No one was inflamed over his post where he thought the majority of Argentenians were Latino. The only one opening a can of worms was you but fortunately all posters with the exception of you were easily able to differentiate between an honest mistake and a comment that was made with the intention of disparaging someone's race or ethnicity and therefore there was no controversy.

If you consider me calling you out on your misguided notion that a "can of worms had been opened" picking a fight then add overly sensitive to the raised dander.

Post more thoughtfully and less provacatively and you'll find the dialogue will be much more civilized. <shrugs>

OMG! What in the are you rambling on about? Nevermind. You're not worth my time.

The pistons are falling apart.

The pistons are falling apart.

Pistons are playing pretty poorly lately.

As much as they're "falling apart," how do they still even have the best record in the league?

Strange.

The pistons are falling apart.

The Pistons were 9-8 in March last year. They continued to "Fall apart" to the Finals where they came a few points short of B2B les. Every team has highs and lows in a season. I would much rather they have their "low" point right now, instead of in May. They are fighting complacency, as are the Spurs. The Mavs are in a different situation. They have never done anything in the playoffs, so winning regular season games is the only thing they can do to prove they're legit.

[mavsfan1000]

That is pure bull about the mavs are in a different situation. The pistons and spurs both want to win games but they just aren't good enough right now. Shooting slumps can do that. They both are getting too much credit while the mavs aren't getting enough.

I understand how you feel and the only real way to take care of the problem about not getting enough credit will be to at least make it to the Finals.
I think we both know it's not how you start, not even how you do in the regular season, but how you finish.

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas joined the Jermaine O'Neal club Thursday, telling ESPN that he'd like to see the 49-11 Pistons in the first round of the playoffs.

The Pacers' O'Neal made his proclamation last month.

They must have really nice fishing spots reserved and don't want to be charged for cancelation fees.

And she exits as she enters with all of the grace and aplomb of a bull in a china shop.

I realize youre from Argentina, but uhhhh...

No offense...youre Latino, not caucasian. Sorry.

ignorant statement of the year

And the can of worms gets opened once again.

P.S. Don't worry Spurschick, the rest of us understood what you were referring to.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Actually, upwards to 92% of Argentinians are of Italian ancestry, thus Euro or caucasian ethnicity, not Latino or hispanic classification.

Argentinians for the most part are caucasian, not Latino.

I see at least someone bothered to broaden their horizon

I figured that, which is why I didn't continue. Thanks for having my back!

Hey Mr. Argentinian (sp?)

You took the US once...it is not like we ran a train on your asses the past 10-15 years

Once? count again.

that wasn't the point I was trying to make my point was that although he claimed he had never seen an all-white team in his life, he probably saw Argentina play the US in the Olympics. I'm quite aware of the history between the US and Argentina in basketball, I'm not stupid.

[cheguevara]
