Rockets gaining on Mavs, Spurs in Southwest Division

[Holt's Cat]

I laugh in the face of all the arrogance in this thread. You know deep down you fear the rockets, so all you can say is frances dribbles alot and the injuries and they can't get out of the first round.

we shall see es, we shall see.

I laugh at the Rockets fans of the internets who are creaming themselves over picking up a couple of the Spurs' table scraps and a 2nd Steve Francis stint. Sorry if the Rockets aren't penciled in as the '08 NBA Champs in this forum.

[url]San Antonio Spurs
What Went Right:

• There is both an "I" and a "me" in this team.
Signing Ime Udoka was one of those low-wattage moves, in terms of flash and dash, at which the Spurs excel. He is the backup shark's tooth, ready to move into place whenever Bruce Bowen transitions out. Udoka is aggressive, defends well and can hit three-pointers.

• They got themselves a desperate housewife.
Maybe some of the spotlight and paparazzi-stalking will abate now that Tony Parker and Eva Longoria officially are husband and wife. Until, of course, she runs out of the stands and gives one of those leaping, legs-wrapped monkey hugs that we saw at the end of the Finals to, oh, Jeff Van Gundy. You know, the kind Van Gundy once gave to Alonzo Mourning.

What Went Wrong:

• This eye of Texas hurts like .
Big man Francisco Elson got elbowed in the left eye while playing for the Dutch national team in August, suffering a facial fracture that will force him to play in a Rip Hamilton mask all season. Bad as it was, this still ranks as Elson's second-most-painful on-court blow, lagging behind the rabbit punch Kevin Garnett gave to Elson's groin in the 2004 playoffs.

• Tony Parker had a working honeymoon/vacation.
Parker played for the French national team again, which had San Antonio's brain trust fretting about injuries or fatique. He sprained his left ankle and sought treatment back in San Antonio in early August, but he's playing in the European Championships that began this week.

• Luis Scola got away. So did Jackie Butler.
Admit it, you were as surprised as we were that San Antonio not only didn't hang onto Scola, the ready-to-go Argentine power forward, but also that Scola wound up being dealt to intradivision rival Houston. The 5XL Butler went along with him. Butler has the size and raw ability to make someone pay one of these days.

• They lost P.J. Carlesimo.
It was with Gregg Popovich's blessing, of course, that Carlesimo will get his third chance as an NBA head coach and first since he attacked Latrell Sprewell's hands with his neck. But Carlesimo gave the Spurs a second head coach, as needed, and the pecking order of Popovich's staff will shake out over the first month or two.

Grade: B-

Eva is so much bigger than the Spurs she gets her own section in their offseason analysis.

Of course, how will the dwindling ratings of Desperate Housewives affect Tim Duncan's free throw percentage?

Dammitt Suns Fan Shut Up Your Still Saying This Stupid .....get Over It!!

I am a boring, one-trick pony troll

Fixed.

[Soul_Patch]

lol...Da_Suns_Fan has been lurking for the past 3 weeks waiting for this opportunity to bring out the eva smack again.


congrats!

[The Franchise]

Hate on the Rockets now. When the season starts lets see how long that lasts when the Rockets start stepping on some necks with our "scrubs".

[The Franchise]

You don't have to admit you fear the Rockets, but we know your thinking about us because there are to many threads dedicated to our offseason to say otherwise.

[da_suns_fan__]

FindDog is actually very grateful Im here.

It allows him to ally himself with Spurs fans. He's hoping eventually you all might stop making fun of the Mavericks for choking two years in a row.



Guess Im a "two-trick" pony.

Spurs are boring - check
Suns get good tv ratings - check

Yes, you're right, you ARE a two-trick pony.

What about my Eva rhetoric?

And the "Mavs are wimps who choke every year"?

And the "Suns need to save basketball"?

Give credit where its due. These are some of my signature arguments!

[SenorSpur]

Be careful Houston fans,

Don't delude yourselves into thinking that Steve Francis is a changed player and that he will improve your ball club.

The fact is any team with Francis in the backcourt is destined for underachievement.

[Findog]

What about Eva?

