I think that LeBron will end up back in Cleveland. He wants to win and he likes Cleveland and their fans. Plus, the Cavaliers are able to give him up to $21 million for 5 years, and any other team could only give him $19.2 million for 5 years.

Although this is a very interesting article on ESPN discussing what if LeBron, Bosh, and Wade all took discounts to play in New York and form a basketball dynasty together? It sounds like a great idea, and even though their yearly salary would be less than if they signed elsewhere (The Knicks have more money than many other teams but the NBA has a salary cap) but together, they would probably get enough endorsements to make the money anyway.

*(censored)* the Bruins. First ever Bruins game I go to and they absolutely killed my like for hockey. Yes 3-0 series lead, 3-0 game lead, 4-3 loss

Man the place was pumping, it was amazing. I was waving my yellow towel like crazy. It was 3-0!!

Well the Flyers score 4 straight and one with like 4 minutes left, awful :(

My uncle left like 2 minutes before it was over so I chased him, I didn't want to get lost. But when time ran out I threw my towel all the way to China, I was pissed!!!

Me and my uncle were unbelievably mad, worst experience I've had in awhile for sure. I was so excited the whole day and just everything about this, was despressing. 3-0 lead and we lose.. the Bruins stopped playing

There is no way to describe how I feel. I'll just say I can't watch hockey for the rest of the season, this was the only realistic year to make it to the Stanley Cup and the biggest choke in NHL history occurred. I'm speechless


edit: sorry for my language

It's OK, jacobye. You still have the C's, though.

Right now I'm thinking, "Is there anything the Celtic's CAN'T do?". Really. You go up against a heavily favored Cavs team and not only beat them but beat them in 6 games. The Bruins fell apart. My dad is Po'd because his two LEAST favorite teams are now in the Eastern Finals, the Flyers and the Canaidians. All I can say is GO SHARKS!!!!!!!

I'm still in shock that of everything that happened to the Bruins, last night is an absolute blur

But I don't know how the Celtics made it here... they played with no urgency or heart during the regular season and they were a .500 team the last 50 or so games. I would be absolutely shocked if the C's made it past the Magic, and I'm always optimistic about my teams(until they lose, like the damn Bruins :evil: )

Did you guys hear about Jose Lima? He died from a massive heart attack. It makes me kind of sad, he was a fun guy. A bad pitcher especially when he was with the Mets, but still fun to watch.

I heard on TV that this was the first time since 1880 that there have been two perfect games in one season. Yes that is 1880 and not 1980.

Yep. And the two perfect games in 1880 were 5 days apart from each other.

I am SO angry at Jim Joyce right now. I hope he realizes that Tigers fans will never forget that and give him a hard time any time he umpires a game in Detroit again.

I gotta agree,personally I would have called him out,even if he just made the base,give the kid a break,hes 2 weeks out of AAA,thats skill.What REALLY amazed me was when he was just calm after the game.
