wassup with nellie now?

yes, yes they do. you know, i am thinkin knute needs to just jump on the spurs bandwagon now, then when they win again, he can claim he was there the whole way....




and nellie, overrated.

Nah, dawg....I'member when Nellie was in Milwuakee back in the day with the fish ties...the only serious player he had was Sidney Moncrief...all he had after that was Paul Mokeski, an old as hell Bob Lanier and Alton Lister.


He had those fools in the playoffs and contending for titles every year...even when Boston and Philly wewe the teames to beat. If you can do it with THAT crew...at that time...then you can coach.

before my time.

i didn't get into basketball til 89.
and even then it was pretty much just spurs only, took bout 2 years to become a huge fan

Yeah I figured you weren't around back in the day...

Advice: take some time and check out Ball from back in the day; at least '81-82 thru.

Once you get past the short shorts and shit, the Ball is fierce. At my age, the best era of Ball was 80 thru prolly '87-'88.

Ball was definitely better before Jordan. He may have been the greatest player of all time but, he ruined the game....

at the ripe old age of 26, i think managing to see the nba at all before jordon came into his own is no small feat. i actually remember watching the pistons win (my father is from michigan, so only other team i watched besides the spurs for the most part) i watched bird play, i watched magic, and many other. i remember jordon makin it into the playoffs to just be sent home packing.

hell, almost 20 years...... but i do watch some older games on espn classic time to time, just to watch the celts, or showtime lakers, or the bad boys.



and thank god the spurs don;t suck balls like golden state....

Yeah, I loved watching the Celtics back in the day too.

-Joe Mama.

SOM likes B ball too...

B Ball is for imperialist amarikans!

it's how they dominate time!!!

I thought this was about the classic film, so I was all set to verbally abuse Bastie and anyone who agreed with him. But it's not, so I'm not. Carry on.

Warriors....come out and Play-ee-aaaaay!!!


CAN YOU DIG IT??????!!!!!!!!

Much respect.

Appreciated.

there, keepin you guys on topic

Appreciated.

who you followin bastie?

suns/spurs/celts are all lookin goodd so far.
i am still expecting a spurs celts finals.

i hate you both. warriors are on the comeback. i hope tim duncan gets cancer...

he really isnt...

oh and i dont even know who bastie likes but someone needs to tell him that the old fart that the ABA doesnt exist anymore...

don;t either of you get me wrong, nellie used to be a damn good coach. used to be is the key word.






he was asking where he could get some tickets for the a squires game a few weeks ago....

I tend not to follow to the NBA til around February...too many games, too boring. I pay attention to Cleveland of course and The Celts are on my radar...K.G. has been one of my faves for years. Other than that, meh til sometime after the all star break...

Harsh, player...couldn't you just wish herpes on the man?

Both of you young fuckers can get dese nuts....

Young whippersnappers don't knnow nuthin' 'bout no basketball...I 'member when George Gervin was killin' them with the finger roll for the Spurs and when the Warriors drafted Joe Barry Carroll...THE Bastard wanders off, muttering about the shorter 3 point line, the damn shorts are too long and how nobody can hit the 16 foot jumper anymore...

when i lived in san antonio i watched most every game. usually beat what else was on. plus, the true sign of a dynasty nowadays, like the bulls a few years back, teams bring their shit when they play the spurs.




it'll take both those to get the warriors better than the spurs. hell, it'll take about 7 other players in the conference to help the warriors any....




so.... you're a spirits of st. louis fan then?

and i caught the end of the short shorts, an it is not missed.


warriors suck!

plus, celts lost again, t the cavs, bastie.

but so did the spurs n suns, so they are still a half game up on them. granted, they are in the east. so thats like being 9-4 in the west.

Besides his blood pressure?

heh. but seriously please dont come in here and start pulling for anyones team. We all saw what you did for boston...

