never really understood the term "act black". does acting black mean listening to rap? swearing? talking entirely in slang? pants that dont fit? gotta limp everywhere? cause if so i see more white people "acting black" than black people



edit: fixed the worst typo ever

I never said that. I do think the Cavs chances of winning it all next year is pretty good too. With Bynum back, the Lakers should be a better team considering that they still have a pretty young core.

There are unquestionably some bad calls in the NBA as there are in a lot of sports but they also happen in regular season games which don't necessarily have much impact on the outcome of the season. They don't stand out as much though because the games don't carry as much weight.

If the league is rigging the Playoffs year-in, year-out by way of shading officiating, they could be doing a much better job of it. They could have have Lakers/Celtics in 2002 but didn't. They also could have done Lakers/Knicks in 2000 but that's not the way it went down. Matchups such as Spurs/Nets and Spurs/Pistons don't exactly match a pattern of getting the biggest markets or most widely popular teams into the Finals either.

That's the plan, to make people think it's not rigged. They used the Spurs & Pistons and now everyone will say what you just said.

Can't you see? Now it'll be Lakers - Celtics for another 10 years and then they'll give the Bobcats and the Raptors a chance and then the Knicks and Chicago will battle it out in the East etc, etc.

Just admit it, you know the NBA is rigged.

I would, but the "loyalty" chip they implanted prevents me from revealing what I know about the conspiracy. :shifty:

That's because you are from Boston, the most racist city in the country is ironicly filled with white wanna be gangstas.

... When you create a player with a ‘THICK’ build and place him on either the Bobcats or Thunder, the game will crash when entering the game.

That being said, we only have 5 existing players in the league who are ‘THICK’ builds:

Glen Davis
Shaquille O’Neal
Eddy Curry
Jerome James
Michael Sweetney

Workaround: Don’t put a ‘THICK’ build created player OR one of the above players on the Bobcats or Thunder and the game won’t crash.

Really?..name 2 rap songs that came out "these days" that are about rape while I sit here and wait with my bullshit goggles on. I know you'll know the answer because only someone who obviously listens to alot of today's rap music would say something like that.

Face it, your non-capitalization is now affecting your typing skills.

That's because the NBA doesn't want an Antoine Walker led team to reach the Finals. Miami was ok because he's only a roleplayer on that team, not the superstar.

Knicks in 2000 wouldn't do either. The league owes Larry Bird and Indiana in exchange for letting the Bulls past them during their series in 1998.

does anyone remeber i think Game 2 of the finals, where Powe had an explosive game, 12pts in about 10 mins, got a ton of rebs/blocks, e.t.c, during the halftime, they show a special documentary of Powe, about where he's from, what hes been through and his childhood(was actually a very touching story)
i just want to know is it just a coincedence(i didn't like my english teacher :D ) that he played good on the day they showed the video or it was because he played good they showed it? :?: :?

I presume they would have planned to run that as the halftime story ahead of time so I'd say it was a coincidence.

Haven't you already posted this?

If you hit 'Play Now' you'd figure out that it's just a simple game, where you have to spot differences in two Finals related pics. Like in this example, the towel his green-white on the left, and only green on the right.
