RT @russbengtson: Rasheed Wallace didn't actually retire, he just got ejected pre-emptively for the rest of eternity.

Simmons' obsession with Durant and OKC is getting borderline disturbing.

He has Thunder vs Celtics in the Finals
I didn't agree on their take on most of the teams, Simmons is really cocky.
Is is safe to say Toronto will be the worst team maybe ever? I think Cleveland maybe a good defense team this year, but their offense is really questionable.

We all know it's going to happen but the question is when will the Nuggets actually pull the trigger.Originally Posted by CP1708
How many years in a row has he picked the Celts in the finals now?KG and co will all be 37-38 and he'll still be pickin them in the finals.
He seems pretty confident that Melo is goin NY tho
Uhhhhh, try listening to anything he says Laker related.Originally Posted by Proshares
He's confident because he wants to see it happen and NYC to fail
He's a good writer but his blatant hate for anything New York bleeds through in his writing and his TV appearances.
This dude talks about 08 like it was the greatest championship ever earned..........then he'll say 09 and 10 were down years and crap like that.
Or he'll hype the hell out of 84, and 85 and 87 are just glossed over like they never happened.
Like you said, he's a good writer, very funny, comes up with funny analogies and pop culture references and all that, but sitting their being a homer and havin all his buddies come on as guests and what not? Come on.
But for me, at least he's passionate about the sport. That counts for something with me, I can tune out all the other stuff as long as he doesn't go too crazy. Him going Rondo = greatest point guard ever last postseason was borderline getting there, but he had some of that crow in late June.

Your right, but he always says his views aren't valid when it comes to talking about his home town teams.Originally Posted by CP1708

I was
when he was talkin himself into Delonte and Shaq.
"I dunno, I dunno, Shaq just looks in shape this year"........ jkahghsauihfdfiudgfbafdsausafu EVERY year Shaq comes in in shape. Last year he was takin pics with Lebron, everyone was
he looks in shape, OC with his minute by minute updates, every time Shaq took a piss, [OC] Shaq just lost .07 more ounces, thread title updated [OC] and when he was in Phoenix with Nash and Stat and their great training crew out there, "he looks thin, he looks fit" and at the end of each of those seasons, we all call him fat, slow, old, and done. Been goin on for 5 years now. But yeah Bill, this year it's different, he's a CELTIC now.
I think he pretty much just goes with if every single thing works in their favor, they are right there, and with the other teams, he wants to speak on their weakness over and over. Kobe's knee is already hurt (um, what is KG's?) Bron and Wade are already nicked up (and 5-8 years younger then Allen and Pierce are)
I just don't get that stuff. And the @#$% of it is, I actually predict Boston to make the finals. It ain't like I'm mad at him picking them or anything, I just don't get his reasoning of things. I don't need Shaq to be in shape, I need him to be a pain in the butt to other teams. West? hell, if he don't kill any of his team members, or bang their moms, call that a win in my book. I go with them because of their depth, experience together, and hunger from letting one slip away and having one last hurrah for about 7 of those guys.
However, I did
when they got scared of upsetting "the soccer moms"
Man, that stuff was gold. Bill overrates the hell out of that team, but it was funny to hear him give crap to the fans. Stuff like that is why I do enjoy his work.

It seems like you don't like the dude.

MIAMI -- LeBron James started his own Twitter account in July becausehe wanted to be more in touch with fans and, as it has turned out, hisnon-fans.
To illustrate that sometimes unpleasant interaction, James took theunusual step of re-tweeting some hateful Twitter messages to his900,000 followers on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, the Miami Heatstar said he did it to show people what he deals with on a daily basis.
I just want you guys to see it also. To see what type of words that aresaid toward me and towards us as professional athletes. Everybodythinks it is a bed of roses and it's not.
James published three negative tweets on his feed including one that was racially charged.
"I just want you guys to see it also," James said after the Heat'spractice Wednesday afternoon. "To see what type of words that are saidtoward me and towards us as professional athletes. Everybody thinks itis a bed of roses and it's not."
In one message a person wrote that James is "a big nosed big lipped bugeyed (racial slur). Ur greedy, u try to hide ur ghettoness."
Last month in an interview with CNN, James said that he felt some ofthe backlash aimed at him after his decision to sign with the Heat wasracially based.
In another message James made public he was called a "fraud" and a"b**ch" and in another tweet the writer wrote "why don't u speak bylaying ur head under a moving car."
James often retweets messages from friends and fans but they areusually positive ones. But he said he reads the negative messages formotivational purposes.
"You're always going to have people who love you and who hate you,"James said. "I have enough motivation but I can always use a littlemore."
