what do you think the turning point of the game for the heat was


i'd say it was when shaq missed the 2 free throws, then ended up getting the and-one

*granted, he did come right back and brick 2 again

one picture. That is all.

[infinite styles]

AJ blames the time out fiasco on the refs. Priceless.

Sounded to me like he was blaming the player for calling it and not understanding what he was trying to do....but thats me cause I really didn't understand what Avery was trying to do at the postgame?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm not trying to be Avery's agent, moron. Say something intelligent and maybe I'll give you a response that you don't need a ladder to reach for.

So, saying something intelligent like "it was okay for Avery to be an asshole to that guy, because that guy is an asshole and everyone hated him anyway"?

Your defense of Avery only qualifies as intelligent if you have one of a ladder to reach with. Damn dude, look in the mirror. I'm glad he threw you a couple of bones for your beat report, but come on - he was a complete prick to the reporter.

[nbascribe]

It was ing unprofessional what he did. He is acting like the true ass he is and making a reporter feel uncomfortable. If you love Avery, he will be available at home. You should recognize him because he will be rocking Dirk to sleep.

It was bushleague for Eddie to try and get that answer the way he did. You lead the coach in that situation not put him into a mode of questioning. Eddie does that all the time and gets reamed.

That is intelligent and well said.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Whatever Aggie. I'm done talking about it with you. Ain't worth the energy.

Good, let me go work on that edumacation so I can say "intelligent" stuff like 'that guy is an asshole, everyone hates him, so it's okay for Avery to be an asshole to him."

Is that a master's course, or just undergrad?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That guy was from Dallas and is an asshole. Everybody hates his ass.

Yay for intelligence.

[infinite styles]

I think that Nowitzki, Howard & Harris will all be suspended for their intentional, hard foul on Wade at the end of game 5.

I don't understand how Dallas could be such a dirty team.

It is a travesty if they are not all suspended.

I think that the extreme acts of choking were more violent than the foul, but then again thats just my point of view, I'm a Spurs fan...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sweet, we're on a roll.

1. Cuban complains about the officials
2. Avery complains
3. Jason Terry complains
4. Scrub ass Devin Harris complaining now

Who's next? Dirk?

[nbascribe]

Oh and for the record, yeah I like Avery as a person. When I needed a Spur to help get school supplies and stuff together for eastside kids, it was him and DRob who came to my rescue. So yeah I've got a little more admiration for him because he didn't have to do that; even to this day he'll take time out and do things for those kids.

So sue the out of me if I like the fact that as a reporter it's great getting a player who ain't from here to give back to community that only wants a presence. I have yet to get ANY OTHER SPURS PLAYER to do what those two have done.

But that has nothing to do with my job. I just posted that Avery was being an ass about that press conference.

Where are you getting this info. West Coast only feed??

Hold on I need to get a pen and paper to write down the lesson on how to ask a proper question to people in bad situations.

P.S. Why is Darvin Ham such a Dallas homer complaining about the officiating now. He had no problems with it in round 2.

[angel_luv]

Cuban a class act?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


That FSN guy is a comedian.

This just in... said FSN guy's last name is Ham.

I would have guessed Turkey, but whatever.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sorry, #5 is Adrian Griffin, not Dirk. "Games shouldn't end like that."

scribe, like I said, the Avery that was the co-community service champion with Avery is dead. This guy that's up in Dallas now, the one crying like a baby about the officiating for three days straight now is a completely different person from that guy.

I liked the old AJ. Dallas has changed him. Cuban has changed him. And he was a complete asshole to that reporter.

Ever watch Pop rip somebody in press conference? Same happens. You lead in questions. It's the old lawyer trick of examination/cross examination.

Who gives a flying . You react that way = uinprofessional PERIOD. Dude, do you need to take a shower with Avery to cool off. That might be Reporter talk 101, but I don't give a . Avery got off his guard and let his anger control him. That is called displaced anger. Admit Avery was ed in the head at the moment and move on to other things because your intelligence is lacking in this issue

Angel is quick tonight, first jeopardy now turkey.


awwww i feel for howard

[spurfan 21]

josh howard looks like he just cried his ass off. lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fox Sports SW.

#6 Dallas complainer.... Josh Howard whining about the call on Wade. I like Josh, but I'm losing all respect for him right now.

I've never seen a player get 25 FTs like that by himself.

Hey asswipe, your home boy Dirk did it against the Spurs, where were you then?

Let's see, who's left...

Diop
Dampier
Van Horn
Mbenga
Armstrong
Mavs Man.

Haha... NBA statement from Joey Crawford... said Howard asked for the TO TWICE. "We had to call it."

Aggie I never said he hadn't changed as a coach. He had to. Dallas media are a bunch of dweebs outside of Art Garcia, Dwain Price and Newie Scruggs (plus a couple of others). And I've even said that he needs to be professional at times.

But then again we're all expecting him to be professional in his first NBA Finals as a coach. I didn't even have his ass winning the COY trophy. Thought that Mike Brown deserved it more.

But again Aggie, unless you guys have seen this, you don't understand. You think Avery's an ass, try dealing with Pop game in and game out when they lose. He's worse than Avery.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I see Pop being a smart ass to refs sometimes. I can't say I've ever seen him be quite as big a to a ref, especially on the podium at the NBA Finals.

Holy , Cuban on... he's got tears in his eyes and looks like he is crying.

[Tigole Bitties]

Dirk: "You need a little fingertips."

WTF?

[infinite styles]

Ever watch Pop rip somebody in press conference? Same happens. You lead in questions. It's the old lawyer trick of examination/cross examination.

So with all this said in the thread how should the reporter have asked AJ about that foul or should he not have asked at all? In other words "What was your 'impression' of that question late in the press conference?"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

But again Aggie, unless you guys have seen this, you don't understand. You think Avery's an ass, try dealing with Pop game in and game out when they lose. He's worse than Avery.

. I don't care how Pop acts in a press conference. It does not make Avery any less of an asshole for how he acted tonight.

Cuban throwing at the wall to see what sticks...

1. Wade wasn't fouled
2. It was a backcourt violation
3. We can't get calls like that, but they can
