Re: 1st Round PHX vs. Spurs

off the ball fouls need to be called rule wise like a Tech, anybody on the floor can shoot it and ball... I hate Shaq and normally respect San Ant and there coach.... but that is just cheap and not basketball...

We talk about our window shutting.... San Ant is really a team who's window is shutting, that is a 3 man team and if one part isn't working like ginobli not playing well last night..... Two players scored 60 of the 92 points and nobody else scored more the 8. Outside of the big 3 who cares you? Big shot bob was old when he beat us 3 years ago and there older yet now.... me think New Orleans is going to run them out of the gym.

Re: 1st Round PHX vs. Spurs

One can only hope.


I'm tired of Flopnobli. Tired of Horry. Tired of Frenchie and his chickie on the sidelines. Tired of Duncan and his Theo Huxtable 'tude. Tired of Bowen Scissorhands and hearing about his "defense". Tired of Popovich and his Bill Murray pock marks.


I'm tired of the Spurs.

Still, there should be some penalty for someone making $20 million who can't hit more free throws than he misses.
There is a penalty. His team goes home early. His team should penalize him for not helping them get through the round. A thousand free throws every day during the off season seems like a decent fine. By next year he would be able to shoot them in his sleep.

Shaq bricking his FTs obviously hurt Phoenix last night, but WTF was up with them committing 4 turnovers in the last 90 seconds?! That was crazy!

Re: 1st Round PHX vs. Spurs

I love how they have a $20M player who isn't allowed to touch the ball in crunch time. Worst trade ever. If you don't see it now, let's talk in 2010.

At least Chicago didn't give up anything other than cap space for Ben.

Maybe to compensate for Rasheed's unwillingness to play on the blocks, players taller than 6'8" who wear an even jersey number should be forbidden to take more than 6 shots inside the arc every game. There could be a technical foul to help matters, even.

Steve Kerr should take the blame for Suns collapse by trading for Shaq when d'antoni's system couldn't adapt to it. After all Kerr traded for Shaq to beat the Spurs in a potential conference final and could notbeat them in the first round. At 36 years old Shaq was a role player at best and yeah the Suns needed some defense, but they lost something without marion...oh yeah the series.

Shaq would have been better coming off some contender bench that already had another big man in the middle

Shaq's FT technique (?) makes Ben's look like Chauncey's. All these years playing ball and he looks like he's getting progressively worse. Apparently Kerr forgot that part of Shaq's game to do the trade...worst trade EVER.
