I'm going to enjoy rooting for the Bulls. After LeBron snubbed them I still thought they were the challengers with Boston. Teams should beat individuals. Chicago has the defense, depth, and cohesiveness to win the east. As for the Finals we'll see.

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to nba until playoffs and still don't watch a bunch but do pay attention to the scores. I just don't understand the hatred for Lebron. Of course he could have made less of a spectacle out of his move to a new team but I can't say I blame him in moving to a different team and coach where he felt he had his best chance of winning a title. I can certainly understand why people would hate a Tiger Woods for example, much more than Lebron.

I'll add coaching into the mix too. Tom Thibodeau is in an incredible coach, he and his staff clearly have the edge there IMO.

I use to play hoops occasionally against Mussleman, Thibodeau and other wolves employee's at the 98th street racket club when that was the Wolves practice facility the first year or two they were in the league. They used play in the pic-up game when they had some extra time on there hands...Mussleman as you know was one competitive SOB and hated to lose more than anybody, even in a pick-up basketball game against fledgling players like myself... smile He got so mad one time he went and got Tony Campell and made him play... grin

Looks like the home cooking is going to be really important in the East series. Great first game for Chi-town.

HEAT looked alot better last night. The Bulls made it to the rim plenty of times, but couldn't finish. I look for the Bulls to bounce back but it's going to be a close score.

I do like OKC and would be happy for them, but Dirk/Kidd are running outa time while Durant and Westbrook are young pups still.

Pretty good game last night. I think a heat mav final will be really good entertainment. I like both teams so should be fun to watch but first they have to close out the bulls and thunder.

wasn't it Miami that came back, down 3-0 or 3-1 or something like that, and broke the hearts of the Mavs the last time they got to the Finals?

Wow what a finish last night! I thought the game was over when the bulls were up by 14 with 4 minutes left but then the big 3 went crazy. Almost felt sorry for the bulls. Should be a great finals. Hopefully it goes 7 games.

yep. lebron looks like he enjoys playing on a team that has some talent where he doesn't have to do it all himself. makes him all the more dangerous. I know he's not well liked but given how poor cleveland was this year it makes you appreciate how much he did for that team when he played with them and made them a contender.

I still can't figure out why people not from Cleveland hate Lebron? He did his "decision" show that wasn't the greatest way of letting down the fans of Cleveland but he did raise money for a good cause in the process. The guy is a stud on the court and you don't hear a bad thing about him off the court.....he will go down as one of the greatest all around b-ball players ever!!

Same reason Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and a whole slew of other people not associated with the Cavilers hated on him. It was just a classless way to do it. Plain and simple!

The guy Rocks, to bad he had to take the cheap fake way about it like Garnett to win one but I don't blame them for that. Garnet had to he wasn't good enough to win a championship and Obviously Lebron was/is and would have.

Cause Smause!

when the going gets tough...........lebron hides in the corner. just a sad fact.

he's not a mentally tough competitor. The most talented (not the best, just the most raw talent) player in the world CAN NOT only score 8 points in the first 3 quarters and then hide the entire 4th quarter and expect to win.

Just for the record, 2 of his 8 game 4 points came on free throws on a play where he blatantly faked a foul when he never got touched. Jordan would NEVER do that.

That's why people don't like him.

tonight will tell us a lot about his mental toughness. one thing to keep in mind is he never said he was the next jordan.

greebs he didn't have to explicitly say he was the next jordan. As a side note Kobe has always hated that people called him the next Jordan, and I even don't like comparing guys to a legend that nobody will ever live up to.

But he assumed the role by being the most athletically gifted player to ever play, signing mega-million dollar contracts and endorsement deals, airing "the decision"...face it you're only paid that much to win championships. Jordan did it. Kobe's done it. Lebron? we'll see...

Kobe had Shaq, Jordan had Pippen. Up until now Lebron has had.... Illgauskas? Gotta give the guy a chance. No superstar can do it by himself. Really, other than "The Decision", which was stupid, has Lebron EVER done anything to make you not like him?

Kobe won in 2009 and 2010 w/o shaq, and Rodman was a bigger factor in '97 and '98 than pippen was.. my point being that every superstar who ever won has had quality teammates. You're right, those cleveland teams didn't have the supporting cast.

And yes, lebron has done many other things besides "the decision" to make me not respect him as a true competitor. Just watch the video:

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.
