Backseat drivers. Also, say you're in a car of 4-5 people, and one person likes a different genre of music than everyone else, yet they control the radio/cd and play only what they like.

Well, there has to be sacrifices with any relationship. Even if that means now your wife goes to games with you in which your buddies would have gone with you prior to meeting her. Let's not pretend everyone operates as normal with their social life once they are entrenched with a significant other.

Agree 100 percent.

He did tell the Cavs before going on TV. But he didn't have to.

It's been reported every where I have seen that the Cavs had no idea what he was going to do until he announced it. Where did you see/read this?

I'm sticking with LeBron going back to the Cavs.... unfinished business there and we all know how much LeBron cares about his legacy. Also, LeBron never ever wanted to be a "villain" to anyone, he wants to be loved, and there's no better way to do that than to go back to Cleveland. Oh, and it doesn't hurt they have a rising team with young talent (Irving, Wiggins, Thompson, etc).

LeBron to the Cavs today IMO.

Toronto's pick at 20. That Brazil kid.

 

Lavine as well.

You mean the "Brazilian Kevin Durant" who averaged like 4 points a game and 3 rebounds per game in Brazil? Yeah, his highlights where the other player scored over him and his dunk attempt that he missed and got fouled on was impressive.

Cleanthony Early. I was absolutely stunned he didn't go in the first round, especially with some of the guys that were getting picked. I think the Knicks got a good one there.

Also, loved the Kyle Anderson pick by the Spurs. Kind of reminds me of a young Boris Diaw, doesn't play above the vision but has a lot of height and great court vision.

A pet peeve of mine is when someone doesn't text you back and you are asking a legitimate question. For example, I was trying to get the money for this league we are playing in the other week from my friend. He had already no called-no showed one game, so I wanted to a) make sure he was coming, b) get the money. Well, he reads it (he has the read receipt on) and never responds, despite me texting him 5 hours before the game. This is just an example, but is quite annoying. With that said, people with read receipts on their text messages is another.

Based on how the Heat looked this series the words 'major upgrade' don't apply IMO. I'm still trying to figure out how they whipped the Pacers.

Because Indiana has one of the worst offenses in the league, they aren't emotionally mature enough to handle the big stage, when guarded by LeBron George is a shell of himself, Hibbert was MIA most of the playoffs, George Hill isn't that great, etc etc.... I would bet a lot of money the Indiana team we saw in the playoffs wouldn't have beaten anyone in the Western Conference. They were a shell of their regular season selves.

What a great series by the Spurs. The way they play is just beautiful to watch. You can just see how much these guys care about each other. Also, I loved how Duncan averaged 17 and 10 for the series (I believe) on above 50% shooting and it looked like he was the most exciting guy in the arena when Kawhi Leonardwas named the MVP. Just awesome.

Wrong series for that notoriously bad defense argument. Perhaps on Miami's side, but Kawhi Leonard is putting on a clinic defensively. Saw a stat on Twitter that in the first half, LeBron made zero attempts while Leonard was guarding him. That dude's in his head. And Leonard was ALL OVER Wade on several occasions as well.

Wade tried toying around with the ball in the second half and leonard just took it from him and went the other way. Leonard is an absolute pleasure to watch. Also, for as great as LeBron is (he is having a good series despite the series record), Leonard seems to be outworking him for rebounds and hustle plays. Anyone else noticed this?

There is A Victoria Secret at the mall. Guess that makes #10 even more of a challenge

A challenge would be something that is hard to do but you want to win... this is not that, you don't want to be able to do it!

Leonard was all over the court on both ends. After a great first quarter, LeBron really seemed to be kind of passive all night. He didn't play bad by any means but definitely not to the level of greatness people are accustomed to seeing from him. A big thing the Spurs cut down on was turnovers. They had quality, open looks all night long. Game 4 is officially a must win for Miami.

Very nice by Cena.

 

I know Cena gets mixed crowd responses from WWE fans but everything I learn about him screams class act.

That was awesome of Cena to do.

