This is the thread for saying everything that would earn you a technical foul in David Stern\'s dictatorship. Get it off your chest. Proclaim undying support for your local ball hogs, floppers, and showboaters. Explain why defense wins championships, or why scoring 168 points is the easiest path to victory.
Whatever you believe, put it here for public ridicule.
For now...
Wednesday Night: Suns vs. Spurs.... SUNS\' LOSING STREAK ENDS NOW, beeyotchs! :p Jalen Rose is comin\' to town, and Amaré is going to START. ;) Be there. Aloha.

1st game of the season or not....what happened to the NBA champs losing by 40 points?
-
...Go Knicks?
*cries*

I can honestly say, I think this is the most complete team San Antonio has ever had.
Our new center Francisco Elson is impressive and Fabricio Oberto is showing that he can score.
What do you think of the Mavs so far Core? I know it\'s extremely early, but starting out 0-3 can end up biting them in the ass. I don\'t expect them to be any worse than last year but this could fuck up their standings for the playoffs.
Can\'t wait to see Amare play. I hear he has a jumper now. I don\'t think he will ever be like he was during the Spurs-Suns series years ago. It\'s bittersweet because he showed signs of becoming as dominant as MJ, which is a shame to see that disappear at a young age. But atleast he wont be trampling the spurs :D
-
i\'m glad they are cracking down on players whining about calls.... it sets a bad example for kids growing up learning the game
i hope the refs continue this.

A) This is not the most complete team San Antonio has ever had
B) Fuck the Gators. Go everyone else.

Something is going wrong with my team when we make a turd like Oh Boy Oberto look like an all star. BTW, it\'s not as difficult to hit 100% of your shots when you are always shooting from 2 feet away from the basket.
I feel like the Suns have some strange disease, which no doctor has been able to diagnose it yet. As soon as they figure out what\'s wrong, I have great confidence that D\'Antoni will correct it. Right now he\'s fumbling around in the dark trying to strike on a solution by dumb luck.
However, I do think we\'re getting warmer. Starting Amare is definitely the right choice, but he needs to improve his endurance so he can remain on the floor longer. Of course it doesn\'t help when the refs foul him out on bullshit ticky tack non-calls.
I don\'t know what\'s going on with Dallas because I haven\'t seen them play yet this season. At least they are in worse condition that the Suns, so that makes me feel a little better. :)

Don\'t be bitter. You can say the same thing about Shaq.

Explain why defense wins championships, or why scoring 168 points is the easiest path to victory.
Speaking of which... The Suns beat the Nets last night in a 161 - 157 double overtime thriller. The game set all kinds of franchise records for New Jersey, but they still didn\'t win. :)

Here\'s a nice Page 2 article about the Suns:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070117 (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070117)
I watch all of their games. I rewind plays to see what they\'re doing and how they\'re doing it. I learn about basketball from them. I revel in their splendidry, and I don\'t even think splendidry is a word. They\'re the most consistently entertaining basketball team in 20 years. They have a chance to be historically good. You could be bouncing your grandkids on your lap someday and telling them that you watched the 2007 Suns.
...
With two reasonable breaks (Nash making the 3-pointer, Nowitzki missing the jumper), the Suns could be working on a 28-game winning streak right now. I\'ve mentioned that to three people over the last 48 hours and all of them said the same thing: "Wait a second ... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??????"
It\'s true. You can look it up.

fema is the 2nd leading killer of black people

where did that come from?

he probably heard the joke on BET, he was dieing to share it, and this is the blackest thread we have

false, true, true
but seriously, C-Webb? what a waste
-
i must say core, suns look like the team to beat
-
If only someone would beat the Mavs, so the Suns can claim the best record in the league! :hissyfit:
Hah hah.. Truly the Mavericks are the "team to beat" because no one seems capable of doing it. Including the Suns. Phoenix has a couple more cracks at them, so who knows.
One thing I love is seeing Charles Barkley eat his words at last. He\'s been criticizing the Suns for so long, but now there\'s no denying that this team is better than his 92-93 team. The current team already broke their franchise win streak record. I think they might break it again in about a week. :D

24 Points, 23 Rebounds
:laughing:

what ever happened to shaq
-
hahaha nice Core. He always eats us up for some reason.
I think pop likes it that way. He said he wanted Amare to score in the conference finals because it was better than having people heave 3\'s the whole time.
Good game, except for the last 2:30.

