Beckett.

No, no, it's only decent. They probably ought to have ended the series at 3.

To keep a lot of movies reputations intact, a lot should have ended with #1. Pirates and Matrix come to mind most.

No, this latest Pirates of the Caribbean was infinitely better than 2 and 3. Just goes to show how good something can't be when it isn't obligated to tie up a bunch of retarded plots.

And I was really creeped out by the

suspense/build-up to the Mermaid attack
scene. Something about it bothered me on a really emotional level, dunno why.

really you haven't heard anything about the plot DS. also rose with another 30 percent shooting night...

He pulled a Westbrook tonight but really, I have to blame Boozer even more. That guy can't play offense or defense and he's a liability. Korver also. Miami's bench stepped up while Chicago's bench, which was supposed to be better, did not. They had plenty of chances to win. Now I know how Lebron felt in Cleveland.

What would Freud say?

That white women simultaneously excite and terrify me?

Then Freud would say that you both have something in common.

So if this were the Sims, you'd be easily ****ed with.

GoT episode 7 best episode yet?

Why yes, it is.

Every new episode is the best episode yet.

i liked this pirates movie as a stand-alone film. unfortunately, the 5th one is going to be back in the world of needing to answer plot lines.

also, beefy, i think Lebron's D on rose had a lot to do with it. It is clever how they keep changing defenders on Rose, last game it was Dwade, it keeps him from getting to know any of their tendencies, which is sooo important when it comes to beating someone off the dribble. It's why Collison was succesful in the first game where he was guarding Dirk, but hasn't been since.

It made a marginal effect but it was Rose who decided to take terrible shots. He owned Wade and Lebron in that game when they guarded him but he was just terrible in the 4th and overtime. Also, when Miller starts making shots you know you don't have a chance to win. Him and Chalmers were incredibly lucky chuckers in that game. I think Chicago is going to blow them out in game 5 but I hope to God Dallas beats them in the finals after that travesty in 2006. Dirk is playing like the MVP right now and there's nobody on Miami who can stop him.

Also, Chicago might think about dealing Boozer for a 2 guard who can create his own shots. There was a suggestion of J-Rich and I would agree.

And wait a second, there will be a 5th Pirates? Wasn't it originally supposed to be a trilogy?

they are making a second trilogy now.

And 1 for 9 from 3 man... I start cheering everytime he takes one. He i TERRIBLE from out there. I don't think he owned anyone when he was shooting 8 for 27. If they force you to miss a shot, you haven't owned them.

And just watching the games, he doesn't look like he doesn't have teammates, he looks like he dominates the ball too much to get teammates involved. Boozer scored 20+ for the second straight game, he just gets so many few opportunities than Rose does. I mean, 20 points on 14 shots is WAY better than 23 on 27.

He made 4-5 great plays on the big 2. Also, Lebron was 11-26 so that's pretty bad too. They're both mediocre shooters but the difference is that Lebron doesn't have to score to win on Miami, Rose does.

If you have watched this series, you wouldn't be saying that. He HAS to dominate the ball because he's the only guy on that team that can create shots. True, Boozer scored 20+ points against Bosh, a terrible defender. However, Boozer also played zero defense and didn't really attempt to get offensive rebounds. This team has one of the best defenses I've ever seen but they lack the 2nd guy to win games like these. Even Deng made some retarded plays yesterday. All they need is one more guy who can create his own shot and they're a title team.

I have watched this series with the exception of game 1, and I just don't see it. Rose has to shoot better, or get better shot selection, one or the other. He can't keep doing this. and where was the criticism of the Bull's help all season and early in the playoffs? If anything, all anybody talked about was how the Bulls were the deeper team and would beat the Heat because the Heat only had 3 guys... Haters gonna hate.

The Bulls ARE the deeper team but it has been Miami's bench stepping up. And you CAN win 62 games during the regular season with pure defense (as been historically shown), but that doesn't do much good in the playoffs. And yes, Rose can improve his shot selection and he should. Spo has just done a terrific job at sending defenders at him.
