    Lol, no problem. I don't come in here to cause problems, there is to many of you to do that. I'm here to just see what's going on. Like, an out of town cop coming to check in. You don't want to know me, but I'm here.

    Man, I wish you were here maybe 3-4 months ago. I used to be a top guy to stick up for my pals on this board. Got me in a lotta trouble, but we won't get in to that. You can PM me to find out, but I won't discuss it on here.

    Interesting. No fans, no professional sports team. Kinda funny that way.

    I mean, seriously?



    POP IS A BASKETBALL MIND. HE IS PAID TO RUN A BASKETBALL TEAM. HE IS NOT A TICKET SALESMAN, HE IS NOT A PR GUY, HE IS NOT A FACILITY MANAGER. HIS FUCKING JOB IS TO COACH THE BASKETBALL TEAM AND MAKE DECISIONS AS HE SEES FIT. HE'S PROVEN TO BE A DAMN GOOD AT THAT OVER HIS CAREER.



    Oh, and I doubt that Pop's hideous crime towards Portland (resting his players) is going to be a continuous thing unless they are seriously injured, so I wouldn't worry about the entire NBA losing its fanbase over Pop's coaching decisions.


    I wish this was half as difficult as you make it seem.

    It was in Denver, so I think the Denver fans are going to live.

    But you're point is well taken. Back in San Antonio, fans are no doubt lining up to cancel their season tickets over this outrage. Burning jerseys, setting fire to their practice facility. I'm curious to see if the franchise will have to move, maybe Seattle? Trying times.

    The one thing I would point out, is the Spurs backups pushed the Nugz to the brink in that game. That in itself is a statement. Nugz win the series but so what. They did it against a team without its 3 stars. Now when the playoffs come, and if they face off, they cannot even have the solace of winning the series without the thought in the back of their mind, that the series win might have been fools gold.

    That being said, lets not match up with San Antonio in the playoffs this year. Please.

    The funny thing is, and I know I'm late to the game in this...

    Doesn't anyone think it's odd that a team (forget that it's the Spurs, or against our division leader) sits its three stars, none of whom are on the NBA injury list, in a mid-February game? I could understand if Pop didn't want Manu to play, to rest up; or having Duncan sit once it became out-of-hand...but can you guys tell me the last couple of times a team sat three, non-injured all-stars outside of a week away from the playoffs?

    I understand that trying to make posters feel dumb is part and parcel of the board posting process, but does anyone have anything to contribute about the subject at hand?

    Just knowing of this right now... very bizzare. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this happen. Way to mail it in Spurs.

    Really? Yet Darius Miles being claimed by the Blazers and not played "for whatever reason they want to isn't allowed by the NBA? Odd

    More ammo for the Blazers' legal challenge of the NBA not allowing them to claim and sit Darius Miles.

    I get bashed for pointing out how ridiculous the mods are here, and others get repped for riding my coattails.

    I'll take barfo, Ed O., and especially Minstrel over this JE guy any time, however.

    The subject at hand is obvious, and the only reason this thread went south is because moderators from other boards came to flame (by far) the most active board on this site for calling BS when they smelled BS.
