  1. If Pacers played Rockets in a series, I think it goes 7. Their record is product of weak East. Save Heat's coronation for a real opponent. 7:44 PM May 24th via web
  2. Amazing what seeing a ball drop in can do for confidence. That was a very nice stroke from J.D. Martinez for another two-out hit. #Astros 6:56 PM May 23rd via web
  3. Winning at Twitter. RT @SethDavisHoops When did the Sixers and Celtics join the Big Ten? 6:38 PM May 23rd via web
  4. This is why I lack sympathy for the Jim Joyce's of the world. Want us to accept you're human? Fine, give same courtesy to players. Sheesh. 6:28 PM May 22nd via web
  5. Feel terrible for Chris Johnson. Only thing worse than a bad call is an umpire that's so sensitive he tosses a player for being upset. 6:27 PM May 22nd via web
  6. @joshua_mosley Yup. I've gotten to where I cheer against Wade (for that reason) more than LeBron, and I didn't know that was possible. 6:02 PM May 22nd via web in reply to joshua_mosley
  7. Sad but true: in today's NBA, officials watch the reaction as much as they do the actual foul. Tyler needed to milk it more. 6:01 PM May 22nd via web
  8. If Hansbrough had flopped and rolled around like Wade did, I think that's a flagrant 2 on Haslem. 5:59 PM May 22nd via web
  9. This is awesome. RT @zacharylevine: Yes, that is Astros GM Jeff Luhnow working as an usher at today's Astros game. twitter.com/zacharylevine/… 5:55 PM May 22nd via web
  10. Spurs are playing as well as any team in years, but OKC's core of talent is that good. Ultimate test, but I think this is their coronation. 9:42 PM May 21st via txt
  11. Feel I'm in the minority, but I'll stick with OKC over Spurs. Long series, but I trust KD, Westbrook and Harden so much when close/late. 9:40 PM May 21st via txt
  12. Jason freakin' Castro. What a time for his first HR. Haven't worried about his numbers because ABs have been competitive. He'll come around. 5:54 PM May 21st via web
  13. That's the 3rd walk for J.D. Martinez in five starts after having only 2 in the first 15 days of May. Starting to turn it around, it seems 5:50 PM May 21st via web
  14. @Kyle7R I think it helps that Luhnow already has a relationship with Berkman from STL. Seem to like each other. 1:01 PM May 21st via web in reply to Kyle7R
  15. For Astros, injury may lower Berkman's price so that it's not a major risk. Plus, fan-friendly move for Crane heading into unpopular AL. 6:38 AM May 21st via txt
  16. Would reduce travel for him and eliminate time in the field. Could see it being Lance's way to say goodbye. Hope it happens for 2013. 6:35 AM May 21st via txt
  17. Can't help but wonder if Berkman's ACL injury makes it more likely he ends career as Astros' DH. Doubt he wants to leave on these terms. 6:34 AM May 21st via txt
  18. Heat/Pacers will hinge on Haslem's jumper, I think. If he makes those 15 footers, like Bosh did, that spaces floor and James/Wade can drive. 3:09 PM May 20th via web
  19. Funny how Wade's "knee" looks just fine now that he's making shots. Pay no attention to the whines of one of the NBA's biggest brats. 2:15 PM May 20th via web
  20. Has Hubie Brown gone senile? Um, it's pretty obvious why Hibbert fouled Wade like that: so Wade couldn't get a shot off for the "and 1". 1:39 PM May 20th via web
