[BonnerDynasty]

snORNETS fans bandwagoners? no! LOL

I guess you can say all NO Hornets fans are bandwaggoners by the definition. I mean, they had a team that left them for two years, took the new orleans name off the jerseys and came back to play a handful of meaningless games at a college arena 90 miles away. But now all of a sudden they're back in New Orleans, so the actual New Orleans fans start cheering for them after a 2 year absence. So yeah, by definition, I guess we're all bandwaggoners, but its a bandwaggon unlike your typical bandwagons.

Being that i did not notice this incident, no I cannot confirm or deny acceptable/innapropriate behavior. But has bowen's cheap shots been acceptable just b/c they are during play?

Really, HE WALKED IN FRONT OF HIM AFTER A FREE THROW! Could he possibly have been going to talk to his teamates and upon turning around, accidently be right in front of Duncan? You are all acting like he walked in the lane, and stood there and was denying him the ball. I'm pretty sure the refs would have had something to say at that point.

Well then why didn't you just say this in the first place? Instead of counter-attacking an incident you know nothing about?! See? That's why was appropriate! Best laugh so far today!

but regardless, here's a good video...

You sure do big boy! And in case you were wondering, I won my grandfather.

Hey, did you hear the story where a struggling family without food in New Orleans called Chris Paul to tell him that he was their favorite player? Chris showed up, pulled down his pants, and took a big on their front lawn. Then, everyone who saw this swears that out of the grew a money tree! Isn't Chris Paul awesome? He's just the best person to ever live! Yea for Chris!!

I read that in SI

I'm sure CP3 would appreciate that joke, especially considering your video.

Damn! Is that Grolsch beer on that road?

Bottles don't look right, but the name on the crates...

Just not right to post something like that here, especially being down 2-1 in a series. I'm close enuf to the edge as it is...

[HornetGumboBalls]

It was a typo joke, not a death joke. Once again, mars, you are manufacturing things that just aren't there.

oh yeah? well i have a friend that's not a hornets fan and he loves chris paul and thinks the entire SA team is a bunch of crybabies. Honestly, how re ed is your argument? "i have a friend so it must be true".

And heaven forbid he doesn't get down on his knees a beg the almighty tim duncan and his amazing stat line this series (13pts/gm, 8reb/gm) to allow him on the same court! The nerve! Honestly, what does tim duncan have to do to get some respect? hmm, maybe not be mediocre against physical compe ion?

So basically you're an arrogant y little prick too.

I really hope the Hornets players have the same at ude as their fans do.

If they do it will be over by halftime but don't bet on it. Scott won't let them think that way or at least caution against it. Hopefully that speech has the same effect as the one he gave for game 3.

I see a dogfight tonight.

I hope I'm dead wrong, though.

But I bet we see the return of Mr. TD!

[nfg3]

Bowen kicked a man in his back while on the floor. But we still love him.

I'm assuming that you are referring to the Ray Allen situation. Sounds like you disaggreed with what he did but still love him on our team. I aggreed with what he did but thought he should have gone farther. What I saw on youtube was classless by Allen. If it was me I would have kicked that SOB in the head and knocked the living crap out of him! Jumpimg sideways on a J into Bowen's throat with his elbow warrents him being FUBARed. Ray Allen was being himself - a punk to Bowen since Bruce usually gets under his skin and messes up his game.

I was talking to a friend who is not a spur fan, he was actually rooting for phoenix and without me bringing it up, brought up the fact that Paul acts like an arrogant little . I thought it was our Spurs blinders who made us think that. The surprising thing is 2 other ppl in the table that are Celtic fans completely agreed. all 3 of them dislike him.

they also told me one thing I missed. during game 1 or 2, after Duncan shot a FT, Paul walked all the way in front of DUncan when he tried to get the ball back for his 2nd FT. Duncan got so pissed he grabbed the ball and used it to push Paul out of the way.

why this guy gotta act like a little prick?

good to know the "dislike" for Paul is legitimate in this forum...

Dude, that flop clip of Chris Paul is priceless. Paul is a flopping who got ousted in the first round at Wake, that's all I know about him. I haven't seen him play yet cuz none of the games in this series have been televized in Brazil yet. Last year every single Spurs playoff game was on. They showed f-ing Cleveland and Boston last night. Gag.

[td4mvp21]

Paul is alright off the court, he seems like a nice guy. But on the court? Yeah, he acts like a . He's a hothead.

[Indazone]

The only thing that made CP3 tolarable to me was when the trash talking Rafer Alston got a rise out of him.

This showed to me what an ass CP3 is airing this smack to the press.

Alston
"We beat New Orleans and people say they were without David West," Alston said. "Well David West isn't a superstar. He may be a star to their team, but he's not a superstar like Yao Ming."

CP3
"Tracy McGrady is a great player. If I was Rafer Alston, I'd probably ride his coattails too." "He had a tough time out there trying to stay in front of me, and that was the plan." "When you got somebody like Rafer Alston, who thinks they're a lot better than they really are, you gotta test them."

[manufor3]

Very good point.

you're getting put on my ignore list as you speak

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Hey you are absolutely right. During the game they are equals as compe ors and should push as hard as they can. But what we're talking about here is between free throws!!
No difference than if Chris Paul walked up and kicked a guy who was down tying his shoe during a time out! Now will you please explain why CP's behavior during that free throw was acceptable?

Yeah, since when do players try to psych out players on the FT line?

This must be a first in the history of the NBA.

[Man of Steel]

I respect the kid's talent.

He acts like a prick on the court sometimes.

This is probably his way of keeping his "mojo." He's young and will learn someday (hopefully).

ALSO: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOTHERS!!!

[fightingtiger2335]

Spurs fans whine almost more then their team does on the court....but no one will ever beat the whining he Spurs do.

[ChumpDumper]

Except Paul.

[fightingtiger2335]

Tim Duncan has en in the league for years and has never committed a foul...the refs are always after him.

[HornetGumboBalls]

He gets fouled a ton though and the refs completely miss it!
