• Man, do not watch Toy Story 3, I don't understand why they made the ending so sad. It should have ended with Toy Story 2. That made me hella emo, LOL. Now I feel bad for giving away all my G.I. Joe's and X-Men action figures. They must have been extremely sad. - (8/6/10 - 11:35 PM)
   

• Is it me or is the Miami Heat looking to be the super villains of the NBA? All of professional sports actually. First, Bosh using Twitter like a 16 year old girl who just found out that the star of Twilight has a real-life girlfriend. Second, LeBron putting together a one hour special so he can tell the struggling city of Cleveland to screw off. Thirdly, now Wade comparing a losing streak to 9-11. I don't think it's pure choice of words. They mean to do this, I bet. Lastly, Jordan owning James is hilarious. It's true. - (7/19/10 - 8:42 PM)
   

• "Inception" is ... wow! Three more masterpieces from Leonardo DiCaprio and I say that he has finally made up for that abomination of a movie called "Titanic". Man, I hate that movie. And yes, I know girls love the ending, I don't care, it still sucked. Feel free to tell me otherwise. - (7/17/10 - 8:16 PM)
   

• There's rumblings apparently that Colangelo is looking to trade Jose Calderon and his ridiculous contract to the Pacers for Roy Hibbert (who is still in his rookie contract - expiring soon, I believe). Hibbert's talent is still raw and he has a lot to learn about consistency. Then again, Calderon can't play a lick of defense. This would be a pretty lopsided trade but Calderon should fit in well with a team looking to get the ball in the hands of its young players. TJ Ford is still with them so I don't know how that will play out again. They worked great in tandem before. Not our problem though. Let Larry Bird sort that out. Hopefully he's stupid enough to take this trade. If Jordan is of any indication, great players are usually terrible GM's. - (7/16/10 - 1:44 AM)
   

• It is unfortunate that Michael Jordan/Wizards pulled out of the trade with the Toronto Raptors. Tyson Chandler would have been the first legitimate center that the Raps have had since Antonio Davis or Marcus Camby. It was to expire after the season as well. During contract years players usually have a good season, only to become terrible the rest of the way (ie. Dampier). Regardless, if he grew to like the system, if he has an okay season, he would have opted to sign just above the mid-level salary (probably around 7m). Damn, almost suckered them into taking Calderon's terrible contract. Turkoglu should fit in better with the Suns. Should serve well for Nash's playmaking in a secondary role. Barbosa still has plenty of gas left in him. He'll either be the leading or second best scorer next year, no question. - (7/14/10 - 7:34 PM)