It's because it's

(PS: I have to admit, when it looked like Boston was going to lock up a playoff spot this past year, a group of us - those of us who had to do penance for 2006 - took a trip up to Woburn and rendered Oakley a non-factor for the rest of the season.

high five!

by the way since that 0-6 start theyve now gone 8-1.

that's aweshome, incredible........it's one game above .500....don;t get too excited yet k nute.


and i like the new celts uniforms, but... for some reason i wish they had kept the classic green n white.

you clearly have no idea what it means to be a warriors fan...

i'm sorry, i got 4 championship trophies in the way. could you say that again?

Harsh...

But funny.

I approve.

not sure if u saw the game tonight tim, but man that was a great game the spurs proved to be champions just for the way they kept answering back everytime the warriors scored a few buckets. I am damn proud of how my boys played though...

missed it.... wish i hadn't now.


been kinda rough to follow all their games livin 6 hours away, even harder since i am so close to dallas. when they are on and i am off it is rare. so if this was on national tv and i missed it, i will not be happy. that said


spurs have really gotten bogged down with the 3 getting injured off n on, but better they lose early and stay fairly healthy in the long run. and stephen jackson always has been damn good. i don't know where he started, but round the '99 championship run, or maybe it was the the '03, he was on the team..... can;t say i was sad to see him go (all the trouble he has been in) but he wasn't easy to replace

yeah he was there for the 03 run ( i remember cause i was cheering for u guys when u beat the lakers) hes been nothing but great for us since the trade from indiana. Tim Ducan once called him the ultimate teamate...

he is good, just.... not the best fit for the spurs. now grant hill... man, that hurt to see him go to the suns

doing good so far. were gonna need to win 50 games just to make the playoffs this year. too much talent in the west...

iono how it's gonna wind up, as far as seeding goes (though i am very suprised in the mid level talent in the west this year) but my ultimate guesses are still true.... i still thik spurs phoenix celts are the best lookin in the long run, though detroit is trying to force me to think bout them too

i would love to see a warriors/suns playoff series. we play the same style and it would just be cool to see every game in the 120-130 range...

iono if you would really wanna see that, the suns are no dallas...

no but we beat them both the same...were like 5-1 against em the last two years...


last year when we still werent sure if we'd be playing dallas or suns, i wasnt worried cause i knew we got the personel to match with both...

AND Austin Croshere!

yeah cant forget the little white guy...

dallas, yes. the suns .... iono

i know. and thats all that matters...

i think the suns have too much for golden state, but to be fair i haven't followed either too closely. golden state will have to prove to me the hard way that they are lil more than top of the middle. i'll cut them some slack on losing to the wolves........ only cause alot of top teams have been slumping lately.

well i know u dont follow them. why would you? but the bottom line is ive seen my team own the suns the last two years and frustrate the hell outta steve nash (cause he cant guard baron for nothing) Its not smack talk if youve seen it happen time and time again when we play em. Im not saying we would sweep, or hell even win the series. but i guarantee it would be 7 games of scores in the 120's. It would be a great series enjoyed by all...

lost to the t-wolves.... all i am sayin....lol


idonlt think it would go to 7. but i do see every game being over 100, most in the 110's

yet beat the spurs...twice...


and the suns also lost to those twolves...

didn;t they beat a less than complete spurs team?


and yeah, the suns did, why i am backin the spurs to win it!

first time yes. second time no...

youve taken too long to reply...I win!

say what you want, but the spurs still won 4 games. and upon rewatcing, say what you want, but that was 50% flop (knocked down, sure, hard, yes, delayed reaction from nash, def and the suspension on horry was deserved to be sure, cause i don;t condone it). and the suns still had a shot with them suspended, one that i felt if it had never happened, they would have played flat coming out of a tight game and losing.

cause u know tim, losing to memphis is sooo much better...

i have no idea what your talkin about. neither does charlotte

im sure...

well for now, let our hatred of the mavs keep us at peace...

agreed. the mavericks do suck. and how.

