Manny Goes Boom

Yeah see with my statement above, I should have put a footnote saying that I haven't seen him play much. I just didn't see much out of him (the Miami game @ the Dean Dome where they lost). Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see it. I'll have to sit down and watch them play the next time they are on ESPN. Speaking of that...anyone know when?

If your gonna tell me what to "can" I'll fire right back..."can" all this mumbo jumbo junk that makes no sense and can this porn talk and inuendos about nasty crap. It's old and all of you are getting old. If you want to join in, bring intelligent talk about sports, or other appropriate stuff in the Off-Topic chat. Thanks have a nice day!

Well if your going to stay on board your going to have to be able to tolerate them, there are quite a large group of very respectable and very good posters here who are Yankee fans. So if your planning on staying get used to them.

Please, Please, PLEASE don't tell me and all the other basketball minds on this forum that you think Kobe Bryant is better than Jordan or Wilt. Because if you are you need to examine more carefully the difference between the three. And hes not on Jordan or Wilt's level. I for one think he can be but hes lacking things, like making his teammates better, which is something Jordan did well. And don't give me that garbage that Jordan had a better supporting cast...Kobe didn't make his teammates better when they won the three rings it was Shaq who made them better and Kobe benefitted from having Shaq and now hes doing his thing by himself. One thing you are right about is that 81 points is alot. But when you shoot 41 shots (thats alot too) it was a matter of both, but when you do launch up 41 shots from JUST the field you better shoot 64% or your gonna find yourself on the bench for about a week's worth of games.

He obviously had a bad night, and he took his statements too far, but he DID have a point. But he didn't need to say that, he should have just said "Nice performance..." and left it at that.

Isn't he like 18 or 19 years old? Kinda young to judge him yet I agree with you 26 to 6, can't say one way or the other yet.

Welcome. Good to have you back Tex.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that a road win in the ACC is a tough thing to accomplish and thats definately a feat worth being excited about for the BC fans, especially at the Dean Dome.

HAHAHAHA, I didn't get Madden and I'm working on getting XBOX Live (I need a diff internet provider, but my parents who pay the bill are reluctant to switch from AOL) I got Ridge Racer 6. The whole thing is amazing, I absolutely love it. I've put some songs on it and plan on using it to its fullest capabilities. But I will let you know if I get XBOX Live and Madden so you can destroy me (I'm not great at Madden ) Anyway, I have tremendous respect for UNC(even though I don't like 'em), always a solid program and have some sort of talent, which is either young and unproven and a year or so away; or experienced and superstars and ready for a deep run at the championship.

They still have David Noel who can jump outta the gym, and I guess that freshman Tyler Hansborough is something (I don't see it at all, I see a tall kid who's just benefitting from his height).

Good call, thanks, still a strong group though regardless of rank. I had switched rooms at my house and my new room is not hooked up for cable yet (and I got an XBOX 360) so I haven't really bothered recently.

Not only that but a win like that over a (ranked I think...I haven't seen the polls in like 2 weeks) team can help their RPI come Selection Sunday.

Good, beat the ol' Tar Heels. Nice win for the Eagles.

LMAO

LOL Are those for sale? I might need to buy one

Only Ron Artest does better (he's not even HURT and he's just sitting at home making his millions, which are somewhere around 7)

It's one or the other not both. Nobody here meant both. But I have a question...why is everyone acting like the box of cereal is the only option available in baseball. Theres plenty of options. Theo is a mad scientist when it comes to making deals. Here's what I say, drop the Crisp idea off at General Mills, and find someone else.

What would you rather see him do...go to the Lakers?

WHOAH there nelly...back the haterade truck up. Vince is indeed capable of dropping 81 points, alot of players in this league are, it just depends on what team you place them on. For instance lets swap Vince and Kobe, put Kobe in New Jersey and Vince in LA. Vince, in the Raptors game as the Lakers starting shooting guard could easily drop 81. So could guys like T-Mac, Stoudemire, Ray Allen, etc. Kobe, on a Nets team would indeed still be putting up phenominal numbers but not quite as astronomical. Because of the system the Nets have. The Nets have an all-star point guard in Jason Kidd (who was and some would debate still is the best point guard in the NBA), an up and coming star in Richard Jefferson, and Kobe (remember we traded Kobe for Vince straight up). Those are thre viable scoring options compared to (we, for the sake of this argument and using majority opinion will say..) 1 option for the Lakers, which is Vince (really Kobe but you get it...). And to say that he wouldn't get double covered in NJ is true because RJ will burn you, but if Kobe was ACTUALLY in NJ and took that many shots with the other two guys he's playing with, he would look like an idiot, and a selfish player who has no concept of team ball. Which is his perception by many people who watch or know basketball to any degree at all. Anyway, if Vince was a Laker, he would get 41 shots a game and be able to take 20 free throws (Kobe's shot attempts off-hand, I only looked at the box-score once due to my hatred for Kobe) a game. Kobe also lofted up some threes. I THINK it was like 7. OK so that adds up to: 41 attempts from the field (82 possible Points) 7 attempts from the land of milk and honey (21 possible Points) 20 Free-Throw attempts (20 possible Points) Now no perosn will shoot 100% from the field but thats a possible 123 points. Kobe had a hot night and I wouldn't call him the sharpest shooter in the NBA. Other guys could do it. Before you say they couldn't put them on the Lakers.

Welcome

The Suns already played the Lakers, beat them both times, and Kobe didn't score (off hand not positive) 81 in the two games. Sorry but we're better than that. And better than the Lakers. To your point about the game last night against Seattle, the Sonics shot 54% percent from the field, have more than one guy whos capable of going off for 40 (Ray Allen did) at any given night, and have 3 guys who shoot over 90% from the foul line. That game was screaming a shootout.

Date & Time..........Favorite..............Spread........ .....Underdog 2/5 6:30 ET............. Pittsburgh............. -3.5..................Seattle Total Points Scored in the Super Bowl :....................___76__ Pts.

It was 301, but it shoulda been more. Ray Allen should NEVER have been that open. EVER. But that shouldn't suprise you See Red you know the offensive firepower of the Suns and Sonics. Marion had 37 12 (ish) and like 6 blocks. Bell played well too. I just can't wait for Amare to return... :thumbsup: If he started like he played in the 4th and both OT's we would be talking about Ray Allen going for like 70-80 also. Remember he had 24 in the 4th quarter alone. Oh and to those who say Kobe has absolutely NOBODY on his team to pass to...does Lamar Odom ring a bell? He's a pretty damn good player, and needs to shoot more. But whatever, the Lakers will struggle to reach the playoffs, if not miss them entirely. Their a mediocre team and having Kobe put up rediculous numbers doesn't always translate into victories, or they would be undefeated and running away with the West and they are FAR from that.

Dude, bouquet sounds like bow-kay. It's not bowyeah. Its booyeah.
