Mentch

so if the Magic win in the final seconds tonight, then we know whos taking the series, right?

id go to the Nets, seems like its gonna happen anyways since Shaq is considering going there and it can actually turn the franchise around

Ha thats awesome

Yeah this kinda reminds me of what happened to me pretty recently Alright so like during spring break i met this girl i liked, and im pretty sure she liked me too. She lives kinda far away though, like 15-20 mins driving time. So we kept trying to hook up w/each other, like this one Friday night, she really wanted me to come see her, but I couldnt sneak out because my mom was sleeping in the living room right by the garage. I guess i felt like she was my fallback option if things didnt work out with other ppl. And like my friend told me he was gonna go to one of those prom afterparties and i was like "well maybe i can go w/her, she'd probably go w/me" And then some [expletive] happened a few days later and I got my phone and car taken away for a while So when I finally got it back a couple of weeks later, I kinda forgot about her, especially since prom was already over. So then a couple of weeks later, i called my friend and i was like "u think u could hook me up w/her" and he was like "oh she has a bf now" and i got pissed off and i wanted to talk to her about it. so he put her on conference call and i was like "wtf happened?" and she was like "u missed ur chance! if u came out here that night we probably would've hooked up but u waited too long" yep, nothing feels worse than getting screwed over... if shes a good friend, then go ahead, tell her, its not like its gonna ruin ur friendship that much. maybe at first, but then its a 1-second awkward moment and then its over

Haha well I didn't mean friend as in "actual friend" Like just a person on here that youre cool with and all, if u know what i mean

Ha well the only reason I said him is b/c im friends w/him in real life, and hes the one who recruited me to this site in the first place

Ha i saw this topic at CTS so I was like "why not" For me, im not really sure since im cool w/just about everybody here, but ima go with Ballorama

I guess it's not really an upset, but people are expecting Boston to win the series now, so it seems like one

I actually think the Magic will pull an upset and come back in this series. Maybe not win it, but they should make things interesting

Welcome to OTR, stay active and have fun posting!

You should write this at Bleacher Report, I'm sure it's better than all the other crap that people post there

I know it's a time for sports fans to be optimistic about their team, so I'm gonna let you post why YOUR team is good enough to win the big one. No Bills, Rams, or Lions fans please. For me, I think the reason why the Vikings will win the Super Bowl is because they have a great team overall. They have a dominant front four. Brett Favre is most likely coming back, and off of his best season yet. Adrian Peterson scored more touchdowns last year than the entire Rams offense. Finally, the Vikings can't choke forever, they gotta pull through eventually, right? :glasses:

Carter is an 8x All-Star, with an impressive resume, including being the slam-dunk champion. I think he's in, maybe not a lock, but he'll get in.

Why? They are both 5x All-Stars, which is right about at the cut-off point for the HOF, in both football and basketball. In football, there are plenty of 5x Pro Bowlers that aren't in the HOF (i.e. Ricky Watters, Irving Fryar, Donovan McNabb) I don't see why it has to be any different in basketball. Yes, Miller was an extremely good 3-point shooter, and a clutch player. I think he should be in. But not having a championship will definitely hurt his argument.

I'm thinking we might see a younger quarterback win MVP this season, like Aaron Rodgers or Tony Romo, but for all we know, it could just be Peyton Manning again If a running back is gonna win either one, it will probably be Jones-Drew or Chris Johnson again. If a wide receiver is gonna win OPOY (probably not MVP considering a wide receiver hasn't won MVP since Jerry Rice in 1987), it's probably gonna be either Miles Austin or Steve Smith (Panthers)

Lol this will probably happen, I can see it

I'll take Rockets in 6 Hakeem is just too much of a weapon to ignore

Alright, list players here that had a very good and storied career, but don't quite measure up to Hall of Fame standards. This includes past and current players (if you measure their progress up to this point in time) - Mark Jackson (has the career stats, but mostly a stats accumulator, only lead the league once in assists) - Chris Webber (actually, I'm not quite sure on this guy) - Ben Wallace (4 GREAT years, but that's about it) - Reggie Miller (great 3-point shooter, but he doesn't have a championship)

i have like the worst dog in the world lol http://caninebreeds.bulldoginformation.com/chihuahua-terrier-mix-2.jpg thats not my dog, but its kinda what he looks like

Just reached 100! Lol

Voted for East cuz I'm also a Celtics fan, if you didn't know that Although idk why the NBA Finals wasn't an option here

If the Mavs pick him up, maybe they can win a few But hard to say. Unless that happens, I don't see him winning more than 1. And on an unrelated note, 100th post!

Um im surprised nobody's mentioned this yet, but the Nets trading Dr. J to the 76ers for $3 million was pretty damn bad

It wouldn't be a bad idea to trade Dirk at this point, though it seems crazy the Mavs could get a lot for him and at this point they need anything they can get.

Lol yeah I didn't say he was an elite coach, they never really won big or anything but at least he brought them out of a really bad period of play.