FUCK Mark Cuban!!!

and his bitch dirk!

especially that bitch...

in the ass!


and every last one of them twats. except avery.

yeah. ive always loved avery. hes an excellent coach.

dampier on the other hand...well that bastard can burn in hell...

he was an average player, but an awesome leader



dampier... yeah....

i hated him with us. and i just hated him more when he went to dallas...

well, they make themselves easy to hate, what with their playing well all year and then choking hard every playoffs

especially last year...heh. 67 wins my ass!!!

last year was bad, but not worse than losing 4 straight in their first finals after being up 2 games and already talks of the parade prep on the news (man i was pissed when they did that.... but it was glorious when they lost)

well last year was my favorite (and the favorite of any bay area person) for obvious reasons...

well utah isn;t so hot this year, so maybe they won;t get smacked back into reality til the western finals this yea, lol

lol. i could argue that that series was this close to going seven (believe it or not) but the truth is we need a big man before we can really go that far...

no, they need a good big man.


someone to shore up the middle, rebound, and open up looks for baron and jackson (not unlike tim does for manu n tony) and they would do a lot better

my ultimate dream would be for us to get dwight howard from orlando...(sigh) if only...

if orlando was foolish enough to let him go. nor like gs could afford him. aside from tim, he's the best big man in the league.

yes bpt. hence the dream ...man ur just hating on all my stuff today...

gotta keep ya in reality.

else i could ponder the 2nd generation of the "twin towers"

wheres the fun in that...?

well then think..... orlando's lack of ability to keep a good big man, tim's contract will end in 5 years n prolly retire while howard is still in his prime..... extra money.....and san antonio's ability to keep players happy and win championships

see? its nice to dream isnt it?

nah, not really. that would just be a dissapointment, specially since he will be locked down long term by someone by then. a team with smarts. hell, if lebron was smarter, he'd take a good pay cut just to get him on the cavs

now that would be dangerous...

to be honest, i have seen it a few times in san antonio, but very rarelyelsewhere

am i the only one who dislikes the black n green boston uniforms?


it just looks wierd. the green looks off.

all star starters huh?
\
no real suprises, other than 2 were from denver

dont know if u saw the game tonight tim but it was exactly what ive been saying. A (pre shaq) suns/warriors 7 game series would be rediculous...

nope, i work second shift, what i did see was that manu ginobili outscored lebron tonight.

yeah 8 3-pointers is insane...

they will win, he will get his finals mvp, and then all 3 will have one, and they can finaly end the dum dynasty or not debate

ill hold u to that...

better chance of that than the warriors winning one. besides, manu should have had the mvp in 05. i'll admit it will be harder, but good. no arguements about dynasty this year.

there was no arguement there...

well, with tony hurt..... they might sas well as coast, keep a decent record, keep n shape, n try to turn it for the postseason.

superman dunk.....awesome...

fuckin mavs i just don;t like them. though i like kidd alright.

phoenix, dumb move, even if marion was a whiney pussy.

lakers. now they just pissed me off. stoopid memphis. i don;t care who asks, make do more than buy you lunch if they are talkin the best player on your damn team. fuck.

fuck'm, go spurs go

I lost interest in the NBA when the Spurs started winning championships. They are such a boring ass team. I definitely will pull for the Mavs Lakers and Suns.

after the last few years being a yankee fan i am suprised. i figured you might wanna root for a team that might actually win, or at least not get scared n trade their future for one shot. (cept the stoopid fuckin lakers, damn memphis)

besides.you obviously haven't watched the spurs the last 2 years or so when they could win against detroit in a defensive game, or flat out run with the run n gun teams like gs dallas n phoenix.

I'm not tying to be mean. I just don't find the team appealing. I mean I hate the Red Sox but I can see why people go crazy for Beckett Manny and Big Papi......the Spurs put me to sleep.

i didn't think you were. givin me shit, yes. mean, no.

i grew up in s.a. lived there for 20 years or so. i'd root for them if they were piss poor. i have. the spurs were (this year has been rough) capable of playing any type of game and winning. last year was an exciting year to watch them play.

before tonight the celtics were 16-0 against the west. before tonight...

