  1. Yeah. I'm thinking four seed most likely unless they completely crap the bed and lose to someone other than OSU or MSU. Lunardi has had them at a four for a few weeks now.
  2. I don't think anyone has any illusions about this team making a final four run. Obviously it could happen if they get hot but odds are against that happening. And as usual it all depends on matchups in the tourney. If they get in a bracket with a lot of up tempo teams that don't really play much defense I like their chances (i.e. Mizzou, Duke). But if they play a team that also plays outstanding D (i.e. Kansas, Kentucky) they need to get hot from three or they are probably done for.
  3. Agreed. The Badgers needed (need) another post presence other than Berggren. Even if he's missing his shot I feel like more good things happen when they go inside than when they pass around the perimeter for 30 seconds.
  4. If Rose was on the Bucks, everyone else on the team would be a good support player.
  5. Bulls got lucky in the lottery to get Rose.
  6. Yeah, it's protected. The guy on The Score said it wasn't. Shame on him for making me upset! Still, it's going to be a decent pick especially for a team as good as the Bulls.
  7. How the heck did the Bulls get Charlotte's pick in the upcoming draft? Edit: TYRUS THOMAS???? Wow. What a fleecing.
  8. Thanks for the summary. I can't believe there's angst over the Brewers "passing" on Russell Branyan. I know he has cult hero status for some reason around here, but come on already. It's not like he's going to go be the next Nelson Cruz for the Yankees.There's really only two people that want him back on this thread.
  9. I wonder how many of those guys exist in the minors? Like 6? Maybe 7?
  10. I think a team can execute well and not have a good offensive game. You can doing everything perfectly but if the shots don't go down you won't win all that often.
  11. They also played the best defensive team in the country. I agree, they need to go inside more though.
  12. They only forced a handful of shots that whole game. They executed pretty well and got open looks but just missed the shots. And Marquette shot worse than UW did today (both from three and overall). So essentially you like watching Marquette miss layups.
  13. What's the group of foreign players like?
  14. Favre said he quit drinking. And as for Hamilton, maybe he hasn't been boozing all the time but I just feel like he's relapsed a lot more than twice.
  15. I have no proof but I have a feeling that Hamilton never really stopped drinking. Don't believe him or Favre.
  16. In a perfect world, a team would play fast, take care of the ball, and make shots. But it's extremely rare to find a team that can do all three of those things.
  17. MSU actually plays pretty fast (about the same pace as Syracuse and Kentucky) and OSU plays about the same tempo as Kansas. When a fast team plays a deliberate team, the deliberate team usually dictates tempo. And when shots aren't falling for either team in a slow tempo game they can get ugly score wise (e.g. MSU vs. Illinois).
  18. Jennings and Irving are a good comparison. Irving is having an outstanding rookie year. Kinda weird to think that in another era, Jennings would be a senior at Arizona right now.
  19. That's the name! We went there after a few hours drinking foo foo drinks on Bourbon and it was delicious. Soft shell crab po boy was awesome. Gorman, make sure you revisit this thread after you go. Too many times we have these awesome "things to do when I go to " and never hear if the person actually did any of it.
  20. I wouldn't even call The Artist that good an emulation of the silent era. There's nothing in it as ambitious as what Chaplin, Keaton, Murnau, Eisenstein, Dreyer, etc. were producing on a regular basis. Granted, there were plenty of movies in that era that were right on the level of The Artist, but The Artist looks positively quaint when compared to City Lights,The General, Safety Last,The Passion of Joan of Arc, Battleship Potemkin, Nosferatu, Metropolis, Haxan, Nanook of the North, Intolerance, or Sunrise....Watched The Artist last night. It was good but not great. I think the thing I liked the best was the lack of dialog (obviously, since it was a silent movie for all intents and purposes). I'm always a fan of "showing not telling" (love the first act of Wall E) and they were able to convey some real subtle moments without saying a word. So I commend them for that and for having the guts to make a silent movie. But on the whole, even though the cinematography was great I didn't think the script was all that clever or terribly interesting which is keeping me from loving this movie.
  21. That is more than Miami scored in each successive quarter. I don't know what to think of this team. They continue to surprise me.
  22. Yes on Frenchman St. That is a really cool area.
  23. The fact that he played/follows hockey is so amusing to me. Nothing to do with his race and everything to do with his personality.
  24. D-Day Museum is now a full fledged WWII museum and it is really cool. A few restaurant rec's: Port of Call - awesome burgers. Follow Bourbon until it ends and then take a left. It's like half block down. Coop's Place - on Decatur St in the Quarter. Fantastic fried chicken. Tiny place and you'll wait but it's a real treat. I really hate Bourbon St now that i'm older but I love the rest of the quarter - especially Decatur. Go have a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Also, check out the garden district. There's a bar out there called Parasol's (on 3rd and Constance) that's a hoot. Great Po Boys and muffalettas. Apparently the management has changed recently. Not sure what that's done to the food.
  25. They held LA to 89 points. That didn't have much to do with hitting shots.
