Hopefully Cuban will up and let AJ go. Nothing would be sweeter than seeing Pop retire and new Spurs head coach Avery Johnson taking the helm.
By the way, I do like Avery Johnson and I am hoping that he succeeds as a head coach. I think Cuban is just calling negative attention to his organization. There is always a perceived bias when your team does not have one of the "marquee" or "it" players ie. (Shaq, Kobe, Iverson, and very soon LaBron) He was pissed indeed.

He does seem genuine in this commentary. I know he'll get better, just wanted to post. And I will cut him some slack.Let's cut the guy some slack. This is his first Pacers game as a broadcaster. Tuesday was his first night broadcasting, period. I met Reggie once, back in 1994. He is a very funny and genuine person from what I can tell from the last 18 years or so. Obviously, I am way biased, but I have a high enough opinion of myself not to identify with a nebbish.
Now that would be GREAT!!!!!!!!
GinoooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOObli!!!
For the guy who mentioned Reggie as ultimate homer, tonite he has been, but how much of a pacer homer can you be if you say Detroit will win the east over them bc indiana has no chemistry?
I love kenny smith. I think he's funnier then Barkely. Barkley IMO is just a moron that speaks his mind. He HAS to be a jessica simpson type that plays dumb because he can't be that slow minded. I hate cuban too, but i agree somewhat with both.
Cuban doesn't know basketball, i don't think he really claims too. Its like politics. If i state that abortions spread AIDS at a highter rate, its just an opinion even if i state it like a fact. But if somone crunched all the stats a million different ways and said otherwise, i'd look the fool.
Cuban is depending on what his people say. I'm SURE that his people aren't telling him to get the team they have now though either.
I did not say he was the ultimate homer. I said he had a bad case of "homeritis" in a current sense; however, I quantified by using a qualifier "right now". He can't be the ultimate homer if there is hope for him to change or in this case present less bias in his commentary for the Pacers. At least a little bit from where his currently is. But I do get your point.
Barkley sucks, he has more bias than Bill Walton.....he has no idea, just coz he was a good player doesnt mean he can be a good commentator.......
the round mound of crap is more like it
That settles it...I'm getting a DVR TOMORROW!!!
You don't have it yet? It's 2006!!!
I bet you don't have a DVD player yet!!
hehehe
That was classic. Cuban's a dumbass. If he tries to get in a trash talk fest with Barkley and Kenny he'll get smoked.if Cuban knew basketball he wouldn't have put together that soft team
what were kenny and charles saying to cubain in retaliation??
barkley knows exactly what he is talking about, especially when he talks about basketball. inside the nba is entertainment more than a by the numbers highlight show, and barkley is playing to the crowd. if you have ever seen him guesting on pti or even heard him on the rome show or anything like that, he has plenty of basketball insight. if you missed his take on the dress code today on pti, he and wilbon have come up with the most well reasoned support for it. that's hardly surprising since wilbon has ghost written barkley's books, but regardless he is not all about dissing people by any means. he speaks his mind, and most of the time his barbs are in good fun and hilarious.
Ill trust the opinions of Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley WAYYY before Stephen A Smith, Greg Anthony and Mark Cuba.
Smith and Barkley were winners.
Barkley never won a ring. Smith was once called "The most gutless player I've ever seen" by his coach in Sacto, Motta.
LMAO at your pic. When did that happen?
Kenny was REALLY upset. you could see he wanted to say something but kept a level head.
hahahahahaha.
Well done TNT. yourself Cuban.
haha i believe this past season (2004-2005) if im not mistaken. i HATE wally szerbiak!!!
and for the 100000000000000000th time, what did charles and kenny say in RETALIATION! can anyone give the rest of us the jist of it?
yeah because the spurs are so cheap they need to fire pop because he is to expensive for the spurs
and pj sucks
I apologise now for digressing on this thread; but, Reggie Miller has a bad case of “homeritis” that he just can’t shake right now. I hope his opinions (commentary) gets better as the season goes along.
Sean Elliot was kind of the same way too his first year broadcasting he got much better after that although I know if he is doing a spurs game he is still very biased. That said Miller is not very good at broadcasting and looks stupid so far.
You don't have it yet? It's 2006!!!
I bet you don't have a DVD player yet!!
hehehe
No, I actually have had a DVD recorder for about a year now and still don't know how to work it.
Kenny really didnt say much, he tried to keep as calm as possible, he was just saying Charles won MVP awards etc and he (Kenny) won championships, so he thinks they might know a thing or two about bball.
But you know Charles....his mouth has no limit, he bashed Cuban by saying if he lived to be 1000 years old he wouldnt as much about bball as they did, and he already forgot more about bball than Cuban ever knew, and if Cuban knew about bball he wouldnt have put together that soft team in Dallas.
the truth hurts for _allas Mavs. Dampier has to be one of the gayest big men in the NBA.
The West looks like its the SPURS & ROCKETS. Aren't we lucky here in Texas!
Barkley never won a ring because look at the teams that surrounded him.Barkley never won a ring. Smith was once called "The most gutless player I've ever seen" by his coach in Sacto, Motta.
Phoenix they went up against Michael Jordan, nuff said.
Houston teams had Matt Maloney as their starting point guard, nuff said.
Kenny Smith was one of the main reasons the Rockets were in the Finals, and won the 2 rings with his outside shooting, especially in 94 95 setting the RECORD for 3 pointers MADE!!!!
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley crapped more basketball knowledge than Marc Cuban.
Sean Elliot was kind of the same way too his first year broadcasting he got much better after that although I know if he is doing a spurs game he is still very biased.
At times, he can be slightly homerish, but hes on a Spurs broadcast so who cares.
Reggie Miller on the other hand is ona NATIONAL broadcast.
When Elliott was at ESPN for a short time, especially in 02 03, he was objective.
in 03 04 he said the Lakers were a better team, and he was right.
