NBA: Chuck on the upcoming season

[Phenomanul]

i think 08 spurs were actually favorites, whereas last year nobody gave them a chance. The big thing in 08 was the hornets 7 game series broke the spurs, if they had played the lakers first they would have won IMO. of all the years that injuries cost us, i think of 08 first- manu was hobbled and that decided the series.

Everyone in here is pretending like then NBA Commissioner David Stern didn't state earlier that year that he wanted a Lakers vs. Lakers finals... and since he couldn't realistically get that pairing that a Lakers vs. Celtics finals would suffice. That's exactly what he orchestrated.

Which is why he assigned Joey Crawford to officiate Game 4 and make sure that the series wouldn't slip away. If Spurs had won Game 4 the series would've been tied 2-2. Instead Joey swallows his whistle on the most critical play of the game; result Lakers win by 2. I'm pretty sure Ginobili was playing on a bum ankle that entire series from a kick Sasha Vujacic gave him in game 1... the same one he ended up stress fracturing during the Beijing Games just a few months later.

Another season of the goofs upstairs circle jerking over re Leonard and cleaning up the trophy shelf like it's a lock.

Welp, that didn't happen

He also makes fun of the lack of skill in the nba. Total joke.

Totally agree with this part. I always laugh when media creams all over the NBA like "if you ain't here you ain't good" when there are scrubs like Kevin Looney and Austin Rivers starting for their teams.

Of course not, anybody with a brain (not attic re s) knew this.
