we have names you know... :)
and it doesn't belong here...maybe one day, we'll make a Matchmaking board for you all to discuss get-togethers.
k. now that I had my fun...back it goes, but only because you got a Power Glove. (It's so bad) :jest:
**Gasp!**
Lucas? An hour away from me? Hmm....Umm......Don't think so :sweat: Its way to hard to go to Sacramento for me.

Whoa, Sats already knows? Hrrmmm.........if I can find a way up there, I shall @___@
And to answer your "Anyone live in Sacremento?" question, no I don't. And a little tidbit, I watched "The Wizard" yesterday, and one thing I noticed during the Lucas Barton part when they challange him at "Rad Racer" Lucas starts to input codes into the Power Glove well before the kid on the floor turns on the NES. Lucas starts to input codes, the movie makes a very generic "Beep blip blip" sound for buttons, then the kid puts "Rad Racer" in and turns on the NES, seems like Lucas' connection to the Power Glove does not even need electricity. "The Wizard" is also a great place to see people play NES games in Arcade cabinets, when none of those games ever existed in the Arcade. Such as Mega Man 2, the NES version of Contra, TMNT, the NES version of Ninja Gaiden, the NES version of Double Dragon, and the list goes on. Makes you think Nintendo had something to do with that movie or something, hmmmmm. I also like how "The Wizard" is referred to as a Cyborg and Freak for his "amazing" playing abilitys, when in several shots of him racking up the points you see him die, yet they cut to him still playing. And nothing is better then watching Beau Bridges play TMNT in the hotel room, he is just shaking and sweating from such intense playing. Truly an amazing film.
Definitely a high watermark in the history of art. Or an hour-plus long commercial for a crappy product that didn't work. Whatever.Quote:

I live nowhere near Sacramento, btw. Good thing, too, because whiny Kings fans drive me nuts:p
I've never seen the movie but it could be possible he's playing on a PlayChoice.Quote:

Never seeing The Wizard is like never witnessing a sunset or a shooting star.
Well I don't live anywhere near Sacremento and all I can say is the Kings were robbed by NBC/NBA. Lakers 3-peat?! Give me a freaking break, if you live any where outside California and are a Lakers fan then you are a complete tool and a poser. I live in Minnesota, and the Lakers were our team first, and I am glad those punks are gone. I would never want Shaquile "I can do what I want because if a Ref gives me a foul the NBA will fire him because NBC wants ratings" O'Neal to play on a Minnestota team. I don't care how much the Kings fans complain, they were robbed. And last time I checked watching the Lakers sweep New Jersy is extremely unintresting Basketball, and probably less people watched it for that fact. Stupid NBC and stupid NBA. I am glad NBA is going to ABC, maybe things will make sense in Basketball again.
I'm a Raptors fan, so it's tough for me to cheer for archrival Kobe, but no way the Kings got robbed. They choked, pure and simple. They averaged something like a 71% freethrow percentage over the year. In that last game they shot 51%. They hit one more during regulation, they win. Instead they got out shot by Shaquille O-freaking-Neal at the line - how embarassing was that? They flat-out choked at the line in their most important game ever.Quote:

Nevermind that, though, they still could have won. How about Peja, Mr. 3-point champ, wide open at the end of the game? Air ball. Choke.
Okay, they still could have won - what if Chris "I'm a superstar, give me a max deal!" Webber scored more the 4 frickin' points in the second half? Franchise player? Nope. Choked.
But hey, put that aside, they made it to overtime. How many did the all-star PF put in? 4 points. Again. Dude got outscored by Rick effing Fox. Choked again.
The refs had nothing to do with Sacramentto losing. LA got all the calls in game 6; fine, Sacto got 'em all in the game where Shaq fouled out. They had this series in the bag and choked it away in so many ways it wasn't even funny. Does Shaq get alot of calls? No more than Jordan. Or Bird. Hell, he gets nowhere near as much as the Badboy Pistons got, and they were freakin' thugs.
The Lakers had more composure and hit their big shots. Sacramento didn't. Even with Shaq injured, bibby was the only guy with the nads to hang with LA. Better luck next year. Or not. Vince is taking T.O. all the way!
heh, im not really one for sports, but something interesting that you guys might want to know...
my sister lives across the lake from Chris Webber and Jason Williams. dunno if that's still the case. last time i was up there, i saw Jason Williams jogging in the morning. he has a white Pontiac Grand Am, and a jokingly hot girlfriend.
and Chris Webber had 2 Mercedes.
oh, and they live next door to each other.
Tell her to spit on J-Will for me. I hate that drunk-driving racist can't-hit-a-shot pass-behind-his-back-into-the-crowd benched-in-the-fourth-quarter loser. Along with Ray Lewis, he's like my least favourite athlete ever.Quote:

Webber's supposed to be a cool guy, though. Just vanishes in big games, is all :D
Well Williams no longer plays for the Kings, but I bet he prefers living in Sacremento then shitty ol' Memphis, man he got the shaft in that deal. And when I say robbed I am not talking about game Seven, there never should have been a freaking game seven, they got robbed in game six. Sure they could have played a lot better in Game Seven, Bibby should not have been the lone gun out there, but none the less they were robbed in game six, and thats all that matters in my book. And I can't stand that premadonna Kobe Bryant. He just flips his freking lid when ever he gets a foul more then anyone else in the league, he acts like its some shift in the universe that HE KOBE BRYANT get a foul. Oh well, lets just hope them Wolves make it just a tad farther in the Playoffs this year, insted of sucking it up right off the bat.
This may be thw sleep deprivation talking, but I'd rather watch "The Wiz" with Michael Jackson than watch "The Wizard" with Fred Savage.
Stupid 2 hour Nintendo Commercial.
Well, "The Wiz" is just plain creepy. But the "The Wizard" is just plain hilarious! Weather it be watching Beau Bridges strugle with TMNT, or when the Scorpions "Send me an Angel" song kicks in for a very heart filled montage. Or how about when the girl calls the Nintendo Power tip line and goes through every single NES game ever with this one dork, at the end he has like 50 three ringed binders on his desk and he looks like he feels like he is doing something important. I am going to watch that movie again today at work, man I love working at a video store.
Since Adelman was benching him in the fourth quarter because he was too unreliable, I'd say he's right about where he belongs. If anyone got the shaft in that deal, it was the Griz.Quote:

And the Lakers got robbed in game 5, when the Kings got like 18 more calls than LA did, Shaq fouled out and Kobe came close. Home court advantage in the playoffs has been like that in the NBA for decades; has nothing to do with either LA or Sacramento. And like I said, once you choke away game 7 on your home court, you really can't complain about one game.Quote:

yeah, Kobe's a knob, but the guy can ball. No denying that. But I hope Vince does a Fred Weis on him this year :evil:Quote:

And I feel bad for you T-Wolves fans. What's it been now, 6 straight years out in the first round? Ouch.
I could care less if Kobe could sink shots from the consession stand while taking his pants off. The guy is a grade A douche bag. He is another one of those guys that came straight out of high school and can't seem to find enough time to tell you that. Not all straight out of high school guys are like that, Kevin Garrnet for example is not a pompuss ass. And if I see another one of those stupid ego boosting Kobe Sprite ads I am going to kill my self! I am sure Kobe loads up on Sprite before a big game so he has to go take a big ol' piss after each quarter. And I swear half the time when Kobe Bryant is yelling at the Refs he is reminding him that if he does'nt learn how to not call fouls on Lakers that Jack Nicholson knows a guy that can turn him into a liquid. And yes its been like Six years now for the T-Wolves, where we drop out in the second round at least. What makes so mad about it is that each year we get better but end up at the same spot! Well if stinking Terrel "I got hurt so I am going not show up for games, or excercise and go live in Las Vegas" Brandon is all healed up for next season we should be ready to pound all opponents into the ground again like we did at the beginning of last season. And if the Lakers win the championship next year I am going to give up completly on the NBA and start watching Globetrotters games because they just make more sense.Quote:

I remember seeing the commercials for the Wizard when I was young, and I wanted to see it so bad just to get an early look at Super Mario Brothers 3. I actually still haven't watched it from beginning to end either.
You guys are letting you oppinions of certain players get in the way...
Have you ever met Kobe Bryant?
Whats wrong with being a great player AND beng ultra confident?
I remember another player that was like that and people said the same type of stuff... his name was Michael Jordan...
I also ran into Glen Rice at the Roy Jones Jr. fight in Miami some months back after talking with some of Roy Jones's corner men for a minute.
While all the other celebs spread like roaches after the fight trying to avoid fans at all costs, Glen Rice walked right into the crowd signing autographs and just being friendly with his fans.
I didnt have anything ready but he scribbled his autograph on a piece of paper for me and chatted for several minutes.
He was even nice enough to stay nice and STILL sign an autograph for some ass clown that insulted him and the team hes playing for now.
Well I am pretty Michael Jordan was an ass at first as well, but it seems Space Jam cleared all that up. Plus Jordan had (probably still does) a horriable gambling problem, so he was most likely all mad about that. Plus I did not say Kobe stinks at basketball, I just said he is a douche bag cocky asshole. And whats wrong with being a great player AND being ultra confident? You come off as a major jerk. I don't want a player to come up to a camera crew before a game and say, "Oh man I am gunna go out there and score like 30 points, and do like 14 assists, and do some wicked ass slam dunks, you know real crazy shit!" and then do it. I want him to say, "Well I am going to try my best out there, we got a good team, I think we can pull through." And THEN score 30 points, 14 assists, and some crazy slam dunks. Its called sportsman ship. Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time in my opinion, but that does not make him the best person in the world. I am sure during games against teams like the Nuggets when he was still with the Bulls Jordan would go up to Pippen and go, "Man why the hell do we got to play these jerk offs, I could do 2 Nike commercials right now and then hit vegas, lose a ton of money and then get drunk in my hotel room!" But he did not tell this stuff to say Jim Gret from the NBA on NBC. Now I know Kobe has not said the stuff I am saying, but I have seen interveiws where I think he was just talking to a mirror, same with Shaq. I watched a interveiw with the Shaq Attack during the playoffs and Shaq just comes out and goes, "No one can do what I do." Well I guess you right no one could make nearly as much money playing college ball as you. Oh you meant your basketball skill. Well you know now you just sound like and ass, and when you wake up tomarrow I hope your feet shrink down to a size 7, lets see you knock people to the ground and step on them while make one of your "amazing" slow slam dunks while the ref is busy starring at Heather Lockleir, when you can't even walk your cave man like body to the bathroom adorned with un-purchased Kazam figurines. Shaq's a jerk, and Kobes a Jerk. I don't like them, and I don't like the Lakers. I hope the Staples Center breaks off California and floats away into the Pacific ocean.Quote:

And there you have it....
You just shot down your whole arguement with the blinding hate you displayed for the Lakers.
What team of yours did they spank so hard as to forever imbed hate for them in your mind?
And your main arguement is that you dont like them for the fact that they dont say cookie cutter crap like most other players.
Come back with something better then that my friend.
:D
Um, I used to live in Sacramento...
As far as Kings versus Lakers... I'm just shocked that O'Neal is allowed to play the game. Every time he gets the ball, he does something at least questionable, and about two out of five times, I'd say he deserves foul. I'm not pro ref, but I'm also not the only guy in the world who thinks Shaq gets away with everything just short of murder.
The Kings played some great basketball at some parts, and got huge leads... and then lost them. I don't recall which game it was, but they were up by more than twenty, and at the half some Laker guy made a three-pointer that shouldn't have counted (after the clock). At that time, it didn't matter. Then the Kings started stinking hard and the Lakers ended up winning by a point. D'oh. I'd say that's a joint effort by the Kings and the refs there.
Oh, if you haven't gone to Sacramento yet, the arcade to visit is The Gameroom. It's in Folsom, just outside of Sacramento - take 50 going east, take the Folsom Blvd exit going north, and turn right on Iron Point Rd (it's the first intersection after the off-ramp, I believe). There's an outlet mall, a theater, and The Gameroom right there. They've got DDR and plenty of Street Fighter (and air hockey!).
