It's amusing to hear people talk about Kawhi's brain, LMA's heart, and Pau's courage like they're characters from the Wizard of OZ.

Anyone else not like Pau's body language tonight?

Pau is an old dude and he can't bring the intensity every night. Manu is also old, but has an entirely different mindset.

I think though, both take it easy when they know that its going to be a easy win. It is just so much more obvious with Pau.

I mostly just lurk due to time constraints, now, but was watching that play develop and was interested to see if anyone would execute. Of course it was the writer Good travels BMc.

Cheers man.

Oh, man, you were doing so good. I don't remember if you were around back then or not. But go back and read ANY thread from that time, and people were excited. I probably read "We Stacked!!!" a hundred times. Don't start with the revisionist shtick unless you're one of HarlemHeat's alts.

My point was that people were so excited to have another AllStar coming to the roster that they probably wouldn't have noticed some story about a once-upon-a-time heart thingy. If the story was out there, it got drowned in all the excitement. That much is just fact, regardless of how you felt about LMA that summer.

I've been around much longer than that. And I grasped your current point. "It's happening!" "He's coming!" Would have drowned out any mention of a "heart thingy."

No revisionism. Certainly no HH! . ceperez was never on board. But I don't recall your being on board, either. Advocated re-tooling, as I advocated a "mini-tank."

LMAO. Just to be clear - we still had Tim Duncan who had played GREAT the year before. We got LaMarcus Aldridge. West gave up $10M or whatever to come here, and we thought he would be better. I had been calling for the Spurs to sign Boban, and they did. And you're claiming that I was calling for the Spurs to Tank? That's just too stupid for words.

You go back and find ANY post I made about re-building last year, and then you post it. Until then, you're just a lightweight whiny that has to make up when you get your panties in a bind. Not joking. You find a single post to back up that stupid , or get yourself some ing Midol and come back when you're not feeling so hormonal.

Put up or shut up, Nancy.

I knew about it from his Portland days. I knew good and well that he had a heart issue and the Spurs would have too. I didn't have a problem with signing him because of it. For him to have been playing at a high level after coming back from it, I thought that showed toughness and heart (no pun intended), so I didn't have any problem with it whatsoever.

"Did someone say brick?"

lol. I found that funny, but then I realized that he can't hit these days. F$%^, this guy can't shoot for .

I'm not whining or calling names, friend. And I'm not sure why you are. The initial issue was whether the clamor over LMA's successful recruitment by the Spurs would have drowned out news of any "heart thingy." You are right, it would have.

The next issue was whether there were any ST posters who, nonetheless, were not totally behind the LMA signing. Some posters thought that was delaying a rebuild, and sooner would be better. I was one, and I know ceperez was one. I thought you were also less than enamored with the signing. If I was mistaken, I was honestly mistaken. Have a snickers.

I'll tell you the same thing I told the other (assuming you aren't the same person). It's a simple formula - don't make up and claim I said it.

It's really not that hard to understand.
