Macca

Latest hit from Chicago band 'Chevelle' Macca 8.7

Your tipping has been quite accurate JJ , though Miami will need to get a move on after todays 94 - 105 loss to OKC in game 1 . The Heat led by 7 at half time but were over-powered by the Thunder . Durant and Westbrook were prominent . James had 30 pts for Miami . Game 2 is on Friday morning EST . 11am ESPN .

Yep , well done to LA . Fully deserved victory - they might have been the 15th or 16th best team in the regular season but it never seemed to bother these blokes . Just goes to show what can happen when a team gets hot in the playoffs .

Constant drizzle caused the match to be postponed until today . Match resumes at 9pm tonight (EST) with Rafa leading Novak 6-4 , 6-3 , 2-6 , 1-2 . Should be a fascinating finish . In the last set and a bit last night , Djokovic was over-powering Nadal . Rafa seemed non-plussed . Edit :- The match swung towards Nadal in the 4th set and Rafa wins in 4 . Topsy/turvy encounter . Thats 7 French titles now for Nadal . Fair effort !

2nd set to Nadal . Rafa now leads 6 - 4 , 6 - 3 . Serving 1st in the 3rd set . Edit - Novak takes the 3rd set 6 - 2 . We could be here quite some time ! Djokovic has lifted .

Rafa picked up the 1st set 6 - 4 and leads 2 - 1 with a break in the 2nd set . Early doors but Nadal looks so at home on this surface . Novak can't be counted out but he won't want to fall 2 sets down .

Sent you a PM , should help . Cheers

The Ice Hockey is a lot like Soccer in that it's a flip of the coin to predict a win - esp when 2 good teams go at each other . I reckon that's the strength of both sports . When it's low scoring it just adds to the tension . It's an acquired taste and needs patience but todays game just exemplified how you don't need a lot of scoring for a sport to be entertaining . The Devils have done well to work their way back into the series . LA might just have a few doubts now - they've been on a magic ride till now . Once again the 1st goal in game 6 could be telling . Go Devils !!

Miami win game 7 though Boston were right in it until near the end . Great effort from the Celtics to push it to game 7 . So it's OKC vs Miami in the final . OKC have home court advantage . Interesting that the final reverts back to 2 - 3 - 2 in terms of home court . Game 1 is on Wednesday at 11am (ESPN) . I reckon it will be OKC in 6 . Miami should get 2 home wins .

It's a fascinating poll 'dl' . Nearly 47% (at the moment) are advocating that we go after Travis - which I reckon is a high percentage , all things considered . I also think that the undecided may be more likely to vote no . We need a numbers cruncher - Bring in Graham Richardson !

Well , we go to game 6 now . That was a tense finish . 3-2 now and the momentum has shifted ! Tuesday 10am for game 6 and Thursday 10am for game 7 (if required)

Devils 2-1 ahead , just into the 3rd period - can they hang on ?

Yep , watched tonight . Was texting anybody and everybody ! They all hate Essendon . Some very happy texter's (is that a word?) Great finish . Back to tomorrows game , I've a feeling that the Devils will win . If that happens it's game on !

Ah yes , the chorus of booing will be quite something ! I couldn't blame anyone for venting . Tomorrows game starts at 10am . I take it you've got access to the game ? If not , I can PM you a link .

Well , you know how the Hockey works 'GTG' . It's just so unpredictable . If LA get the 1st goal it could be all over . You still in Oz ?

Vale Bob Welch . The former Fleetwood Mac member sadly passed away last Thursday . This song was released in the late 70's , after he had left the band . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwWZCPfdS70

I wasn't being serious - I just plucked 3 names from the past with no real forethought . Post #5 for current players .

This is an interesting poll - currently 25 each ! Where will the late votes go ? To the Conservatives ? Or the 'It's Time' people ? Could it be a stalemate ? Will we need to go to the Polls again ?

Spain to win . Holland and Germany are always dangerous and Italy can never be counted out .

Flinders st , cnr of Russell . From memory they would often show movies based on the 'Roman' times . Sorta like 'Epic Theatre' at the Cinema !

Ha ! The only forum I knew about was the Forum cinema . Now a Theatre .

Selwood - for his leadership , stats and courage Ablett - ball magnet , leadership . Franklin - Freak , matchwinner .

Hart , Matthews , Skilton .

Not Sam's day but she will be back . Stosur is getting into contention more and more these days . A semi final in a Grand Slam tournament is quite an achievement . Her last 4 years have been excellent and let's hope Sam has a few more good years left . We get a terrific match-up for the Mens Final . Djokovic/Nadal - should be a beauty and maybe a long night - thank goodness the Queen decided to have another birthday ! As for tonights final - Maria Sharapova vs Sara Errani of Italy from 11pm tonight . Ch9 are only covering the highlights at 2.24am ! It's on Foxtel for those who have it . Same goes for the Mens Final - 1.20am Monday morning for the highlights only - live on Foxtel from 11pm .
