Bring on what? What you say is patently obvious to casual observers such as myself. I turn on an NBA game and I see a bunch of inflated egoists trying to get attention. It's really hard to get interested in the NBA. I'll watch the finals for sure (but only if the Pistons are in it!)

Like I said, I don't know squat about the NBA beyond some interest in the Pistons and Cavs. I don't feel like changing my picks--fuck it. I'm too tired to figure out the matchups. Can't we do this round by round like sensible people? I'll leave the picks to you guys who actually follow this stuff. I don't know who to pick anyway. Sorry!

Yes, Andre badly needs to shave it all off!

Clippers taking over early. Love Chris Kaman's mullet! Of course, 'Mello's zigzag cornrows are almost as bad!

Prices include shipping: Houston Person, "Why Not!" (Muse) not an import. $8 Grassella Oliphant, "The Grass is Greener" (east west) Japanese import. $13 paypal preferred.

I know Chico for only a really great cd: The Pied Piper (Black Hawk BKH 50801 CD, 1984), one of the greatest -I think- "hard bop" records of the '80s. I bought it because Kenny Kirkland, Elvin Jones and Cecil McBee were part of the group. It's a great swinging date (other musicians: John Purcell, Mark Thompson), made by a great group, with strong interplay and drive. The saxes are both quite wonderful (as the overall piano work!), Freeman having the more soulful, strong and traditional soloing, in my opinion. Great tunes, mainly original ones. One of the best version ever heard of "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise". Is there anybody who can tell me some Chico Freeman at this level? Funny enough, this is my only Chico Freeman cd as well I've always liked it. I'm gonna spin it again for old time's sake.

The lack of an update does have me wondering if it is something serious ... Wow, he might be in a hospital.

Yeah, I guess it's better. Maybe Blue Note wants to encourage us to buy two copies, just as some of us upgrade masterings.

You are a screwed up and boring mother fucker. You aren't even funny. A thief is a thief. don't hold back paul - tell us how you REALLY feel! I cleaned up the language; but the sentiment remains.

I need to sign this guy up as my marketing agent! Only if you first buy the JJJ set. Still might pull the trigger. My wallet cries: "Mai Mee!" I'l call Mosaic to see if I can wash their windows or something....

You are a screwed up and boring moron. You aren't even funny. A thief is a thief.

I get a lot of great NFL news from this site: http://www.prosportsdaily.com/nfl/nflrumors.html

What the Hell is wrong with the old one? Looks fine to me aside from the declaration that the cover would be redone.

I need to sign this guy up as my marketing agent!

What kind of flying bugs do you have in Georgia? Likely you are suffering some kind of allergic reaction. Most bug bites aren't serious unless you're allergic. (Dr. Conn) I hate doctors but I agree with the other gentlemen. You should check in at the Emergency room.

Here are my picks: West San Antoinio over Kings 6 games Dallas over Memphis 5 games Denver over Clips 6 games Phoenix over Kobe's boys. (Sorry Noj aka Kobe) Is there a tuck-rule for Nash? Noj won't forgive them forever if there is! 7 games East Detroit over Bucks 5 games Miami over Chicago 6 games New Jersey over Indiana 6 games Cavs over Washington 7 games Round 2 West Spurs over Mavs 7 games Suns over Denver 7 games East Detroit over Cavs ($$1 buys Cavs franchise after hearbreaking loss to Detroit; promises to buy more help for Lebron.) 6 games Miami over NJ 7 games Round 3 West Spurs over Dallas (this baby's going 7 games) East Detroit over Big Daddy ($$1 tries to lure Big Daddy over to Cavs w/ a mega-deal!) 7 games Finals Detroit over Spurs (6 game rematch of last year's finals)

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has an article today claiming $$1 is making a serious bid to buy the Browns NFL franchise.

Only 7, Noj. -_-

$$1 is saving one for me.

Happy Birthday, Mark!

I'll get my picks in before Saturday. I'll just go with most of the favorites, I guess. But I do know the Final's winner: Pistons!

SS won Powerball? Don't forget your good pal, Conn!

Damn, reading/watching this thread is making me thirsty. Can't you guys post w/o pics? I'm holding off till the weekend....

Damn, I'd like to play but I don't know crap about NBA beyond the Pistons and Cavs! Why don't you guys just pick the first round first, then hold off till the next round starts before predicting the games? I'd be in game-shape by the time Conference finals rolled around!
