Rick Bucher

[James210]

Really ?!? This morning on espn he was discussing the lakers chances of 3 peating as the 2 seed. After saying that the lakers are not intimidated by the spurs at all, he went on to say "the lakers should be 3-0 versus the spurs, they got a lucky tip in and the other two times they got blown out " are u fuckin serious ?!

[Giuseppe]

If you didn't believe him you wouldn't be blowin' yer top.

[jag]

Stupid low self-esteem GNSF

[Chachachango]

wtf is wrong with. He's speaking the truth. But Spurs aren't intimidated by lakers either.

[I. Hustle]

Why do I care what Dick Doucher thinks again?

[Kool Bob Love]

Haters gonna hate.

[baseline bum]

LOL, what? The Spurs beat LA by 15 and then 1, and lost by 16. I fail to see how that could ever translate to "should be 0-3".

[leemajors]

I can see why they wouldn't be intimidated, but the 3-0 is silly.

[timtonymanu]

I don't care if he thinks the lakers are better. but if he's gonna bring up stats, he needs to know that we beat them by 15 in December. Do some research, Bucher.

[alchemist]

:lmao

good ol' rick and his Laker slobbing as usual.

[SenorSpur]

That pretty boy surfer doesn't know shit.

[Mel_13]

Bucher is such a reliable source of information.

Who can forget the summer of 2007 when he boldly predicted that Kobe Bryant would not report to training camp unless the Lakers brought back Jerry West to be GM? Sure enough, West engineered one of the great trades in Laker history just a few months later. Uncanny, that Bucher.

[in2deep]

stupid idiot if he really said that.

Spurs dominated game 1
got "lucky" (:rolleyes) tip in in game 2
and got blown out in game 3

[in2deep]

BTW if that tip in is "lucky" what do you call .4???

[Giuseppe]

BTW if that tip in is "lucky" what do you call .4???

Bupkis. We didn't ring out of it. If you don't win the last game in June, everything afore it is nothing but a means to an end that never happened.

[Horse]

The only thing that should've happened is la should've boxed out Dice hahahaha. What a fucking moron!

[Horse]

Bupkis. We didn't ring out of it. If you don't win the last game in June, everything afore it is nothing but a means to an end that never happened.
I call it rigged our own timekeeper fucked us. And yeah you did'nt win a ring but we would've beat detroit, just like we did the the following year.

[James210]

I'm not MAD at the fact that he said they're not intimidated, the misinformation saying that they've beat us twice is what pissed me off lol

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Rick's still butthurt over "He's Manu Ginobili."

[gospursgojas]

Really ?!? This morning on espn

theres ya problem

[Giuseppe]

I call it rigged our own timekeeper fucked us. And yeah you did'nt win a ring but we would've beat detroit, just like we did the the following year.

That "would've" shit is confirmed by your total lack of Back-2-Back.

Count yer blessings with the 4 you do have.

Just another media whore bending over and taking it in the keister for the team he's supposed to be taking it in the keister for. Nothing to see here.

[Obstructed_View]

Rick lives about a mile from me. He's a Mavericks fan. Don't expect him to know anything about basketball, folks. He's just justifying his existence between reports on Dez Bryant.

[The Gemini Method]

So this is how life is like on the upstairs...

^ Cully with the goods. :toast

[GrandeDavid]

:lol

So true. Spurs fans, who cares what those outside of "Spursdom" think about this team? I understand its annoying hearing inaccurate comments like Bucher's, but just let it go by the wayside. That is pretty sloppy if he said that, though. The Spurs won handily in December, Mr. Bucher. So maybe the Lakers could be 2-1. But in that game in LA, the Spurs also blew a decent late lead, as well.

[DJ Mbenga]

the lucky tip in is a worthy point but the other game wasnt even close.

[The_Worlds_finest]

If my Stinking Lotto numbers matched the drawn numbers Id be a Millionaire!!!!!

[TampaDude]

I call it rigged our own timekeeper fucked us. And yeah you did'nt win a ring but we would've beat detroit, just like we did the the following year.

I don't think we would've beaten the Pistons in 2004.

I don't think ANYONE was beating them that year.

[Chomag]

Could care less what this guy thinks but I guess it's important enough for some to make a thread about it.

