Stephen A Smith just said that the Heat will win the whole thing next year! :lmao :lmao
He then pointed out that "it will most likely come back to haunt me, cuz I have been wrong every time Ive picked the NBA Championship."
:lol Looks like he will be wrong again.
This shocks me...not at all. The unnatural man-love for Shaq continues.
:lmao I love SAS. He is hillarious! I dont understand the SAS hate from most Spurs fans.Quote:

I can only speak for myself but the constant insulting of David Robinson turned me off.Quote:

I'm shock!!!! NOT!
Dont get me wrong, I dont agree with him. I cant stand some of the thing he says. But his stupidity makes him hillarious.
If SAS predicted that the Heat will win it all. The whole team can already start booking an early vacation in the Bahamas without playing the season.Quote:

Stephen A. needs to be photo shopped into a "Gone Fishin'" photo.
It's actually quite funny, given that he admitted to being wrong every single time.
I can't understand why the dude can get a job. I mean, hire me! I will shout loud on TV, and annoy everyone
After watching this episode of Quite Frankly, I now can say, "I cant stand SAS!!!"
BTW, he was asked questions at the end of the show. One questin was, "who are your two favorite athletes to cover?"
His answer was, surprize surprize, AI and Shaq.
He also went on to say, something to the extent of, not only is Shaq a dominant athlete, but he is also "a beautiful, beautiful man."Quote:

Guess SAS can't deal with fractions. SA is still favored, bitch!
Steven, understand SAC is offering a "Get over the Fear of Math" class. I'll sponsor a full up scholarship for your fraction-limited dumb ass just to sign up!
:fro :fro :fro
He also picked the Pistons to win it all this year and you know what happened.Quote:

SAS loves the Heat and hates the Spurs so it is not surprising that he would pick the Heat. He is not the only one though that is predicting the Heat to win it all. Matchups don't look good for Miami if they play San Antonio.
This suprises anyone???
Give me a break.
The guy is a hack, a moron.
IMO, I think hes a bit of a rascist.
He rags on Rasho Nesterovic, Christian Laettner and others....
But guys like Rasheed Wallace and others, are left alone, wonder why......
I dont know why yall are trippin like I was shocked or somethin. I was just saying what he said. I wasnt surprized by it at all. Dude has been all over Shaq's jock for years. I was just posting what he said. I havent seen anyone really surprized by it. I was niether surprized or upset. I thought it was HILLARIOUS, actually.Quote:

At least GiG is entertaining in the "point-and-laugh" kind of way. :fro
c'mon, the spurs have got to bring back the big doggie just to piss of stephen azz smith....
Wrong.Quote:

I would say more than a bit. :)
Glad Im not the only one that thinks about that.
The only SAS interview I'd want to see would be one with Charles Barkley. Now THAT would be entertaining. Let's see what Charles' prediction is for 06, since he picked the Spurs at the beginning of 05.
I used to the spurs gettin overlooked... as a matter of fact I get nervous when there the favorites (see 2004)
His arguement for pistons to win this past championship was that they were the defending champions. It was that and some irrelevent loud noises mixed into it. Now the spurs prove him wrong and he picks the Heat. Shocking. Truely shocking.
Once again SAS gets on his knees to suck Shaq's dick. Shaq in return will keep inviting him to his parties.
I'm not saying that SAS is not a racist, but your example was horrible. Rasho and Christian are not good players and Sheed was one of the leaders of an NBA Champion. Rasho and Laettner are not even in Sheeds class of a player. Obviously he can't pick the Spurs, then his show would not get ratings and his personality would not get ratings cause he would be like almost anyone else. Also you always look for who is gonna knock off the champion. Miami probably does have the best chance if the new Heat can transform their games to fit a system.Quote:

And I do think he is a sellout, but its easy to pick the team that should win it or has won it, its more compelling to hear why someone else will win it, unless you are a Spurs fan. Also some people on this site get too antsy the second people bad mouth the Spurs. They are NBA freaking champions, people are gonna criticize you, you are on top, they have to try and pull you down.Quote:

