All on acciddent of course.

Oden will just step on that tiny man like a bug. Besides, Oden looks as if he could be Bowen's father.

:lol

And Aldridge is from Texas.

Guess what, you don't **** with Texas. You of all people should know that.

I don't think there are any spurs fans on this forum actually from San Antonio.

Just because it bears repeating.

This series should be interesting.

The Spurs will be focusing all their attention on Daniel Gibson so other players need to hit big shots. The Cavs role players need to step up. Guys like Ilgauskus, James, and Gooden have to step up their game and play well for the Cavs to have a chance.

:lol

Oden crosschecks so well the Blue Jackets were looking at him for a while. (Just ask that dude on Xavier in the NCAA Tournament.) No one's going to injure him but himself with that stupid dunk motion of his. It's gonna be Bill Walton all over again, but without the championships or awesome facial hair.

Ah, silly Lakers fan. Already started the fear train?

Walton's injury problems were related to his high arched feet. Oden does not have that same problem.

Determined to get back into uniform, Walton ignored the skepticism of doctors who said he would never play again. In 1981 he underwent radical surgery to restructure his battle-scarred left foot. The high arch believed to have made his foot bones susceptible to breaking was lowered. The idea was to expose the bones to less stress when Walton's feet hit the ground, particularly after skying high for a dunk or rebound.

:lol I've been a Spurs fan since 90 and no it wasn't because of D Rob. I lived through the days of the Del Negro/Johnson backcourt, hemisphere arena, alomodome and Duncan bitching about playing in it, Rodman era, trading Sean Elliott for Rodman then getting him back for Curley, the Robinson injury season, before the net I actually read the newspaper just to see the box score of their games, so on and so on. I was even against drafting Duncan because we had D Rob in the front court. We needed a guard that could score and Ron Mercer was looking real nice back then :lol

I laughed because he ended up on the Spurs roster and was injured 80% of the season


of course back then my basketball knowledge wasn't robust as it is now. If I knew 1/2 of what I know now, I would've made it on the UNLV roster in 98 -_-

Well, at least you aren't like all of the white Blazers fans last season that wanted Portland to draft Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy and LMA.

Then again... Mercer over TD? Seriously?
 
reilo said:

I'm well aware of the medical problem a jealous USC doctor gave one of the greatest Bruins ever. Like I said, Oden will injure himself as long as he keeps doing that lemur impression during hang time, all the time.

Also, you have to realize I'm Oden hater #1 on GAF. I had that shit going in the NCAA threads in 2006/2007 so no one can claim seniority.

Oh, the next few years are going to great between us, aren't they?

With your Lakers sucking badly, and Portland winning all of those rings in the next few years. Amirite?

Yes. The Spurs backcourt was always weak. Elliott was more of a foward than a 2 guard.
By drafting Duncan, I was thinking it would be the end of D Rob. Hell, if the Spurs had a true shooting guard in 93, they would've beat the Suns and that Barkley shot over Robinson in game 6 would never happen.

My first year at UCLA was Brandon Roy's ridiculous senior season so I'm used to having my teams lose to the guy. :(

But you'll be losing to Roy AND Oden. That must be a bitter pill to swallow. Not to mention LMA doing his thing.
 
Brilliant thread title. That's what I was thinking the whole night...

And as we saw, Damon was worthless tonight...like he was game 7 against Detroit 2 years ago :(
 
Is there anybody with a soul who doesn't want to see the Spurs go down? I respect Duncan & all, but Bowen is pure, concetrated evil and must be destroyed.

And now, a chosen one has come...

I really respect Roy's game and think he's a great example of why GMs shouldn't **** over guys that stay in college while drafting Sebastian Telfairs. So hey, more power to him.

Kobe should call up Lebron and ask him how to carry a team to the finals.

Play two of the worst playoff teams of all time in the first two rounds and catch an aging Pistons team napping?
 
etiolate said:

Oh yeah, because playing the Suns in the first round is the same as playing a Wizards team without its All-Stars.

James is a great player, and one day he may be better than Kobe, but that day is not today. You switch Kobe for James, and the Lakers still lose in the first round and the Cavs still beat those sorry teams. Now, if James can beat the Spurs, he'll be saying something.

Lakers roster is simply horrible. Kwame freaking Brown!
 
Wonder if Ginobili colliding with Varejo would cause somesort of flopper's nuclear reaction.

