i think we're all just surprised not insulted. it's been one game in which the spurs actually won but the guy changed his mind? on the reasoning that williams will be the savior even though he's averaged 15-20 points in the regular season matchups? it just came out of left field.
Well he better do something, because he wasn't doing jack in game 1. I was actually pleasently suprised to see Bowen as not much of a factor. I'm also very excited for game 2, I'm smelling some overconfidence coming from Spurs fans and I hope it's cascading over to their team as well.
Either way, I won't panic until the Jazz lose a home game. Fight like for a game 7 and in IMO, anything can happen at that point.
Pretty much Pop will probably wait and see how Parker does on him and if he is going off then he will put Bruce on him and he will have a much tougher night.
I think since the ESPN crew of Anthony, Legler, Smith etc are trying to jinx the Spurs, Barkely saw right through and applied a counter-jinx.
i was shocked when he said that...hes been on the spurs nuts these past years...thats bs sayin that boozer and duncan canceling out....hes to hard headed to realize tim duncan is the best to play his position..spurs need to put bowen or manu on willams all game...but he is right about okur..hes key...only shot i think 3-15 last game
On Around the Horn, the Tony Reali show, whatever its called, one guy picked a Spurs sweep and the other three picked Spurs in five.
Just last week on Jim Rome he was saying he picks the Spurs to win it all. Don't know what Charles is thinking. Prolly just clownin, although coming off as seeming serious. He's opinionated, but I never thought he was a dumb ass.
Calm down. Didn't ya'll hear Manu on one of the postgame shows telling his guy Charles to continue going with the other team in his predictions since he's been on a bad prediction streak recently
Who did Kenny Smith pick?
I want whatever chuck is somking. Anyway, when ever are the Spurs given the respect the deserve? This is just one of many idiotic comments sir chuckster makes so I wouldn't wad my panties over it.
Unless they're wet or need washing?
Williams will get checked by Bowen, Chuck. Don't be stupid as a result of your bitterness for the Spurs pulling out Game 5 in Phoenix, which you guaranteed Phoenix would win. He's just being a big sourpuss. H
Kenny and Magic both picked the Spurs. Magic even admitted that he was wrong in picking the Nuggets. Ernie said that Chuck would regret switching over to the Jazz.
Barkley said on radio in the past that he doesn't give a who wins. He just speaks his mind.
He'll jump back on soon enough.
Yeah, Kenny has picked Houston and Warriors so far, he REALLY hates the Jazz and can't find anything good to say, so it all balances out. They both have no clue. Nonetheless, as I've said before, I hope your fanbase rubs off on the team -- keep overlooking the lowly jazz. And for the record, DW cancels Parker, TD has an edge on Booze rollling, so its up to everyone else to make the real difference. Me no think Elson and Oberto got that all series, fer instance.
Charles is just trying to distract us all from his serious man-crush on Manu.
Duncan and Boozer will never even out. Boozer ing allowed Fabs to score 14 points.Duncan controls the paint on D.
Didn't he pick PHO? I know he picked Dallas and stayed with the Cuban anic gang...
The Jazz had no answer for Baron Davis. The Suns had no answer for Kobe Bryant. One guy can't win a series. The biggest thing the Chuckster lost his mind about is thinking that Carlos Boozer equals out with Tim Duncan. Boozer is faster than Yao Ming, and he had his way against a team without any real big men. The only way he matches up with Duncan is if Tim gets into foul trouble and is sitting on the bench. Boozer is a good player, but he isn't one of the top 3 players in the league. Tim is. Day in and day out, Duncan will school Boozer.
Williams' numbers in that second half were way above his season stats. Barkley can't believe that the Spurs are less suited to defend him than the rest of the league. He just didn't think it through. Williams is a great young player, but he isn't going to single-handedly "own" the Spurs defense. Even if Barkley turns out to be right (I don't think so), it won't be for that reason.
But besides all that...c'mon, does anybody really think the Spurs' huge lead had nothing to do with it?
yes. we have extreme homers.
boozer? yeah, i'd love to see him on the spurs but don't be mentioning him in the same breath as timmy d.
The Jazz really outplayed the Spurs only in the last 5 minutes of the game and that was after the Spurs had already mailed it in.
I'll buy that. But the Jazz have NOTHING that looks like Manu Ginobili.And for the record, DW cancels Parker, TD has an edge on Booze rollling, so its up to everyone else to make the real difference.
I like Chuck. If nothing else, he makes me laugh. And I think he realizes that this is the case for a lot of people. I tend to try to discern which of the things that comes out of his mouth to take seriously and which to dismiss. I laugh at most all of them though, haha.
I picked Spurs in 7 for vbookie...and I wish I would've picked 6. But I still have hope for my pick and think the Jazz will rebound nicely in Game 2.
Of course, it goes without saying that I would prefer the Spurs win in 4
because who basically choked? Houston? no,not really, The Jazz were -clearly- the better team in that series, they led through the third quarter in -every- game, the three games in Houston they lost they let it slip through their hands in the fourth, the games in Utah werent even close, believe me....Houston didnt choke
If a series goes 7 games neither team is clearly the better team, a series does not go 7 if that is the case.
I know. Chuck, is just trying to make things interesting, his argument is so loose. Boozer < Duncan. No way do they cancel out. Tp Deron will impact equally. AK can't guard Manu.
He's basically overlooking the fact that Manu is crazily unquantifiable. He's only going to get more insane with each passing game.
Same here. I picked the Spurs to win in 5, but now that Chuck made this ballsy prediction. The only thing that'll make him eat more crow, is if the Spurs sweep the jazz with a convincing fashion.
