Would you guys want Allen to replace Mason?

I'm pretty sure "paleolithic" was a reference to his age, and not his skin color. Forgive me if I'm missing your joke, but if you were serious, you've got issues.

If that is true, it is a poor choice of words since paleolithic refers to characteristics of the early man Pliocene of Africa. There are certainly better ways of calling a dude old than calling a black guy paleolithic. Jurassic, for example.

Congratulations on your Googling abilities. Completely unnecessary though.
The overreaction was a joke. However, I do admit to misinterpreting the intent. Apologies to the Admiral.

That was some covert sarcasm brah, I thought you were for real. If you're gonna overreact, OVERREACT.

That said, Ray Allen's Jurassic ass ain't worth what he's gonna be asking for. He got his ring, he just wants financial security at this point.

You can't just "replace" a guy like Roger Mason..you can't teach the intangibles and basketball IQ that he brings..truly one of a kind..

no but seriously, he looks like he's completely lost interest in the Spurs when he's out there. it's a shame. i don't think i've ever witnessed a Spurs players display the degree of apathy on the court that he does, esp. on the defensive end. and then yesterday, he's MAKES ONE IN SHOT (he was 1/7 i believe at that point), comes down after a defensive a stop, and jacks up a HORRIBLE shot, that misses badly, in crunch time when a good shot was neccessary. un in' believable. Mason is so bad these days he feels he has a hot hand when he's shooting 15 percent for the game.

and yet he still logged 37 minutes of action, tied for 1st on the team..

@ racist fail. Christ butch up.

Now I really feel bad. It's not good when a vagina tells you to butch up.

[Chico]

no. What more proof do you need that AI isn't someone you want on your team?

Because the guy can play "18 minutes with eyes closed and a 100-pound truck on my back". That's why..

[024]

spurs will probably start ginobili with parker next year with hill being the sixth man.

He's a cancer and a quitter. There's a reason no one wants him.

If a chair replaces Mason we'll be a better team

No it doesn't. It literally translates to stone age.

Does saying someone is medieval denote racism as well?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Best bet to get him would be through sign and trade. And I doubt Boston would want to deal with us.

Paleolithic means "old rock".

It's pretty racist that the first thing you thought of when you heard "paleolithic" is that he's black, particularly considering the multiple leaps of logic required to get there.

Seriously, this is like asking if we'd want Stephen Jackson to replace Bonner.

Good God. Let it go. I apologized. I made a hasty judgement based on an influx of racist slurs on the game thread and elsewhere. That's the head space I was in when I read it. I made a mistake. I freely admit it.
By the way, it's called the Stone Age because the PEOPLE of the time were the first to develop stones as tools. Paleolithic refers to ALL characteristics of the era. Including, but not limited to, our ancestors and their physical appearance and attributes.
I was wrong to misinterpret the intent of the post, but I certainly do not need a lesson in anthropology.
