Bulls looked like they were going to choke this one away... they better hope that Shaq fouls out of a few more games. The Raptors' inexperience really showed in the earlier game. Given Carter's mediocre game they had a golden opportunity. Guy

Sad. He left a wonderful legacy. Guy

I wouldn't say I DISLIKE his arco work, but yeah, it's not very good. Not as bad as Ron Carter torturing the cello. Guy

A tribute to Isiah Thomas

Happy bday, Ubu!

Erik, happy birthday! Guy

I would have liked more investigation of the link between Antarctic B.O. and the hole in the ozone layer. Guy

No doubt, Crawford was way out of line. I'm just saying that if that had been Bimbo Coles or Smush Parker instead of Duncan getting that 2nd technical, Crawford might still have a job. Guy

I wouldn't be so sure about that... one message the NBA may have sent (intentionally or unintentionally) with the Crawford suspension is "don't fuck with the superstars". Miami has two players that traditionally benefit from generous refs (Shaq, Wade). Guy

Is anybody else sick of Shawn Marion's whining about being underrated? Give me a break. Guy

All the "experts" are picking the Nets over Toronto. Fuck em! Guy

This dude got kicked out of the Minnesota game tonight, apparently:

It hasn't happened since I was a sophomore in high school, but... The Warriors are going to the playoffs!!!!!!!1111!!!!1! (1's added for dramatic effect) I cannot friggin believe it... if I could afford it I would fly to game 1 in Dallas. Bring on the Mavs (and hope we can win at least one game)! Guy p.s. While it's probably unseemly to gloat on such a wonderful occasion, I can't help but post the following:

You can make fun of predictions I made at the beginning of the season: November 1st

Noj, I hope you don't mind my correction. Guy

I like the Bulls' chances as well -- they are better than they were last year, and the Heat are worse. They should push to at least 7 games if not win it outright. Guy

This is one of the funniest/wackiest music videos I've ever seen: Queen, "I Want to Break Free" According to the liner notes for Queen's Greatest Hits: Guy

Anybody heard this yet? Guy

Uh... this has been going on for a long time. Though they probably should limit the eastern conference to 3 or 4 teams a year. Guy

Man, this is ugly. Seven minutes to go and down by 30. Bleah! I guess we know who WON'T be starting any playoff games. I think I'm going to send Avery Johnson a thank you note. Guy

$&%*!!! The W's win an ugly game against the Mavs' scrubs, but the Clips steal a game against the lethargic Suns. W's gotta win tomorrow against the Blazers (or pray for a Clips loss). Though if they lose against the Blazers minus Aldridge, Roy and Randolph, they deserve the lottery. Guy
