  1. Sooooo basically it's the same thing as Halo 3 but from the weaker soldier's point of view? lol. And that Firefight mode is a complete rip off of Horde in Gears of War 2 (I'm an avid Gears player so thats probably why that bothers me haha).
  2. It's being discussed in the random thread bro.
  3. Wow the Twolves are getting an entirely new makeover. Dumping Telfair definitely makes Minny look much more attractive to Rubio. Maybe he'll end up coming over after all. You never know.
  4. No problem. I'm assuming those are probably your last 2 posts on this forum haha.
  5. Wow how is this topic 10 pages?? Anyway, I prefer soccer since i played it for 11 years (22 seasons).
  6. He's definitely a productive role playing guard. His best aspect is his his energy and hustle. From the few Warrior games I watched, he always played hard every second.
  7. If Brandon Bass ends up starting, I think he'll have a true breakout season. Courtney Lee is also another player to keep an eye on. Honorable mention: JaVale McGee (keeping my fingers crossed. )
  8. I'm confused about this whole game. Is it a sequel to Halo 3? Or just an alternate campaign or something?
  9. Sounds interesting. I'd be down for being a judge lol.
  10. Seeing as Robinson might be heading overseas, this is definitely a good signing for the Knicks.
  11. Found the answer on a yahoo board question:
  12. HAHAHA do you guys actually think that picture is real??? It's hilarious but come on... Here is the original picture. http://www.insidesocal.com/tomhoffarth/sam_cassell_2.jpg

  14. This has been a longtime debate, and even now there has never been one solidified conclusion about who is truly the better basketball player. In a comparison like this, you really have to break down every aspect of a forward's game and see who has the edge in each category. I used a website as a guide of which categories to use, but the explanations are strictly my own opinions. Accomplishments: Duncan, no further comments necessary. Winner: Tim Duncan Clutch: We've seen what Duncan has been able to do in the clutch. Whether it be that surprising game-tying 3 pointer he had against the Suns in the playoffs that one year, or that crazy falling down shot he had against the Lakers to give them a slight lead (which was soon topped by Derek Fisher's amazing last millisecond turnaround jumper), Duncan clearly has the edge in the clutch. Garnett has not proven that he can truly close a game the way Duncan does. Winner: Tim Duncan Shooting Ability: While both forwards have an amazing shooting ability for big men, I'll have to give this advantage to Garnett. Duncan's game revolves around mostly shot faking and then driving in for his easy shot. While he definitely can shoot, Garnett takes much more jumpers, and makes a good amount of them as well. It is a very reliable aspect of his game, while shooting is probably one of the less reliable aspects of Duncan's game. Winner: Kevin Garnett Ball Handling: Garnett has demonstrated an unusually elite talent of ball handling for a man of his size. Not many power forwards can dribble the ball the way he does. However, while Duncan isn't a great overall ball handler, he has demonstrated an amazing ability to dribble on the wing, pass to an open teammate off the dribble, or just pound to the basket to get a shot off. This is one of the harder categories to give the edge to one player. If it was up to me, I would have to give it to Garnett, just due to his advantage in speed and overall athleticism. Winner: Kevin Garnett Rebounding: Both are two of the top rebounders in the league today, and possibly of all time as well. While Garnett may have the edge in his athleticism to jump up and grab a rebound, Duncan boxes out better than any forward you will probably ever see. His rebounding IQ is clearly off the charts. I give the slight edge to Duncan. Winner: Tim Duncan Post Skills: Duncan wins this category only because more of his game revolves around being in the low post. He also seems to be more effective at pounding the ball down low and getting an easy basket nearly every time. Garnett steps out around the perimeter and takes more mid range shots rather than posting up more often. In this category, I have to give it to Duncan. Winner: Tim Duncan Defense: There is really no explanation needed here. While Duncan has the edge in shot blocking, but Garnett's overall defensive ability is absolutely off the charts. Garnett has Duncan in this category hands down. Winner: Kevin Garnett So, in my opinion, Tim Duncan is the better overall basketball player, but the decision can really go either way. I believe accomplishments are what have given Duncan the edge in most conclusions in this player comparison.
  15. If Camby was back in his prime, I'd probably go with him on this one. But now that age has caught up with him, his defense has been noticeably lazier and less effective than his younger self. Perkins is a true post-defensive beast. So to conclude, Perkins by a landslide.
  16. You think the Heat will be able to afford both Joe and Amare? I don't see that happening. If they did though, I would have the lineup as: Wade Johnson Odom Beasley Amare That's a fearsome lineup right there.
  17. Won't believe it until it is written in an official article. But if it's true, good sign for the Heat. I don't see how the Lakers will succeed the way they did last season without Odom.

    No, the theme song is the one he posted. This is old news though, but glad it's becoming more aware.
  19. So CP3 is trying to stay optimistic about not being traded, big deal.
  20. Very nice. Good coloring and texture. No complaints at all.