#11 Earl Boykins - 5\'5" 133lbs
Holy ish there\'s someone smaller than me in the NBA :eek:
-
Yeah, Shrimpy Boykins used to play for the Nuggets. The NBA seems to have a fascination with little guys. They are always cast as quick tenacious defenders. In this case, Boykins just isn\'t that good. It\'s amazing that he can compete at all given his size, but compared to bigger guys, he isn\'t that good.
-
Too bad for Miami. Wade injuring his shoulder. The east is detroit\'s to lose. I didn\'t think the heat would take the east anyways. But hey you ask all the so called analyst.
-
Don\'t feel too bad for Miami because they never had a chance anyway.
For the past couple years, Miami and basically all eastern teams suck compared to the West. The only reason Miami won a championship last year is because Dallas mysteriously FOLDED like a tortilla. They did not present a credible challenge to Miami. It was embarrasing for me to watch because it was like Dallas became a bunch of little girls in the Finals.
I am not a professional basketball player, so I cannot begin to imagine the pressure at that level of competition, but still there were no excuses for what Dallas LET happen. They will not let it happen again, nor will any other top western team that reaches the finals.
The NBA championship belongs to the west for the next few years at least.

Question:
Is this the gayest coat you\'ve ever seen in your life? OK, I know there were probably some Liberace coats that were more gay, but that was in the 70\'s when everything was more gay than it is now.

Yeah I hope so too. I guess you should be hoping that the Spurs are ready... but this will be a home game for them, so I guess you don\'t have to worry about that too much.
You should email Popovich and tell him to guard Leandro Barbosa at the three point line. Also, someone needs to step out and guard Amare\'s midrange jump shot. He will be draining that one all night. :)
I don\'t think the Spurs can catch the Suns in the standings, but I\'m still concerned about this game. When I look at the league, I\'m worried about both Dallas and San Antonio. Perhaps more about San Antonio because I still think certain Mavericks players have a tendency to crumble when the pressure is really on. Their regular season record doesn\'t mean shit.
I don\'t watch too many Spurs games because I can\'t stand watching the way those jerks play. Sort of like Laker games... I can\'t stand watching them. However, I read the box scores, and the Spurs are doing pretty well. I don\'t have any great insight on them
BTW, I went to the Suns / Mavs game on Sunday in Phoenix, and it was the greatest NBA game I\'ve ever attended. The energy in that building was amazing.

hey Core, how did April fools go for you? Didn\'t laugh too much did you

Seriously, even if Detroit makes it to the finals, they will be kicked in the nuts and thrown on the floor by whichever team comes out of the west. Oh well, maybe Detroit can finally sweep a team in the earlier rounds.

