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

I'd go to the dentist. Guy

John Hollinger has a good plan for reducing late-season tanking by crappy teams:

I think his comments may have gone further than simply an assessment of the Nazis' PR and marketing skills -- "beautiful" and "amazing" are not neutral words. Guy

Maybe you'll get your wish. (I hope not.) Also, ref Joey Crawford has been suspended for improper conduct. Guy

You know, this one is growing on me. Not their greatest work, but if you like their sound then you will probably like this one.

I'll admit I haven't been following this story closely -- what are "the totally bogus real-estate conditions"? guy A huge (and inceredibly ugly) condo was erected right next to Tonic (actually condos went up on both sides, but the big blue one on the corner is more relevant to this story). In the course of contruction, the basement to Tonic was structurally damaged. The condo owners then supposedly reported to the city that Tonic's basement was unsafe, and it was condemned. Meanwhile, Tonic's landlord upped the rent from $5K to $10K, which is far more than the upstairs of Tonic alone could support. Now the building that Tonic was in will likely be demolished to make room for more condos. That's messed up. I'd assumed they were just complaining about rising rents in the neighborhood. Guy

I disagree. Guy

I ordered this from yourmusic back in December, and FINALLY popped in disc 1. This music is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the set. Guy

I listened to this one for the first time in a while today. Very nice album. I need more Quebec in my collection, I suppose. Guy
