Excellent. Maybe George and the Nuggets will pick up this mantra and throw JR under the bus. It will certainly set the ball rolling for complete implosion next year.
Yeah, I could see AI maybe going Randy Moss for one last shot at a ring.

I too am glad the trade did not happen. Smith has way too many tattoos to blend with the Spurs, and, more importantly, makes dumb mistakes.

Hmm, too many tattoos and dumb mistakes?
Veritably so. I heartily concur.
If you want to understand why this article sucks, just watch Around the Horn. Woody Paige is a senile old man, who on top of having horrible opinions, appears to be losing his hearing as well. Not someone worth listening to.
Agreed 100%.
So the Nugget writers are pimping the great youth and athleticism on their team but ting on their youngest and arguably most athletic player.
This makes perfect sense.
All this finger pointing can't be good for team chemistry. Not just for Smith, but the whole locker room. The nugs seem to be talking up how they are still confident of being able to come back "we're not the same team as 2005 blah blah", but if they've resorted to turning on one another, the end is nigh.
In 2006 playoffs, after game 7 with mavs, at the press conference no one from the spurs blamed manu..at least they did not say it.. except of course manu blamed it on himself...
but after game 3, AI and Melo and Karl emphasized on the Smith's turnover and his flagrant foul on Manu.....they were pretty much blaming it on him..
Yeah, I was thinking, "...wow I'm glad the SA media doesn't play that blame game. (At least not so ostensibly.)" I was surprised that other Sports Cities call out other players on their teams for a mental lapse that wasn't EVEN a game-DECIDING play. I'd understand if it was a up at the last second, but this at worst was just a game changing play. They just got outplayed. The writer is giving Denver the impression that the Nuggets aren't the underdogs., so whatever.
I know and can tell, when San Antonio is playing to win and will grind it out, and there was no doubt that we were going to execute in the last two games to be on top. And we're only gonna get better at getting the wins with each game. So it's very funny to read the opposing team's articles, because it's a glimpse of delusion.
Of course, they would allude to it, but overall, they didn't throw him under the bus for it.
Manu ed up, but at least we know we just have to get back up and keep playing. I'm hoping Manu uses his up for redemption and vindication in the post-season. He's gonna have one 2005 Manu-esque game at some point.
Damn you guys are cow-towners.
I didn't think Woody's column was particularly compelling, but any column writer has this kind of gramatical freedom.
It's entertaining to see how fascinated Spurs fans are with a big city paper.
We are fascinated by that fact "big city" writers can be so petty and amateurish.
Huh? Well, if they weren't all of the Denver Newspaper threads wouldn't exist, hence the purpose.
What do you expect? Something boring about how good the Spurs are?
"Big City" adequacy.What do you expect?
And what does that mean?
Exactly.
I think his second paragraph was much worse...
By the time Smith's awful inbound pass was stolen by Robert Horry, who made a three-pointer, and Smith stole the ball and ludicrously didn't pass off to Iverson on the wing for an easy shot and had his own rejected by Horry, and Smith knocked down Iverson and fell over him, leaving the Spurs with an open three-point shot at the other end, and after Smith made a three-point play, but then missed a three-pointer and committed a flagrant foul at the other end on Ginobili, the Nuggets were down 77-67, and the foamy crowd became a fuming crowd. <<
He wrote that all in one sentence, ladies and germs. Is the paper suffering through some kind of editor strike or something? I'm starting to feel more hopeful about my chances of becoming a professional writer by the day. Woody's an idiot and I can't believe he still thinks Mike Vick's a great player.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Is this great journalism?
What a snoozer with no flow.
Right, no hundred-word sentences.
Ok, I exaggerated.
Woody's sentence only had 99 words.
When not counting hyphenated words.
cherry picking sports writers is too easy, save the effort.
Yeah, we just got running water the other day.
