Recommended Posts

as of 4/17

East

Nets lead 1 - 0 (Knicks)

Pacers lead 1 - 0 (Celtics)*

West

Spurs lead 1 - 0 (grizzlies)

Lakers lead 1 - 0 (rockets)**

*- that was surprising, 16 point difference, i think pacers will sweep.

** this was very sad. so close.

i also watched the spurs game, wow that was a great game!! and have you guys noticed that Robert Horry, he has this look on his face, kinda like an inecent look. i've always wondered about him, and my gf told today that 3 of his children are mentally retarted. poor guy.

OMFG is anyone watching the Pistons game?

As Chick Hearn would say

This game's in the Refrigerator, the door's closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the jello's jiggling!

i was thinking.. if there is a possible way that we can bet on the playoffs.

so i was thinking what if we can bet our post counts! i know there more people that care about their post counts.. but this would require an admin to adjust our post counts.

i doubt it'll happen but i'm just trying to kill time between class :sleepy:

He stepped on the court during a scuffle when he was supposed to be on the bench. Automatic 1 game suspension by the league.

damn i was hoping he would be suspended the entire round.. he poses a threat to the pistons. i'd rather have the pistons play celtics than the pacers.

@ jorgeivan2k3 there are a few us, at least the ones that posted. i hate them to. funny thing is i'm one of the few pistons fan all the way from California and my family and friends are die hard laker fans.

sometimes when the lakers are loosing and i cheer my aunt gets mad and i'm not allowed to watch the game anymore :rofl: gotta have the spirit baby!!

He stepped on the court during a scuffle when he was supposed to be on the bench. Automatic 1 game suspension by the league.

any word on Richard Jefferson of the Nets? He definitely did the same thing during game 01 vs the Knicks, and since I am a Knicks fan I'll take anything I can get to help us get a W...

btw, If my memory servers me correct I am pretty sure that rule REALLY started getting enforced thanks to PJ Brown of the Heat flipping over Charlie Ward of the Knicks which led to a huge bench clearing, which led to the all time classic image of Van Gundy clinging to Alonzo Mourning's leg... ahh when the Knicks where the Knicks...

also after watching the first round of games I have changed my mind on somethings... not really who is going to win, but I do think some teams already might have the potential to sweep, mainly the Pacers & Pistons...

and much to my surprise Miami one, I really give Stan Van Gundy and the entire team ALOT of credit.

And the Rocket's were OH SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!

First of all The lakers have Kobe (who basically is a bunch of jordan 's career moves mixed with youth) and the same calls jordan used to get at the end of big games.Now the rest of the FAKERS are trash.....look All the laker haters have to understand that as long as Phil Jackson,Kobe (NBA Commisioner's new Jordan) & Shaq are Hollywood Celebrity's favorite players,they have to win......there is too much MONEY involved that's y they are going to at least make a run for the playoffs this season......it's all designed.If you are a fan of any other team u should just watch the games watch the offensive fouls shaq and the fakers dish out and see what i mean....but try your best to watch it unbiased (i have a hard time).And see the biggest conspiracy in sports history.It goes deeper like why the NBA is allowing the votes to go for YAO instead of SHAQ so the "TRIANGLE" Conspiracy goes off without a problem.THE LAKERS WILL 6 PEAT IF THE NBA wants them to.PURE AND REAL.

P.S. **** THE LAKERS AND THEIR FANS AND HOLLA AT YA BOY IN 2005 when SHAQ retires leaving KOBE 's bitchass for the new breed of badboy players in the league to destroy.....Haha laker fans enjoy your run while it lasts....BITCHES!!!

lol.. take it easy man. they have an all-star team and they're loosing!! and they have a really hard time playing the rockets.

to me that's just sad.. don't worry, they wont' make it past the 2nd round. :)

I hope that man :)

going back to class now.. and wait for tomorrow's pistons game.. nothing would make me happier to watch the the pistons kill the bucks with my gf sitting next to me and wearing her tight shirt that reads "pistons" (going to buy her the shirt today) :happy:

I bet the Lakers sweep... Along with 'sota and the Pacers.

I'm not a Lakers fan, before you all bitch me :p I'm a poor, tired Sonics fan! I'm also one of the original members of SFU! (Sonics Fans United) that arranged the plane over the Key on the last game of the season!

heh..

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows.

And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction.

    • No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.
    • Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