Golden State is dominating the Mavs...its so fun to watch. Give it up to Nelson for knowing how to control his former team. Baron Davis is a little bearded monster.
Sucks that the Raptors are gonna lose. Great season ruined by a couple of games where no one showed up to play. Bad Canada. :(
-
What a great weekend. I watched so much basketball over the last two days, and it feels awesome.
BARON DAVIS and the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS are putting on the greatest show on hardwood right now. It\'s so weird to see this happening to the Warriors. I used to live in the east bay, and I went to many Warriors games back when they were the doormat of the league. Now they look like superpowered giant killers. Maybe they are JEDI giant killers because Nellie said "the force was with them." Meanwhile, the Mavericks are FOLDING UP, CRUMBLING, and CHOKING like they always do. Maybe they haven\'t been challenged enough in the regular season, or maybe it was a mistake for them to put so much emphasis on their record. In any case, It seems everyone overestimated them. Goodbye Dallas. You are doomed.
All we need now is for Denver to get their shit together and start playing basketball like they are capable of doing. I don\'t see it happening though. They looked REALLY BAD in game 3, and they can\'t get it done that way. They play so slow, it\'s painful and agonizing to watch. Do they think they can play a half court game better than the Spurs? If so, they need to put down the crack pipe. The only fragment of a chance they have is SPEED, SPEED, and MORE SPEED. We\'ll see if they wise up in game 4.
Today the Lakers tried to stick their fingers in the frosting, and the Phoenix Suns smacked em down like they were 9 years old. I attended the game, and it gave me great pleasure to be personally booed by a hoard of drunken idiots all wearing No.24 jerseys. I guess that team has officially become the Los Angeles Kobes. I get a big chuckle whenever I hear "Suns Suck!!!!11111" Yeah, I guess they must suck because they are beating your team 3-1. What does that say about the Lakers? No more bullshit from these lame ass Laker fans will be tolerated. Know your place in the year 2007, and stop living in the past. Your season has one game left, and it will be played in Phoenix on Wednesday night. So mote it be.

Gee, home court advantage would have come in handy right about now, eh? :)
-
Nice Core
-
OK, I guess it was Steve Nash\'s house of pain instead. Just not the type of pain I expected. I do find it funny that after Nash and Parker collided, Parker started rolling around on the floor like a puss. Then Nash, who sustained the REAL injury to his nose and got back on his feet immediately, WALKS over to Parker and checks to see if he is OK.
This series has a hell of a long way to go.
-
Cmon Bulls for fucks sake.
-
Strange as it may be for me, I am rooting for the Bullz.
-
Friggen Chris Webber is awesome this playoffs. Guy still has it.
And yeah, all the Spurs are pretty much huge pussies. OW MY HEAD OH NOES. Hey my nose is bleeding profusely whatev. Such a difference in manliness.
-
The Bulls are just plain out of their league here.
-
Do you have nothing to add to this Halberto? Are you proud of your useless broken-down thugs, like Bowen and Horry? It amazes me that sportsmanship seems to be irrelevant to so many Spurs fans. All that matters to them is victory at any cost.
I would advise the Spurs to get ready for a gigantic karmic kick in the ass.
-
Robert Horry is now officially the most worthless lying pile of shit in the NBA. He has ZERO integrity and ZERO sense of sportsmanship. He is utterly worthless, and his career is coming rapidly to an end. What a legacy he is leaving...
http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/0516horry-ON.html (http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/0516horry-ON.html)
-
I never thought of the Spurs as a dirty team, but this is just too much. How can they suspend Amare and Diaw, I mean sure, it was wrong of them to leave their benches, but it is instincts. You need to protect your teammates and this shit has went on for too long. I just am disgusted not only by the Spurs, but mainly by the NBA for suspending Amare and Diaw. I love tough and physical play, but there is a line whenever players are deliberately trying to injury other players.
-
I\'d say I believe everything Horry said about the situation, and that he deserved the suspension. But Amare and Diaw didn\'t deserve it.
Are the spurs a cheap team? No. But the suspensions made it seem that way.
-
You believe what Horry said????? Here\'s what he said:
"I was going to try and take a charge and then I thought, ssshhh, he\'s too fast," Horry said. "So I\'m like, \'I\'ll just bump him a little bit,\' and as you know, the great acting skill Steve has, when you hit the floor and flop, and he\'s like \'Oh, I\'m dying over here.\' ...
It was an intentional foul with 18 seconds left in the game. OK, that\'s fine. Happens all the time to stop the clock and force free throws. HOWEVER, an intentional foul traditionally involves grabbing the opponent, which is the safest and quickest foul possible. If Horry had a choice between taking a charge (an incredibly stupid idea against Steve Nash in the open court) and grabbing him, he should have grabbed him.
There was NO REASON to bump him. It served no purpose other than to release frustration, "send a message," or possible to injure him. It was completely unnecessary.
As for the flopping, that was irrelevant. Nash\'s only flop was remaining on the floor about 1 second longer than normal. Not much of a flop compared with the writhing and moaning the Spurs do on a regular basis.
It doesn\'t matter now anyway. It\'s history. Another black mark on Horry\'s career, and an ugly smudge on the Spurs\' franchise.
-
Nobody wants to see those boring ass spurs play basketball. The fans lose and the Nba lose. If it not for the pistons I woud be done. The spurs are just not fun to watch. They are a snore fest. The Suns might as well give it up. They blew it last year and again this year.
-
Spurs are getting their fourth championship in 8 years
-
No one gives a fuck. And that includes television viewers across the nation.
-
I could care less if nobody is watching. It\'s still happening

