I've been it several times ... you just get tired of her screaming over, at and around you...
Apparently, we beat the Spurs tonight.

I know this is OT. But you don't like rail in your city? You don't like urban cities? I mean Phoenix is known as a large suburb pretending to be a city. This light rail helps your city.
When I played in a city rec league in high school, I once got so pissed at a ref that when I was removed I picked up my chair and flung it against the chain link fence behind us, then pointed at him and yelled, "THAT WAS YOU!"
I never laughed so hard in all my life, afterwards ... I was serious, though.
Once I intentionally elbowed a Marine in the nose because he coming over the back upon my getting a rebound. He was pissed. I said, "What the , you wanna throw down on a high schooler?" and he quickly realized you don't mess with JM...
I hated to lose. I hate seeing the Suns lose because I know I can't do anything about it. Back then, I could do whatever was necessary for a win. Now, I can only hope. Which sucks....

Stu Scott already called the Suns "the Spurs" twice on his "SportsCenter Recap"
In theory, it would - but they've completely changed the plans from the proposition the voters approved years ago. I liked the idea about 5 years ago, but when I heard they were going to model this new plan off the one Houston (where I live now) implemented, I became adamantly against it. Light rail should be a by-product of downtown and urban growth... the city hopes it will effect central growth, which is not the case.
The plan and construction in Phoenix has completely decimated the local businesses up and down central avenue and makes getting to-and-from the Suns/D-Backs games a huge hassle. They need to clean up the crime in the city that occurs in and around downtown to attract businesses and residents and help revitalize the center of Phoenix. They can't just throw a poorly-planed rail system in the middle of the busiest Phoenix streets and hope people will ride it.
There are few residential establishments on the current route, so it will just become a hotbed for crime and place to sleep for the homeless, just like it has in Houston. Rail works well in cities like Boston, NYC, San Francisco/Oakland because not everyone there owns a car and those cities are much more centralized. Rail would work best in Phoenix if it were modeled after the Portland plan - i.e. it runs along the freeways as a commuter rail for people who live in the suburbs and want to avoid traffic entirely by riding on express trains at about 60 mph. Chicago's rail system is based on that kind of plan, with about 6-8 "branches" that extend into the suburbs and provide a cheap, clean, and effective way to move people downtown.
I've always held the view that the various suburbs of Phoenix - i.e. Glendale, Scottsdale, Mesa, etc. will soon develop their own downtown environments (Glendale already has 2 new pro stadiums and a large downtown development plan in place) and create a place where people don't have to commute long ways to work in downtown Phoenix or across town. Phoenix has annexed so much of the city that this rail system is merely a political move to make the city seem "progressive" when what they really need to do is cut-down on the drug/immigrant smuggling rings and improve the public education in the city. Teachers get paid a nation-wide low in salaries and that simply will not attract the quality people they desire to improve the plight of the gang-riddled teens in town.

We should get together and ball the next time I'm in Phoenix. I'll see if I can round up a few good players, etc.
I hit 13 three-pointers in a loss last year at A&M, so no one gets more compe ive than me when it comes to basketball. I'm not the biggest guy in the world, but I have one of the biggest mouths, and it rattles the other guys while provides me with adrenaline to "dominate" out there.
I don't live in Phoenix. It'll have to be the next time you're in Yuma
As for basketball, I still shoot, but I'm too fat anymore to play a full game. Let's just say college life was very, very bad to me... in a good way, I think
Exactly. The Spurs, Suns and Mavs are the big 3 still, period. One of them will win the le. They're all even. Ya just roll the dice and see what happens.
Funny thing when D'Ant got T'd, i turned to a buddy and said, "They better not lose this game by 1pt."
Good thing they lost by two then
I wanted this win bad... more than any other regular season game I can recall. It was a style of play that typically kills the Suns. It was at a tempo much slower than the Suns like. It was against a good defensive team, that's great at rebounding and is one of the few teams who can actually match scorers with the Suns.
Tough loss, but they played their asses off.
In the first quarter he was. But , when the opposing team is +10 in FT makes for a quarter any coach will be whiny.
Is your real name Billy???
Say what, JM??
Ouch, I see what you're saying. Not good to model off of Houston. Dallas has done a damn good job with their light rail. They are already expanding their system. You could say Dallas is like Portland's system. They build theres along freeways and connect DTD to the burbs. It is making all of North Texas hop on the rail bandwagon.In theory, it would - but they've completely changed the plans from the proposition the voters approved years ago.

It's a loss, but no big deal. These three are shooting for May and past. Once the Suns figure out how to close out teams they'll unstoppable. And, they still have 50+ games to work on that.Good thing they lost by two then

Exactly - in large cities where EVERYONE has cars (i.e. any city west of the Mississippi), it only makes sense to add public transport along their most frustrating routes... the freeways. Anything to cut down on smog, traffic, and accidents is a bonus, so kudos to Dallas and another demerit to Phoenix in that regard.
I don't get this reference.
Yeah, my beer belly has expanded and the elevation change from Houston to Phoenix kills my endurance.I don't live in Phoenix. It'll have to be the next time you're in Yuma

Good game by both teams but too many turnovers for the Suns.
These teams are pretty evenly matched and I look forward to some good games in the future.
Congratulations Mavericks you are the champions of December.
Billy Badass....
Is that you?
My prediction is whoever gets the 1 seed in the West will win the championship. If you are seeded 2 or 3 you have to face the other 2 best teams in back to back rounds while the number 1 seed will only have to go through one. Dallas hopefully can get that top spot.
I disagree. The Spurs were the number one seed, so were the Pistons, and they both got knocked off before the Finals.
The Spurs are playing great on the road so anything can happen. It's going to be exciting come May. Between the season finale of 24 and the playoffs, I'll have a heart attack.
Last year the spurs actually had to play the toughest team in the second since they were in the same division. This year they fixed that so the 2 best teams don't meet till the Western Conference Finals. If the playoffs started now this would be the matchups in the second round if everything went as planned. See what I mean on how important the 1 spot is now?
1.Mavs vs. 4.Jazz
2.Spurs vs 3.Suns

And these rec leagues wonder why they can't get any of us qualified officials that do high school and college ball to do games ! I would have thrown you out so fast and probably called the game over right then. Then again, I probably would have made decent enough calls that wouldn't piss you off quite so much....but these rec leagues get what they pay for!
