Dude.......in general 5'10 200 is very unhealthy-- I did say there are plenty of other factors and it's not set in stone, so I don't see what the complaint is about what I said.

Of course it could be healthy if you're some professional bodybuilder/great athlete, but again, in general, someone who is 5'10 200 is not any of these and it's going to be unhealthy as a general matter and this is basically inarguable :\

BMI scale is more of a joke than donkinger, I was 225-230 in HS when I played football, become a fatass shortly after HS and got up to 250-255, then lost it down to 190 at one point. I wouldn't be able to get down to 160 without becoming a huge pussy.

The Portland Trail Blazers’ threat to possibly sue any team that signs free-agent forward Darius Miles has created a firestorm of reaction around the league.

Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert emailed Blazers president Larry Miller to say he took exception with Portland’s threat.

Yahoo! Sports obtained Gilbert’s email because it was carboned to the rest of the league’s owners and executives.

“With all due respect…although the Cleveland Cavaliers have no interest in signing Darius Miles and will not be signing Darius Miles,” Gilbert wrote, “I find your email quite peculiar from two standpoints:

“1. It’s dead wrong. I believe that all 30 NBA teams were and are fully aware of the terms and provisions of the collective bargaining agreement as to which all teams and the NBA are a party to, including the Portland Trailblazers.

“2. Are legal threats through a mass email the best way to circumvent the known potential consequences that could result from the Trailblazers decisions and actions they took with respect to Darius Miles?

“I fully understand the frustration you and your team’s ownership must be feeling in regards to this situation, but a preemptive threat of ‘litigation’ directed at all of your partners through a group email does not sit well with me and seems to be incongruent with the spirit of keeping a ‘fiduciary duty’ and good ‘partner-like duty’ to your ‘NBA joint venturers.’

“I would think there has got to be a better tactic than this one.”

I have a feeling Boston is going to put the screws to the Cavs tonight. No Z, celts against the wall a bit, and the Cavs aren't necessarily playing as well as they were.

nah I think we lose and I think Doc finally snaps out of being so serious all the time and instead takes the team out to Chuck E Cheese's and we roll off another 10 wins after that.

lol I am the only person in my dorm room who isn't overweigh/obese according to BMI. All of them are prob <8% body fat and are extremely sickening when it comes to health.

Of course in general population people with these weights are going to be overweight, but the point that it is such a flawed metric makes it just so stupid to use. In general a 28-6 team is good, but when you take into account that the Lakers play in the weaker Western conference, it is obvious that the 28-6 doesn't mean the same thing as the Cavs 28-6 record. See you can't just ignore obvious facts like East>West in these discussions or you can get a skewed perception, so we can't just use W-L, just like you can't use BMI, they both are good in general but ignore some very important things.

I sincerely feel the Cavs are going to be the better team come playoffs and should win now too, but with the situations it wouldn't surprise me that the Cavs get beat right now.

Obviously no point in arguing it since I'm a homer and just feel this way and there is no way to prove it, only time will tell who is actually better/etc, both are obv v.good.

<-- Sophomore and about as crazy as them with health, its just I don't try to put on weight like they do. So I keep a small build with little body fat instead of a big build like them