Bogus Finals Stern\'s just reward for his playoffs sham
Column by Carl Steward
Article Last Updated: 06/14/2007 09:04:30 AM PDT
SOBERING THOUGHT: The Warriors probably could have beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers for the NBA Championship. Scary.
And if you dispute that, you know it\'s a slam dunk that the Phoenix Suns, the team that really should be on the cusp of winning it all tonight, definitely would have.
Instead, we have the San Antonio Spurs propped up once again for a continuation of their phony dynasty. Credit the Spurs for being ruthlessly efficient in achieving what everyone expected them to do, but let\'s be blunt: They\'re an uninteresting team about to win a tainted title, and doesn\'t care.
David Stern, the man with the sickeningly smug smile, is drowning in his own arrogance right now. The NBA playoffs began as a fun-filled blast but are finishing now up a flat-lining bore.
Ever since the Warriors and Suns went out, the postseason has been dreadful, almost unwatchable theater. If it wasn\'t for LeBron James, trying so admirably to win the whole thing singlehandedly, we\'d have switched over to the Home & Garden Channel long ago.
Ah, but at least Robert Horry will win his seventh ring after delivering the most infamousbodycheck in league history, the one that showed Stern\'s leadership of this league for what it really is — a hierarchy of haughtiness. so self-absorbed it is blind to the injustices and ills that afflict the league on a variety of fronts.
NBA fans who love the game should never let Stern forget May 14, when the Suns were so unfairly penalized for reacting to Horry\'s pathetic slam on Nash while the Suns were closing out a Game 4 win of the Western Conference semifinal in
If it wasn\'t bad enough that the league meted out ridiculous one-game suspensions to Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw that wound up hurting Phoenix more than the Spurs, the pompous Stern went on the attack to defend the NBA\'s decision.
In a much-publicized interview with ESPN\'s Dan Patrick, Stern all but spat in Patrick\'s face when he dared to suggest the penalties were unfair. He resented even being challenged on it and taunted Patrick with insinuations that he was just being a troublemaker and didn\'t know what he was talking about.
But then the Spurs won Game 5 in by three points, a game the Spurs almost certainly would have lost if Stoudamire and Diaw had played. Maybe still might have won the series, but let\'s face it, the Spurs were facing two elimination games without homecourt advantage. Not likely.
Stern, of course, will hand over the trophy to the Spurs with that stupid smile and toast them as one of the great teams of all-time, if not tonight then some night soon. But it\'ll be a ruse of the commissioner\'s own creation.
I hate to be so hard on the Spurs because they play exquisite team basketball. They play terrific defense. They pass beautifully, post up masterfully. Tim Duncan is a future Hall of Famer, and Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are superb, gritty players.
But it\'s all built on a foundation of good fortune that in any other league would amount to fraud. See, the Spurs never should have had . They got him as a result of another Stern sham, the lottery, by piling up losses in a year in which David Robinson was injured, then winning the lottery over the more "deserving" Boston Celtics.
Of course, the Celtics got hosed again in the most recent lottery disgrace, shut out of the top two franchise players, Greg Oden and Kevin Durant.
Welcome to King David\'s domain. The lottery came into being following Stern\'s rise to power in 1984 and has been an unjust carnival-act joke for much of its 22 years. But it remains because of Stern, and how dare anybody question any entity, however trumped-up, he presides over.
Stern has been hailed as a great commissioner by some, but beyond the financial growth of the league — which probably would have occurred for anyone riding the coattails of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and the explosion of the international game — it\'s tough to see.
The NBA is a league that has priced the average fan into the nosebleed seats, if they can even afford those. It is a league that used its financial clout to crush a promising women\'s winter circuit and create its own summertime farce. It is a league that has bastardized its rules almost beyond comprehension and allowed officiating consistency to deteriorate to an appalling level. Hey, nice arm-tackle on James by Bruce Bowen that concluded Game 3 Tuesday night to a no call.
In a more well-run league, we might have had the Warriors and Suns in a scintillating Western Conference finals spectacle, but at the least, we should have had Nash and . Unfortunately, the NBA cut off its nose to spite its self-satisfied face, if only to protect Stern\'s long out-of-control ego.
The only solace is that the commissioner\'s getting his just reward now — a bogus champion in an NBA Finals the nation has turned off out of disillusionment, disgust and disinterest. Nice going, Dave. Smile that autocratic smile for the cameras one more time, you charlatan.

