  1. I got the pump, but it still wasn't enough. I can only nut when it's a straight-up [expletive]. And I was a little burnt from smoking a blunt in the afternoon, but as I said, it happens pretty much every time to me.
  2. Got head tonight for the first time in months...but didn't bust <_< That's the one bad thing about blow jobs, just not enough friction for the girl to get a nice, creamy prize. Anyone else have this problem? I've only busted once ever from getting head and it pisses me the [expletive] off.
  3. He'd definitely work on Boston, and he could play point-forward when Nate is in the game instead of Nate. The Bulls desperately need a SG so he'd fit in there too. He'd also fit nicely with the Lakers as a backup wing.
  4. Kobe, Deron, CP3 and Westbrook are all locks to get in at the G positions in the West. If they include another G, it will be between Ellis, Gordon, Nash, Parker and Ginobili. I'm too lazy to look up how many roster spots each team has, but the main G's and plethora of great F's will make it hard for a 2nd tier G's on losing teams like Ellis make the cut. He probably deserves it though, he's been tremendous.
  5. Yeah T-Mac looked good tonight from the highlights I saw, including a vintage blow-by and dunk. This month he's averaging 12/6/5 on 50% shooting, and all those numbers went up after tonight. I'll be very disappointed if some contender doesn't make a move for him at the deadline. He's definitely capable of playing an important role on a team that can advance past the 1st round.
  6. Griffin extended his double-double and and 20pt streak tonight. Kid's amazing.
  7. Family Guy is the [expletive], I remember watching the show every week back before it got cancelled. When it came back like 5 years later it wasn't quite the same (got more l-o-l funny, but it lost some of its magic), but I still love the show to death.
  8. Ha thanks. That was 3 years ago and my toe is still [expletive]ed up from that. I'll post a real pic of me sometime this weekend, I got nothing since I was in high school. EDIT: Actually, since I pawned my camera, idk when I'll be able to post a new pic, so below is a pic of me the summer after my senior year, rockin' the air-freshener high as [expletive]: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/tripreports/045.jpg
  9. Here's my big toe after I dropped a 45lbs weight on it: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/tripreports/P1010060-1.jpg ENJOY!!!!
  10. No, I just feel that consistency should be defined by a mixture of volume and efficiency, and not exclusive to just one area.
  11. Oh [expletive]...I'm black?!?! Damn, why did no one tell me!!!!
  12. Lol WTF was that by JR? I mean it looked awesome, but he shouldn't have gone for the 360.
  13. Dampier and Z go out, Joel comes in, and the Heat get raped on the boards. Seriously, this is gonna cost Spo's job if he keeps this up in the post-season. The Heat will not win a championship with Joel playing significant minutes against good frontcourts. I cannot stress this enough. No words can describe how unbelievably stupid his love-affair with Joel is.
  14. http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/news/Graham_Bensinger_InDepth/23682253;_ylt=Avotp27mhZr8lMyynzo.roM5nYcB#news/Graham_Bensinger_InDepth/23682253 Thought it was a pretty interesting video.
  15. +1. Same here. I was freaking out when I heard it's only for people born after 2009.
  16. Interesting. My only issue with the rankings is they don't factor in efficiency, which is a huge part of consistency. For example, if a player one night shoots 10-31 from the field and gets 30pts, while another player shoots 5-9 and scored 15pts, and both players average 25PPG, why should player A be awarded the more 'consistent' scorer?
  17. Same. I want to smash those glasses and use the shards to stab his eyes out.
  18. Their deaths did elevate their music in the view of the masses, but you have to realize that when they were alive they were still ranked among the 5 greatest rappers by most. Biggie was considered the 'King of NY' in the strongest era of rap in the city's history, and Pac was the most famous rapper in the game for the last year or so of his life. People older than us who were a part of the industry at the time, from rappers to producers to DJ's to whoever, commonly place them among the greatest of all-time. Basically, what I'm trying to say is you're ignorant to the situation, as I am for the most part, which is rely on my opinion as well as what people at the time were saying about Pac and BIG.
  19. How old are you? Considering you probably aren't even my age, 20, you have no idea the kind of hype they received when they were alive. 2Pac was a huge star once he signed with Death Row, and had a ton of hit songs, appeared in famous movies, etc... Biggie, just 2 albums in, was considered the 'King of NY' before he died. Think about that. With Nas, a young Jay-Z, Big L, KRS-One, Rakim and many other NY rappers spitting at the time, Biggie had the city on lock with just 2 albums. His funeral where they drove his casket through Brooklyn looked like a funeral for a president: http://listicles.thelmagazine.com/wp-content/upload/biggiefuneral.jpg Think about how many rappers who were spitting at the time acknowledge them as arguably the best rappers of all time. You think they are biased because Pac and Biggie died tragically?
