Right, we've already been over the fact that my academic track record>yours. Nice try though. And said I dont watch basketball because I miss the end of games that have 9:30 start times the week of finals just shows how desperate you are.

gg no re Mark responds to nothing and tries to pass it off.
Leave it to you to make that post right before I have to go. You have an ownage coming your way later tonight son. I'm feeling shades of the ownage I dealt in the A.I.-Kobe debate last year.MarkSmith
I'll sum up my basic points for your ADD-self, and you can gather up all the information you need -- you'll need a lot, considering you don't watch basketball.
1. Mavs will be a certified choke if they lose on Sunday. 2. Mark Cuban blows things out of proportion, with the most obvious incident being the hypocritical backing of Jason Terry. 3. Mavs fans constantly complain of poor referring when they lose, in lieu of their owner, but say nothing when the same happens to them. 4. I'm not a baby and it'd have to be the most heinous, obvious fix in the history of the world for me to admit the refs cost the team I happen to be rooting for the game. 5. Lakers losing to the Suns doesn't qualify as a flop 6. Throwing in an irrelevant "omg teh Lakers are teh flop" means nothing, and is just another futile attempt by yourself to try to change the subject. 7. Amare Stoudemire is nothing close to the best player on his team. 8. It's all coincidence that nearly the whole Suns team had career years playing with Steve Nash, including Amare himself last season.
Being in a 7 game against the defending champs, best team over the past 8 years, with the best player in the world, having lost games that all came down to the final shot is a flop? I'd hate to know what finishing 7th, blowing a 3-1 lead to a team that plays pathetic defense, has their best player our for the year, and taking 3 shots in the 2nd half while going down is then.

Is Skip Bayless related to you? Everytime I read one of your posts regarding anything remotely connected to sports, Skip is exactly who I think of.
Time to correct you on many things, because, as always, you're way off point. Of course, you don't even WATCH basketball games -- how can you be right?
Dallas had a 3-1 lead almost single-handedly predicated on the Spurs playing horrendous defense, making the Mavericks offense look like the best offense since the Showtime Lakers. What do they do? Average 91 points in two consecutive losses after averaging 106.2 before. The Mavericks can only score 91 points in two games versus a defense playing like the Seattle Sonics, which was the worst defensive team in NBA history this year? To make it worse, the 2nd best player flops, loses his cool, and punches Finley in the crotch like a little girl. Even Tim Thomas would call that fugazi. So then what does Mark Cuban do? OMFG NOT WORTHY OF A SUSPENSION despite the BLATANTLY stated rule that a closed-fist punch is an automatic suspension. Cuban's laughable antics towards the refs to try to get his team a referee advantage is a carefully crafted plan to try to push his Mavs over the top one way or another, even if they can't do it by actual play on the court. The ironic part? Whenever the Mavs lose, Mavs fans whine like their owner, blaming the refs every single time. Grow up. There's horrible refereeing all the time, but you'll almost never see me complain that the refs cost a team the game.
If the Mavs actually end up losing three games in a row -- including losing Game 6 at home while Dirk has the best game of his life -- it's simply the biggest flop possible for a team that's been consistently very good yet not good enough to get over the hump. Reminiscent of the Trail Balzers' choke against the Lakers, and the Kings choking and failing to ever get past the Lakers. The best part is it'd suit all Mavs fans right.
ROFL @ trying to bash the Lakers to make yourself feel better. Typical Mark: Get owned, bring up something out of the blue that has NOTHING to do with the discussion at hand to try to divert attention. Don't worry Mark, no one realized that bringing up irrelevant things does nothing to hide the fact that your point is gone.
The funny thing is I can still own it. Let's go:
1. Finishing 7th was roughly one spot higher than they were projected to finish. 2. Finishing 7th is a very good accomplishment for the youngest team in the league. 3. This team that finished 7th closed out the year exceedingly well, peaking when it mattered most, and doing the thing most important to any possible championship team: Playing lockdown defense. 4. Suns' defense isn't "pathetic" -- finished 16th in defensive efficiency on the season. Is the Clippers' offense pathetic? They finished 17th in offensive efficiency. 5. The so-called best player you're referring to on the Suns had 67% of all his converted shots in the paint assisted, and 49% of his jump shots assisted. This so-called best player was also more dependent on one teammate (Steve Nash) than anyone else in the NBA. The so-called best player improved his field goal percentage by nearly 6 percentage points and attempted two more free throws per game than his previous career average. This all coincidentally occured when playing with a two-time, back-to-back MVP. The MVP had an even better individual season without playing with the so-called best player on the team, and caused Shawn Marion the player most dependent on one player to score. Without the so-called best player, Shawn Marion became the proprietary focus of this two-time MVP, and Marion coincidentally had a career high in field goal percentage by over 4 percentage points, set a career high for free throw attempts, and scored the most points in his career. Boris Diaw, also a main focus of this two-time MVP, increased his field goal percentage over his previous career high by a whopping 7.9 percentage points, and set career highs in every single major category. Raja Bell, heretofore a career journeyman, was also a coincidence as he set career highs in field goal percentage (1.6% improvement over his previous career high), three point accuracy (3%), and points per game (2.4), all while playing with this two-time MVP who is apparently not the best player on his team.
The two-time MVP himself, of course, set career highs in field goal percentage (51.2%), free throw percentage (92.1%), and points per game (18.9), all while playing without the so-called best player on his team. All of this, of course, is merely coincidence. 6. I, of course, called the Lakers losing in the Suns series even as they went down 3-1 -- something I know you'd never have the guts to do. The fact that the Lakers were ever up 3-1 is something approximately 0% of the world predicted, of course, and the eventual fact that they lost hardly means anything considering it is a miracle they were ever even in that situation. 7. I, of course, am very pessimistic on the Lakers' chance at ever being anything remotely close to an NBA powerhouse in the next five years, even getting into it with Lakersman, a fellow Laker fan, on the prospects of our team's future. I, of course, am a realist above all else, even when it comes to my favorite teams. As always, your chepa shot fails again -- if I expected the Lakers to lose, why would I be surprised when they did? How is that a flop when the vast underdog -- in stark contrast to the Mavs, who were close to even money on this series, a series in which a ton of people expected to go seven games regardless -- finally gave out and lost?
He's not as good nowadays, but you can't deny that Reflection Eternal is a classic album.

When I first listened to real rap, I thought that too. But come on, once you listen to a lot more stuff, you realize how plain and boring that album is, how basic Kweli is compared to dozens of other emcees. He has his moments, but there are way way way too many generic songs.
[QUOTE="Lakersman2000"]all of you guys that are graduating dont know how much your going to miss high school a couple years from now. anyways , congratulations to all of you .
No. HS = 8 to 3 every day, 180 days a year. College = significantly less; 3-4 days a week, six hours in a day tops. Way better.
LMAO Mavs flopped again LMAO
It's great that the Mavs have an owner who personify the fans: whine, whine, whine.