Yes Core we know nobody likes the Spurs. But that doesn\'t take anything from how good they are. The simple fact is the best teams go to the championship, and the Spurs are the best.
-
The NBA is supposed to be entertaining. I for one lost interest in the Finals despite the fact I enjoyed seeing the cavs make a run to the finals. Judging from the lack of enthusiasm from the general mass seems to make my opinion in the majority. I don\'t care that the spurs are the best team in the NBA, if i\'m not entertained watching the games, something is fundamentally wrong with how the NBA is being run.
-
How can it be the NBA\'s fault that America doesn\'t like the Spurs? Do you want the NBA to decide on the most entertaining teams to go to the finals instead of letting them play it out? I don\'t know what to make from that comment.
Entertainment today seems to be big-headed players (Kobe or Shaq) or ones that start fights with people. The Spurs are the best example of teamwork and ego-less basketball. But since America could care less about those qualities they will always get low ratings.
-

You mean like Robert Horry?
I acknowledge that the Spurs are currently the best team in the NBA. They are slightly better than the Phoenix Suns. I say this because if the Suns were truly better, they never would have gotten behind in that series, and they wouldn\'t have let the outcome be decided by a few calls / noncalls / suspensions / etc.
HOWEVER, you must acknowledge that the Spurs got a little help along the way from David Stern when he suspended Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw in game 5. The fact that the Spurs made it to the Finals instead of being eliminated in the 2nd round was not entirely due to their own abilities. They had a little assistance from the league at a critical moment.

No, the cavs are way in over their fucking heads which means the games are absolutely heartbreaking to watch.

MBP: Most Band-wagoning Player
It is such a huge shame that Robert Horry will go down in the history books as the player with the most championships than anyone non-Celtic. One of the greatest travesties in this scenario is that Robert Horry will have more championships than one of the greatest, if not the greatest, basketball players to have ever played the game in Michael Jordan. Throw Scottie Pippen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, or even the Celtic Larry Bird into the mix, and Robert Horry can claim that he has out-ringed all these great players. Robert Horry is the worst player ever to be named into the category of \'Most Championships Won\', as he isn\'t even a tenth of the skill, talent, or will of any of the preceding players mentioned above. It is ridiculous. That is why Full Court has decided to award Robert Horry with the MBP, in recognition that no other player in the next century will be able to even closely mimic what Horry has achieved. Robert Horry jumps from team to team and analyzes his prospects very well. If he doesn\'t see a championship in the team\'s future within the next 3 years, he will throw a towel in the face of his coach, get himself suspended, and be traded to another team more to his liking. It was evident that Horry felt the foreboding of a Laker-team-meltdown, so he swam in the free agent pool and found himself in the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. What a genius. Robert Horry now has 7 championship rings, one more than Michael Jordan.

First off, Robert Horry left LA because they didn\'t want him. He played like shit against the Spurs so they let him go. Second, bash him all you want but everyone knows they would have him attempt that game-winning shot for their team.
What a waste of time to write an article so long.
