Classy?

I don't know if a social network with an option for "random play" in the looking for category can be called classy, but that's probably just me.

LBJ the new 23

Lebron? overrated!? Whoever thinks that needs a whoopin'. Lebron is the most physically dominating player in the league. As a high-school senior he was 6'8" and around 240 lbs. D-Howard is probably the best physical specimen in the league, but he's 6'10" and kinda slow. Lebron can play the 1-4, and could probably match up against a smaller 5 (center). Defense still a little weak, but by no means awful. Best finisher for his size (yes, a better...

are you saying hegemony=good?

I'm a bit confused here. Unilateralism is often used to negotiate terms of an issue i.e. nuclear arms proliferation (whether it be multilateral: many parties working on the same issue, or unilateral: one party). Unipolar/Bipolar are terms in IR that describe the hegemonic state of the international political system. If the issue at hand is debating whether a unipolar or multipolar international system is best, then I think that should be clearly stated. Which are we talking...

Re: Re: Obama

Yeah, it's probably true that Obama's team is using the same tactics as the "scumbags" of D.C. Aside from that, it would be amazing to have a minority as the President of U.S. He's the son of an immigrant (which makes him most attractive to me, as I am also the son of an immigrant. and yeah he's good looking..but so am I. So, we have a lot in common we're kind of bff's). Hilary has too much to protect, and Obama not much to lose. If experience...

motivation

LeBron dropped 41 @ Los Angeles to get the W. In Toronto a few weeks ago, Chris Bosh's girlfriend and some of her friends were heckling LBJ due to his poor performance. He missed a dunk! How embarrassing. Then, in the 4th quarter. He lit it up, and took over to get the Win for his team. After being swept in the finals, he was mad. Worked on his game and now he has that missing jumpshot. When Amare is heckled, or isn't doing well, you can tell he kind of gets frustrated, the...

CP3 for MVP

Chris Paul is, in my opinion, 2nd only to Steve Nash at the PG position. He can give you 25 pts, 12 ast, and 7 or 8 rebounds, a few steals, and is a great leader on/off the court. Who would have thought that the New Orleans Hornets have a 32-12 record (as of 29 Jan). It's pretty much him, David West, and Tyson Chandler out there, but there's no doubt he makes his team better. To go into San Antonio and dominate that team in their home stadium is something even our Phoenix...

the future

I'm still debating on the issue myself, however, I have heard compelling arguments on both sides. One pro-India side gave the economic benefits Kashmir would receive. If integrated with India, it would have the same booming economy, rising currency, and increased foreign interest that the rest of the nation does. Just a thought, not necessarily mine. -Abhijeet

too comfortable

The Suns are an amazing team. Offensively one of the best in league history. However, it's still the regular season and we all know it means nothing. Regardless of all the referee scandals and big shot bob, the suns can't play defense. I watched the Suns play the Utah Jazz a few weeks ago, and I saw Amare who's a freakish athlete let Mehmet Okur, an old man post him up and score many times. This can't stand in the playoffs with better post players like Timmy D or...

New York Football Giants

Patriots have shown their weaknesses, and the Giants can definitely capitalize on them. The rushing duo of Jacobs/Bradshaw might confuse the Pats' D, since both can run and catch the ball. Plax has to have a big game against the smaller, weaker corners of the patriots, but watch out for Asante Samuels. Don't believe that Tom Brady is 100%, like the post below says. That will be on his mind, and his team's mind. Oh yeah, and the ferocious front 7 for NY with Osi...

both are good

sms is a wonderful technology and can be very convenient in some situations. To have a conversation, though, it's definitely better to call. I feel that having long conversations over text is impersonal (unless in class..uh I mean you should pay attention in class, kids) and shows lack of care by both parties (or the party that started the text chain).

DAVID TYREE

what a game!! New York pulled through. Go Giants. Bill Belicheck walked off the field early. Sore loser.

unclear

They said Shaq was past his prime when he left LA because of some toe injury. They say he wasn't motivated, even the year he won the title with Miami. A move to PHX may spark the Diesel to work harder than ever before. He says his legacy would be tarnished if he didn't get his fifth ring. How sweet would it be for him if he could get that ring back in the west, where the Lakers play? It's either the best move in recent years, or the worst move ever for the...

uh oh

If the trade happens, I think the Western Conference should make its own league. However, looks like the trade is done for now. Stackhouse's big mouth got him once again. Scary thought, though. J-Kidd back on the mavs now with Dirk, Terry, and Howard. ouch.
