He is good at basketball knowledge no doubt, but to me he plays the role of analyst more than being himself. He uses a lot of psychology talk bs. Reads too much into body language, etc. Hacky cliché type of stuff. Chris acts more like himself, he has a few cliches he picked up during his tenure at turner but I feel he is more genuineQuote:

I mean, how hard is it to put two and two together, and just understand that the Spurs sucked at first because of rust as well? Their logic, as usual, is incredibly inconsistent.
It isn't just Rambis either, it's also Skip Bayless (the cowardly bandwagoner) and I'm sure others who had the same "Heat were just rusty but Spurs just suck" take. I think one of the idiots on Around the Horn did it too. Israel whatshisname I think it was.
I think they were a tad bit rusty, but not at all like the heat were. Spurs Scored 25 in the 1st qtr, 24 in the 2nd, 31 in the 3rd, and 26 in the 4th. Those are great numbers, that's not necessarily rust. Spurs must clamp down hard on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Curry must play like superman every single game in order for the warriors to win.
The 4letter does all of that...ON PURPOSE.
Thats why they suck.
The Spurs best big man was Diaw and Curry played the best game of his life.
The Spurs won
Who cares about the excuses others make. Sometimes I think you people just make these threads to troll, and wish you'd find new material to troll with

If we were a trainwreck full of dipshits, we'd provide lots of stupid narratives for them.Quote:

Everyone talks about how Joseph got torched by Curry, but he was getting beat by Curry and Bogut for a lot of those shots, and the rest he was just going right to the rim because there was nobody to block the layups. All of that sort of screams for Splitter.Quote:

Their recap of Miami-Chicago was that it was ALL rust, they spent minutes on the rust of Miami affecting guys like Battier and Anderson, etc etc.
But their recap of the Spurs-Warriors game was ALL about the refs taking the game from Golden State. They spent minutes droning on and on about over-the-back calls, Klay Thompson calls, Green calls, non-calls on the Spurs and so forth. All they talked about was how incredible Curry was and how bad the refs were. Spurs received no credit nor rust excuse.
WGAF. Win or go home.
The defense isn't rusty. It just SUCKS!!!Quote:
