I'm just damn proud of ya's comin' back from The Skunker.
Now please get Pop a tailor so the crotch of his Haggars aren't down to his knees.
When all these Lakers s like luva, history2b, AIDS, et al were eulogizing the Spurs this off-season, Culburn didn't join in. He was one of the few posters to see a bright spot in Neal (he rapedPERIOD), even many Spurs fans, myself included, didn't give a about this pickup prior to the season. In addition, he also took the Spurs seriously, saying Duncan has a legitimate shot at his 5th ring if the Spurs manage to properly fit all their pieces together.
Despite his repe ive trolling and gimmicks, Culburn knows his basketball. He was able to see something pre-season in the Spurs that many did not.

How did you figure on Neal being a key addition?
In the pre-season, you were talking him up more than our draft pick James Anderson.
Frankly, you got me confused with someone else, Midge. I didn't know the man existed till Luva blew the whistle on his rape history.
he rapedPERIOD, Neal with it.
Hmmm. I remember you saying something like, "...if this Neal fellow proves he's the goods, the Spurs will right back in the hunt." With that, you were implying he had an upside, while most other fans were simply writing him off as scrub.
I don't recall it, Mid. I thought I didn't take notice till Luva ratted him out.
He scares me to death now.
He scares me, too. But in reverse. That his shot will fail him when it really matters.
That's my hope.
that old coot. He's out and he's staying outPERIOD.
Neal with it.
I was interested in Gary Neal's play after this thread, and I tried to search for any highlights on youtube, but all I could find was JR Smith's dunk. Anyone got highlights?
You won't find any highlights because stone cold three point shooting doesn't make the reels. JR Smith can get his dunk. Neal likes to score an extra point every possession.
The reason he is getting so much attention from those here is he is instant offense. He comes in cold and heats it up quick. There have been a lot of comparisons to the "microwave" Vinnie Johnson. The good thing about him is that if he was solely a spot up shooter he would be fantastic. The guy just drains them with abandon, but as defenses have started to key in on him, he has shown in the last 2-3 weeks or so that he has some handles and can drive to the basket and make good decisions on the way.
Cubby said that about Tiago.
If you recal correctly I also predicted the last ride of the spurs this off-season. And the scary thing is Duncan has only been beasting in spots ...and we all KNOW he will turn it up come playoff time.
Now i did not predict the spurs would be on a Bulls like 72 win pace, but i expected at LEAST a trip to the WCF ...
the Lakers better stop bull tin' and realize they have a legit threat in Texas ...maybe two ...but i knew spurs would bounce back ...kudos. But as a Laker fan I aint counting my team out yet. But this season has been worse than last years end of season malaise ...
Artest, Fisher are giving us nothng and Pau is VERY inconsistent. Kobe can still be Kobe but he has lost another half-step. not sure THIs group can survive the slow starting unit and ALSO getting nada out of two starters.
Plus to top it off Sasha has found himself useful in NJ ...hitting shots getting in transition actually hustling on defense and we lack all 3 ... dont blame Jerry for saving the money, and it's not like we had many minutes to feed Sasha but the team seems out of balance right now roster wise and playing wise. Especially in contrast to what the spurs are doing everyone is contributing to their team.
& because of the rape thing. Most people aside from rabid personal fans in Texas and the rest of us committed to the the NBA grist mill don't know of Neal's rape and pillage activities.
During the telecast of the Mavs/Spurs game the other evening it was comical when Neal lit, the national annoucers cited him very careful....ly.....each.........word........one.... .at.......a.........time.....so no slip was uttered. "They" don't talk about Kobe's rape. "They" won't cite Neal's rape either.
Product placement. Brand protected.
I don't even see how this is an argument against the fact that there are no neal highlights. If... as you infer... the powers that be are trying to avoid any kind of mention of any improprieties on Neal's part, don't you think that they would be trumpeting his outstanding play?
Your "argument" which I see as a lame attempt to try to bring something up which has nothing to do with the OP seems to support the opposite side of what you are arguing.
Perhaps.
Still, Media by & large weren't prepared for him. Then upon arrival they wanted to deliver him hard & fast, the old fashioned way. As a tribute to Pop and "his way." Then Joe Schmo said to Media big wig:::"Uh, Mr. Weinstein, ----whisper, whisper, pssst, psst, wink, wink, giggle, smirk."
Once again, they have not delivered him "hard and fast the old fashioned way" they have not delivered him at all. Additionally, how does the second part of your statement relate at all to what is being discussed (other than your desire to excuse Kobe's behaviors or something along those lines)?
Untrue. I don't excuse Kobe's rape anymore than I excuse your Neal's rape. They both raped. I had to live with mine. Now I have your company.
I just enjoy the compartmentalization of Kobe's rape. The cleansing of it by sports Media at the behest of Stern & NY so "the take" was protected, and then kick started once again.
If Neal continues to light his rape will have to be dealt with: cleansed, cubby-holed (tee, hee), sanitized, brokered, rationalized. Word will be put out, the girl (like Kobe's) will be demonized in whisper & deed.
It's an American thing, Drach.
For arguments sake, let's allow all that you just said. What does it have to do with the thread in which we are posting (other than the name "Neal")?
It's ok, Drach. Neal raped. It's like that fable "Man in the Iron Mask." He (Man) got used to it, livin' with that mask on 24/7. "I wear the mask, the mask doesn't wear me."
You'll get used to it too, Drach. But, like the yard boss in "Cool Hand Luke" admonishes:::"you never get used to that jinglin' of those chains."
I have never said that I have a problem with your assertion other than the your bringing it up in inappropriate moments (i.e. in a thread where it doesn't belong or even weakly support either side of an argument).
Your obsession with Neal's sexual conduct is quite telling.
There was never an inappropriate moment to bring up Bryant's rape.
Ipso facto, there ain't an inappropriate moment to bring up Neal's rape.
Means to an end, Drach. How does it feel?
spurs fans damn. Most of you didn't give two s that Gary Neal raped in the beginnng of the season. Now that he is knocking down some threes you gots would take a bullet for him, defending him every chance you get. Hypocrites.
