I can't stop staring into something(plural) else as well. How does benji find these stuff so quickly? :P

So, half's over. Miller is looking good. Hope he gets more minutes. And we need a triple double from Bron. Wade seeming cool as well.

Look at those zeroes on the score overlay clock. They look like vertically-oriented oblate spheroids.

Now now benji, take this seriously. This is how serial killers or terrorists tweet. Also, he seems to be obsessed with dead dogs.

Great clutch shot by Parker although this game might not be done yet.
EDIT:
Nice win by the Spurs, sticking to my prediction.

Fuck. Uncalled for.

We need Joe Crapford back. He needs to step up and not allow Tim Duncan to walk around the floor like the best powerford in the history of mankind. Joe needs to hit him with a technical, and get him into early foul trouble with couple great calls.

The Heat will even up the series in next one anyways.

Because he's a pussy. He developed that aspect of his game so he could play away from the post more. Just shoot midrange jumpers and threes all game if possible.

Bosh was fantastic at long twos this season. Killer really. He shoots better there than closer in.

The problem is that it's encouraged him to step out for the extra point even though his percentage drops like shadowgrin in front of a naked Kobe.

I don't get it. You only "root" for a team when you are a true fan of that team.
shadowgrin wrote:has no idea how fandom works in sports outside of being a bandwagoner or fanboy.

Confirmed.
lol at 'true fan'. :facepalm2:

Otherwise, you make predictions & give your thoughts on who will win.

So you're the boss of people now? Telling them what to do? Suck it Bruce Springsteen.

But so far the journey has been people rooting for Bulls, Pacers & now Spurs. Where does this "rooting" come from? Just for the sake of matchup? Then why did people "root" for the injured Bulls at the first place? Same trend. Only Spurs is understandable because "their organization is awesome and they have the greatest PF of all time." But the others?

1. Underdog, bastards that never give up like Batman.
2. Underdog, Hibbert, Paul George, best defense in the league, hearing Frank Vogel interviews.

Sports narratives.

Firstly, I like the Springsteen reference. Nice one. And no, I'm not the boss of "people". That's what you(one in general from a 3rd person perspective, not you you) do. Unless, you root for 6-7 teams in the NBA. That's a different case.

shadowgrin wrote:1. Underdog, bastards that never give up like Batman.
2. Underdog, Hibbert, Paul George, best defense in the league, hearing Frank Vogel interviews.

Again, score with the Batman reference. I don't really have anything against that "underdog" logic, it's just silly to me. Like rooting for Hornswoggle when he is fighting Kane. Just one thing, how come Bucks didn't end up here? They were also underdogs. Nobody seemed to chant for them, not even with the Jennings in 6 statement.

Yes, touch your quote more. Nothing cooler than that. I'm all ears to your definition of "fandom" btw.
