imagine if celts ever win it all?

they're gonna make the 07 miami heat look like they had back to back on their minds

tatum/brown making like 120m combined with a ring, they're gonna take a yr off

The HBO show Rome is the superior Roman story.

Roger Ebert gave it thumbs to and we are correct.

The diogue is laughable. Everything feels hollow. No depth. Stupid story.

**** Gladiator.

Thank God. Someone else that agrees, I never understood the love.

Ridley Scott has some great ones but this is not one of them. However I am generally not a fan of period pieces of this kind so I always figured I was hating. And I'm not a big Crowe fan, but this was a big reason.

LOL yeah. How the **** can you blow that call??? I’d honestly like the referee’s explanation. What else are you looking at when that goes down??? Was the referee too busy thinking about snow and pierogies and ****???

Refs jobbed Pacers again. But they deserved to lose with the way they closed that game. Just absolute garbage. Only saving grace is I think they are too young and dumb for the moment to feel overwhelmed as shown vs NY and might be able to fight back in game 2

Why was Haliburton not inbounding the ball? Nembhard isn't really the smartest dude with the ball. AND YOU GO TO THE INBOUNDER SIAKUM. NOT PARRALELL WITH THE DEFENDER ON THE INSIDE. ****ing idiot. Everyone on the team failed miserably at their job there.

Ralph Cifaretto was a huge Gladiator fan, seems like a point in its favor

What's good about Gladiator?

Do you remember anything besides Phoenix and the spectacle scenes?

I sure as **** don't despite watching it probably 4 times. 1st when it came out. 2nd years later. 3rd I realized it sucked and 4th confirmed it.

I'm also quitting a Sopranos rewatch now near the end of s3. The Wire is definitely better and so is Deadwood.

Breaking Bad maybe there's a conversation for.

“Do you remember anything besides some fantastic spectacle scenes and an amazing performance?” does not make the argument you’re intending it to make.

Gladiator was solid. The Denver debacle was not. As was the Pacers catastrophic last few seconds. And many underrated shows much better than The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. Enuff said

Celtic has a good team but I just don’t trust that core .
The inconsistency for years in the playoffs is just amazing imo .
They always get a good double digit lead early and always fack It up unable to close most of the time
I just don’t know what their problem is shrug .

Weird comment putting Al in the same category as Stockton Malone

most playoff games without a rang, they're the 3 leaders per the broadcast last night

he'll pass stockton this series, and prob both if the celtics lose in the final iirc

i will say wolves over mavs would create a lot more appealing finals to me.....celts supporting cast just seems way better than mavs supporting cast. Jrue, White, KP vs Gafford/Lively, Washington, DJJ...ouch

Interesting. So Horford is basically the anti-Robert Horry
