<-Me when Miami doesn't win a championship next season.

>>254651

Nah. Miami is a bandwagon sports city. They'll just hop off and pretend like they didn't think they could win all along.

The Lakers will just pack it in. The Heat play right into LA's greatest strength: size in the paint.

Bosh and whomever they get for the 4/5 spots stand no chance guarding the LA bigs. And, as of right now, the Heat have no reliable outside shooting. Chalmers and Wade are not spectacular long range shooters and Lebron is streaky. Pack it in with Gasol/Odom/Bynum and let Kobe and Ron run interference out there on the wings and it will be difficult for anyone to score, especially a team with a bunch of drivers and no shooters.

Hell, the "bigs" problem might stop the Heat from even reaching the Finals--The Magic, and The Celtics could fuck em up.

>>254654
Hell, the entire state of Florida in general.

Dan Gilbert is so mad, he has resorted to using Comic Sans.

THE HEAT JUST SIGNED MIKE MILLER

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

>tease New York for two years
>upset hometown fanbase
>take pay cut and sign with small market team for a try at Easy Mode Ring(s)
>upset league parity, make the salary cap/draft order meaningless

LeBron has gone from league-wide fan favorite to most hated man in the NBA nearly overnight. Wow.

>>254672

hahah oh wow

anyway good for Lebron, I imagine he picked up a paycheck the size of the moon. AND he gets to leave Cleveland.

>>254767
I think it was the Knicks who teased the New York fans.

Oh hey, apparently the Knicks are in talks with the Wizards to sign guard Gilbert Arenas!

  Alright.

Here is my interview with NBA TV on LeBrons decision.

>>254903
Probability is weird. It's actually pretty common to get runs of six or more when you're flipping a coin. This method of picking the teams is basically just a more complicated coin.

Also there's a bit of a selection bias here. If, by chance, he'd mostly picked the wrong teams, we wouldn't have heard about him.

>>254873
Oh yeah that's right, the video is only available for US because it's NBAUS youtube account.

I don't know how to access the international NBA youtube account. Whenever I go to it, it redirects me.

I hope they win nothing, or at least lose this first year so I can troll their fans a little.

But they're probably bound for multiple championships. The bastards.

Aaaaargh I hate working nights, it means that I'm asleep when CFL games are on.

I'll tell you what, soon as NBA2k11 comes out I'm going to see if I can beat the Heat with my meat the timberwolves.

I got some bad news for you, man.

Honestly I'm just glad Football is back.

Can't wait to see Oregon State's shit get pushed in by TCU.

>USC Defense

USC confirmed for 5-8 season.

Seriously? 36 points against shitty Hawai'i?

Hell it should have been 47 considering the wide open TD that the receiver dropped in the endzone and the TD that the refs took away on a bullshit call.

also

>Pitt

>>270949
I didn't realize the Lobos were that fucking bad my god.

72 points. 59 points in the first half.

Geez

>>271759
Told you bro.

Warned you dog.

>>271763
We didn't even have our best player, he was suspended for the first game for beating up his girlfriend.

Our third string played the entire second half.

My god.

IT'S MOTHERFUCKING COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON. ARE YOU LADIES READY!? HOT DOG, WHERE'S MY GOOD RED SWEATER.

>>271834

Huskers demolished Kentucky State as was expected. What was more surprising was that Oklahoma only BARELY beat it's cupcake matchup, Kansas LOST to its cupcake matchup, and Kansas St. actually BEAT UCLA (I wasn't aware Kansas St. was allowed to win games. It was a new experience).

Nebraska finally has an offense this year (All three strings of quarterbacks scored touchdowns), but our defense played like it's asleep! I can't believe we let Kentucky score a touchdown. I was mortified.

>>271850
Oklahoma was VASTLY overrated coming in to this season.

>>271855

B-but Oklahoma is the only team Nebraska can rely on to put up a fight outside of Texas!

>>271856
Blame the program for scheduling such a shitty OOC schedule and the Big XII for being absolute shit.

But don't worry, soon the Huskers will be able to play overrated Big 10 teams.

Oh lord Virginia Tech MAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Go Boise! Bust that BCS!

Suddenly, /sp/ EXPLODES INTO TROLLING

God I love that board

Delicious tears from pretty girls

I hope to god that boise goes undefeated AGAIN.

I want the BCS to burn.

>>272434
>death to the BCS
THIS IS JUSTICE

Ehhhh... the BCS makes a LOT of money with its current set-up, and I do like the various bowl games rather than a "tournament"-style final round like the Pros. The bowl system is great for the mid-tier teams, which get to play another team of similar strength as their final game and can end their seasons on a win. I don't realistically see the BCS coming apart until it becomes unprofitable, because people have been talking about getting rid of it for the 15 years I'VE been following college football. What I WOULD like to see is Boise taken out of the WAC and put in an actual conference.

