I was hoping it wasn't just my imagination...Bill Walton and Hubie Brown have been especially annoying to me with their focus on Detroit's failures. Think it might be the team they are up against fellas? These people just don't seem to come around until Spurs basketball is forcibly shoved up their collective asses.

Yes, please talk about what the winning team is doing right, and show some examples.

Were it not for Bill Simmons, I'd hate ESPN more than Manny hates Wal-Mart.

I don't watch wrestling, except for the occasional drive by, but I busted a gut when I read this:


I thought I was the only one who noticed that the Pistons were introduced to Undertaker's music from the mid-90's in the WWF until I received a slew of e-mails about it. But if you're using that music, don't you have to get Jim Ross to announce Detroit's lineup? Starting at the one forward … wait a second … my God, that's Rasheed Wallace! And starting at the other forward … Good God, that's Tayshaun Prince!

Bill Simmons is probobly the funniest sports writer of all time.

Too bad Buck couldnt mix in a gut buster or two once in a while.

Interesting that Simmons thinks the 3rd best player in this series in Horry...

Who, Horry? So you are disagreeing with that statement also?

Its debatable, although I'd have to say Bowen, TP, and then Horry, but that's just me

Well, the sports media must have read this column, because they're certainly focusing more on what the winner of Game 3 did right than what the losers did wrong... Funny how that works out.

Horry is playing at near-allstar level, at least 6th man of the year level

Who the f*k dug his ass up from the grave. ABC Couldn't afford a decent announcer under 50 years old/////////////////// :rolleyes

Well I feel that Hubie has a grudge against the Spurs for beating him in the p/o's (Grizzlies). Walton is SOOOOOOO pro-Laker because of Luke. Walton seems to believe that there was nobody better than the players of his era.

I just wish that somehow,someway,S Elliot and maybe someone like J. Sally were commentators. That would be more unbiased and fun to hear.
