I Want To Apologize ...

[timvp]

... to the Princess for not coming through on the Round Tables. I talked trash like I was going to be the next Stephen A. Smith ... but alas, I only did only a satisfactory job. It's not as easy with those damn cameras pointing right in your face and the lights shining down. I thought I was going to be Stephen Jackson in game six of the Finals, but I turned out to be Hedo Turkoglu versus the Lakers.

I tried. :depressed

Here is the link to see the timvp choke job.

Damn....you made me spit. :lmao

[Spurminator]

I would consider failing to be Stephen A. Smith to be a success.

[Rummpd]

Maybe your expertise leans toward the print/web media? As you do a hellavu job on the grades etc.

Anyway, give em hell the next time - I am sure you were great! : :smokin

[ALVAREZ6]

Off with his Spurs!


:smokin :lol :lol

[Kori Ellis]

timvp was actually good. He's just being modest. Nobody is perfect on these things; this is the third season that I've been doing them on and off and I still mess up.

He does join forces with Peter Burns to gang up on me, but I end up with revenge on Pete at the end. ;)

[timvp]

Man, I've never seen myself on camera. I don't want to watch this.

But the Princess is making me.

:shootme

You did fine for the first time timvp. If you want advice, here's my suggestion:

Next time don't "lean back" when making your comments/arguments. Put your arms on the desk and use your hands some as you talk. Also try not to look downward while you're talking. If nothing else, these things will project that you have more confidence in what you're saying and give the viewer more reason to listen to your argument/opinion.

Not saying your viewpoints were wrong. Just offering advice on presenting those viewpoints with more authority.

I'm sure you'll get better as you go. Props for doing it!


PS...if you don't believe me, just watch Jason. The guy REALLY projects confidence visually and with his manner of speaking and it tends to make you think, "wow, this guy really knows his stuff." But when you dig deep into what he's saying, you find you're able to pick apart his logic and arguments often. And you'll find that his homerism prevents him from making accurate assessments of other teams more often than not. He does a really great job of presentation, though. :blah He's getting better at stifling the homerism, but Rob is still way ahead in objectivity. They are absolutely hilarious together, though, and are by far the best thing we have going locally. Very entertaining.

[Kori Ellis]

Check out the second video...

Jason makes a funny mistake ... repeatedly.

[Ignite]

Wow, The Princess, Peter Burns and Timvmp in a three-way. thats hot!

[Solid D]

Nice job to all. Fairly entertaining banter. I liked the mix of personalities and there wasn't as much talking over each other (cannot be avoided completely) as in a couple of the others I've seen.

[PM5K]

Quote of the year:

Didn't Bob Sura have a couple of triple doubles last year?

"He played for the Hawks"

I laughed my ass off when he said that...

Other than that I don't know where to start with all the crap I heard...

But how can you call a guy averaging seven assists a game a ball hog?

[Ignite]

What mistakes did Thompson make? On there radio show they mess up names all the time, its like their Schtick.

[PM5K]

He kept saying Steve Christie....

[boutons]

I liked the Special F/X best. The underlining and boldfacing on the pages with the numbers was really well done.

[Ignite]

lol, i wasnt paying attention. What happens is I watch it and zone out and start watching TV. I'll see it again and hear what Alzheimers Thompson says.

[Solid D]

On the second one, Thompson didn't ask LJ's take on most improved player, so Kori started to ask him but it was too late. :) Oh well...

There are several in Seattle who are much-improved, year over year. In fact, their top 7 rotation are playing like they had new CPUs and memory installed over the summer. (Allen, Lewis, Radmanovic, Ridenour, Evans, Daniels and Fortson)

[SequSpur]

Timvp was right on.

Kori, you trade Rasho for anything right now, just to get his next few years off the payroll so the Spurs can move on.

Next.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I would consider failing to be Stephen A. Smith to be a success.


I'd agree with that!


It was good ElJay. Give yourself a Kluby brother!

[Solid D]

Did somebody say...KLUBY? :)

I disagree, I thought Kori had the best takes of anyone on the show and pretty much ruled ass. She also was the only one who seemed rational...Good luck to the men on that show finding their balls again, because Sheila pretty much ripped them off with her takes,, and made the guys look like they need emotional counseling.


I agreed with just about everything she said...specifically on the subject of Rasho...I mean, trade him for who exactly? At what price? Get a grip...

...and also on the subject of the TWolves being in decline....


The TWolves, while they may pose a danger once in the playoffs...are not even competitive with the lower level playoff teams in the NBA right now...Cassell and Spree are getting older, and they are disgruntled on top of it. I do think they probably will make the playoffs, but it's not a sure bet right now by any stretch...they are dropping games to the Hornets and Bobcats.

[whottt]

And as for TimVP's presentation , his presentation seemed fine to me, especially for someone who was doing it for their first time. At worst he just seemed more laid back than anyone else...But his wife schooled him on basketball takes, my advice is to concentrate on that area more.

[T Park]

more laid back

if TIMVP was anymore laid back, hed be in a coma.

[SequSpur]

I agree with timvp. Rasho is the center of all the problems. To many players have to make up for the weakness of the center position.

But he played well tonight, I bet next game, he will be Casper.

[T Park]

and youll be the first one to make a dumbass post.

[SequSpur]

And you'll be the first tailgater to show up....

Beyitch.

[PeterBurns]

When Bad people do bad things to bad people, bad things happen

Another Gem.

Kori, at one point in the roundtable, TimVP grabbed my leg....not there is anything wrong with that

[T Park]

No I wont.

I havent said one word about Rasho's performance.

I know because he is inconsistent, he prob might have a bad game tommarow.


Myself? I dont fret over the daily movements of Rasho Nesterovic.

Hes a 28 minute 8 rebound 6 point a game center.


That simple.

No one else is coming that is better, hes gonna be here another 4 years.



So the Rasho threads, trade him, bench him, whatever, are just that, wastes of time.


Spurs are 30-8

6 games up on Allas.

2 back of PHoenix.


Life is good, enjoy the game, and dont sweat the small stuff.

[samikeyp]

Don't apologize for shit, LJ. You did great, as did my peripatetic brotha from anotha motha, PB.

[Kori Ellis]

I liked the mix of personalities and there wasn't as much talking over each other (cannot be avoided completely) as in a couple of the others I've seen.

The "talking over each other" in many of the other Round Tables is something that we were sort of asked to do this season. Last year we were always very polite and took turns talking. This season they wanted us to interrupt and cut each other off, to make it more argumentative I guess.

I agree that this week was a good combo of people. But that will be changing week to week as I will be trying to include at least one Spurs fan from this forum each week for the rest of the season, plus mix up the other panelists a bit. (Except me of course :) )

[samikeyp]

I had a problem "waiting for my turn" as well on one of the last two I did....Cyber Bob came up to me between tapings...."Its ok to jump in" I said "i'm trying to be polite" he said.."Don't!" :)

[ShoogarBear]

You did fine, timvp.

Nothing wrong with the laid-back approach, it was a good contrast.

In fact, maybe you should play-up the laid-back part: smoke a little reefer, drop a few "irie"'s.

And when you disagree with Kori on a point, call her "crazy wooo-man".