I stand corrected. aparently they lost the night before...


(still baron davis 4tw!)

baron davis is great when he isn;t disrupting a whole teams chemisty

cause hes really been doing that since hes been here...


x' BPT's ability to come up with better material...


by the way nice pickup of thomas. i think you'll miss barrys 3 pointers though...

not saying he has, just saying with volatile stephen jackson there, don nelson is doing a good job of keeping egos in check. you and i both know it.


they did need another big man, well, better than elson anyway, and if they do waive barry, spurs could always pick him back up.

udoku has been fillin barry's shoes nicely anyway, so even if not, he'll be missed, but not as much as a good big man would be in the playoffs. specially with shaq, gasol, and ming.

true.


and the spurs didnt waive barry. they traded him...

Yet the Spurs haven't beaten the Mavs in a playoff series in five years, and their regular season record against them during that span is 7-10. The last five Aprils (i.e the stretch run when the Spurs are usually at their best) they're 0-4 against Big D.

Not exactly dominance.

San Antonio's starting lineup's average age is 32. No smack talking here: If the dynasty hasn't ended already, it likely will soon. I say it with great disdain, but assuming a(n eventually) healthy Andrew Bynum, the Lakers are more than capable of dethroning them. A 2-5 of Kobe, Odom, Pau and Bynum is pretty damn good. Plus Derek Fisher is acting like a genuine NBA player again, out of the blue.

One must also take the Celtics at least a little seriously, Eastern Conference or not.

the return of the mavs fan...

whats ur take on the jason kidd trade ani?

yeah, but i checkin up on it, he is expected to be waived.... what i meant by that

if i remember the only series they had in the last 5 years was horribly officiated. and then the spurs still should have won it. they didn;t. so while true, your statement is also very misleading. in those same 5 years how many times did s.a. eliminate the team that beat big D. or the team that beat the team that beat D.

san antonio is an aging team.... luckily duncan is the only important older peice. manu n parker are young, and duncan is still one of if not the best pf in the league. spurs have shown the knack to reload. if you had claimed dallas might dethrone them i would have laughed. but the lakers, yes.... why i cussed memphis and l.a. give away your best player, a all nba player to a pretty good team for what? a free meal? fuckin memphis.

this year is a greta year for the nba, fans, maybe not a spurs fan... but a good year, so many real threats. and good. if the spurs win, then better to be cream of this crop than puttin the whuppin on everyone last playoffs minus suns.

fixed it for you

you forgot detroit

i haven't really paid attention.... is post trade clev and better than pre trade?

i think so. but theyre not better than detroit, boston or even orlando in my mind...

ah well. looks like jay z is already courting lebron to the nets anyway.

Rockets won 17 straight.

im just happy it was dallas they put a whopin' on...

they have, the last 5 without yao ming. the good thing is that it's put the spurs 11 straight in the shadows and people are noticing them as much.

and fuck the mavs!

nobody ever notices them. They are the most un-appealing "Great" team in the history of Sports. They are a Dynasty and besides their fans no one cares. I wonder why that is? Small Market or just that most of the stars are quite guys.

their streak is over anyway. denver put a good beatin on them. didn;t watch it, just the scorebox.

why they aren't more appealing or noticed is for the same reasons you mentioned there, and before. small market, quiet stars, quiet team, quite coach combined with a type of play that while very effective isn;t the most fun to watch to most fans.

granted i am happy the are winning, and they do get some recognition, would be nice if they got more. less they win again this year i don;t see it happening.

hardly any of the stars do endorsements either. Duncan did shaving cream the first year he was playing and that was because it was with Robinson as the star. Now none of these guys have endorsement deals.

