Halle FTW 😐

Not that I'm calling you gay but I cant believe that you would only think of it as a "possibility" if you had the chance to bang her. Every straight man would bang Jessica Alba and not even question it or call her bony if they had the chance to do so. Haha oh well, like Koolruningz said I guess you got a different stroke from other folks.

Sacramento is just really underrated on chick quality. It doesn't get noticed because it's a lot smaller than S.D. and LA and the nightlife here is a joke. But like I said, it's extremely ethnically diverse and the woman are very hot.

I think it got rated the 5th best city for singles and it has always ranked high on the fittest cities.

Awesome, good to know, if I'm ever in the area I just won't speed through like I probally would have.

Preach it brotha!

Alba is overrated but I would never pass up the chance to tap that ass, only if I had to choose between her and Eva Mendez, then I would have to go with Eva.

Column on Dirk being MVP

A worthy read by the Sports Guy

😆 Avery's had enough of Dirk behaving like a pussy.

"I'm tired of hearing about how they've taken him out of his game and any lack of confidence. You're just not supposed to have that, all right," said Johnson, perhaps team's most intense player even though he's no longer playing.
"I wasn't the best of players and didn't have the best of skills, but you were not going to shake my confidence. We need all of our players to be confident, to be resilient, to be persistent and that's what I want to see tomorrow. If I don't see it at shootaround, I'm going to be highly upset ... because I need to have it going into that game tomorrow night. We've got to be confident and really sure about what we're doing."

No...

Any WHITE man would bang her and not question her bony'ness. Black men need something to grasp in the heat of passion 😐 Alba has nothing.

Hardly, pftt.... 🙄

Just sounds like another douche bag with an opinion and a proper forum which serves as his tool to promote his mindless drivel.

Now you're prob asking yourself after having read what I just said..yeah, so what's the difference between him and us?.

Well, for one thing at least we have respect for the game. He kept referring to the NBA as a 'terrible league' and yet not fully explaining his beef with it. I can't take anyone's opinion seriously after saying something like that. I'd like to know what his example of a good league is...baseball? Hockey? pfttt. yeah right whatever. The former is one of the most corrupt leagues in sports with scandal after scandal of betting on games, fixing games, steroid use etc. The latter needs to promote legal fighting in order to attract fans.

Also, whether or not you feel Dirk deserved the MVP for the regular season is one thing but to berate the guy and say he's not even worthy of consideration is ridiculous. The only comment I agree with is when he says that Dirk has very little defense if any, which is true and it's the same reason why I felt Nash didn't deserve the MVP as well and yet he's been the MVP twice and we all know what a monster defensive force Nash can be. That being said I bet this douche bag would vote for Nash in a heartbeat.

In conclusion yeah perhaps Dirk isn't the most skilled, athletic or best all around player in the NBA but that's not what the MVP award is about. It's about being an instrumental tool in helping your team achieve success and I believe with the exception of this first round playoff series Dirk did just that by leading his team. Whether or not you believe he should win is your own opinion but to say he isn't worthy at all is just ridiculous. If Nash won it twice I see no reason why Dirk shouldn't win it this year. Let's not forget that the Suns almost got eliminated last year as well by the Lakers. And we now see more than ever how much a healthy Amare means to that team and to Nash.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I admit the NBA as a league is not without it's faults and there are things that need to be fixed with it same as any league, certain rules, officiating..etc. and I also believe it's time for Stern to step down but those are problems that are present in other leagues as well and again to just write it off as a 'terrible league' is ridiculous and shows complete disrespect to the game IMO.

In context, he means the competition is terrible. NO ONE CAN DENY THE LEAGUE HAS GONE DOWN A LOT IN TERMS OF BASKETBALL INTELLECT AND DEFENSE.

You can carry the ball like no one's business (Nash, LeBron), spin and leave you pivot foot taking you about 10 feet (Wade), stuff like that.

And Dirk has not been an MVP. I had a discussion about Kobe yesterday and how Nash is so much better. But come on! If Kobe had the Marion and Amare... come on. Dirk has a team full of players who work hard and he is getting these numbers against a different era of defense where no one takes pride in playing defense (in general).

I always said if you swarm Dirk and jump as he is about to release, you can bother him (do not jump with him because he has a late release, come under him and jump as he comes down and it bothers him). He is not versatile. His ego is fragile. He is not a leader. He is not an MVP

Some people may disagree with me, but I think Simmons knows what he talks about. He watches a ton of games and generally gets the league better than most other sports writers.

I disagree when he says it's a terrible league but it was a pretty shitty season this year. The biggest topic this season wasn't even about any of the players or teams, it was about Oden and Durant. Simmons doesn't have a beef with the league. He just think the quality is terrible compared to the 90's and the 80's which is true. I mean I'm happy for the Rapters making the playoffs and all but when I watch them, the only thing that comes into my mind is how they would be fodder for the 90's playoff east teams.

One of Simmons points that I thought was true was how you could stick a similar player to Dirk's level (ie Bosh, Garnett, Brand) and the Mavericks would probably have the same record. You can't say that for Nash, T-Mac, or Kobe. The Rockets would be nothing without T-Mac being a true Superstar, the Lakers would struggle without Kobe being far and away the best scorer in the L, the Suns would be a complete mess without the ultimate quarterback in Nash. The Mavs? like I said, stick Bosh in there and I bet they have pretty much the same record.

I don't see where Simmons said he wasn't a worthy candidate. He had him third in his MVP list a week or two ago. He is just making the point that he shouldn't be MVP considering Nash, T-Mac, and even Kobe have bigger impacts for there team that Dirk does.

Mmmm I disagree Doc. Last year Dirk proved he was one of the top 5 players in the league, and you can't replace a top 5 iplayer n the league, even if there names are Bosh, Brand, or Garnett.Dirk can stretch the defense with his 3(Brand and Bosh can't do that) and his inside/outside game is better than Garnetts. Plus he was the best player on the best team of the season, that pretty much spells MVP. You can't exclude the man's talents just because he is having a shitty series, and he can still turn it around.

Nets have to foul...

ETA

Damn that was a good game. If he had drained that you would have been able to hear a pin drop in that arena. Would have sent the Raptors fishing.

So. . . . . . . .C . .l . . .o . . .s. . .e 🤪

Boki just had an off game, a really off game. Congrats Raps, but I believe we'll take Game 6.

Who's getting blown out now? 🙂 😎

Maybe the Mavs have finally discovered what they should've known all series long. THAT THEY CAN SCORE ON THIS TEAM AT WILL!

Now we'll just have to wait and see if it sticks.

Btw, they called a BS foul on Bosh in that Raptors game. I'm glad they ended up winning.

Bosh may have been called for a lot of cheap fouls, but the Nets as a whole were essentially ripped by the calls tonight. (Not being biased)

But I'm not blaming the refs for the loss. We should have won it regardless.

Notice how the Warriors got back into the game. Turnovers by the Mavs and they started shooting jump shots again instead of taking it inside like they were doing early on.

Once the Mavs had the 21 point lead, I changed to Fresh Prince.

Then I happened to check again and one of the Warriors hit a 3.

Now, they're only down by 7. 31

Damn, I knew the Warriors were going to make a run, but I didn't think they would make in the last two minutes of the 1st half. If Dallas concentrated on finnising, instead of crying, maybe they would have finnished the half, but you gotta give credit to the Warriors for the comeback, 2nd half should be interesting

BTW, refs are sucking ass this game, but atleast there sucking ass on both sides of the court.

Wow! This game is f*ckin insane! Win or Lose, I'm happy as a fan of the game. 🙂