In regards to your second part, I heard that WWE has tried to make him a heel on many occasions but he doesn't want to stop being a great role model for kids. Pretty cool of him honestly.

Trust me. I don't. Very few games, especially at the professional level, do I ever hold on to. That game I am still not over. I can still see the whole chain of events unfold. LeBron misses a three so badly it comes back to him and he makes a three. Manu and Leonard each miss FTs, LeBron turns the ball over 3 times in the final 2 minutes, misses again badly from deep to be kicked out to Ray for maybe the must clutch three in NBA history, Popovich has in a small lineup,:banghead: .

Right or wrong, people would probably be thinking a lot differently about LeBron at the moment if he had only 1 ring, especially with him missing those three pointers as you mentioned. Unbelieveable is the only word to describe the Heat coming back and winning that game.

^ Their most interesting personality is Gregg Popovich. And to me his interviews are must-watch television, but beyond that they are as dull as they come.

I do agree Popovich is must watch tv, he is hilarious. I personally love watching the Spurs, they play the game the way it's meant to be played -- unselfish and with beautiful passing and playmaking.

Without question.

 

19 year old Colerain Township woman, Kendra Wright, has been missing for 11 days now. Have barely heard a word about it. You couldn't go 10 minutes on local TV without hearing about him.

First time I've heard about her.

If Ibaka stays healthy, I am taking the Thunder.

Yeah the way the Thunder play the Spurs with Ibaka playing I am not confident in the slighest with my Spurs pick.

I want KD-Lebron, DWade-Russ Part II. I think that would be a much more entertaining series.

Entertainment wise, yeah I completely agree. I just really want to see someone besides the Heat win and I feel like the Heat do what the Thunder do but better. Of course, I could be wrong.

Hopefully OKC now that we have a series again.

 

 

What was wrong with Ibaka? He went from out of the playoffs to day-to-day to the starting lineup. Paul Pierce-like.

 

 

OKC has won their last 7 games against San Antonio with Ibaka in the lineup.

Great question. My friend said if you announce someone out for the season he shouldn't be able to come back and play like that :lol2: but it is funny because Parker even said he expects Ibaka to play before the series started. Makes you wonder how it could go from so bad to him looking like himself that quickly.

I still am taking the Spurs in 7, but I couldn't be more reluctant. I think the Spurs play the Heat better and don't want the Heat to win so that's part of the reason I am rooting for them.

Spurs and Thunder are deadlocked at 2 games apiece now. Westbrook just had 40 points, 10 assists, and 5 steals last night. He is the first person to do that since Michael Jordan in 1989 :scared:

Who do you all like to take this series home?

 

That's the beauty and agony of baseball. Any time, any team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(unless you're a Red. Just had to get that in for LRCW.)

:lol2:

May have taken the flashlight not wanting to turn on lights in the next door building or not being able to turn any on.

 

A young man that I worked with several years ago went to great lengths to commit suicide including buying a new rope and ladder to take out into the woods. So taking a flashlight to a vacant building isn't suspicious IMO.

I guess using the flashlight and looking at the ground and appearing like he was looking for something is what is suspicious. They said he was found with a bottle of wine, is it safe to say that he was drunk after being out all night or has that not been said?

^Just my opinion, but I think he was looking for something, but it wasn't his cell phone.

I wonder what it could possibly be though.... I mean I can't come up with anything realistic in my mind.

The house had a broken window and he was found in the basement. How did the police not see the broken window? Seems like that should of been easy to spot and worth exploring further.

A lot of very weird things about all this. Like Lawildcat said I do find it unrealistic a person murdered him then was able to bring him back to the house next door during the time so many people were looking for him without getting noticed and making it seem as if it were a suicide.

Like you all, i'm confused why he is shown with that flashlight looking like he was searching for his cell phone and then goes and commits suicide. Does anyone know if the cell phone has been found?

I don't really think it would be an upset. Conner has been beating everybody this year. They beat Beechwood twice already this year and I think will be favored in this matchup. Should be a good one and I will go with Conner to win this game.

Just going based on the rankings. I don't think it is much of an upset either.