If there are legit questions about a champ repeating, that is fine and there will be but the intentional lack of respect is unneccessary. The Spurs stars are either quiet or international, which in the eyes of SAS is akin to being white and therefore inferior. The Lakers got respect as the defending champs and so did Detroit and both rightfully so. What happened to the respect given to a defending champ? I understand how players are going to give it there all when they play the Spurs...you always want to do your best against the current champs to see where you are in your game but that is on the court. The players give their respect to the champs...why can't the media? Used to be a respect and sportsmanship thing....sadly that has all gone out the window in today's sports world.Quote:

SAS is a total rasist
yesterday on his show he was all about the black athlete has every right to get as much money from the owners by holding out while insisting its not about greed
that's the second time I have watched his show - strike two
Well you know the old saying about picks. You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't expect Steven A. Smith to ever be right about anything because he's such a fucking moron. Or something like that.
Well last year they said heat will win it with shaq on the team last season but looked what happened
I beg to defer on the Detroit one, they didn't get any respect from the media until they start playing the Spurs (no idea why). And over the last decade or so, you can notice that a team in a large media market like the Lakers and the Bulls get much respect from the media, while teams like the Rockets, Spurs and Pistons get far less.Quote:

It's a lemming effect, and bigger media markets can make this work much easier than small market teams.
It's like a movie review, have you watched the Blair Witch Project? That movied sucked like hell, but once the bandwaggon started rolling, there is no stopping it.
fair points. good post.
Unfortunately the Spurs have won the championship twice before in recent history and failed to defend it the following year. If I was a casual fan from somewere else but SA I would probably hold off on giving the Spurs full props to win it all again next year.Quote:

For Once Stephen A. Smith is right. I don't think San Antonio can handle that beast of a team of Miami now that Shaq has real players going with him. Walker, J. Williams, and Posey were great players without Shaq but with Shaq are a monster and San Antonio will get embarrased by Miami's offensive capabilities. Posey will shut down Ginobili also.
Hey bro, you forgot to change your favorite team when you registered.Quote:

The idiot is better as a host... we should be thankful he isn't talking his yapping.
He's always been wrong about the Spurs, and he probably hates that...
I also think he's a bit of a racist... I think he likes the Heat for that..
They just have more "african american" players on it..
that's IMO.

Thinkin negatively? Every AHF and TPark dont think as "negatively" as you do. :lol
Without a bench, Miami doesnt scare me.
Kori knows who you are... and she laughed.Quote:

I don't think any team in the league is great now, not even the Spurs. A GREAT team comes up once a generation.
I to agree that Miami is better. Spursdaone is just telling the truth.

I'd love for Kori to tell everyone who you are..
Oh that'd be a good day.
Rack him. I finally have somebody who knows basketball.Quote:

Well this should deflate that jackass's ego a bit.
After a promotion that was pretty hyper even by ESPN standards, the debut of Stephen A. Smith's hourlong Quite Frankly ESPN2 talk show Monday drew 0.3% of U.S. cable TV households, 0.1% on Tuesday and 0.3% on Wednesday. That's slightly below what ESPN2 averaged in the show's 6:30 p.m. ET time slot for July — and below ratings for ESPN/ESPN2's recent coverage of the U.S. Open of Competitive Eating.
:elephant :elephant :lol :lol :lol
Shaq, Jones, and Jones were all stars at that time. Kobe a star on the very cusp of being a superstar.. Wade is a star. He is not a superstar yet. Niether Walker nor White Chocolate are superstars. Shaq is the only superstar on that team.Quote:

If Miami keeps Damon Jones their bench will be loaded. Kobe Bryant of 1998 or 1999 is not as good as the Dwayne Wade of last year.
Ahhhh...Quote:

No I didn't. I said that he probably hadn't been posting for a while because he was probably tired of pretending to be a Spurs fan. It's in the Quattro Thread.Quote:

The heat wont even beat my pistons let alone win a title. Sorry we own Shaqs fat ass and will continue to do so. Heat were up 6 in the 4th of game 7 and they couldnt get the job done so dont you dare give me this "shaq and wade were hurt" BS. Theyll be a force but to put them ahead of the Pistons/Pacers is a joke. And please their not better then the spurs and the ones who say it are spur haters or scared fans who like to overrate the other team. Wow a suns fan saying the heat over the spurs? Hey dude worry about staying the 2nd best team in the west and last i checked Allas and Houston are knocking on your door.
I am not going to say anything about Shaq but Wade looked pretty messed up in that final game. Miami was up 3-2 before Wade got injured. I feel Miami should've beaten Detroit and will next year. Indiana is better than Detroit to but Wallace took Artest out of the season. Detroit always finds a way in injuring or taking out a key player to get far until San Antonio showed them what a healthy team can do. Malone with the Lakers, J. O'Neal with the Pacers last year and Artest this year.Quote:

....and thanks to this forum, more people know sas picked miami than actual viewers of his show....
TooTru! ^
Stephen A. Smith is biased in most his picks. He picks who he likes more.
This is how I see the east go next year. Indiana beats Detroit in 6 games and Miami beats New Jersey in 5 games. Miami beats Indiana in 6 games to the finals.
^^^ Ok now you lack credibility we earned our title last year and our return trip to the finals! Dont even give me talks on injuries when you faced a Depleted seattle team and a suns team. And calling us Dirty? sheesh. Well you are not really a spurs fan anyways when you are scared of miami. You win a world title have 90% and over of the core coming back and your pissing your pants on the heat. True spurs fans are enjoying the offseason but your not one of them. I hated losing the finals still do but you make it out to sound like you have it worse them me this summer!
FYI You guys lost to a Spurs team that had Timmy playing on two sprained ankles, DB didnt even get to play cuz his back and leg was injured, and Manu hurt his leg in game three. So yes, we played injured teams, and so did you. Truth is, most teams are hurting around playoff time. Its what happens when you play an 82 game season. SA and Detroit beat teams that were hurt. But SA was also hurt. And Detroit could not beat a hurt Spurs team. Spurs=World Champs!Quote:

I think SA is still the best team in the league. They are still the team to beat! As I have been saying this whole thread, Miami doesnt scare me at all!!
The last I've checked Pistons were healthy while Ginobili was hobbled and Devin Brown was injured. Why I am concerned with the Heat is because they have gotten much better while the spurs are the same. I can't see the Spurs win it unless they get somebody who can stop Wade or slow him down. Bowen is on his last legs and any signs of slowing down will kill San Antonio against Miami. That Duncan injury was the result of Detroit being dirty also. It should be called Detriot.Quote:

Last time I checked Miami hasn't proven anything. They proved they can make the playoffs. Big deal. They also proved they can lose in the playoffs. As much as everybody thinks Miami's "Dream Team" is going to roll over the competition they will find it much harder to beat a re-motivated Pistons team, even with Flip at the helm. And Indiana has more to prove then any team now in the East. They are going to have a bigger chip on their shoulder than anybody. I wouldn't be suprised to see Miami get eliminated in the first-round by the newborn Cavs.
Again, Miami doesnt have a good bench!
Period!
Ummm last i checked it takes a team to win. You cant stop a star you can only make him work harder. Spurs staying the same should be a good thing you idiot. They have their core intact they dont need to make any more major moves. You have your team locked up and your pissed about that go figure. You are not a spurs fan anyways. From reading your comments and from what others have been saying your a fake fan but thats typical. Learn the game before you post stupid stuff like that.Quote:

outcome to the point where the suns would win. And as far as the sonics go, that guy who went down with the ankle injury, forget that guy, who is he. And as far as Lewis,
it was noted by everybody that seattle actually got better without him in the lineup.
i think im gonna like housesittingQuote:

The stupid thing is you saying that Wade and Shaq getting injured had no effect in that game 7. If Ben Wallace went down would that effect the game? It is obvioius that Detroit has had more luck than any team in the league when it comes to their teams injuries vs. other teams injuries. Think before you type next time.Quote:

Well, if they do win it all then maybe he's got something. But until that happens, it's still just a guess.
So he MAY be right this year. But it will be the first time! And thats only because of a poorly timed Manu foul.
Also, I am not so sure MIA can beat Dallas (assuming both MIA and DAL win in the CFs).
And a ragged Pistons team, and a great Dallas team, and a weary band of Suns fan, and a tired out Duncan in OT, and a Heat team that's stepped up their game, and and and..........Quote:
