Rather take the big 3 in the playoffs with super-clutch Rondo than Derrick Rose and company.

Yes, you were, but in all fairness, we were all saying no to that prior to the second injury the Bulls suffered. So I'm not giving you as much credit as you'd want on that one.

Bulls are 6-1 to win title next year. Huh??
Sometimes I really wish you could short betting props.

The Heat were celebrating a little too hard:
That's champagne.

I assure you, if that was allowed, the numbers would be quite different.
Also, Alby, I feel a need to point out that the Bulls were the #1 seed in each of the past two years. That's no accident. I know you like tweaking the Chicago crowd, but some basic props are in order.

Seems like the right amount of celebrating in front of the cameras to me. Hookers come later.

I just watched the special on the 1982 Olympic Dream Team. If you haven't yet seen it, you should do so. Lots of very funny stories, esp. once they went over to Europe and were in Monte Carlo before the Olympics and once they got to Barcelona.
Ray Allen will take less money for a chance at another NBA championship.
Allen told the Miami Heat on Friday night that he intends to accept their contract offer and leave Boston after five seasons, even though the Celtics could pay him about twice as much as the reigning NBA champions will be able to next season. Miami could only offer Allen the mini mid-level, worth about $3 million a year.
Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted the news just after 9:30 p.m., or about 2:30 a.m. Saturday in Europe, where Arison has been for several days.
"I was just woken up with great news," Arison wrote. "Welcome to the family." Arison ended the tweet by making mention of Allen's jersey No. 20, and didn't mention the NBA's leading 3-point shooter by name.
A person briefed on details of the decision told The Associated Press that Arison got the word from Heat President Pat Riley, who made Allen the team's top free-agent priority - especially in recent days. Allen, who will be 37 this month, arrived in Miami on Thursday for a visit, went to dinner with Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra, team executive Alonzo Mourning and others Thursday night, then left Friday to presumably decide his future.
Hours later, the choice was made. Allen's agent, James Tanner, confirmed the decision to the AP not long after Arison's tweet.
Allen, who made a career-best 45 percent of his 3-point attempts this past season cannot officially sign until Wednesday because of the league's moratorium.
Allen becomes the latest player to be sold by Riley on the notion of sacrifice since the blockbuster summer of 2010. The Heat convinced LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all to take less money than they could have made elsewhere in that offseason, so there would be enough room left to add players like Udonis Haslem, Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller. Then last summer, Shane Battier accepted a deal that will pay him $3 million annually.,
The approach clearly worked. Next fall, the Heat will raise a championship banner, and Allen will be with them for the title defense.
"HeatNation continues to grow," Wade wrote on Twitter late Friday night. And James added, "please welcome our newest teammate Ray Allen" with the added hashtag of "Wow."
Wade and James both were involved on some level in the recruitment of Allen. James took to Twitter and Facebook in recent days to let his millions of followers know how much he wanted to see Allen in a Heat uniform, and Wade tweeted on Wednesday that the next day - the one where Allen was visiting - would be a big one for the franchise.
In the end, it appeared that the biggest push - again - came from Riley, who said before free agency started that Miami had identified "five or six" clear targets to add to the roster.
He never specifically said Allen, and given how James was letting the secret out on Twitter anyway, Riley didn't have to say anything else.
New Orleans Hornets guard Jarrett Jack asked his followers in a tweet about an hour after the Allen story broke if he was "wrong for thinking ray allen is a traitor" for signing with Miami. Even NFL stars were reacting Friday night. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick used the following hashtags on Twitter to describe his reaction to Allen's decision: "loaded," "finalpiece" and "notfair."
There's probably more than a few people in Boston who would agree.
Miami is still hoping to add at least one more piece through free agency, and is expected to meet this weekend with Marcus Camby and Rashard Lewis.
Allen was mentioned in some trade possibilities this past season, and eventually lost his starting job to Avery Bradley. Allen needed surgery earlier this offseason to remove bone spurs from his right ankle, though said when the Celtics were ousted from the playoffs by the Heat for the second straight year that his playing days were not over.
"There's still a lot of basketball left in my legs," Allen said in Miami not long after the Celtics dropped Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Heat. "I know that for sure. So it's hard to say what can happen, what may happen."
Not even a month later, Allen - who helped the Celtics win the 2008 NBA title - decided to join Miami.
Earlier this week, the Celtics reportedly agreed on a $15 million, three-year deal with shooting guard Jason Terry. But Boston also wanted to keep Allen, with general manager Danny Ainge quoted in recent days saying "we really want Ray to come back. Time will tell."
Miami wanted Allen because of its ongoing quest to keep surrounding James, Wade and Bosh with shooters who extend defenses and therefore create room around the basket for the "Big Three" to attack. That approach worked perfectly for Miami in the playoffs - the Heat were 9-1 when making at least eight 3-pointers in playoff games (7-6 otherwise), and they hit 14 in the finals-clincher over Oklahoma City.
Allen has made an NBA-record 2,718 3-pointers.

Did anyone have Ryan Dunn From Jackass FAME? He died in a fiery car crash speeding after being in a bar. And to think, everyone thought he would die doing something stupid-rah
Steve Nash on the Lakers, Ray Allen on the Heat... this off-season has been crazy and we still don't know for sure where the hottest commodity, Dwight Howard, is going.

Good news for Bulls fans: Derrick Rose is reported to be ahead of schedule on rehab.
Bad news for Bulls fans: Bulls are expected to match offer for Asik.
It would be nice if they would try to move some of the big salaries and make some moves like other teams have done. But by all reports they will wait two years to retool the team. Yeah, that worked so well the last time there were bunches of FA's available.
Mav's will have a lot of bucks to spend. It will probably be grim this year, but that's OK.

So any thoughts on Kobe's comments about the 2012 Olympic team being better than the 1992 Dream Team?
I'm assuming everyone agrees that Kobe's wrong, right?

Kobe has walked it back a bit. He now claims that all he meant was, for one game, any given Sunday, they could win one game against the 92 team. "Didn't say anything about a 7-game series," sez he.
So not even Kobe believes Kobe.

Everybody's doing all they can to move Dwight Howard
That is one crazy tradeThere are multiple moving parts in the fluid talks, but the framework of a possible deal includes Howard and Denver forward Al Harrington going to the Lakers, Philadelphia guard Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Los Angeles center Andrew Bynum moving to the 76ers, and Los Angeles forward Pau Gasol and Denver guard Arron Affalo going to the Magic, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

I thought Howard was dead-set on ending up in Brooklyn.
Why any second-tier NBA team would help capped-out big market teams stock up on more high-end talent is beyond me.

I'm so tired of Dwight Howard. Let me know when he is actually moved to another team.
Which one is the second-tier team? Denver will be getting Iguodala out of it. The Magic will ship out expensive and non-committal Dwight Howard for Pau Gasol. There's net benefits to both those teams. Meanwhile, the Sixers get Bynum when they so desperately need a center. Losing Iguodala sucks but the team is filled with tweeners like Iggy anyway.

OK, so he goes to Lakers. I'm glad that's over with thought we'll probably have to hear it all again next year when he decides he doesn't like it there, either.
Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard... holy ****ing ****. The Dream Team plays where again?
Oh yeah and the Sixers now have a big man for the first time since Mutumbo and Jason Richardson. Chicago is not a threat.
Repeat of the Sixers-Lakers Finals from a few years ago?
