In my opinion, The Admiral is one of the coolest, most apt, nicknames ever. Everyone automatically knows who you are talking about.

Who was it that dubbed Mr. Robinson with his nickname?
Anyone know?

Duncan threw his jacket at Elliott. Elliott used it to clean his shoes.
"We suck on 'D. Both individually and team-wise, we suck. We're pretty consistent that way. I don't know if I have an answer to that. If I did, we wouldn't suck quite so bad." - Popovich

I have a severe case of chills from the 99-yard drive VY just led to win on the final play of the game. I’ll be coherent shortly.

That last rolling to basket from p&r with Manu, since it was so high up on the key, Blair should prob at least take a dribble to avoid those charges.
Hey, that’s pretty good for a new guy. But you are missing your exclamation points.

I hope this three-day layover we have coming up between games doesn’t have its usual effect. We play Boston next.
In unrelated news, I love it when Pop’s hair gets long enough to curl up where it hits his collar.

Blair is inspired by the Admiral

I went to a dinner party then came back and watched The Departed (awesome movie) then played Oblivion then I realized it was about 7am. So yeah, games should start later.

One thing I didn’t get is how they used a cover of Comfortably Numb instead of getting the real song.

Could be that whoever has the rights refused to release them at all, I suppose.

Floyd and Zeppelin are usually pretty stingy about releasing rights.
My people call it "sarcasm." - Lauri
Yep, that’s what I understand. I believe it took a screening of Shine before they would give up the rights to Shine on you crazy diamond.

Oblivion? Meh. Switch to Fallout now, man.

I can honestly say the Sixers are afraid. Right now, they are batting each other out of the way scrambling to get their rebound. LMAO!

The Sixers have 8 offensive rebounds, and Blair went absolutely crazy. He was scaring the Sixers.

Well, I was saving this for the Denver preview, but maybe it deserves to be shown earlier.

The Spurs - now playing defense again!