>>272422
/sp/ is either absolutely hilarious or abysmal. No middle ground ever.

Pic unrelated.

>>272422
Posting in a handegg thread to say I agree.

>>272483
Well the NCAA tournament in college basketball is one of the best events in all of sports, and is a lot more entertaining then Bowl week.

I actually watched a fucking Richmond vs. Saint Mary's game. Two schools I didn't give a shit about, but that game actually matter. It effected the outcome of the tournament. Most of the bowl games are terrible. Seriously, aside from the fans of the teams, no one is going to watch or give a shit about the ST. PETERSBURG BOWL PRESENTED BY BEEF 'O' BRADY'S.

And yeah, the BCS makes a lot of money, for BCS schools. Doesn't do much for non-BCS schools. It also makes it exceptionally hard for non-BCS schools to recruit.

But a play-off system could be just as profitable. Knock of 1 or 2 regular season games or, y'know, eliminate the conference championships and then do a 16-team play-off. You can use bowl-games as locations for the play-off games in each round and you can rotate the BCS bowl locations for the championship game. And for those schools that don't make it to the tournament, you can keep bowl week for those schools.

>>272540
/sp/ becomes a lot less hit-or-miss when the Fall sports start.

Baseball Play-offs start (Regular season is abysmal), NFL starts, CFB starts, NBA starts, NHL starts, College Basketball starts.

Also /sp/ starts to suck in that twilight between Euro time and American time, after all American sports are done for the day.

>>272569
>Well the NCAA tournament in college basketball is one of the best events in all of sports, and is a lot more entertaining then Bowl week.

...That's debatable.

Personally, I thought the Northwestern/Auburn game was very entertaining to watch, as were the majority of bowl games. I don't think those would have happened in a Tournament-style that only looked at the top teams.

Do I think it's a good system? No. Do I think it's going to change? No. Have I learned to live with it and enjoy its unique aspects? Yes.

>>272576
Like I said, keep the bowls for the lower teams, have a play-offs for the upper teams.

The BCSNCG is a sham.

The year Utah went undefeated and got snubbed for a 1-Loss SEC team (HURR DURR SEC SPEED) and then laid the BEATDOWN on Alabama (A year before they won the NC I might add.) solidified my hatred.

Also a 2-loss LSU team being picked out of a hat to go to the NCG.

Oh good god I lol'd

Somehow, I knew you'd disagree.

>>274947

I'm pretty sure that's child abuse.

>>274953
And you wouldn't be far behind.

>>274952

Hey man, I'm just saying, if you peaked in the 1790's, it's time to hang it up. As for Jazz... I mean... really, it's something people say they like to make it look like they have good taste in music, I refuse to believe anyone actually likes Jazz. I'd like to hear about your definition of classic rock though. On /mtv/.

>>274961
When I say classical I usually mean it in preference of the Classical Period along with the earlier half of the Romantic era.
That's really all that needs to be said on it. No need to hop boards.

>>274966
Oh, I'm sorry, I misread your quote. As for classic rock...pretty much anything before the late 80's is alright with me.

>>274967

Almost acceptable in my opinion. But I consider classic rock to be before the 70's.

But I realise I am being more rigid than most.

>mfw Shaq + Celtics

I have my sights set squarely on Alabama and Dr. Nurse, now.

Let's roll this Big 12 Conference.

>>275339

Well. Okay. I was a little high on victory when I made that post. Clearly there are some things I'm looking forward to before the Championship.

Kansas State - Has also gone undefeated this year, and it looks like they're going to be the strongest contender in the Big 12 North. While they've had their ups and downs (as have the Huskers), I've always loved playing Kansas State, and not being able to play them on a regular basis is one of the things that make me sad about this move to the Big Ten. They were our bros. I'm hoping we get a great game of football.

Texas - One second. One fucking second that the refs put back on the clock. Oh how I want to make them pay. I actually want them to go undefeated until we reach them, so that when we crush them it destroys their dreams of a BCS championship. It would be all the sweeter.

I hate that we have to play South Dakota State. That last Athletic Director and Callahan are still shooting us in the foot with the weak scheduling they set up before they got the boot.

>>275359
>Kansas State
>Contending anything

>>275339
Mindwipe, if the National Championship game comes down to Bama and Nebraska, I'll actually drive all the way out to the middle of nowhere just to watch this fucking game with you so we can scream at each other the whole time.

Hey, since I know some of you yankeefags are on this board, I've got a question.

Is Giradi mentally handicapped or does he just feel bad about Joba being fat and wants to let him play hoping it'll make him feel better?

If the Yanks want a shot at winning it again, then their Bullpen and starting rotation need to stop being terrible.
