Doug Gottlieb: Slighting the Spurs

[Horse]

You would think the stupid ing re would do some research. And once and for all can someone tell me why 99 is tainted when every team played an equal amount of games the same rules same everything. How the is it tainted when every team had an equal chance to win?

Because Phil said so.

He's ok calling college basketball games for non OK St games, but for anything else he's worthless. I think it's the smug look on his face on tv that really gives people the "I want to punch him in the pussy" reaction.

Doug Gottlieb epitomizes everything bad with ESPN. In a very familiar, ignorant shpeel, the jackass ranted that the Spurs' success has been tainted by the fact that they had an easy road to their championships.

1. They won their first le in a strike shortened season.

2. They never had to go through a Shaq-Kobe-Phil Jackson coached team.

Just plain ignorant. He used the Spurs as an example twice before going to a commercial break. Someone with some knowledge of basketball reminded him of the Spurs ending the Lakers 3peat and all he says is: (In a very low tone) "Correction, the Spurs beat the Lakers....NOW, MY POINT BEING THAT TEAMS THAT DON'T BEAT THE BETTER TEAMS ON THEIR WAY TO WINNING A LE" blah blah blah.....

And to think, I switched the radio station over from Dan Patrick's gawd awful show to listen to that crap. Lesson learned. Just take a quiet shower.

Isn't that what makes them the BEST team out there...the fact that they don't have to beat any BETTER teams because there is, by definition, NO BETTER TEAM to beat???

"Better" should be replaced by "tougher" or Championship caliber teams. We caught a break when the Mavs got knocked out by the Warriors for instance in 2007. However, that's not to say that we wouldn't have beat them anyways.

4 championships. The trophies, rings and festivities weren't figments of Gottlieb's imagination. They actually happened. That says it all.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Well, , guess that actually WASN'T kobe bryant bawling his eyes out on the bench in '03.


My bad, Doug. My bad.

[awktalk]

who the is doug gottlieb and why should we care?

This is Doug Gottlieb. Someone who never played a minute in the NBA.

After signing a national letter of intent with Notre Dame, Gottlieb was their starting point guard during the 1995-1996 college basketball season, starting all but four games. During Gottlieb's freshman year at Notre Dame, he stole credit cards from a roommate and fraudulently charged over $900 to those cards; subsequently, he was expelled from the team and eventually convicted of misdemeanour fraud. Gottlieb then earned an Associate of Arts in business at Golden West College.

spurs are in the western conference. the only teams with EASY paths to the finals ARE ALWAYS IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE jackasses.

the 7th and 8th seeds in the east are WELL below .500 and probably have been for the last decade.
