Great game by the Pistons last night huh? Shutup Boom.

Tweaked my neck doing my shoulder routine at the gym. How? I have no idea. Anyways, I'm probably not going back for a few days.

What's up with you?

Steve, you have to admit that LeBron is in Tayshawn's head. He looks scared on defense and tentative on offense when they play. I think all of his baskets were in transition. Varejao does a good job of getting Rasheed in "crazy" mode where he just jacks up threes. I bet you're glad they won't be seeing each other until the conference finals.

QOTD: The N64 controller. I could play for hours and not get the hand cramps that I get with the next 2 gen's controllers.

Spring Break is winding down Other than the relaxing time off, nothing happens at all.

QOTD I'm gonna have to go with the 360 controller. Fits well in my hand, and the button layout is impeccable, imo. Wouldn't be mad if it never changes.

QOTD: The original XBOX controller. It's big enough to be durable but not too clunky. Good placement of the buttons and sticks, as well as the triggers. I love it.

QOTD - The Sega Dreamcast Controller, which later became the Xbox S-Type!

[MassNole]

QOTD: Definitely the original Xbox Controller.
