  1. oh man oh man oh man an entire episode of Greek based around Beaver. I love it!

    Loved that episode, Beav is my favorite character on the show, by far.

    And I haven't seen all of the week episode, but the girl that Rusty kissed is obvious, right?

  2. Chelsea forum's currently 'asploding over rumours that the David Luiz negotiations have been completely aborted.

    It would be funny if it hadn't happened so many times before.

    And if Chelsea hadn't loaned out Kakuta and PVA to Fulham and Leicester respectively earlier today, leaving us with a smaller squad than Wigan and the distinct possibility of ending this transfer window with fewer players than the few we had going in.

    Some newspapers here in Portugal are claiming that the negotiations are still going

  3. Beasting right now with Benfica, 2nd season, won the title last year, going for the CL this year. I have a monster team up front: Neymar and Cardozo as my striker, Ganso as my AMC, Giuliano in the right and Gaitan in the left. It's wonderful

    Got Rosicky on a loan too, and was very close of adding Kaka and Gago

  5. I picked it up. NBA 2K11 is right up there with MLB: The Show. It is consistently good and the presentation is amazing. I love how the commentators will talk about a player, switch to the action on the court, and then continue their conversation.

    Basically, it's the player's stamina. If you sprint with the player for a long time, it empties. Also, it is an easier way to see if the player is hot or not...

  6. The only thing you can take from New York is percentages due to their style of play. And I think Carmelo could be the #1 guy, but I keep coming back to I just don't think there would be enough shots to go around for it to make a huge difference and Rose is the #1 guy in Chicago, they aren't lacking an alpha dog.

    I think that 'Melo could be willing to have the ball in his hands a little less, to be apart of a pseudo Big 3

    But I would only want Melo if the price wasn't too high. Like Simmons said:

    6. Chicago

    Love the Rose-Noah-Boozer trio. All three play hard and complement each other. Actually, that's the biggest reason I didn't want Chicago to make a run at Carmelo. On paper, yeah … Carmelo is a better player than Noah. But why break up the Boozer-Noah combo just to get a crunch-time scorer when you already have a creator in Rose? Lose Noah and you're losing a top-3 rebounder/shot-blocker, a total gamer, one of the most unselfish players in the league, and -- most importantly -- someone who allows Boozer to defend the other team's inferior big guy and just worry about scoring and crashing the boards. The dirty little secret of the 2010 Finals was this: Size does matter. When two teams crank up the defense in a Game 7 to "WE ARE TRYING AS HARD AS WE POSSIBLY CAN" heights and the pressure rises accordingly, suddenly it's about protecting the paint, the rim and the boards. That's it. The Celtics couldn't do it. That's why they lost. And that's why they got bigger this summer.

    Back to the Bulls: You can't tell me that shaking things up so Carlos Boozer is your No. 1 rim/paint/backboard defender was a smart direction. Especially after we watched what happened with Utah these past few years. You win titles with rebounding and defense, and also with one guy who can create offense when you absolutely need it. Knowing this -- and we know this -- how does it make sense to trade Noah and Deng for Carmelo when you already have Derrick Rose? And by the way, when does Carmelo's NBA résumé of inspiring playoff flameouts start to override his Syracuse title during a horrible college basketball year? Aren't we there? Or close? I like that the Bulls stood pat. Smart move.

  7. Deng, Taj and a 1st? I am jumping at that. The rumored Deng, Noah, Taj and a 1st would have been an terrible deal. Yeah, you add Carmelo, but you lose an top 10 Defensive Center, a guy that will do absolutely everything to win, a perfect compliment to Booz and the centerpiece for the new coach's defense
