    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    I think it comes down to people arguing different things. I saw a friend's post on FB saying something about congratulating the Ohio boy and some dumbass posts this all caps tirade about how Jordan is the greatest player ever. How did Jordan even enter the conversation? Can people just accept...

    Only because the LeBron haters are as bad as Dallas fans anymore. Way more LeBron haters on these boards than people that give LeBron credit for playing the game he has. The division between appreciators and haters is almost as bad as this past year's Presidential election.

    LeBron's contract ending lines up exactly with the renaming to the Charlotte Hornets. This is no coincidence. Book it.

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    Wow, for some reason I thought the Giants were way below that last year. I didn't realize the luxury tax kicks in at such a high payroll. $180 million? That's ridiculous.

    There are FAR more players in sports history who were in that situation and it did indeed set them up to fail. Think of all the highly touted first round NFL draft picks and the media circus surrounding them. Only to be average or terrible.

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    I think it's an obvious judgement call. The strike zone shouldn't be reviewed. That's rarely an issue. I'm talking about the extremely close/safe calls on base running or double plays. That's about all you can review. Accidentally calling a ball foul when it should have been fair shouldn't...

    Baseball is the last sport that comes to mind when it comes to officiating complaints. That doesn't mean they're off the hook. Just look at the Cardinals-Braves wild card game last year. That was a bunch of horseshit. The amount of stoppages in baseball could easily be eliminated by...

    Game was awesome. Not much to complain about with the ref'ing. The ref'ing in the NBA just tends to be pretty bad so it is indeed an easy scapegoat, but this game was all about LeBron going into LeBron mode in Q4 and the Spurs not being able to make FTs. And Ray Allen with those 3's. Damn.

    Nine Inch Nails - New album is done

    Reznor has always prided himself about the lack of backing tracks used in his live shows. Most of it is performed with real instruments. There is 100% no doubt that the Freese video is him playing. It's really obvious when he hits the cymbals and toms. Those are very tough sounds to fake.

    It's hard to gauge. This Bengals team is very different from the one that was in the '09 Hard Knocks. Mike Brown, unbelievably, has started to let Marvin run the team. Maybe he's been in the organization long enough that he's been "fostered" into the Brown family. This Hard Knocks could...

    TheOrange Tiny Terroris a combo that sounds great at lower volumes. Mainly because it's switchable from 15 watts to 7. You'd go for the 7 watt setting.
