I was doing fine until they moved me into a hole that happened to be the exact size of my shoulders in width. My shoulders were touching the sides, and then I started breathing pretty heavy. That hole is just so damn small.

So I guess no one knows anything about how disability works?

I can't answer that question about disability but yeah I know what you're talking about. When they make you sit on that tray and then they slide the tray back into the middle of that big machine and you have to sit there. I'm a pretty big guy as well and it was pretty cramped in there and after about 30 seconds I was like, shiiiiiit this really isn't cool, I need to get the hell out of this thing while I can lolol.

As for the Wizards, well I was reading the ESPN article about tonight's game between the Celts and the Cavs, and I was suprised about how well they shut LBJ down. EJ (if we meet up with the Cavs in the playoffs again next year) should watch this game because it seems like they really forced LBJ off his game.

And I saw two interesting lines at the bottom of the article as well, the first one said

"Cleveland shot 18 of the game's first 22 free throws"

Reminds me of our first game against the Cavs, and

"Cassell was called for a flagrant foul when he kept James from a free throw with 5½ minutes left in the half. The replay seemed to indicate that James enhanced the damage"

ahahaha. Now why would he do that?

I didn't get to catch the game last night because I was out and about, but it appears I didn't miss much. I guess the only thing that really can be said is we just need to make some changes this offseason. I'm rather sick of losing to them. I really hope Boston can get past Atlanta and f them up in the second round.

We'll see what we can do.

You guys aren't far from being a contender. You have a decent nucleus. You need better role players, and your coaching needs to be a little tighter. There were a lot of dumb shots and wreckless plays (IMO) during your series.

Yeah to be honest, I'm more worried about Antawn leaving. He was pretty much the glue that held this team together when Gil and Caron were out, and even though Caron is the better player his future with the team is pretty much certain.

ESPN - Suns reportedly let D'Antoni talk to other teams - NBA

Does anyone think we should go after him for head coach, because Eddie Jordan has had some problems during the playoffs, and Mike D'Antoni has had some serious success.

[SmootSmack]

D'Antoni is a big favorite to go to Chicago right? Besides, what sort of "serious success" has he had?

He's had great success in the regular season, but struggled in the playoffs, he has made it to the second round 3 times, and that's in the west. He also had a .608 winning percentage during regular season.

Yeah D'Antoni is a really good coach but he hasn't won anything, he's struggled in the playoffs just as much as we have.

[Big C]

west is much much better than the east though. im happy with ej at this time however

[hooskins]

honesty EJ is fine, we need a bit of defensive help and consistent play.

Some think EJ has lost the team, but I think Grunfeld needs to do a better job putting the right pieces in place for Jordan and his offense. They need a young point guard for starters. Not to mention an enforcer, and a big man who can create his own shot facing the basket. Now maybe they could find some of those answers among young guys like Young, McGuire, Pecherov, and Blatche but I have yet to see it. And I don't know if guys like Jamison and Arenas (not to mention Daniels) want to wait around for it.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

If the right team gives the right amount of money I could see Antawn or Gilbert leaving but I think Jamison is more likely to go during free agency.

why do Washington fans have such a hard one for James? did you guys bitch about a washed up Jordan getting those calls when he played in D.C.? i personally think James is a top 3 player, and pretty much a class act. hell, there isn't a single player in the NBA that ever commits a foul
