You guys must never read or listen to Simmons. Not a terrible choice on your part though.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
it's bad enough I have to read some of the post in here... why would I want to listen to a guy get paid to make the same stupid comments?

If e-mail conversions with his friends you don't know with references you don't care about isn't enough for you, then I can't help. Now here's my fantasy team and 5000 words on reality tv.
it's the equivalent of paying to read shadowlark
Woah, its not that bad.

Thanks for the laugh soul, I really needed that.

I think i'm going to go out and get a set for the show.
No problem, man.
:lol It's probably one of the weirdest sports-related things I've seen in a while. Super rampant this season.

Missed the game because I was on a date. Just saw the box score. I don't know how many of those turnovers were forced or stupid plays on our part, but I'm sure Pop will tear the team a new asshole and get that fixed for game 4

Simmons does say a lot of stupid things, but I really enjoyed his book and I think he just saying a lot of shit just to say it.
If you don't read his stuff often you miss out on a lot of obvious jokes or just sarcasm.

Last night proves that a series does not start till someone losses at home... If OKC wins tomorrow then all the pressure turns over to the Spurs. Same with the Miami/Boston series, if Boston wins tonight and sunday then all the Boston doom and gloom will be placed on Miami.
However there is a distinction to be made between the two series. OKC never really had a chance in game 1 or 2.. They weren't heartbreak games so they should have felt good going into game 3.. On the other hand Boston lost a close game 2 were they had control of the game for the most part, that one really hurt and I question how strong they will come out tonight..
I still hold to MIA in 5 and Spurs in 7.. But who knows... If the Spurs can't adjust to the defensive changes made by OKC it will be very interesting.. Playing deny ball on Manu really got the Spurs out of their comfort zone.

Pop knows. If there's anyone who can come out with effective changes, it's Pop.

Well.. He is a great coach, but that doesn't mean whatever adjustment he makes will create other gaps.. Lets not forget what happened last year...

It wasn't as bad as getting swept in the first round last year.
The last time the Spurs took a beating like that, they rolled off a 20 game win streak.

If Heat/Spurs finals does happen, Lebron on TP? If I was a coach I'd do it.
why would Spod put Lebron in the position to have to run/break through 2 or more PNR screens every time TP has the ball? they ran Westbrook ragged in game 2 by doing just that, and it clearly got to him that game.
Lol, yep. Last year was pretty bad, definitely ZBo going off that series.

Lebron going to chase TP around through multiple pnr screens is not a good solution. It'll be like game 2 in my opinion except TP is consistent with his jumpshot.
CherryWoodFuton

Yea it probably wouldn't work ad would just make Lebron super tired. Chalmers might be the only one capable of running through multiple pnrs. Our priority should be shutting Parker out from setting up the offense and also we gotta make sure to close out on their 3pt shooters (not an easy task).

Is that pic of chuck in a purple blouse and short set with a man purse real? If so, he needs to give the clothes bashing a rest.

It's true. Man First Take makes anything seem like taunting saying Harden was taunting the Spurs last night.

I went to sleep early and missed the game....................ouch. And what the fuck was Harden doing? Jax would have murdered that boy.

Wow Skip just said Harden instigated the MWP elbow.
Prototype-03

He's not the first one to say it though. Well, instigated is a strong word here but basically Harden was trying to get to his face and once he got shoved a little, he'd flop his way to an offensive foul. It was even discussed in GAF. He wasn't expecting an elbow to his face though.
The speculation was pretty much solidified when MWP tweeted Harden flop vids.
disclaimer: I'm not saying that what MWP was okay, I'm just letting you know he's not the first one to say it.

Harden was definitely instigating last night though. Surprised Jax didn't really react.

Nah, throwing shit on people usually leads to fights.
MorisUkunRasik

The guy who threw the beer did instigate malice, but bad comparison aside you're right.
Harden was baiting a reaction out of a crazy asshole. It's a good bball strategy that most coaches would applaud if not out right instruct their players to do. What isn't kosher on a ball court is throwing vicious elbows at head level.

ESPN needs to stop with the "Bron is more Magic/Pippen than MJ." How are they so ignorant to how different Pippen and Magic were?
I shudder to think in the future someone may say "Player X is more Deron Williams/ Loul Deng than Kobe."
What the fuck, Bron doesn't have a fraction of the skill or mental strength of Magic. He's quite clearly a more athletic Pippen.
Pippen on roids seems fitting.

So now that Timberlake and Jobber have been brought back down to earth, I'm calling Spurs winning games 4 and 5.

Damn this girl on SportsCenter is fine.
I'd love to take credit for it, but I got a lot of help from my teammates.

We should, we really shouldn't try to skirt throwing beer on an entertainer. Sure Ron is cray, but um......instigate seems like the perfect word to describe what the guy in Detroit did.
How Reggie mind fucked Starks is great and completely acceptable, if a fan threw something at Miller then they're an instigating asshole. You could use "instigate" to describe Miller's trash talk or Harden's antics but it carries a negative connotation which we should avoid because what Harden and Miller did/do is alright when you're playing ball. It's not so acceptable when you're watching two guys play ball.
Go to the park and listen to the trash talk amongst players.....now while you're still watching start trashtalking them and watch as every player on the court looks at you like you better be a fast runner and if that isn't enough throw something at someone.
It's kind of a perfect shitstorm I guess. Ron Artest in a full, angry arena in Detroit.
It's reasonable to expect less of both Detroit and Ron.
