Pierce at the top of his game
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett was viewed by many as the leading candidate to be NBA MVP prior to the abdominal injury that caused him to miss nine games. But if the 2004 NBA MVP had a vote, it would go to Garnett’s teammate, Paul Pierce.
“I got Paul for MVP this year,” said Garnett, who won the award four years ago with Minnesota. “He does a lot of things, just little small things that people don’t see. There are only three people I like to watch on offense, and he’s one of them, man. He makes scoring look easy. He has an uncanny confidence about him that I love, cockiness and self-assurance.
“I told you, there is a reason why I came here. He’s one of the reasons.”
Pierce is also one of the main reasons the Celtics have the NBA’s best record at 50-12.
On a team with three All-Stars and lots of scoring, Pierce is averaging a team-best 20.3 points in 37.2 minutes. He is shooting 45 percent from the field, a career-best 84.4 percent from the line, and his 3-point percentage of 39.5 is his best since the 2001-02 season. He averages 5.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.3 steals, and is also the only Celtic who has played in all 62 games (after playing in only 47 last season because of injuries).

I’m not a big fan of Family Guy, but I always enjoyed that particular moment.

Why in the name of all goodness are you not a big fan of Family Guy? I have seen every single one of the episodes and movies. So why?

No. The Soviet Union boycotted the games, and all the countries with sympathetic governments (to which you also allude) were obliged to do likewise. Suffice it to say, no country other than the Soviet Union boycotted the olympics willingly.Having said that… I suspect you will find that you are actually clinically retarded, if you take the proper examination.

Each to their own. Personally I think it’s absolutely terrible. Along with ‘Friends’, it’s one of the only television shows I really despise.

I hate to say this… but the time for that action is now years past.They aren’t going to outright cancel the Olympics. Too much money is involved, and even more politics.The only thing that might be considered would be moving them elsewhere, and it’s too late for them to move the Olympics elsewhere…. Too much planning and preparation goes into them now-a-days.

Actually most chinese people have forgotten the events of 1989. The less educated people won’t even know it. Most chinese people don’t recognize the famous picture of a man before a line of tanks.However the Party will be watching very closely what happens, and knows that western countries don’t like seeing human right violation (except when they’re the ones committing it in Iraq of course).

I wasn’t aware there was any evidence of genocide, apart from a bunch of wild and very disputed claims by the Central Tibetan Administration. The worst thing the Chinese could be realistically accused of is apartheid, a far cry from genocide.

The document called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf by the neo-conservative think tank called ‘The Project for a New American Century’ http://www.newamericancentury.org/http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Project_for_the_New_American_Centuryseems very suspicious as well.
