there's less pressure. I'm 100% sure this is why he flops so much. Lebron is just a punk who can't hang with the big boys when things get tough. Wade is the real man on the team.

    They need to do something about flops. Like a post-game fine and eventual suspension from games.

    I think the ref flopped on that Rondo chest bump :trollface:

    In all seriousness, it is taking away from the game, especially in the playoffs. Lebron's infamous for it now, but it's been around for a while (Reggie Miller in the '90s against the Knicks).

    Strange that they don't have that yet. I mean football (soccer) is tremendously technologically deprived and they do apply post-game fines/suspensions for inappropiate on-field behaviour (which were obviously caught on camera).

    They should do it, because it's embarassing to see players getting away with cheating when every camera caught what they did.

    I'm in Dallas.
    I'm not a Mavs fan. At all.
    That vid doesn't help.

    "Why so?" you might ask.
    If you know me, you know why.
