If Karl is Slovenian then it's his call and I should not have called him on it.
As for MB I've been around the forum long enough not to take him seriously or to think that anybody really pays attention to his hate induced posts. I don't take it seriously at all but have always had problems when somebody labels whole nations/ethnic/religious groups.
Me I'm fair game, but my country is not - think how you guys feel when ignorant foreigners make fun of the USA based on some stupid stereotypes.
I guess I reacted more to Karl finding it funny than MB original post, I've learned to ignore those.
Well i'm a slovenian and i it was funny to me, i enjoyed the pictures from mb and lonelyplanet link from another thread, i was amazed that i didn't know much of the stuff that was there.Don't know about the others, but for me most of his statements are true (khmm... s of elephants....khmm)
Now now, bugalug. I haven't seen such angst in yonks. The way we Kiwis settle things is with a friendly match. You game?
Thispeg- really like that Macho Nesterovic . However, is Rasho not doing exactly what Pop wants him to do??
I am Slovenian and i don't care if he uses it as a pin-cushion to attach jokes to, when they're funny anyway. It's how most humour works. You can joke about blondes without taking them literally can't you. Anyway seems he has taken his time preparing those and he's done it well too.
I would play with you a friendly rugby match any day of the week.Now now, bugalug. I haven't seen such angst in yonks. The way we Kiwis settle things is with a friendly match. You game?
Bring it on.
And twice on week ends.
We just need 14 * 2 = 28 more players. One on one rugby can be very boring . . .
Speak for yourself.
Yeah he is, he is doing exactly what needs to be done. Like someone one on this thread mentioned earlier, he is averaging what? 10 and 7?? I couldn't ask for much else. But does'nt every fan want to see their center slam it down every once in a while??Thispeg- really like that Macho Nesterovic . However, is Rasho not doing exactly what Pop wants him to do??
Keep up the good work Rasho!! By the end of the season I feel he will have earned the name Macho!!
Yes, in a conversation about rugby with you, MB, I would be the only one speaking.
What exactly do you know about the game, Mr. Kiwi?
I can give you names of euro players, that never played in nba or coleague and set up a team that would beat most of nba teams with no problems. First in line would be Dejan Bodiroga - forward (you as a basketball fan probably don't know the name Sequ), Sarunas Jasikevicius - guard (played in Olimpija same as Nesterovich and Udrih), Ginobili also didnt had any nba experience when he came to spurs, Milojevic Dejan - center (all around player, can rebound, score, pass and steal - will be mvp in eu in my opinion), and my favourite Marko Milič - forward (guy made a monster dunk over mazda or honda car, don't remember anymore and got it as a reward, he can score over just about anybody if he wants it, most of baskets he makes are putbacks and alleyups). And i bet you anytime you want, that most euroleage teams would do just fine in nba. I hate to see somebody speak about things he never even seen or done.
I agree about rasho, i remember him dunking a lot more when he played in europe or timberwolves
Euro league teams competing in the NBA? Are you high?
Well, it was going to happen (sort of) this preseason with Utah and CSKA Moscow. There will be more in the future.
I just got here but I'm going to take a wild stab and say that this Sesquispur guy was calling for the head of Pop when he drafted the rights to two out of towners named Parker and Ginobili. , he was probably ready to hang Manu from the closest tree in his rookie season when he was turning the ball over with his zany passing. The bottom line on Beno is this, I think the Spurs organization has proven in the last few years that they know what they're doing when they go scouting overseas. Give Beno a little time.
And as far as the game of Rasho-Basho that is going on 24-7 around here, the guys stats are pretty solid. Certainly as good as they need to be on a team with this much offensive fire power. On top of that he's really stepped up his D ever since getting to SA. And as far as this "no-dunking" nonsense-who the cares? What the Spurs really need out of their center is a big man who can draw a defender away from the basket with a credibly 12-15 foot jumper, which Rasho can do. If nothing else, the Spurs simply need him to play as well as an old ex-Navy guy with a bad back and they can win a championship.
The Spurs need a big man to take the work off of Tim Duncan so he can perform in the playoffs rather than sacrificing his body to cover for Rasho against lottery teams. Rasho should cover for Tim. As for stats, watch a damn game. Rasho looks like he got to the game on the short bus.
I am all about winning. I want to see the best team out on the court. This isn't tryouts my friend. Beno needs experience to be on a team like SA. I think the Spurs could've done better last year and this year at obtaining a backup pg. Seems to me that Pop ran out of options again or has no plan.
A backup point guard and a center might have guaranteed a ring last year.
Hedo, Garcia, Heal... weren't those foreigners? Dude, most foreigner players don't make it in this league. Isn't that safe to say? I know there are more now than in previous years, but Manu was never a nobody. Dude came on the scene in full force. And yes, he did get off to a slow start.
Most americans don't make it either.most foreigner players don't make it in this league. Isn't that safe to say?"Manu = manure"I know there are more now than in previous years, but Manu was never a nobody. Dude came on the scene in full force. And yes, he did get off to a slow start.

Mrs. Chumpdump,
That phrase was coined by the fans in the SBC center during the first 40 games of Manu's rookie season.
I can't take credit for that, but I appreciate it.
You used enough to make it your own.
And you know damn well it ain't Mrs.
Hedo didn't play any worse than an American shooting guard, Garcia got off to a good start before busting the out of his ankle, and Heal...well, not every kernel in the popper pops. Nonetheless, I would put the Spurs draft record up against most any team in the league.
San Antonio 6-1.....yeah dumbass...that's exactly what the Spurs are doing.
Now where is that ignore button?
Whats wrong? Can't you reach?
Prepare to face The Wrath of whottt.
