Dumbass! He just cost his team a trip to the championship

 

I agree i had to switch my bracket up a little bit after i heard that he was out for the tourny

 

Yea I had to go back and change it too. I remember last time syracuse war really good a few a years ago I had them winning it all then their best player got hurt. Can't remember who it was now though. Sucks for them.

 

Still got Syracuse winning it all.

 

Even after that last game? Wow. They shoulda lost that game. Melo'd feel like crap, had they lost, and set history

 

I was pretty much hoping for it, not because it would suck for him, but just because it would have been really funny to me.

 

Meh still got Syracuse winning it all.

 

Good things come to those who wait.