At least not in America. Doesn't/hasn't Parker done stuff in France?

the Los Spurs got their Los asses kicked today by the Los Shaq.

big cactus 4tw!!!

i watched that game until midway thru the 4th. they were winning too. secure in the win i went to a shooting range....


and noche latina, fuck that shit

the warriors didn;t make the playoffs...... you should have jumped on the spurs bandwagon knurkel.

yeah. sucks. any other year and were in with 49 wins. and we for damn sure wouldnt be the 8th seed. just had to be the year that everybody in the west was great. pulling for phoenix in the playoffs (like always). GO BIG SHAQTUS!!!

rex and snarf will lose thier virginity to attractive women first...

going for phoenix? you bastard

but..... that won;t ever happen

and if not them then new orleans cause i love pauls game...

meh, i just hope i am able to watch any of the playoffs. between work and almost completely redoing a house i have no time.

I heard a rumor that Elton Brand can opt out of his contract after this year. (dreams of convincing him to come up north...)


but yeah im sure you'll catch somegames. theyll be on like everynight almost...

your not understanding. i work 5 nights a week, and will be ripping up carpet, or painting or helping the kids with homework, or somesuch. i would actually have to sneak to a friends and take over his tv to catch some games.

luckily he has dvr. i'll have to have him record some, because i won;t have the extra money for awhile to jack with that.

shame too, cause the playoffs this year, west side anyway, looks to be a good one

well then...


BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

well now i have to cheer for the spurs just to beat the lakers! I hope your happy BPT!

I hate the Spurs.....go Lakers. I can't believe those fuckers won again!

You and I actually agree?

Holy shit...prepare for the apocalypse!

I agree with both of you. The world as we know it wil most assuredly cease to exist...or the Sawx will win another World Series.

Well, hell, it's a no-lose situation as far as I'm concerned.

yeah but the Patriots are still cheaters...

The ass-whipping they gave San Diego still hurts, don't it?

Ummm...I'm not a fan. My team is the Bills.

And yeah...they've beaten the shit out of us twice a year for the last 7 years or so.

Which makes it even more surprising thaty they'd film our Defense. it's not like they needed any help in beating it...

Maybe they just wanted a good laugh. There aren't too many good comedies out there these days.

Yeah, well....fuck the Bruins!


it's so shitty that you guys have had such a great run lately. There's nothing I can really say...until Detroit beats the Celtics.

Are you saying that you're looking forward to another "exciting" Spurs/Pistons Finals? Because, if ratings are any indicator, you'd be the only one.

Enjoy the ride. You know you want to.

No...I want the Lakers to beat the Spurs. I've hated ther Celtics ever since the early 80s. I was a 76ers fan back in the day...ya had to hate Boston. Oddly enough, I only liked the Lakers when they played the Celtics.

I guess it would be cool to see Lakers/Cetics...though you guys would be in trouble. Joe Johnson almost beat you, LeBron almost beat you...the Cavs should have won the first game for sure.

If y'all let Bron-Bron score 45....Kobe might go for 60 every night. And Gasol can play Garnett straight up. As much as I like KG...he's been my fav'rit for years...I think Gasol will use the shit out of him.

I'll take Fisher over Rondo. I'll take Odom over Allen...is he even on the playoff roster? Lakers bench is Better than yours.

Assuming both make it to the finals...Lakers in 6.

I'm not disagreeing. I'm just enjoying the ride.

Wow. That was reasonable. And shockingly free of profanity.

Awright...which one of you Yankee fans guessed Joe Mama's password?

Well played.

bsams has taught me well...

after the last round and tonights showing, writing off the spurs is a bit premature. and i am hoping for a celtics/spurs finals myself. i want them to win another title in a year with some damn good teams to finally pin them as a dynasty.

FUCK THE SPURS!! but i hope they win this series...

by the way theres a "war" going on in case you didnt notice. welcome back

i knew you'd come around

you win by default.

i just wish they wouldn't wait til fuckin game 3 to get off their asses

well now they have all season to get off there asses...


ps. they aint no fucking dynasty!
