New Guy

[YODA]

good to see you
I live in az and the sun fans suck
I know alot of them want to avoid the spurs in playoffs

I ALMOST feel bad for them, some great teams that coudnt quite get it done.
The Spurs being their Kryptonite. Amost a mental thing now.

It was always a mental thing. 1-end of bench, Phoenix probably had more talent every time we met, except last year. They just had knuckleheads like Marion, who in addition to being overpaid, wants to be a higher option on offense. Shawn Marion would have a hard time creating a fart if he ate 5 burritos, let alone his own shot, or something for someone else.

I think the tipping point in their franchise was trading Joe Johnson and keeping Shawn Marion in 2005. Nash isn't the most durable guy in the world, and since JJ left, they have struggled to find someone to run their offense when Nash is on the bench. JJ could also play effectively off of Nash when they played together. Keep JJ, and ship Marion out for KG (there were those rumors), and you're looking at:

Amare
KG
JJ
Nash
Bell

Damn...

For a moment I thought this thread was about the movie "The New Guy." However this is about a new guy here. Welcome to the forum.. The Suns suck but you seem cool.

[Allanon]

people who constantly put their foot in their mouth when talking about Tim Duncan piss me off....when someone calls him "boring" it's usually code for "he has destroyed the Suns for years so rather than give him credit I'm going to display my lack of sportsmanship".

Duncan IS boring. He just scores and defends, he needs to get in a fight, have a scandal or something to get more of my respect.

Duncan IS boring. He just scores and defends...

It takes an amazing amount of talent and work to be as consistent as he is. His footwork is incredible, his passing under-rated, his BBIQ off the charts. He's changed his game up a little this year, shooting outside more. He continues to be selfless, dominate, and makes everyone around him better.

The boring label is used by people that don't see his game. (I don't mean you Allanon, I know you respect him). The casual fan wants highlight reels, with dunks and alley-oops and chest bumps and KG-type emotion. You're not going to get that from Duncan, you're going to get consistency and greatness.

...he needs to get in a fight, have a scandal or something to get more of my respect.

You have to be talking sarcastic, you have to be.

If not, I don't see how stupidity equates to respect.

Wow! You've hit the nail on the head. C'mon Tim, shut the national media up by choking out Pop during a game (or if P.J. comes back (given his history, all the better for a good throat squeeze). Maybe he could rap, asking ex-Spurs about the taste of his rectum (as if he needs to ask. It tastes just like it smells...Delicious!). You couldn't make it without me, Sean Marks, how my ass taste? He could go crazy at a Ren-Fest and slaughter nerds with his narsil blade replica. He could get plastic surgery and skin lightening to look like Disney's Peter Pan followed by molestation charges (otherwise what's the use of looking like Peter Pan, right?). He could father uncountable illegitimate children and eat himself out of the N.B.A. God, the possibilities of having intrigue are endless! Oh and, welcome Suns fan to the Deathstar.

Welcome!!! I pity the Suns fans. Casting out a fellow fan because he apparently appreciates all styles of basketball. How poetic! (And re ed)

Agree 100%. I especially like this and my respekt for Duncan would go through the roof with classics like these:

You couldn't make it without me, Sean Marks, how my ass taste?
You couldn't make it without me, Malik Rose, how my ass taste?
You couldn't make it without me, Sho, how my ass taste?
You couldn't make it without me, Red Rocket, how my ass taste?

You have to be talking sarcastic, you have to be.

If not, I don't see how stupidity equates to respect.

It's a boring day guys and I'm stuck at work, give me a break, is the game on yet?

It's similar to the Spurs mental block against the Bucks.
It's a good thing we don't see them in the playoffs!

Heh, make a song parody of that one song (I don't pay attention to the names of songs, so if I am wrong, please correct me.) "Back that ass up." Only instead change that line to "How my ass taste?" Might be funny if you can make up other words.

Nice comparison!!!

Don't get me started, what would that record be if Kobe didn't have Shaq for all but one of those series? I assume I won't have to hear Kobe homers constantly salivating over Kobe on this board, I'm tired of hearing about him.

I don't really want to talk about this stuff, but take away 0.4 and it could have easily been 3-2 before the Lakers series last season. We didn't win game 6 though and the record books show that the Lakers won the series so I'm trying not get worked up over that anymore.

[T Park]

I hope that's a joke...he's been playing better this year but he's the biggest waste of talent since Chris Wilcox.

Does anyone think Finley is going to play a whole lot once Manu and Tony come back? He's becoming a huge defensive liability for them, I just don't see any reason why Pop would give him minutes when he's got Mason who's better than him in all areas of play and Udoka who might not be as good a shooter but isn't a defensive liability.

Seeing as hes been the third best player on the team lately, why would you stop playing him totally?

I think Minnesota wanted Amare back in return so that lineup would not be possible.

I know he has been, but it just seems to me like once they no longer need Finley to score 15-20 PPG and are willing to sacrifice defense in the process he won't have a very big role. Knowing Pop he'll be able to create a role for him more at SF since Mason has solidified the backup SG position.

This team has always been fun for me to watch, but the average fan who calls them boring might even find them fun to watch once Parker and Manu come back, they're more versatile than ever and I'm sure this rebounding problem is only because they are playing small more often.

wuzzup bro? welcome

new guy is just old guy with new screen name

He won't be needed to score that much, but he will be needed to help Ginobili and Mason off the bench.

IF we had a true center that was decent we would be favorites imo. Because everything else looks like its gonna fall into place. I'm not fond of having undersized centers trying to hold down our interior defense. Thats why I hope Ian becomes somebody for the Spurs. That will be a true barometer of where the Spurs will be come playoff time.

And welcome aboard suns fan. Most of us try to keep things real around here. I think most of us just hate it when ppl hate on the Spurs. We don't go boasting about our teams Championships yet people keep trying to bash them like we do.

If our team sucks I'd have no qualms about acknowledgeing it but if they are looking good I won't be afraid of saying it is so.

I think they will in all likelihood add a big body who can also rebound, the question is who.

I know Tim Duncan will never do this, but if you mean by having a scandal like... say... raping someone and getting indicted for it, then by all means yes!
