Within certain lengths, I can. The whole Brady or Manning argument, or who's defense is better, those I can see. I only bring up "thuggish" attitudes due to the fact that I was so disappointed in JR's behavior last year and it still resonates with me. The guy was a stud in the playoffs, would of had ehis pick of sponsorships, but his ego/behavior simply tainted his performance. For a team coached by a legend in Karl, it just seems like he's letting players coach HIS team.

I don't. I would pick a different team before EVER rooting for a scumbag like Kobe or Phil's bullshit.

Does Phil's bullshit happen to include his 10 rings, best regular season winning percentage or most wins in playoffs history?

I bet this is probably the same thing Yankee fans go through.

not to mention the fact that his shit is made of gold and his bags and bags and bags of quality weed.

Right

You have a player that has done everything to get the hell out of there, and now he says the only reason he's going to stay is because his option is for 17 mil. He said it like that, I'm not paraphrasing. Yeah, Kobe wanted out cause he didn't feel like they were surrounding him with enough talent, but he stuck to his guns till they got Gasol.

Saying you don't want HOF'ers on your roster is saying you don't want to win. And scumbag? Really? What have you done in your life to give you the ability to to use that statement. I am a scumbag, no qualms admitting that I have done things in life that could be considered morally wrong. Kobe put it in her butt, but dumps millions of dollars into charity, donates his time, and surprisingly enough (to those that have watch 90% of his games and a ton of interviews) supports his teammates.

I truly hope Nash wins one, as he's the best PG I've witnessed, but I suppose I'm also not blind and actually pay attention to the NBA.

Sorry Juan, felt the need/

Yankees fans have to defend the lack of salary cap, seeing as their payroll is twice that of any other team in the past decade

NeNe's reverse was dirty

And I've never really ever liked Amar'e and have criticized him for being a self-centered defensively lazy piece of shit. I will not defend him. He is a fucking bum.

Nene should fight every other NBA player

I'm fairly confident he would win

Ok, I'm good with that. You don't support a player that acts like a douche. Stoude has done that for years, so I understand why you don't back him.

Now then, can we broach the Kobe subject?

I get it, you hate the Lakers. It's pretty easy. Juan even remarked that it's easily compared to the Yankees (I again would make the remark on the salary cap issue). What I don't get is this substandard hate. I couldn't stand the Bulls with Jordan, but I'd watch every game cause he was good. Like really, really good.

I was a Laker fan cause I played point, and Magic was sick. I was taught how to pass, how to rotate, how to play d. Jordan was "magic", yet Magic changed the look of that position (see what Lebron does, he's not the next Jordan, he is the next-albeit better-MAGIC). You implied that Kobe was a second-rate citizen, and even called him "scum". This I don't get. The guy goes out there and plays. I know people hate on him cause he tries too hard to be Jordan, or at one point he was a bit of a ball-hog (based a bit on surrounding talent), or even that he was cocky (want to start that arguement? Talk to Lebron supporters that backed him 2 years ago, cause he's an ass nowadays. Or any other given superstar. Not that I blame any of them, but I hope they'll get "it"). Your beef with Kobe is surreal, but when you add Phil it's like a Sci-Fi novel.

In short, while trying to not be a troll, but actually are. Skip can see his team for what it is, which has every opourtunity to go the distance. As do the Suns in fact. The issue is that you attempt to discredit Hall OF Famers. It's somewhat pointless.

Probably should just say:

"Nash had 74 assists last night. Amare was sick in the paint. Pretty happy on double-teaming 24 last night. Bynum has 325 boards, and Gasol laughed at Barbosa. In the end, good game. Kobe pulled up for the last jumper, but it's all good. We held him to 78 (so at least we're better than the Knicks lol). A loss is a loss, but maybe we kick Horry in the balls come playoffs."

tl;dr

getting pretty god damn sick of Pau Gasol

Yeah that whole reading thing defeats the purpose of the internet. I mean there's always the alternative in porn.. AM I RITE? Also, had to look up your acronym, which I figure you are not only a troll, but an actual nerd. My pokemon collection is complete.

Another note....

I really like Nene. He may not always get the numbers, but he really is a solid big man in the West. And that actually says something.

dude, seriously. are you on drugs or something?

yes. nxt

sports are serious business

I know its pbp, but...

Birdman who??? Banked it

wtf Chauncey Billups

Not the best quarter.

Lil shocked Dave resorted to "reppin". It's ok, the Suns will eventually move to Knoxville, and find a real fanbase.

you took the shit outside the thread bro. I wouldn't but you did it to yourself.

Shit's over. Another player has a career night against the Lakers and another loss.

It was somewhat relevant/funny in context. I actually root for the cubbies, but I understand the dilemma.

We might lose tonight, so you can get your kicks in.

People gonna really push for Heinrich/trade after this loss.

Grats Skipp

I turned off the game with about 8 mins left in the game.

Might want to tune back. Prolly won't win, but cut the lead

Scratch that-------

Scratch....um... in?

Nah, you can tell in the Lakers' demeanor when they've thrown in the towel. I could tell the game was over 4 mins into the 4th quarter.

Down 9 with 3 and half mins left. They might cut the lead, but the fat lady has sung.

I'm really hurtin over Sasha. I really had high hopes. He's missed 3 3's in a row, and they weren't defended.

Wow... All I can say.

Chauncey is sic

Oh, yeah and JR is deadly. And I'm pretty sure Carmello had about 30 while sitting on the bench.

Ouch

Lakers have lost twice to Cleveland and twice to Denver. Not good.

I love you Juan. :love:

thats good news this decade might start off with something new and fresh

It's not just this decade. Lakers/Celts have more than half the titles.

Don't look past the Spurs

JR Smith should probably never be interviewed again

Missed it...

How bad?

nothing too bad, he's just pretty incoherent

better than Birdman but not by much

His game spoke enough tonight, so an interview accounts for.... well, shit.

I'll be shocked if we don't have a repeat on the WCF
