holy shit, its not Jeremy Piven! ITS ARI!
You know, the NBA could cut down on at least half thse ankle injuries if they would stop letting defenders walk under guys on their shot attempts. Call the goddamn foul. You shouldn't be able to move a guy while he's in the air by gently pushing him, and then he lands on your foot. This happens more frequently with post-up guys, but on the perimeter as well.

Bowen had two notable runins with that last year against Ray Allen and Vince Carter. I don't think it's a coincidence, either. If I were to ever come across Bowen down here in SA, I wouldn't hesitate to kick him square in the shins as little rememberance of past fouls committed against players leagues ahead of him.

i was gonna say, how will Bowen make a living if the NBA cuts down on that bitch's bread and butter? :lol Asshole undercut Kobe too earlier this year.

Heh, whatever you say, Babyface Lonestar.
Seriously though, walking underneath a player on shot attempts and hitting a guy in the stomach etc. while he's in the air shooting a J are the two things that piss me off the most. When guys used to do that to me, I'd make it a point to abuse them, whereas I usually have some sympathy for the poor souls.
Oh yeah, and the idiots who think "playing defense" consists of sticking a stiff arm out and holding you as you try to drive past them.

I don't think the Nestorevic injury was an undercut though, he was way inside and there's going to be feet close together there.
One thing a lot of point guards could learn from Steve Nash is that he hardly ever kills his dribble. He always keeps it alive even when he drives baseline, where most guards would leave their feet to force something, he just keeps the dribble going and breaks the defense down. If you are a point and you get a team defense to follow you around, you're going to open it up for somebody. Nash moves through a defense like a stick sifting sand.

Yeah, I know, I was more making a general point because it looked like as Rasho's hook went up, Marion turned to get the rebound and started boxing Nesterovic OUT (as in, moving him) while he was still in the air, which got me thinking along those lines.
Very true. Stockton used to be really good at this too.
WTF @ that whistle....oh, ok, they waved off the basket. I was gonna say, the whistle was like 3 seconds before the jam lol.

Fucking awesome game so far. I'm pissed about Rasho, but my god its been fun to watch Stoudemire, Ginobili, Duncan, and Nash tear shit up.

CURSE OF THE LAZY EYE!!
You mean the Gift of the Lazy Eye! Think about it, all players who have a lazy eye are superstars!
Shaq
Nash
T-Mac
Get a lazy eye and you too can average either 25+ pts, 10+ assists and/or 10+ rebounds.

Hey now, Bulls are always my #1. I may live in Dallas, but I wear this:
everyday! Where's yours, beyotch?!
You should be a Mavs fan too. Finley is from Chicago (won a HS contest and played MJ one-on-one) and Stackhouse went to UNC...

Fucking Amare shoves Ginobili in the back, then he takes a charge from Q, both of which are no calls, only for Amare to finish with the tomahawk?? Aren't whistles bad for your digestive system?

A perfectly healthy Steve Nash didn't make a damn bit of difference in the first matchup. With no Horry and now no Rasho, the Spurs have no interior presence other than Duncan. Thats what's making the difference this game. Not to mention the fact that Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen are still on the plane. I will say, I thought it was quite funny how, during the montage of Marion's points during his 3rd quarter spurt, every single bucket they showed was off a perfectly placed feed from Nash.

Lakers holding down the fort.

Yeah you should be real proud to be losing by 4 to a team on a big losing streak whose best player is so banged up he can't even guard who he's supposed to. If the Suns beat the Spurs tonight on Nash's first game back, that's just fucking sorry.
btw, how many times has Stoudemire dunked all over your fucking asses tonight? I thought Duncan wasn't supposed to let that happen. Haha the only way Duncan can stop him is to just grab his arms.
Cloudy said:
Yah lol I was thinking the Suns are too fast for themselves sometimes. C'mon Duncan choke. Wow maybe Brent Barry wasn't a huge bust for the Spurs after all, they should trade him after this game while he has some value.
EDIT: HOLY FUCK MARION RULES.
lol@"did he get it off in time/was he behind the line."
Haha awesome game, almost reminds me of the Suns-Sonics game.
