well, although the pistons lost and the spurs won, at least i can be comfortable knowing the pistons pushed the spurs to actually earn their rings, unlike the previous years when the spurs reached the finals. game 7 was actually pretty close, and at times in the pistons' favor. i thought the pivotal moments came when detroit's best big men were sitted b/c brown was afraid to get them in deeper foul trouble. that's when duncan just took advantage of the mismatches, b/c detroit went small. but give the spurs credit; i don't think they have any glaring weaknesses out of all the teams in the nba. detroit did spectacular, but you could say in game 7 their weakness of a thin bench finally came out, because once they got in foul trouble, they really got nailed.
strangely enough, bob got his wish after game 4; all the following games were close.
series recap in short:
i was wrong about parker; the big guard for the spurs was manu ginobili, and the x-factor came from robert horry. duncan was of course their constant; wasn't flat-out dominant like in previous years when he almost got a quadruple double, but the big overall consistent person.
i was also wrong about detroit; their main guard was billups; i seriously don't give this guy enough credit; doesn't always score big every game, but he's the most consistent offensive player. big ben was also a serious mvp candidate for the pistons, as he played his heart out after game 2, with rebound after rebound; although he had his difficulties w/guarding duncan, the series would have even greater swung towards the spurs if it weren't for him. and mcdice was huge off the bench. the series could have been greatly different if prince was a much bigger factor; he was just too quiet offensively.
despite what it seemed like, i think maybe, just MAYBE, detroit could've won in 6 if rasheed had not tried to double ginobili in game 5 during overtime(basically if detroit actually won 3 in a row at home). but then again, i don't know if spurs would've played the same during game 6, and ditto for the pistons.

what i find most intriguing about the bible is that specific verses not only agree with each other at the time it was written, but it agrees with the past, and the future as well. god was not lying at all when he said his words are truth.
because inside it it pinpoints every single antichrist who hates jesus and only desires power of this world. i would not be surprised if there really was a conspiracy to entirely undermine and persecute the christian faith occurring right now. if the kjv bible really was god's word alone, and did pinpoint every single antichrist to come, then that's even more reason to understand why so many bible versions were created.
FOR SURE, my biblical research definately will not end with just the topic of the validity of the KJV bible vs the validity of all other modern bibles. in fact, i might even put aside the topic of the roman catholic church, and look at the zionists specifically after the bible research. it seems like speculatively, that could be a bigger problem than the RCC.
but i'm losing you. so here's something you can try to see just one of the grains of sand of evidence supporting the kjv. of course, there's more, but you can try this yourself.
go to biblegateway.com and select king james version as your bible search engine. type in "holy one," search, and select "more results from king james version" at the bottom of the page. change "match all words" to "match exact phrase." then search again. got it? you should see a plephora of matches with "holy one," often times "holy one of israel."(you can try searching "holy one of israel" instead) note the allegiance of the one who says it(good or evil?) should be overwhelmingly one sided who says it.
now try the same thing with the words "holy one of god." note who says it each time it pops up, how many verses pop up.
now try "Christ, the Son of the Living God" and note who says it each time it pops up, how many verses pop up.
got it?
now try the same search w/the NIV search engine.("Holy One of Israel", then "Holy One of God", then "Christ, the Son of the Living God")
go ahead and compare "Holy One of God" with "Christ, the Son of the Living God" using the other bible search engines.
interestingly enough, if you did it correctly, only 21KJV has similar results to KJV; of course, that bible also has problems that other arguments explain, but i'll explain what's the significance of these searching results tomorrow or so; give you a day or two to brood on it.

my tekken 5 skills are horrid... they SUCK. this is why if i'm planning on playing tekken 5 more, i should save up instead of playing tekken 3 at the mu.
i was lucky to get ONE win with jin... my card now has a 8% win ratio w/him...
did a lot better with nina, although i'm being generous... 25% is about my win ratio right now. about 4:16 i would say.
didn't bother w/my devil jin card
still, it was fun enough playing somebody instead of the cpu... strange though... the person i played was from out of state.
i should learn bryan and create a card w/him.
