Ludden: Spurs sub in Barry and Mohammed

[picnroll]

Wasn't Maradona an out of shape cokehead for a large part of his career.

(Waiting for Argentinian's to burn the board down )

[T Park]

oh picnroll

You might as well have called Ginobili El Diablo

[ALVAREZ6]

Blow it out of your ass.

A small percentage of the players does not make a sport.

A small percentage...

I'm ing talking about the Sport itself.

OK let's break down the GAME of baseball.

roughly 50% of the amount of total time of the game, you are in the dug-out waiting to bat.

Even if you are a pitcher, 50% of the game you are pitching, and a team goes through many pitchers in one game, wich lowers the %.

After the 50% in the dug out, the out fielders in the out field are not getting much action at all, so they are moving their bodies about 45% of the time they are fielding.

They don't do , which explains why they play 162 ing games in one season, playing 3 games in a row with no days in between.

Not during his career.

[ALVAREZ6]

Apologize.

Quit talking out of your ass, South American.

if the matchups are more favorable with him coming off the bench, let him come off the bench. if not, he starts. if barry is gonna shoot like that vs a nuggets zone, he should continue to start. next opponent or game may dictate otherwise. hopefully we'll get to the next round and see what works - wins are what is important here, not who starts.

Well, Chump usually your best players start because usually starters play more minutes. However, there is no absolute rule to start your best players, and there are a few notable HOF, le-winning, counterexamples. Undoubtedly, Manu wants to start, but Manu also wants to do what is best for the team. The number of NBA teams that would highly value such talent, dedication. amd selflessness is probably on the order of 30.

I thought someone should answer your question.

Well, you're probably right in that he was (or sadly, still is) a "cokehead". Thats a really sad fact.
If think using cocaine improves a soccer player´s game, then you're a little confused.
You might be thinking other sports like football (NFL) where most of the players are "high" or at least in high doses of illegal substances.

[smeagol]

It's the example that kills your whole argument. You're telling me that Kevin McHale was 'supposed' to start and that he wasn't one of the best players on the team? What about Ricky Pierce? He was considered to be the best player on some Seattle teams. Desmond Mason has come off of the bench for much of his career. He certainly hasn't been inferior to every swing player starting in front of him.

It's clear that there isn't a particular way it's 'supposed' to be, and it's also clear that the best players don't always start.

You win Brodels. I will rephrase my statement. Best players usually start.

If people here think he brings more to the table from the bench rather then starting (Tpark and the rest), that's fine.

I don't predict Manu playing for more than one season for the Spurs, if he is coming off the bench.

[smeagol]

Quit talking out of your ass Euro.

TPark, you a an ignorant idiot.

By the way, baseball sucks! Its as much of a sport as curling, drag races and figure skating.

[mookie2001]

even i agree with t-park that baseball is a sport

[smeagol]

even i agree with t-park that baseball is a sport

I said it was a sport and compared it to some other wonderfully entertaining sports.

[hendrix]

even i agree with t-park that baseball is a sport

Yes, Baseball is a sport. Chess too.

[smeagol]

whottt, your support does not go unappreciated

[whottt]

de nada smeagol.

[T Park]

Why even bother talking with the Argentinians.

Jack asses.

[Man In Black]

Lucky none of you brought up the Falkland Islands.

Seriously, an issue with a team of such diversified nationalism is that national pride plays a big part in how people feel.

THey should take their cue from whoever their backing. Do I think that Manu deserves to start? Yeah, but it's a strange time and this team isn't at full strength. As such, adjustments need to be made. If the Spurs are fully healthy, then there is no need for such adjustment.
Besides, MANU HAS ALREADY SAID THAT HE HAS NO ISSUE WITH IT. The le, that is what's important to both him and the team and...TO ALL OF US.

[ChumpDumper]

Malvinas Islands, mother er!

[Man In Black]

Ease up Chump.. It was the Falklands/Malvinas that the British & Argentina had their little tete-a-tete for.

Take your choice.
Look it up biatch

[T Park]

They get pissed when you bring up the Falklands.

Just ask Manny lmfao....

[ChumpDumper]

[Man In Black]

Damn...Chump...you got a lot of pent up aggression. YOU NEED TO GET LAID.

[ChumpDumper]

And you need to recognize sarcasm when you see it.

[Man In Black]

EXACTLY

But the laid part...there is always something good that can come of that.