This is a basketball forum, not a Desperate Housewives forum.

And the Mavs are wimps who choke every year?

God, that really makes the Suns pathetic then, since they can't even make it to a Finals or beat the Spurs to save their lives.

And the Suns are saving basketball?

Because ESPN rides Steve Nash's ? I don't think so.

The best trolls are entertaining, hilarious and constantly evolve. See SpursDynasty for an example. You get a decent amount of responses, but that's only because a fair amount of the Spurs' fanbase is mouthbreating Pavlovian dogs that respond to the slightest provocation. You really suck as a troll. The Spurs are boring/Suns get good ratings was probably good for a thread or two, but you really do need to come up with new material. Just some friendly advice. SpursDynasty consistently brings the funny and the nutty. PM him for some pointers.

You ...Ive never seen a poster gloss another poster like that in my entire life.

btw - You are the weakest member on this forum. Youre like a some bizarre post-WWII Nazi whos willing to admit that everything he once stood for is wrong yet he's STILL secretly hoping Der Fuer will lead the motherland to victory.

So keep working so hard to maintain the respect of the Spurs community. But don't fool yourself. They still laugh at you. No one has forgotten about how you ran your mouth off about the Mavs for a year.

Boy do you look stupid.

No, you would be the weakest member of the forum. You're lower than even SpursDynasty. I'm a Mavs fan. I'll always be a Mavs fan. I post here because a large % of the Spurs fanbase are knowledgeable about hoops. That's what happens when it's a one-team town and that team has missed the playoffs something like 4 out of 30 years. Most Mavs fans are 14 yr old girls in pink Josh Howard jerseys that don't know basketball existed before 2000.

So keep working so hard to maintain the respect of the Spurs community. But don't fool yourself. They still laugh at you. No one has forgotten about how you ran your mouth off about the Mavs for a year.

I get respect from other knowledgable hoops fans because I know my stuff, no matter who I root for, no matter who they root for. The Jim Rome smack talk I'll leave to the shallow end of the pool, where you reside. I didn't "run my mouth off" about the Mavs for a year, that would be the Mavs trolls that didn't have the guts to show their faces around here after Golden State.

Now, go back on the porch with all the other young padawans, pup. Maybe one day you'll be as good of a troll as SpursDynasty.

If Francis gets outta hand, then we'll just play Bonzi..and we all know how you Spurs like to play against the Bonz! LOL

You had no problems accusing Kobe Bryant of being gay in hateful manner. That must have been before you saw "Brokeback", huh?

One minute youre glossing SpursDynasty to no end and the next youre telling me Im even "lower" than Spurs Dynasty.

This is why you suck.

btw - Thanks for claiming that you didn't run your mouth off for a year.....Im happy to expose you. A simple query of threads started by you reveals the following:

Second, there was nothing hateful in that post.

Wow, how long did that take to pull up with your mommy's dialup connection?

1. That's a funny pic of Kobe and Mihm. Nothing more, nothing less.

2. I like to engage Spurs trolls and rile them up. If I say Dirk > Duncan, that is clearly facetious.

3. The "ranting" about the Mavs was meant to be a joke. Of course it goes over your head.

4. Mavs > Suns over the past 3 years. You have any proof otherwise? Oh, right you beat Kobe, Lamar Odom's bum shoulder and 10 D-Leaguers. Congrats, I'm really impressed.

Find me the accusatory or hateful part. Implications are made, but nothing more. Just something to have a laugh at unless you're desperate to "incriminate" someone with incredibly flimsy "evidence".

the fact that you'd actually go searching months-old posts of his shows just what a pathetic re you are.

1. Kobe's not gay, it's a funny picture. In addition to being obtuse, you're humorless too.

2. There are trolls here and serious posters. Serious posters get serious replies, trolls get mocking scorn. Guess which category you fall under.

3. "When you mess with the blue and green, you call down the thunder." That doesn't strike you as over the top?

4. Suns can't beat the Spurs, Suns can't make it to the Finals. Two things Dallas has done. The Suns are good for 60 regular season wins and a beatdown at the end to San Antonio or Dallas, until they prove otherwise.
