OPEN THREAD: Day 24 of the 2k8 NBA Playoffs

Hey, Celtics, do you think you guys can win a game on the road?  After going a league-best 31-10 in the regular season, these guys can't seem to find it in 'em to pull it off away from the lovely city of Boston. But how come?  You would think Garnett, Allen, and Pierce wouldn't choke…

OPEN THREAD: Day 21 of the 2k8 NBA Playoffs

Thank god Boston came back into some kind of form. Not particularly because I want them to win, but more so because I couldn’t take another garbage game like Game 1 of the series. I was pretty much thrilled to see either of the two teams score some points. In the meanwhile, San…

OPEN THREAD: Day 18 of the 2k8 NBA Playoffs

While three of the four matchups in the second round are already underway, there remains a lone 7 game series that has yet to begin. And this series is arguably going to be the most entertaining of them all. (I know… we’ve said that about pretty much every matchup this…

Golden State of Mind... GTA style!

It seems like forever since I've posted anything new on GSoM and I apologize for that. One thing I'm happy to share with the world is that I've been on a diet for 9 weeks now and have dropped 21 pounds. I've been spending a lot of my drawing time on working out (2 hours a day), cooking…

OPEN THREAD: Day 16 of the NBA 2k8 Playoffs

Last night gave us hope that this might be the end of the Snores er.. Spurs dynasty.  Sorry Reggie, but David West is NOT Antawn Jamison.  But Chris Paul is Isiah Thomas (as a player not GM) for the 21st century.  The Detroit Pistons have prevailed  once again; J.J.…

OPEN THREAD: Day 28 of the NBA2k8 Playoffs

20-1 is the current record of teams playing at home during these playoffs. With that said, can we expect the Hornets to finish off the Spurs in game 7?  If that's so, should we just call a Vegas casino and bet the house that the Lakers and the Celtics will lose tonight but take it in…
