Re: NBA thread

^^^^ of course I know you are a Suns fan but living in NYC are you at all a Knicks fan? Back in the Ewing, Oakley, Mark Jackson, Mason and Starks days? Myself, I can't f*cking stand the Knicks or anything associated with them. The only players that have been in that organization that I like or have liked are Alan Houston and Steve Frances. I know he is a prick and hard to play with but I love how hard he competes and when he is on, he is almost unstoppable. Frances, IMO is just one of those guys who is fun to watch.

Re: NBA thread

i never liked the knicks, my sister is an amazing basketball player, she played shooting guard for boston college. and when we were young she was a knicks fan. i upon seeing barkley and marleje, became a suns fan. i admire those old knicks, especially charles oakley and starks, as they might be the two toughest players i have ever seen, but i never was a fan.

Re: NBA thread

dont forget that larry johnson slid in on that team. they were a nasty front court when it ewing mason and LJ together.

but steve nash is god. he is doing things that only jordan did. the big 3 names all have simliar numbers to him, but they beat him in rebounds, but he ices them in assists and steals.

Re: NBA thread

well, having only 3-4 starters hurts you in the conference finals. ew should rip it up this year if amare gets going. shit we took both conference finals 7 games with 4 starters and last year, with tim thomas and boris diaw at center and small forward.

Re: NBA thread

^^ you know i'm playing..... I'm a big steve nash fan... especially because the boy can skate... but as far as career stats go he's nearly 2 steals per game lower than MJ (actually nash has only averaged 1 steal per game 3 times in his career and last year averaged 0.5), has nearly no blocked shots, is 4 rebounds behind, lags in minutes, is close to 17 points per game etc etc.... he's a better all around shooter and dishes the ball far better but that wasn't really MJ's job now was it?

Re: NBA thread

actually that is a major part of MJ becoming what he was. tenacious defense and the ability to find the open man when he had to. he made kukock, paxon, horace grant, dont forget oakley started there b4 knicks, steve kerr, longley, brent barry, etc.

the only guy who made jordan better on the flip side of things was the arrival of dennis rodman.

Re: NBA thread

One of my favorite plays/dunks ever was when John starks turned baseline and dunked on just about the whole Chicago Bulls teams in the Eastern Conference Finals. I think the main reason I hate the Knicks is that stupid ass mofo that sits on the sidelines talking shit and making himself look like an idiot Spike Lee. God I wish somebody would dive into the stands for a loose ball and just take his ass out!!!!!

Re: NBA thread

maybe when he was younger, but spike is up in age now, an athlete hitting into him might kill him.

Re: NBA thread

how do you feel about the no complaints rule ?
it sux .. its taken the passion away from the game .. what are the players suposse to do??

[BureOne]

Re: NBA thread

Yeah, I dont like it either. They're only human and we ALL have emotions especially in Sports! ...and when a game is on the line or just loving what you do plain and simple.

A player gets a weak foul or may just be mad at themselves, blurt out a reaction and BAM!

weak.

I think the Refs probably complained about all the complaints they get on every call

Re: NBA thread

i hope kobe could dunk over nash, he has about 6-7 inches onthe guy.
