We'll have to disagree about how big a role the officials played. Otherwise, you essentially concede my point. I agree that the Kings probably should take it from the Lakers this year. If the Kings can't do it with the Lakers wounded and self-doubting, then they may go into a "dammit we...

Nope. It's a team game. No way the Lakers get anywhere interesting without any one of those three - though they probably at least make the playoffs, and probably contend, with any two of them plus whoever else they pay for instead of the one you leave out. [b] Um, how many times do we...

[/b] Heck, there were many arguments I've made that you haven't responded to either. I guess I should harp, for instance, on the inability of a Duncan or a Garnett to make his own shot or to take over a critical game - at least one explanation for their relatively sorry playoff records...

Championships... oh yeah, and giving the Spurs a playoff ass-whipping so bad they still can't sit down without feeling it. [/b] Great job by the Spurs, but kind of a weird record - given the peculiar situation that led to their extended roadtrip. It's kind of like holding the record for most...

Shooting pctg. not bad considering his position and role. He's been shooting around 50% during this streak he's on. He's in the top 5 in steals. Very high in rebounding and assists for an off-guard. [b] I could say ask Mike Ditka about stats. Anyway, like I said, I don't see the...

Actually, I think the stats make a good argument for Kobe, and I think you way underrate his defense, his playmaking abilities, and his ability, when called on, to get his own shot. That he's so often forced to take the desperation shot when time is running out also skews his shooting pctgs...

Answers: Absolutely. Probably with the mature Kobe - whom we may only be seeing now - but we don't know yet whether Kobe will turn out to be as durable as MJ, another key factor in MJ's greatestness. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Damn - you're making me recall just how great the...

] I agree the tendonitis is worrisome. Good thing Kobe's working on his outside game - in addition to setting new single-game records, he's hitting almost 40% of his 3's this year. Supposedly, it was his "weakness." [b] That's one thing great players do - always improve whatever part...

[/b] Coach says he wants Kobe to score more, get started earlier - result: Kobe goes on the greatest offensive tear by any player in the NBA in a decade, if not since Wilt, and almost singlehandedly moves the Lakers into playoff position. If you haven't been able to enjoy it, then you're a...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/847338/posts excerpt: "Whatever the answer, it is clear that the relationship between Chirac and Hussein is long and complex, and not altogether easy to understand. That relationship does not, by itself, explain all of France's policies toward Iraq or...

A sequel to JACKASS?

Dudes... It's like the big guy who's called "Tiny," and the bald guy who's called "Curly," and John Wayne's real name was "Marion" wasn't it? And we all know about Rock Hudson, don't we? "Fruity Pebbles" is by far the mas macho name on this board. He gets -50 gay points right off the bat...

Priceless propaganda:

Here's a link to the video that I think you're talking about: http://brain-terminal.com/articles/video/peace-protest.html

13%... but they said at the end that I'm really just "straight-acting."

He left himself some wiggle room (unlike the much more clumsy Schroeder earlier this year). Chirac may have entered on a high, but by the time summit was over, the situation appeared to have changed. As I noted on another thread, referring to an early article from the UK Herald...

Chirac finding pro-US stances hard to stomach MICHAEL SETTLE AMID the mocha coffee and the petits four, Jacques Chirac lost the argument. Shortly afterwards at his press conference, he lost his temper too. Sources keeping a delicate diplomatic distance in the grand European Council dining...

...I voted for #1, but I think that there are good arguments for #2 and #3 as well, and they may not be mutually exclusive. But maybe that's what makes a good poll. Frequently on Saturday evenings, I visit a Barnes and Noble, pick up some books for the next week, stop at restaurant called...
