  3. It's possible, but I'm looking towards 2010 to be "magic".
  4. I've watched these about 3 times each already definitely a pre-order for me, they've done incredible work in one year.
  5. Well if we're going to talk about individual instances... How about the three times I saw (which is a good indication that there was more) Dwight Howard throwing his weight into someone to completely take them out of the play, thus getting an easy 2. Especially the late call on Derek Fisher for 'pushing' Howard when Howard was simultaneously pushing Gasol enough to where he was later on the ground. Oh yeah, there was also a play where Howard was very obviously and very deliberately by any stretch of the imagination yanking on Pau Gasol's jersey on a rebound. The Lakers got the board, but you get the point. How about Pietrus' foul on Kobe's jumper late that was deemed a no contact airball? Yeah, he hit him on the hand, but he hit him simultaneously with Kobe's release and prevented Kobe's hand from being able to flick through, most definitely a foul. How about the 37 free throws the Magic attempted (compared to 20 for the Lakers. Over a 16:53 stretch from the fourth quarter until the last three seconds of overtime, Orlando attempted 18 free throws and L.A. attempted zero. How about the Magic's 19 turnovers, compared to 8 for the Lakers? Bill Simmons put it best, which is great since he harps on Kobe and the Lakers any chance he gets, when he says: "You know what? I'd be more angry about the no-call on the elbow if the Lakers hadn't gotten screwed by calls all game. With that said ... that was like the Jordan/Russell shove in that an illegal play should have been called (and wasn't), and that play partially decided the game. Which always sucks. On the other hand, Fisher made the two biggest shots of this game and nobody on Orlando stepped up. Howard's last field goal came at the 11:12 mark of the third quarter. Orlando made one field goal in the last 6:30 of the game (including OT). Turkoglu went scoreless in the last 6:30. Lewis scored six points and missed eight of 10 shots. The free-throw disparity was so obnoxious that Orlando missed as many freebies as L.A. made. Did the Magic do anything to WIN this game? No. The Lakers fought for it and they deserved it. Period."
  6. Maybe Sam Keller snuck into their server farms John McLane style.
  7. That could be a good point, if the refs hadn't given the Magic a TON of chances to win that game.
  8. That's exactly what so many people are screaming towards the devs. Addict, have you seen the devs directly respond to the claims of BS on this one? I know I've seen the indirect 'statements' where they give the "we know that there was a problem with the rosters" sort of thing, but has there been anything concrete and/or remorseful? It's ridiculous if you ask me
  9. As of right now they are what will be included in the retail game. OperationSports is in the middle of a total meltdown after this was announced.
  10. More recruits to come soon from insider posters on RSS (same ones that predicted Ryan Reeves' commit being somewhere between wednesday and friday of this week).
  11. Did anyone seriously not expect this to happen ever since he retired?
  12. If you ask on OperationSports forums they'll definitely help out.

  14. What the heck, my post should be first in the merge because my thread was first Kidding, I don't care.
  15. Actually, just click ont he Teams link on the top and a drop-down menu will pop up, that part is exactly the same as the old site...
  16. Here you go. Enjoy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1218068507560 Edit: For anyone who will say to go 1080p over 720p, you have some incredible eyes if you can tell the difference easily on a 42".
  17. I think they should make an exception for something that someone should have probably paid us to give.
  18. Man, I just knew I should have PAID for that information.
  19. I think Shaq and Kobe have both grown up quite a bit since those days...Kobe probably moreso though, Shaq has always been quite a bit of a bafoon.
  20. Saint != good person. I bet you consider yourself a good person, do you consider yourself a saint? As far as I can tell he's a good person by society's standards. People seem to think it's ok to judge the guy based on how he acts on the court (which is ridiculous), and even then, who here hasn't complained to the refs or talked trash or gave an opposing player an intimidating look. Kudos to the guy for growing up so much after throwing so much weight onto his own shoulders at such a young age.
  21. It's really simple. The coaches recruit players that fit into the culture of Nebraska first and foremost, and especially on the offensive end, tailor the offense to fit the players currently in it.
  22. and Blaine was 6'0" his junior year before he hit a growth spurt, and judging from videos vs. pictures it looks like Tyler is hitting a bit of the same spurt.
  23. I agree, probably sitting at home in his nice Los Angeles house, waiting to play game 2 in his alternate white uni tomorrow.