[Jimcs50]

WTF cares?

We will find out the answer in a month, so just stop worrying about what others think

[spurs50_]

This clown also said the lakers
let up against the jazz because they knew they couldn't get hca.......whatever makes u sleep better:lol

[dbreiden83080]

Bucher used to like the Spurs when Duncan was in his prime..

[Giuseppe]

I must admit, I feel better and will sleep better tonite, God willing and Golden State don't rise.

[spursince#99]

Lol but we blew them out the first time around...

[Strategic]

He's just another twit on the runaway train. No need to give him a second thought. He's a dime a dozen, just look at ESPN's line up, what a joke.

[Fpoonsie]

:madrun

[Giuseppe]

You guys have always been our plaything, our punching bag if you will. It's as plain as the nose on Manure's face.

Hey, Poonsie.

[spursince#99]

You guys have always been our plaything, our punching bag if you will. It's as plain as the nose on Manure's face.

Hey, Poonsie.Lol dude we've only met yaw twice in the last 10 years in the playoffs so what are you talking about...and we've beat you guys 1 of those times...dude you're sad...BANDWAGON...

[Giuseppe]

I just always thought of you guys as a sturdy stepping stone to the 3 Back-2-Backs during this brand new Century.

[spursince#99]

I just always thought of you guys as a sturdy stepping stone to the 3 Back-2-Backs during this brand new Century.yeah i bet...but what unexpected team stopped the 4-peat??? don't worry...I'LL WAIT...

Preachin' lol

:lol

Being the supposed surfer enthusiast, I thought he lived in San Francisco.

[Giuseppe]

"Frau Bucher............winnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Trill Clinton]

Why you mad tho?

[crc21209]

:lol At anyone paying attention to any of the BSPN asses....

[crc21209]

the lucky tip in is a worthy point but the other game wasnt even close.

Maybe, maybe not. The Spurs lead throughout the 2nd half and were up about 7 points midway through the 4th, so if they would've lost that game, it would've been because they choked it...

[Bito Corleone]

Cully, so this is where you have to come to effectively troll now? I also saw you actually talking some ball in here...losing your touch. Hit me with some of the usual goods

[Obstructed_View]

:lol

It's possible that I have him mixed up with someone else. I'm less sure now of the accuracy of my statement than I was when I posted that. :lol

[Giuseppe]

Solly Cholly. No can do. I'm forbidden.

[SenorSpur]

Looks like a couple of our brethren, in the Spurs fan fraternity, have publically called out Ric Bucher for his recent, inaccurate and nonsensical on-air bullshit, in a recent chat on ESPN SportsNation online. Of course, Euro Ric didn't seem to make it a big deal that his facts were ALL wrong.

Ken (Bay Area, CA)

Hey Ric Bucher, I just watched you on Sportscenter this morining as I respect your opinion about Lakers team to beat. I'm a Spurs fan so atleast get your facts straight you said the lakers are up 2-1 in season series and you said Lakers killed Spurs twice but actually Spurs are up 2-1 and blew the Lakers out in first San Antonio game!!! Thanks for ruining my morning with false info. GO SPURS!

Tommy (Jacksonville, FL)

On sportscenter 4/6 you were saying that the only time the Spurs beat the lakers was a last minute tip in, otherwise there have been blowout wins by the lakers. Make sure you have your history straight before talking on TV, the spurs are 2-1 vs the lakers this year with on of the wins being a spurs blowout.


Ric Bucher (1:12 PM)

Apologies. I did my own research on that one, quickly, before I went on and screwed up. Served as a reminder to double-check my stuff with the real researchers before I go on. Glad you guys are paying attention. Now, onward...

[cherylsteele]

Who the hell cares what some analyst says, they don't determine the outcome of anything, the play on the court does of course.

They say things like that to get you to watch so I guess ESPN; FOX, etc are successful in that regard. It is all about ratings.

[Giuseppe]

+ you guys closed down The Forum that time.:lol

[TVI]

If you didn't believe him you wouldn't be blowin' yer top.

Other than the simple fact that it's absolutely wrong. The Spurs spanked LA in the first game this season.

[MannyIsGod]

Stupid low self-esteem GNSF

Unless he plays for the Spurs how does self esteem factor in here?
