Skip Bayless still on our bandwagon. Who's the spare with the big fake ass gold chain?
That's Wale, rapper from Rick Ross' Maybach Music group....
I saw this and I cringe when Wale talks down the Spurs because all he is saying is what he hears in the media about the Spurs. First Take with another uneducated guest.
That was the impression I got. He sounded like a casual NBA fan who doesn't watch the games, but keeps up with his "favorite" teams scores from time to time.
pretty annoying discussion ...
ESPN only want's a Laker--Heat final. It's the company line.
that Wale guy is ridiculously annoying.
and Skip Bayless is freaking awesome.
I will say this, the playoffs are a different game, one that favors "old" teams that execute. The Spurs are scoring a lot of points by getting out on the break and executing in the half court. They can play the game the playoffs require.
But, I also agree with Skip on the Heat, sort of. When Lebron and Wade have it going with Bosh contributing, their ceiling is higher than anyone else's plain and simple. The Spurs may be playing the best, but the Heat can be the best.
All of them are ridiculously annoying. That was some of the worst basketball discussion I've ever seen on a "sports" network. Even if it's not about the Spurs, you can tell the blatant bias and removal of all fact based arguments. "Cute record". We get it, the Spurs don't act hood enough for you and you hate white guys from other countries. Why not just say that, because you obvisouly haven't watched any NBA basketball this year or last year for that matter.
I love the roll of the eyes when talking about a fractured elbow. No biggie.
Saying that we were in the same exact position as last year is beyond ignorant.
We lost 6 in a row towards the end, Timmy was hurting, we were not rolling, our best ball was played earlier in the year, and we had Jefferson.
This year, much deeper, playing best ball RIGHT NOW, everyone healthy. Shouldn't compare last years team to this years, its not the same team. The only similarity is going to be that we have the #1 seed.
Is Skip the only guy who has even followed the Spurs the past 5 years?!
The rolling of the eyes of that Blonde chic got me because wtf does she know about the Spurs, all she knows is how to read from a cue card, and now she has an opinion? And yeah when Wale said we had a cute record shows his ignorance.
Yeah, from the "moderator" no less. Plus, they said that the elbow didn't count because Gino played. Anyone here try to play with a fractured elbow? I've never even broken a bone, just had bad sprains. I can't imagine how hard that is.
This is a perfect illustration of why I don't watch ESPN anymore. Like most networks, they play to the lowest common denominator. In that whole segment, I didn't hear one ounce of analysis about either team.
Sure, they don't want the Spurs to go to the finals because the NBA has become solely entertainment. I would love for LeBron and Co to be denied once more.
They have a good shot.
I had never watched the show until today (only seen clips here and there) and I was horrified. It's like they're reading transcripts from various trolls on the internet.
Today was the day that I went from, "I doesn't matter what the media says, we keep on rollin!" to I want the Spurs to beat the living outta every team we face in the playoffs! This disrespect form outside teams, fans, and the media has reached a boiling point! We're straight mutha in ballin! Everyone says the game changes in the playoffs as if it disregards the regular season totally!
I think any honest Spurs fan had a bit of pause about the team last year. Something wasn't "right" about that team. I have no questions about this team. We can win it all, it's just a matter of doing what we're capable of doing! We're gonna destroy the NBA this post season!!!
And I hated when "analysts" start playing the ratings card. Parker pointed out that 2 of the Finals were the least watched ratings wise. That's a product of ESPN marketing individual players rather than great teamwork.
Bayless is as much a dumbass as Screamin' A-hole Smith. I don't understand why anyone would watch that .
I want to ask those guys saying OKC will win the west, if they will trust with their`s right hand in Russell Westbrook shootings ? Simply as that. OKC lost random series, and Westbrook cost them ,let say, 3 games with poor shooting, those morons will get their right hand chop off. I`d trust with Kobe, Parker, Paul, Durant, Manu, Dirk but not this selfish clunker.
WWWW. Westbrook wont win west.
What had that point to do with the discussion anyways?
Exactly. ing tools.
Wale dudes argument is that the Spurs regular season record is cute but the game changes in the playoffs. o mother er!!! Spurs have been there and done that. They know how to win in the playoffs and or comeback from losses in the playoffs and withstand runs. That's what a veteran championship team does. As long as they are healthy Spurs can whoop some ass in the playoffs. Its not the same team from last year.
Whats funny is that you can flip that bull argument on it's head. Hey Wale, Thunder's record is cute and but it's a different game in the playoffs . Until the thunder make it to the finals they don't deserve the respect their getting. ing chuckers are gonna get slapped.
That Wale dude is effin' annoying. Yawning at the potential Jazz-Spurs series and said he would rather watch paint dry is disgraceful. And it all stems from ESPN in the first place. I've never seen such blatant dissing on one franchise before. Even last week when Manu had that terrific pass in the Laker game, that play did not even make the top 10. Is it because Duncan doesn't have a big ass mouth? Can't be because Rose is even quieter. Is it because Manu is a white foreigner? Can't be because Nash is consistently applauded. I just don't understand.
The critics need to realize the Spurs' style of play has been revamped entirely from those earlier "boring" teams.
Can't wait for this squad to shut 'em up in May.
