A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
I cried when the Monstars took away the NBA players' power.

Who can remember the first time basketball made them cry?

For me as a Knicks fan it was the Charles Smith block party. (And then the entirety of the last 17 years)

I don't remember if the .4 shot made me cry but I definitely fell to my knees and let out a scream of pure anguish so that's close enough

I cried when Scott Howard won the big game and realized that his true love all along was his best friend and not the popular girl and he didn't need The Wolf.

I was close to tears when Vince missed that jumper. Ended up just leaving the house and going to play basketball at the church playground around the corner. I was so worked up that I demanded this kid 2 years younger than me play me 1 on 1 up to 100. I beat him by like 75.

Bogut is available to play for the Cavs now. Apparently it was a visa issue on why he wasn't playing until now.

Malone wants Plumlee to play more with Jokic, which I think is a terrible idea

Closest I've come to crying over a movie was when R2-D2 wakes up and C-3PO says "I missed, you old friend" I teared up on initial and subsequent viewings.

Reading about Wesley Matthews coming to terms with his Achilles rupture not being a bad dream when he woke up the next morning kinda messed me up.

Could be a philosophy thing. I.e. "let someone other than the stars beat us."

Chart doesn't have enough information to draw serious conclusions. If a guy scores sixteen points against one team and seventeen against another it isn't that enlightening.

holy poo poo the space they get to take them

It's good they have space because Sam Perkins always loaded up to shoot his line drive 3P shots like a mummified sloth. He'd get blocked all the time today.

After the Three Alphas' era of dominance only lasting three games, the second-biggest Bulls letdown this season was when Valentine's "The people saying Summer League doesn't matter didn't win Summer League" poo poo-talking was not followed by a ROTY-contending season.

I nearly passed out when my evil Patriots beat the Falcons in the super bowl.

Mainly because I was there, and the winning TD was scored 50 feet in front of me. And I hadn't stopped shouting since midway through the third.

Denzel's looked better on offense lately, the Bulls' Rondo-Valentine-Bonefoot-Niko-Felicio lineup is surprisingly kind of fun unless it results in Zipser having to guard Crawford and getting crossed so bad that he ends up with a normal amount of foot bones.
