I had 72 posts today!  I went off like LeBron James.  You sorry!

actually,  you went off a bit more like kobe.     you see, lebron hasn't ever hit 72.

but kobe has.



 

Well, if 15 of my posts were rebounds and 12 of them were assist, then maybe I went off like LeBron.

Looks like ya boys are getting even with the Rockets right now.

They're trying. Looked like shit monday. Kobe just lit a fire though.

wooosh!     That was some tasty LOST action last night.

I yelled YAY!! out loud in my empty living room when Zayid showed up.   I guess I truly missed him.    (shameful)

But I just realized that my father and brother are going to be up from North Carolina helping me redo the deck when the finale is on.   I'm gonna feel bad, but I'm going to have to tell them to just sit down and shut up.   Dont try to understand whats happening, and for god's sake don't ask me to explain whats happening.

that's why i do my friends a favor and never watch LOST with them. for their sake.

[Doctor Rock]

I have never watched Lost.  I've been a bit too busy. 

[bebopbalogna]

well, i wouldn't start now...

[bebopbalogna]

one more season after next weeks finale.  i would just netflix the whole thing once it's done.   i tell you what though.  it's gonna piss me off if they somehow manage to turn it into a "then you woke up" scenario where the whole frickin thing never really happened. very lazy writing, if you ask me.  which is where it's headed if dead faraday is right. i hate that shit.

[captqitn]

I'm with you that it would be unsatisfying, but I don't think it would be lazy on par with Dallas.     They're jumping through some pretty intricate plotting to have it make sense... if in fact that is whats in store.


but yeah, I hope thats not whats next.     and Freckles is with me on that.

WASHINGTON -- LeBron James is the best player in the NBA, surpassing veteran Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, 14-time All-Star guard Jerry West said Monday.

"I look at Cleveland [and] say to myself, 'How many games could they win without LeBron James?' West told Reuters in an interview. "That's how great he is.

"He has a chance to be arguably the greatest player ever to play the game."

"Michael Jordan was the best defensive player in the league but he was also the best offensive player," said West. "It wasn't a one-year fluke, he proved it over time.

"LeBron James will do the same type of things because he's getting better. He's a much more effective shooter. When's he's making his shots from the outside, you can't play him.

"He's just too big, too strong, too quick. And he has incredible body control. But more than that, he's a great teammate. You can see his teammates love him."

"[He] can play four positions if you ask him to do so, and his ability to get everyone involved in the game is just remarkable for someone his age. I don't know if there's a better athlete I've ever seen play professional basketball."

"But even though it's hard for me to be objective, because I brought Kobe to Los Angeles, I do think LeBron has surpassed Kobe as a player."

Reuters contributed to this report.

4 more victories apiece and the truth shall be seen......


(btw, i'm a lakers fan first, a kobe fan second... as long as the lakers are better than the cavs....i could care less about kobe vs. lebron..)

[bebopbalogna]

oof.

[Poop Fresh-Herbed Pickles]

Tough loss.

[bebopbalogna]

i had predicted that the cavs would win in 5, the lakers in 6 or 7.  although it wouldn't hurt my feelings if i get it backwards.  more rest before the finals.
