40MOH would go ballistic if ESPN stole their though. They are quoted frequently on that site already. It would be way too apparent.
Thats just too damn blatant for it to be coincidence. LJ does put together the most detailed Spurs reviews and previews on the net. 48MOH is up there too, but I prefer to read it here as I often forget to check my RSS feed.
I don't think anything could be considered plagerism since its all just open material and information. Its just shady as and a thing to do.

The guy obviously didn't know anything about the Spurs series, so he cheated. What's funny is if he would have just asked, then we would have said sure...just add your own commentary and link back to SpursTalk, giving timvp credit.
But since, he had to do it on the sly and think no one would be the wiser...
...well, there are usually repercussions for such things.
TL;DR mad props to Timvp. off espn. Spurs have this in the bag, I cant wait for ass griffen to try and do "the stare"
Absolutely it's still plagiarism. You can't take someone else's opinions and thoughts, slightly reword them and try to pass them off as your own.
An old lady who is terrified of the dentist finally has to get some work done. She sits down, and as the dentist leans over her, she reaches out and grabs him by the balls, and says, "Okay... we're not going to hurt each other, are we?"
Somehow I don't think there is any worry about ESPN this time. Especially since posting "their" material is really just re-posting Timvp's material.
I pay for insider for rumors and fantasy sports stuff. Also ESPN Mag. I rarely read the articles.

Can't you though? Because I see that all over the internet in so many ways. I thought that if it wasn't some original idea - and I don't think news reporting counts in that manner - then it wasn't plagerism?
He coached the Boston Celtics in 2004?
I want to see where this goes..
I think that you'd have to draw the line on whether it's "news reporting" .. timvp wasn't saying "the score was 86-84"... he was going his analysis/opinions of the players/matchups. Anyway, it's not like it's going to be a heavy lawsuit.
I just find the whole thing hilarious, and would LOVE to hear the guy's explanation.
Hi I updated the original post with links to TimVPs threads...what esle should I do???
Can I get my user name unsilvered?
Retweeted to my 11 followers. Time for ESPN to bow before my social media empire!
Seriously though, this is some ing bull .
It is plagiarism. Especially since he is getting paid for it.
Eh.. I don't have much of a problem with that. It's better than the horse they normally churn out.. This is one of those rare instances where the Spurs are portrayed correctly by media outside of San Antonio.
The ethics of the situation is ty though.
Anyone remember Jason Blair? Espinoza purports to be the new York times of sports. Evidently journalistic fraud falls into their model.
Oh, the irony.
Thats probably a fair line to draw. Opinion and analysis isn't really news.
Its always funny when the internet catches people in the act like this.
No, you can't.
If it's clear that you're reading another article and simply paraphrasing it and you don't give credit to the original source, it's plagiarism.
Plagiarism isn't just limited to copy/pasting exact quotes/sentences/paragraphs without properly sourcing the information. Paraphrasing large quan ies of text without giving credit is also plagiarism.
