I hope to read another hundred of these before the week is over. Great read about a great man. RIP, Tony.

Kurkjian's was pretty good.

That fucker used to refer to himself, in the third person, as "Will The Thrill" on his answering machine message.

I think the only "fluke" part is the unlikely scorer of the goal, not that the goal was scored, or how it came to be (a perfect corner kick).

It's like he blew his entire wad in the first 8 mins of the game! Yeah, a 17pt first quarter with a 7pt lead looks impressive until you realize that's not sustainable for another 36mins. My point is that I feel like since he got to Miami, he learned to play with a supporting cast (which is easy to do when they're, you…

In short: I think he felt like he had to do everything himself (scoring over 30% of his teams points), and he compounded that by looking very pouty throughout the series (especially the last two games). That team is better when he's not the sole source of offense, but that's what he tried to be, every night...

And I can't find enough praise for the organization—for Buford, who played to strengths no one realized the team had, for Popovich, who has managed to adapt in a way that few coaches could, and for Duncan, who's been doing his thing for 17 years, never at the expense of what his team is trying to accomplish.

The four lopsided wins are more worth focusing on than the one 2pt loss.

Miami fans are too uninformed and ambivalent to bother with excuses.

He had very little help this series and totally retreated to his former Cavs self - can't disagree with that assessment at all.

This one feels really, really good - especially with all four wins being total thrashings. Eat shit, Miami!

it's been replaced (presumably only temporary) - check the book spines...

I'm not reading this review. Why? I thought the first installment was going to suck, and completely wrote it off. Then it came out...and my sister, who I share the same sense of humor with and who is critical of EVERYTHING...tells me "dude, go see it. I know what you're thinking but it's fuckin' funny." Then I had to…

Thrilled to see this mentioned in the comments. This game was fucking hard - Without having too many specific memories of it, I'm confident in saying that I never got close to beating it.

Are you saying Greg Oden wasn't the answer???

This isn't getting enough appreciation; +1 SEC filing

There are plenty of horribly mismanaged franchises that deserve their futility year after year (Cleveland, New York, Sacramento, Minnesota), and there are several others who are really just one guy away from serious contention (Atlanta, Washington, Houston, Golden State, Portland, Chicago, Dallas). That first group…

Is there one of those across from MGH, right near Hill Tavern? I stayed at The Liberty for a long time last year, and found that place OK, nothing too special.

Didn't mean to imply they weren't warranted; all I meant was that it kept the Spurs best Lebron defender either on the bench or less aggressive while playing (as a result of the accumulated fouls). The reffing overall was fine last night - they for the most part let them play, and the cheapies went both ways.

Foul trouble didn't help him, either. He was absent on offense and limited on defense.
