    I have a theory on the FT disparity. Miami is a more physical team, they drive to the basket more and draw more contact. Boston is more finesse so it's harder for them to draw fouls. Other cases can be made about FT disparity, like Kings vs. Lakers a long time ago, but in this case alone I that's how I see it. Especially Lebron making constant effort driving to the basket. The only way the Celts got to the basket was through pick n rolls.

    Yeah, I was just putting it up there to contrast how we usually view the NBA as fixed to events that are way more fishy. I don't think the game was poorly officiated.

    Yeah I need a Winn-Dixie grocery bag full of money right next to the VIP section...

    2: Union Rags wins Belmont Stakes after I'll Have Another retires due to a sudden injury suffered the day before the race; it's an injury common to doped horses, with I'll Have Another's trainer having been caught double-digit times for doping horses.

    3: Tim Bradley defeating Manny Pacquiao with the bold strategy of using his face to damage Pacquiao's fists.

    I'll go 3-2-1.

    That Bradley win sure smells fishy. They hadn't even finished the post-match press conference and already had a date set for the rematch?

    It was written in the contract prior to the match. If Bradley wins, Nov. 10 rematch.

    With 2 bombs last night, B. Harper has now hit 14 home runs at age 19! only 3 players in history have more. Ken Griffey Jr, Mel Ott and Tony Conigliaro (sp?). He also has scored more runs than any 19 yo MLB player since like 1936 or something. And maybe only 2 or 3 other 19 year olds have hit 2 HR's in 1 (MLB) game.

    nice!

    Why have I seen robert griffin III on 1,000 commercials before he's played a professional game?

    What will all these endorsers do if he is a massive disappointment?

    Why didn't I think of this earlier. Jeremy Lin signed with the Rockets so he can spend all his time with KevJumba
