When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I have an extreme degree of dislike for all four remaining teams, so my hope is for a Pacers/Spurs finals in order to disappoint the maximum amount of people in the world.

I do too, but I really hate every member of the press who spent years saying that Lebron sucked, and I'd like to see them look even stupider as Lebron wins another championship

KD bout to go crazy to take a 3-0 lead on the spurs shooting fantastically. Then he will shoot below 40 percent and average 10 turnovers a game. He will lose a game 7 at the buzzer from a kawhi leonard steal + 30 foot 3halfcourt slam.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Deron is kind of out of luck unless he wants to play for the Bobcats or something.

They also said he quit on the team the day after his last game in Cleveland. A game where he had a triple double and the number 2 option was Mo Williams.

I'm sorry MourningView I don't know if you are just being purposely obtuse or just plain dumb. We are pretty clearly talking about Lebron's detractors not people who think he is a bad basketball player. Note I never actually said people thought he sucked.

If you think WEREWAIF was actually talking about someone thinking lebron was bad instead of just saying he wants to see more schadenfreude from his detractors you are being silly.

Marv Albert told Kerr to not take the Knicks job

quote:

"Well, I told him it never ends well there. Just look at recent history. It's because of one man (Dolan)," Albert told me Thursday over the telephone. "There is no happiness there. I say this with all kinds of friends I have there and (the ones) at the MSG Network. Everybody hates being there. For coaches it's very difficult. Steve couldn't accept anyone (from MSG's PR staff) following him around with a tape recorder. Like Phil [Jackson], Steve is a guy who wants to say what he wants to say," Albert continued. "He's very opinionated, which doesn't always work when you are at the Garden."

Some crazy stuff coming out of NY

http://m.espn.go.com/general/story?storyId=10934685&city=newyork&src=desktop

quote:

Melo knows the Knicks had a chance at LaMarcus Aldridge and blew it. He knows they snubbed a trade that would've brought Rajon Rondo to New York or Kyle Lowry in a separate deal. All season, he sat around, played hard and averaged 27 points per game, while the Knicks stood idly by and did nothing -- primarily because Dolan wouldn't allow them to, telling the team in multiple meetings that the players weren't going anywhere.

Brian Shaw also reportedly trying to get out of Denver to come coach the Knicks.
