    I don't really see the back-hand compliment here, except he called Jose and Chris role players.

    He didn't call Jose and Bosh role players. He called everyone else role players and basically threw in the disclaimer to not be disrespectful to the other players by saying they're on a lower level from these guys.

    Whatever, he's pissed they lost. Like Bas, I could care less about what he says.

    Skiles usually sounds like a dick, but I don't see what Ganter wants us to see.

    Me neither.

    You mean, Moon, Graham and Hump aren't scrubs? The shock, the horror.

    and they're NOT as good as Bosh, Claderon and O'Neal?!?!? who'd have thunk that?

    oh wait, anyone who follows the game of basketball.

    another instance of a media writer trying to create an incident where there isn't one.

    ^ Well the writers don't write the headlines, usually the editors do, but either way the article doesn't resonate.
