No...there are a bunch of us that understand the game of basketball. And our numbers grow every time AJ opens his mouth. Keep the faith! The major issue is that AJ fans control all the media outlets in SA....Don Harris' lips are so attatched to AJ's butt it isn't even funny....
Clearly AJ sucked so bad in SA. He didn't know a thing about leading a team. That 'coach on the floor' line that Pop often used was just to make him feel good. The Mavs, the Dallas Mavericks are a top 10 NBA defensive unit and you guys still want to pretend that AJ meant nothing to this team's first championship run. Stick to football or whatever sport you really know.
Well said!
False, not being 6, or living in a place where they didn't show Spurs games, when he played for the Spurs, and actually getting to see that J in action...I'd still feel the same way.
But the 3 point stat, crystalizes exactly why he hurt this team, well that and the repeated bleeding ass he was given defensively by any PG he was matched up against...and the fact that he couldn't hit FT's, or get to the FT line...
Damn even I won't be that harsh on AJ...he lead us to the worst record in Team History and Tim Duncan, the only year the Spurs were truly his team. Don't be a hater.
No, I think calling him a coach on the floor is a pretty accurate description of his play...That 'coach on the floor' line that Pop often used was just to make him feel good.
Pop also said he couldn't stop anyone 1 on 1...and that is also true. Don't let the smile fool you.
He was the weakest link.The Mavs, the Dallas Mavericks are a top 10 NBA defensive unit and you guys still want to pretend that AJ meant nothing to this team's first championship run.
Stick to football or whatever sport you really know.
My my, for such a level headed fan who lectures on what people should and shouldn't take personally and finds himself qualified to judge their sanity...you sure do seem full of right about now.
Lame points all the way around...Pop coached us to the #1 defense, that doesn't mean I wanted to see his ass on the court.
I think it was a smart tactical move on AJ's part. These new set of refs tonight will be looking out for Bowen's defense and I bet some how Dirk gets more than 20 pts tonight. I really don't think that AJ was trying to deliberately disrespect Bowen. He was apolegetic in later comments and basically blamed himself for poor play calling.
AJ did more than just hit that "shot". He was the leader on and off the court for that team. Yes, even more so than David. His vocal display of motivation, confidence and reassurance after losses should never be overlooked.
Aren't you a Mavericks fan? What in-depth knowledge do you have of AJ's so-called leadership abilities?
Actually, you just described Mario Elie.
Of course it's a smart tactical move -- but it's also complete garbage that everyone seems to believe that NBA officials can be so easily influenced. Rather than asking officials to bail out your star, why not find ways to help your star make plays.
Of course, when you can appear to do both, I guess it ups that genius quotient a bit more.
Like him or not, Phil Jackson has done this his entire coaching career. He seems to think it can influence officials to some degree.
And Phil Jackson is universally despised...
Of course I'm aware of that; I've seen it first-hand in 4 different series.
And, of course, that doesn't mean I don't despise the tactic; it only furthers my appreciation for the fact that Gregg Popovich doesn't resort to using it.
.I agree that AJ is now in the same boat as Ray Allen & George Karl. The whining little was supposed to have more class than this. Guess you can only hang around with Cuban for so long till you act just like him. AJ & Cuban!!!
Well, you know what they say. "Lay with dogs and you'll get fleas".
The utility of tactics like that, I suspect, is part of the reason that so many seem to think that NBA officials are corrupt.
I don't buy it, but then again, I think it's always weak to complain about officiating.
Revisionist history at its finest.
Spurs fans are a rare breed. Once a player leaves the team, regardless of how, then he is . He contributed nothing when he was a Spur. He was overrated. Our current Spurs are so much better, etc. SA is such a homerific orgy sometimes.
I'll ask again...someone direct me to Avery's whining....
Well, you know what they say. "Lay with dogs and you'll get fleas".
I've heard one statement about the "bearhug defense" and it didn't sound like whining to me...maybe I missed something that would've caused this bourd to turn on AJ???
I'll let whottt spew his hatred during this series.
F AJ.
Man, so ing what if AJ is trying to draw attention to Bowen's D to influence the refs? You know AJ would kill to have a Bruce Bowen on his team, much like George Karl wouldn't have had a problem if Manu was suiting up for his Nuggets. It's a part of the game, deal with it.
Yeah, just think what would have happend if we had signed C-Webb and Robinson had gone to the Knicks.
DRob would have been that backstabbing traitor whose greed drove him to NYC.
Are you talking to me, or just in general (no pun intended)? Because I don't hate AJ ... was just being a smartass.
In general...I've seen and heard this...Are you talking to me, or just in general (no pun intended). Because I don't hate AJ ... was just being a smartass.
"It's what you call bear-hug defense," Johnson said. "That's the new NBA rule. I've got to try to simulate a drill to help him in what you call that bear-hug defense."
Is that ALL that has caused all the talk about AJ whining???
No, a lot of that runs waaaay more deeply than what has happened recently. This is a pretty old (yet still entertaining) argument.
No, this is about the fact that if we had had Damon Stoudemire instead of AJ at the point, David Robinson would have six more championships.
Must ... not ... laugh ... at .... whottt ... getting .... owned.
