What is he a Steelers fan?

Nope. He's from Baltimore, graduated from Towson. He just hates Ray Lewis. It's the only ****y thing about him.

[ragnorok99]

He always ends his "Ponder This" column with a Ray Lewis joke. I hardly laugh at those anymore. I do enjoy his captions.

The captions are great. I don't even care that much about the ignorance in the Ray jokes, it's mainly that they're not funny and he can do better.

I don't see any team beating the Lakers 4 times in a series. They've been in every game they played, and even the ones they lose they had a chance to win. They are just too quick on both sides of the ball, and the length of Odom and Gasol is really bothering teams (i'd hate to see them with Bynum in there!). Now Ariza is back, he can bother Ginobli and Parker with his defense and thats all they really have to do to stop them on offense.

I don't know why they keep starting Radmanovic. He doesn't Provide anything really. he's a weak rebounder for his size, plays virtually no defense and a streaky shooter who's usually cold.

they should either Swap him for Ariza or shuffle Odom down to SF and put in Turiaf at PF(who is a beast by the way, particularly on defense).

looks like the table is being set for a Lakers/Celtics matchup. it's going to draw lots of viewers fo sure, hoping it goes 7 games, couple this with Team USA destroying every country in the olympics and this is just what the NBA needs (wheres my thumbs up smiley?).

ok maybe that's thinking too far ahead, but as long as the Spurs aren't in the finals, the Finals should be great!

It will probably be the highest rated NBA championship since Jordan retired.

holy cow. I guess theres going to be another Lakers parade down Figueroa Street, honestly it's going to be almost impossible to beat them 4 times in a series the way they've been playing.

[minford]

Maaaaaaaaan, my boy sure sucked it up that series. The Spurs need some better & younger role players to take the double teams away from the Holy Trinity.

there not yours anymore. You're a magic fan again now that the Spurs are out. You were just a temp spurs fan just because You wanted to support someone for the playoffs.

He can always become a Laker fan like me. But once your in, there is no getting out. Keep that in mind Jon.

I doubt that's for Jon, he's a commitment-phobe.

Celtics vs. Lakers!

Just what the NBA needed. David Stern just creamed himself.

I'm a closet Kobe fan now. Does this mean I can't get out?

I think it means that you need to come out of the closet.

ZING!

[minford]

With Arenas opting out of his contract on June 30th and D-Wade supposedly up for trade w/ one year left, who would want some magic to happen and swap those guys? I'm torn. I like D-Wade's game better (although Arenas is a better shooter and is hella awesome) but I really like Arenas' personality. His blogs rule!

Dunno. Tough choice, but I'd say keep Arenas:

--They both have injury histories.

--They both have great skills, though D-Wade has accomplished more.

--But Arenas already knows how to play with Jamison/Butler and the rest.

--Arenas has a definite personality edge.

Nope, your stuck in that closet.

I thought the beef was squashed, so this really surprised me! and made me laugh

Shaq just cant move on. He's angry that he will never win another NBA title. Kobe still has plenty of time left to win another one.

[Sub-Zero]

after Kobe told police that Shaq allegedly raped girls and paid them off to be quiet, I think Kobe deserves whatever he gets from Shaq. And until he wins a title without Shaq, the question remains, Kobe how does that a** taste?!?!

[Sub-Zero]

my cousin just told me that Shaq made a statement that it was all jokes and that Kobe and Shaq use to battle and diss each other in the locker room.
