    I am down with refs giving T's for complaining. I'm sick of that shit. Players need to play and quit trying to metagame the god damned refs.

    And refs need to quit not-calling the harden flops.

    I always wondered why more retired players didn't go into careers as refs. Brandon Roy could ref. Just an example. They know the game and it keeps them in the field post playing career. I don't think you'd get so many ticky tac calls.

    Haywoode Workman is a former NBA player... he calls a ton of ticky-tack fouls, it seems.

    I've never heard of him as a player. Maybe he chose his career with revenge in mind?

    Now see this is just a great play right here, okay? Watch as he passes the ball, and makes the shot.

    Hubie can't shut up, Mark Jackson is trying to preach like Jessie Jackson only he doesn't have the oratory skills. A lot of these guys drive me nuts. Magic Johnson was horrible and as much as I loved him as a Blazer, Walton was one of my least favorite color guys. Every guy who dunked a ball was going to be a hall of famer to Bill...throw it down big guy! Then talk about the Grateful Dead or Dylan...makes me appreciate Marv Allen and Steve Kerr..my favorites

    At least Jackson forms coherent sentences. Hubie Browns entertainment value would be very high if he weren't so obnoxious.

    I'll take Jackson over Hubie any day.

    And when you look at Boris Diaw and what he’s done to this franchise he’s changed everything. We celebrate his brilliance and when you talk to Boris Diaw you realize what a classical human being he is. It was 201 years ago today, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 in E Flat, which escorted in the age of Romanticism in music. And when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the Romantics. This guy has it all.

    He was the starting PG on the 1993 Pacers team that went to ECF. Adding him midseason is what turned them around from a 16-23 start.

    Bahahaha Anthony Davis beats OKC at the buzzer with a triple, ruining Westbrook's career high 48 point game and dropping the Thunder back to .500

    He was a pacer! You can't remember how he defended? I actually liked him in the early to mid 90's