The arena would probably explode in a blast wave of flopping bodies all over the place.
 
man, i wish lebron and kobe would team up

those maloof bros or mark cuban need to buy out their contracts or something

it would make the nba fun again

Hmmmm All u spurs fans seem to forget that the spurs have yet to beat the cavs this year


1st game was the 2nd game of the season after beating Dallas in Dallas.

2nd was the night the old ball came back.

I'll give you the bit about the first two rounds, but lets not start acting like the Pistons have been some old and incapable team, now that the Cavs beat them.
 
Gibson's blog:

But another guard, Damon Jones, has really been great, too. Our relationship is basketball, but he keeps me relaxed. When I’m out there on the floor, he tells me what I’m doing right and wrong.

Of all people to say what's right and wrong...

No seriously, this pistons team didn't really care. The Pistons should absolutely destroy the Cavs with the talent they have.

Dunno about that anymore...They showed in the Chi series that they didn't need Ben Wallace to beat the bulls...

They could've used him now though...

Whose going to stop Timmy?

yah duncun is a beast defensively.. the cavs haven't faced anyone remotely like him yet in the playoffs. No way Lebron is going to the hole that easily any more :)
 
What's more hardcore than being a Spurs fan since 1990(8 years old) living in a country where you only find Lakers and Bulls cocksuckers? Nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I just have an eye for greatness and it wasn't necessary to jump on any bandwagon.

Me = #1 Spurs fan in the world!!! > Jobber, h1nch & Rolio combined
 
Straightballin said:

easy..either they won't or they'll double team ala Jazz. With giving doubles with different players, it can hurt Tim. I've seen it happen all season. The only time doubles didn't work was vs. the Pacers

Suffering through the Jail Blazers, then through the Telfair area, and still stay a die hard fan as much as before? It paid off :)

it was like that here in the 90's

Jordan, Magic, Shaq, or Ewing. If you didn't like their teams, no one gave a shit about you or the team you liked.
 
Without a doubt, the best part of last night's game -- better than watching the emergence of a young superstar (Gibson ;) ), better than watching a young team come together on the big stage -- was Bill freaking Rusell. :lol He totally (and unwittingly) stole the show.


My friends and I were nearly in tears with laughter. I know Bill is, like, 93 years old with a clearly addled mind, and I'm not in the habit of laughing at the elderly, but between the way he looked like a black Santa Claus with that whited beard and hair and the way he stood up there on the mic for what seemed like an eternity not knowing what to say -- and then started acting like a fan, chanting "MVP! MVP!" :lol -- he had me in stitches. Ernie Johnson eventually went behind him and appeared to be feeding him the lines, because Russell was just lost. I was telling my friend that they were going to have to get the big cane to pull him off stage. Russell wasn't about to go quietly into the night. :lol


I don't think he expected Cleveland to win the game -- he was probably furiously scribbling his speech midway through the 4th quarter. Or at least that would explain how discombobulated he was. :D

Russell: "This was just a great game.....a great game. I just want to congratulate.................you all.........on this game. <5 minutes pass with Russ just smiling and nodding> You're now Eastern Conference champions..........of the..........Eastern Conference. This is great, just.....hahaha.....'MVP! MVP!'.......<5 more minutes of giddy laughter and awkward silence from Russ>....well I, uh.....<Ernie pokes him in the ribs and feeds him the lines>....oh yeah, here is your 2007 Eastern Conference Champion trophy. Congratulations."


I can't be the only one who found the whole thing funny. This was dotage at its most hilarious. :D

I'm not a Spurs fan but I do live in San Antonio. In fact, Tim Duncan lives literally about a mile away from me. And the Spurs state of the art practice facility is right down the street -- so close that I've actually contemplated going V for Vendetta on that whole operation. So if you want information on the Spurs, feel free to dial me up. I'm obviously the most knowledgable on the subject, hatred for the team notwithstanding...

As if the roster surrounding LeBron is so much better. :lol

"One day be may be better than Kobe"

LeBron carries his team to the Finals when he's only 22 years old. LeBron at 22 is already on Kobe's level.

Do you have even a basic understanding of how things work in professional sports?
 
The Stealth Fox said:
oh please, have you seen the pistons play this season? bench = deeeeeep

It's true. I made a post halfway through the fourth quarter that showed the Pistons only had 6 bench points.

SIX

Daniel Gibson had more than that after ten minutes of playing time. The Pistons just choked this series away.

Loki, welcome back.

Please, why don't you grace us with a post on what Lebron James will have to accomplish to get anywhere near MJ's level. :D
