roaches??

OMG - I wonder if this is why they played La Cucaracha in the arena right before the game started. It seemed so completely random, but it makes sense if game ops was responding to what Charles said.

That's awesome.

I know Charles Barkley said this awhile back now but it seems its been catchin on. How he describes the defending Champions as roaches. Im a really big Spurs fan, and i dont only find this offensive beacuse im a homer, but if thats the best way to describe championship resilliancy then that is disrespectful and a disgrace.

did they ever call Russells Celtics roaches?
did they ever call Jordans Bulls roaches?
did they ever call Shaq's Lakers (yes shaq's lakers) roaches?

of course not. but they call this generations modern dynasty roaches?
i know it some form of analogy, but is that how you describe the most classiest champions in the NBA?

I hear what you're saying, but you must consider Charles Barkley's background and sorely lacking intelligence. He's one of those types that speaks without thinking and, sadly, many people seem to be finding that cool. Sad state of affairs.

Bottom line is a pretty dumb guy made that statement.

Barkley is an idiot

You guys are funny...Barkley has been a closet Spurs fan for years and now that Kenny has come around he has switched...thats why those guys are so much fun to watch...I'd love to actually watch the live feed...I'll bet theres some really great gets said while we are watching commercials...

i understand what youre saying, but i just feel that that its a poor way to describe a very prideful and compe ve team such as the spurs. would they call the celtics/lakers roaches?

i dont think so

yeah but you gotta remember, the Spurs have been the underdogs all during the playoffs. Everyone wants to see the Spurs out. Well, except for us...you couldn't call LA or Boston roaches cuz everyone's riding their nuts.

I was going to say the same thing but wanted to read through the whole topic to make sure no one else didn't say it. I tried to look down to see Charles' reaction (the TNT set is right below my seats) but the TNT guys scampered off set super quick before the song was played. The TNT guys were pretty cool with everyone in the section though. Barkley interacted with the guy in the front row of the section... that was the jersey he was holding up and joking around with during the halftime show. What all did he say about it? We couldn't hear them but we could see him holding it up on camera and laughing, etc.

Is this thread for real, do your pussies really hurt that bad when a commentator (a ty one at that) calls you names? cry much? For a team and fanbase that are supposed to be so tough, you couldn't tell by threads like this.