  20. How exactly does Royce suck? He's the best rapper in Slaughterhouse. I agree about Yelawolf, though. Can't stand that dude.
  21. Ouch, that's horrible. Back when I went to the Sixers game in November I had to go from Paterson, to Westfield (near Union), to Philly, to Trenton, then back to Paterson. Brutal travel.
  22. So, after 40 games, the team is 30-10, winning 21 of the last 23. Statistically, they have been the most dominating team in the league, ranking in the top 3 on both offense and defense, and first in point differential. I've seen almost all of their games this season, and every game since the middle of their 12 game win streak. So, below are my observations so far, both the good and bad... The Good: -LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. They've proven they are the best duo in the league, and in the last 20 games or so have developed a good chemistry. Even though a lot of times they 'take turns' taking over the ballgame, they've gotten a lot better at playing to each other's tendencies. For example, when LeBron drives to the rim now, Wade will make a strong cut to the basket from the 3pt line, which has been a very efficient play the last few weeks. Another play is when Wade will dribble around the screen, hand-off to LeBron at the top of the screen, and that often will open up driving lanes for LeBron, who is not as adept to getting to the rim off isolation as Wade is. They are playing very efficient, effective basketball. They are two of the most consistent superstars in the league, and now that they've finally hit their groove, it is very rare you will see many nights from either player where they shoot like 4-18 from the field. That will make them a handful all season long, and will force the bad/average teams to play out of their minds to beat the Heat. -Chris Bosh. After about 10-15 games he finally started to his his groove, and of the three stars he found the coziest niche in the offense. He's usually automatic when he's got room on his jumper, and his effectiveness off the dribble is impressive as well. The last few games I've noticed him taking players in the post with his back to the basket, which is a little wrinkle I never noticed in his game before. His rebounding is still a little disappointing, and he needs to play tougher defensively against back-to-the-basket post players, but he's doing a real solid job with his team defense. -Team defense. When this team wants to lock you down, they do an awesome job. LeBron and Wade, when they are engaged, are everywhere defensively, cutting off passes, forcing turnovers, making weak-side blocks, cutting off driving lanes; they can be dominant. Joel Anthony, against quicker big men, is phenominal. Defensively, he reminds me of Chuck Hayes, who is aggressive against those type of big men, and has the athleticism and quickness to not be beat easily off the dribble. Z and Dampier are both big bodies that change shots around the rim, James Jones has done a tremenous job drawing charges, Chalmers can create turnovers and generally be a pest (although he goes over screens too often, which often leads to dribble penetration which can be a problem), and overall they have very good team defensive principles. -Ability to close-out games. Forget the last few minutes of ball-games, where the Heat have two of the best finishers in the game. In the 2nd half, the Heat do a great job of wearing out teams, turning up the energy, and really beating a team down. Since the win streak started, it's been very, very rare for the Heat to give up big leads like they were earlier in the year, and if they do they eventually choke you out with their star power and defense. -3pt shooting. The last few games have been a bit of struggle from deep, but for the year they have been very good from beyond the arc. They are currently 6th in the league in 3pt% at 38.1%, and that is without their best 3pt shooter, Mike Miller. Carlos Arroyo and James Jones have been lights-out this season from 3, with Arroyo shooting 48% from deep this season, and Jones netting 73 3PM so far this season. -Transition offense. They don't run often, but when they do they are highly successful. They could really use a good PG to make their fastbreak offense that much better, but as it is LeBron and Wade are nearly impossible to stop in transition, and Jones has been effective The Bad: -Joel Anthony. He hustles, makes quick defensive rotations, is a good weak-side shot blocker, and knows his limitations. However, he has many limitations. First off, he's 6'9'', and 240lbs (and that may be generous), so he's at a major size disadvantage. Underneath the basket against legitimately sized big men he is unable to provide much resistance. That leads me to the second point; he's one of the worst rebounding C's in the league, and probably the worst of those who play significant minutes. He doesn't box out well, doesn't have much jumping abiliy, and against legit C's they either simply reach over his head to grab the rebound, or will tip it over and over until they either get the basket, or tip the ball out to a teammate. What's more, he has tiny hands and no offensive repetoire, so he's completely useless on that end besides