Go ahead dude I am listening.
That is what I am saying.
well said FWD.
Go ahead dude I am listening.
Close, but not yet.
Does my wisdom show that well?
Just read what I wrote in every post in this thread and get back to me.
That is why the other team has a bench!!!! I am not going to sit here and watch Allen get healthy so they can get back in it and still talk bad about Bowen. Wether he is playing or not. I don't care as long as we put away the wounded one and PRESS ON!!!!!!
I'm fairly certain that Allen will be back. But if he doesn't come back, then there's a chance that the Spurs won't respect a "wounded" Sonic team (that was what I was alluding to earlier).
Am I going overboard on this Dog .What do you think
I get where you're coming from - the Spurs need that Killer Instinct. I can't help thinking back to the 2003 Dallas series where we lost that game (or was it two?) WITHOUT Dirk in the line-up. That's what scares me about a wounded Sonics team - without a leading scorer, there's less predictability on the offense, and if the 3's start going in...
So, I'm not "excited" that Ray Allen is hurt. It doesn't mean anything. Spurs need to beat this team, with or without Allen in the line-up.
On that, I think we all agree!
The sooner the Spurs beat this team the better. Whatever helps do that is great. Too bad about injuries, but why do you think the Spurs are #2 seed anyway? Rest for the still injured will do more good than building confidence at this point.
Right On Man, This is what I am talking about.
I guess I'm not ever going to be happy about injuries because I've had my heart broken too many times by injuries to Spurs players -- injuries that cost my team the chance to compete at the highest level it could. I remember those heartbreaks and think about fans in Seattle who might be facing that reality. I think of it this way: there but for the grace of God go the Spurs. Just as Radmanovic may be done for the series, a similar fate could befall any of the key Spurs.
There's little you can do about injuries, and certainly the Spurs should do what they can to take advantage of the injuries, but as a fan of the game who tries to see things somewhat objectively, I hate that injuries happen in the playoffs. Plus, we're dealing with human beings here -- guys who have worked very, very hard to get to where they are and who deserve a chance to be tested at full strength.
I want Allen and Radmanovic to get better because I want there to be no excuses going either way. I also feel for fans of other teams whose chances are diminished by key injuries.
As for the argument concerning Seattle's bench: there's a reason those guys are on Seattle's bench, and it's not because they are the kinds of guys who carry teams to les. They are complimentary players who function best within the right scheme, surrounded by the right players. That Seattle has a bench doesn't mean that their team is at its best when those guys are forced to play outside of the roles that suit them best.
I didn't think Radmanovic would play another game in the series. Ray Allen should be back tomorrow if he isn't a pussy.
yeah its happened to us big time this year. we also felt it when tim went down and we lost to the suns 2000.
He got hurt in game 4 about in the 4th quarter and the Spurs were already up by about 12 or 14.I was disappointed that Dirk got hurt in 2003, even though it eventually helped my team
The Spurs were gonna beat the Mavericks WITH or WITHOUT Nowitzki.
The Sonics are injured??
Being the fan of a team that had their best player injured for about a month, and other players missing almost as much, I feel zippity do dah.
Things GayRay blames Bowen for:
the slow healing process
Pretty bold statement there, TPark, particularly in light of the fact that the Mavericks, without Dirk, managed to win Game 5 and had a significant 4th quarter lead in Game 6. Who knows what would have happened had Dirk played in either game, but the point is that Dallas couldn't have been at full strength without it's best player (much as the Spurs were not at full strength without their their best player (or instrumental players) at various points in 2002, 2000, 1992, and 1976).
TPark talks out of his ass more than any single person in the history of the forum.
This is precisely why I want the Sonics to be at full strengh, I do not want anyone yrs from now thinking that SA would not have won the championship had it not been for Ray's and Rad's injuries.
TPark, we did not exactly blow Dallas away in that series, it was close enough that had they had a 100% healthy Dirk, they might have turned that series around. They did come back from the dead this past week against Houston, yes???
I am tired of all the "asterisks" involved with the Spurs' wins...I want to have 1 championship where SA beat all comers at full strength w/o anyone questioning the validity of their championship.
We have used injuries as excuses in here, so why can't other team's fans???
How can any of you have any sense of empathy for any team that's trying to beat us?! I say you go for the kill whether they're healthy or not. Jimcs, this
Spurs is battled tested. I 'm pretty sure you know the Spurs have a few players with a lot of championship experience--so why in the world would you think this team will need any more "toughing up?" As far as sonix fans go, I could care less what they say or how they feel. Do any of you honestly think they would show the same type of compassion if one of our guys went down? I think not. If POP could here some of this , he would call some of you out for being soft!!!!
