Came in for lunch, but not much happening here. Thought I might get some thoughts on the College National Championship game coming up next week. Looks like the pundits are going for OSU, so the Ducks might take it. I'm from Ohio so I am hoping for an OSU win. It's going to be tight.

If I watch the game, I'll root for Oregon since I hate them less.
 
With about a minute left, Andre Drummond whacked Corey Joseph in the head. Again, no flagrant foul called. A possession or two before that Drummond two hand pushed Splitter on the rebound and cost them a possession. Blaming the refs is too easy though. Spurs really choked that game away....

This pretty much sums up the Spurs struggles: Numbers with and without Kawai Leonard.

Also, Patty Mills, who is their second most impactful player by this metric had missed all of the season til recently:

Boston is building a future, with the draft picks, it gives them a lot of flexibility in the next few years for trading and acquiring talent.

The Lakers are stuck on stupid, they have no plan, other than hanging on to the dead weight of a part time Bryant.

Yea....The Lakers pretty much had to keep Kobe to appease their fan base of stupid minions. There's some irony for you.

The first playoff game for the Pats is on today, and you guys are STILL talking about basketball? :D

It is the best weekend in football (The Divisional Round). Thanks for the reminder. Looks like The Ravens are continuing their magic; up 14-7 at the start of the 2nd.

On a side note: I had a dream that Steve Smith died last night. I don't remember much of it. I think it's cos he's old and I had seen him a few times before bed as SC played on a loop.
 
Woo hoo! Pats won in come from behind win and a REALLY close game! OMG! That was SO exciting!

First playoff win!
Tommy seems to be on a mission from God this yr.

Don't know about that, but it was an exciting game, and both teams played pretty well, just like you would expect from a playoff game. :)
 
I dont think Indy or Denver is up to the task next week........you're probably in.

Or not! :wink_2:

I just got done watching Brady say on SC that they would not win by throwing 50 times; so, he goes out and throws 50 passes. What a tool. Anyhow, Pats are lucky that they got that interception. I thought the Ravens were gonna pull that out. I think Flacco should have been more patient. He had time.

I do think Baltimore was the team most likely to beat NE. But I wouldn't dismiss Indy or Denver yet; especially since NE is plenty fallible.

Mmmm-hmmmm. You've been talking trash about the Pats since the beginning of the year, haven't you? :D

Oh, it's been longer than that. Though, I don't know if I was bothered to talk trash about the Pats at the beginning of this year or not.

A tool? Compared to whom? Brady is awesome. You WISH you could be half as awesome. Lol! :D

How about that little trick play with Edelman throwing to Gronk? That was pretty sweet, huh? :)