setting screens. If you go to 82games.com and look at how the team performs with him on the floor compared to Z and Dampier, and it is crystal clear that he should not be playing the kind of minutes Spo gives him. -Carlos Arroyo. He makes open jumpers at a blistering rate and doesn't turn the ball over. In other words, he generally won't make the kind of mistakes that will lose a game. However, he cannot hit a jumper with a hand in his face, he doesn't take the kind of chances that lead to 'impact plays', and his defense is awful. He has little lateral quickness, and constantly is blown by. He has little strength or size, so bigger PG's absolutely abuse him in the post, and around the rim. He's a really solid backup PG, but like Anthony should NOT be seeing the kind of minutes he gets. Unfortunately, Chalmers isn't way better, and he as well shouldn't be a starting PG, so they don't have many options here. -Erik Spoelstra. I applaud him for keeping it cool when the team was 9-8 and the whole 'LeBron bump' thing was a big story, and I think he's done a very good job with getting the team prepared defensively, but he is awful with rotations, and doesn't have the confidence in himself to make adjustments on the fly. Much like Arroyo, he plays it safe by sticking with robotic rotations and not doing anything that will make a big impact on the game from a coaching standpoint. His love-affair with Anthony really is a detriment to the team, as was his inclination to play the Haslem/Bosh frontcourt for major minutes to make sure Haslem got his burn. Spo seemed to turn a corner when he started to get the team to run and gave Chalmers/Dampier minutes, but he's reverted back to some of his old habits, and still needs to take more chances with such a dynamic roster. -Roster depth. We all knew it going in, but outside of the Big 3, the team lacks depth with talent. Things will be a lot better once Mike Miller gets back into form, and if he returns and is used properly, Udonis Haslem will be a huge addition as well. But as awesome a luxory it is to be able to have 3 players combine for 90% of your points and win the game against a +.500 ballclub, that is walking a dangerously fine line once they meet Boston or Orlando in a 7-game series. -Slow starts. It's pretty amazing to me that, even during the last 23 games, almost EVERY single game they start off slow. It's almost automatic; they come out with little energy, their defense gets burned, and on offense they appear to simply be going through the motions. Wade is really the only one who comes out of the gate with an aggressive attitude, but once again, they are walking a fine line that could cost them in the post-season. I know the Big 3 are rhythm players, which means they are naturally better finishers than starters, but they can't expect to simply blow teams out in the 2nd halves of games. Against the great teams with comparable talent, they will get burned doing this. With that said, I do think come playoff time that Wade and LeBron (and maybe Bosh) will come out of the gates looking to put teams away early, so this trend may or may not be something to be concerned about, but it's worth noting. Overall, this team is great, but they need Miller and Haslem back somewhat healthy and in a rhythm come playoff time for them to knock off the Celtics in a 7-game series IMO. A lot of the things they need to improve on are in Spo's hands. It's a lot of pressure for a 3rd year coach, but he's going to have to learn to make better on-the-fly adjustments, and will have to start working Miller back into the lineup soon.
  23. Why does him being a douche about the Decision make the Cleveland fanbase feel entitled to a championship? That's silly. They still fully recognize what he did for the team, and acknowledge him as arguably the most dominant player ever during his tenure with the Lakers. Meanwhile, you have fans like Cleveland Finest who post pictures of themselves on here wearing "LeBron James MVP" shirts a few months ago now saying guys like Durant are better players. He's just an example. Look around and the same attitude is everywhere among Cavs fans. It's pathetic. Lol...they are justified to hate him. But to be so damn ungrateful about the experience they had the last 7 years with him on the team, the kind of experience over half the league hasn't had the luxory of having, is what pisses me off. It's a slap in the face to us, and quite frankly it makes me sick. Talk is talk...bottom line is when LeBron stepped on the court, he dominated. He led them to their first 60+ win seasons. Led them to their first Finals. Won back-to-back MVP's. Brought the franchise out of the slums, gave them notoriety and earned the team and city a crapload of money. Ultimately what people say in sports don't have much meaning, the only thing that truly matters is how they perform. And LeBron was unbelievable in his time with the Cavs.

    Jay Electronica

    Yeah, I really like Electronica. He's got a really nice, smooth flow, and he really pays homage to the past greats. Definitely a breath of fresh air in the game. BTW, send me that link, either in this topic or through PM. I have some of his work, but not a whole lot (like 6-7 songs).
