John Hollinger: Pop is keeping him because every time they offer Rasho in a trade they hear a "click," followed in 10 seconds by a dial tone. But he'll be mildly useful if they end up playing the Heat in the Finals.
Holy frick, Batman! John Hollinger of ESPN.com said this in a chat yesterday:
Robbie, CA: Do you think that Ron Artest should win the Defensive player of the year or Comeback player of the year?
John Hollinger: No such thing as comeback player of the year anymore, and as for defensive player I can't see him winning by playing only half a season. Right now I'd say Bruce Bowen has the inside track.
Finally, someone out there gives Bruce his props!! It's about time ...
Then there was this:
Christopher (Phoenix): I can't take it anymore! What can the Suns do to overcome the hated Spurs?
John Hollinger: Wow. I don't think I've ever heard anyone use "hate" with the Spurs before. Even though they keep winning, they're so darned nice about it that nobody seems to hate them, (unlike, say, the Lakers or the Cowboys). But I guess if they win enough they'll eventually become the villains.
Obviously John hasn't visited the NBA section of Spurstalk ... not to mention other chatboards where Spurs hatred flows freelyBut, never fear, another Suns fan chips in with:
Garrett (Phoenix): Apparently you've never been to the desert if you've never heard of anyone hating the Spurs. Between Tim Duncan's constant crying, and Ginobili's auditions for Hollywood or Ballet recital (I can never quite tell which), they have got to be the most hated team in the league. With that said, after the Spurs and Mavs tear each other up for 7 games, and we sweep Memphis or Denver, we'll see Detroit in the Finals...
John Hollinger: Wow. OK. Apparently SOME people hate the Spurs. But overall, there isn't nearly the venom that other past champions have generated.
Are the Spurs to Phoenix what the Lakers were (are?) to the Spurs? Sounds like it.
Oh heck, a couple more:
Matthew: If the Mavericks ever get their entire rotation healthy, I think they become the odds-on favorites. Thoughts?
John Hollinger: Put it this way: Pair up a healthy Mavs vs. a healthy Spurs, and I'll take the Spurs every time. But the reality is that teams are rarely 100% healthy, so you can't count on that as your meal ticket. Unless you're Detroit, in which case you have lifetime immunity from any and all injuries and should feel free to proceed with a five-man roster.
Speaking of Detroit, the AP writeup of last night's game says they have started the EXACT SAME LINEUP in all 66 games this season. Wow.
And, in closing:
John (Houston): Any chances of the Spurs getting rid of Rasho for anything of value? I just can't seem to figure out what Pop is doing keeping him around.
John Hollinger: Pop is keeping him because every time they offer Rasho in a trade they hear a "click," followed in 10 seconds by a dial tone. But he'll be mildly useful if they end up playing the Heat in the Finals.
I think Rasho's just a little better than that, but ...

The Suns are officially the Spurs' es. Just like the Kings were the Lakers' es before.so if the kings were the queens, should the suns be the phoenix moons?
Suns fans are getting close to Mavs fans in terms of uppity white people hating on the team that regularly beats their favorite team.
Suns fans are becoming old laker fans, all with thoughts that their team is actually dominant having only one year of team playoff experience.
"most hated team in the nba" shows how much they suck against us...
What is it like 10-2 Spurs in the last year?
The team the Suns fans should be hating is probably the Suns...
Much like an investment firm downgrading General Motors bonds, I must once again downgrade the Phoenix fan base from "somewhat troll-infested" all the way down to "whiny, y, playa-hatin' wannabes (with the occasional gem of a fan)."
Which is exactly where the Lakers were, except the Lakers of course have 14 banners in their place, while the Suns have nothing but the memory of choking and other assorted heartbreaks.
i feel the suns fans pain lol
