aj should just stfu seriously, whiny biatch. we wanted that also, but no refs had to bail them out
The irony is that this same statement would work against him if he were talking after games 3 and 4 vs. the Spurs.
I couldn't agree more, let the players decide the outcome of the game

Mark Cuban thought that was a bad idea so he ed and bloged and behold the NBA we have now
Avery did not learn every lesson about being a good coach and a good man from Pop. I think that just because Avery didn't have much talent but he still carved out a decent pro career for himself through hard work and perseverence, that people mistake this into thinking Avery is a great guy. He's not. He's just an asshole who had a lot of drive and ambition. Remember, this is the same person who told the Admiral that Jesus was ashamed of him because of a basketball game.
The irony. Dallas is crying over the same issues that allowed them to represent the finals. I guess they hope this new flavor of whine will allow them to play against the Miami cheerleaders. It's tough when you have to play with the rules being applied to both teams.
Avery now receives financial incentives from Mark Cuban
<-- Mavs fan
Not whining about the suspension...it is what it is. Debatable, but that's the decision they made.
Mavs are still the better team and there are 2 games in Dallas.![]()
Truer words have rarely been written.
Red whine, white whine, boones farm whine, take your pick.
So I take it that when #6 has the jersey raised next season, you guys won't be in the front row?
Oh and just for edification, Jesus didn't play. He was very adamant about doing his Father's work and when that work was being made a mockery of, he turned things out (reference the turning over the money tables in the synogogue and the tearing down one and rebuilding it in three days).
I've said the same things. When on a basketball court or any playing field, you can't be nice. You need to be a total asshole or else you will lose every contest you play in. Being an asshole on the court does not mean you're a bad guy. Stackhouse is an asshole on the court and DWade is definitely a MF. And if you think Jordan was nice, guess again. Don't get it the reference twisted. Successful people are straight up assholes when they need to be.
Oh and DRob was one of the best cursers on the court when things didn't go right at times.
Which player on the Sprs is a total asshole?
A complete asshole? On this team there really isn't one this season.
Even Avery wasn't an asshole when asked to do a media interview. He was always approachable even when he was in one of his moods.
That's one of the good things. As long as I've been covering team there haven't been really any butt wipes that I could name. Even Pop can be 'nice' at times.
You can't fault him for fighting for his team. What kind of coach would he be then? Try and unemployed one.
My pastor today said we ought to pray for Avery since as he is losing the game, he seems to be losing it.![]()
He could try getting his players to not be such dumb thugs nut shotting and throwing forearms to the head on breakaways.
Pop would ream new assholes if his players pulled that kind of crap. Remeber last year when Crackhouse got off the bus and beat the crap out of Kirk Snyder. How well do you think thugness like that would be tolerate by Pop and the Spurs? Obviously AJ tolerates a different level of behavior and play. In the end you reap what you sow.
My point exactly and if you ever played sports or coached sports, you'd have been in the same situation. People figure because Avery has to be an ass with his players and media that he's being a jackass. No, he's just trying to keep his team from ing up a golden opportunity. He's not doing anything that Phil Jackson hasn't done or what Riley wouldn't do. A good coach is going to fight for his team. That's what a leader does. I wouldn't respect him if he wasn't fighting for his players.
Let the players decide the game? The league does. Stackhouse decided it was worth being suspended for a game to get in a cheap shot at Shaq.
Shut the up Avery.
Hopefully all the AJ #6 nutriders out there realize that the Avery you guys knew and loved when he was here in SA is dead. He's a Cuban crony now. Hopefully the Spurs organization realizes this too, I'm sick of the lovefest for the coach of the team that will be our biggest rival and threat for the remainder of the Tim Duncan era.
AJ![]()
Hoopsfan, off the court AJ is still AJ. It's his job to ride his players. Consider that Pop got rid of a worthless coach who wasn't 'player friendly' and you'd see that what AJ is doing is what any good coach does.
It's not a lovefest; it's called respect. There's a big difference. And if you're going to have that kind of hatred to AJ then make sure you throw Mike Brown and Doc Rivers on your list as well.
AJ by defending punk behaviour is enabling it. Pop would not defend a Spur taking a cheap shot like Stackhouse did. Is Pop not a good coach?
Give Manu # 6 next year like he wanted when he first got here. Kobe switched jerseys numbers, why can't he? It'd be a nice FU to Avery and a symbolic way of cutting ties with him for good.
I think this is more indicative of AJ trying to get his team fired up. Coaches do different tactics. The Mavs are not a veteran team like the Spurs. Pop would never pull them out of a posh hotel because the Spurs wouldn't dare disobey curfew.
Different teams; different personalities; different tactics to use in that scenario.
#6 is going into the rafters. It's being retired. Unlike you, the Spurs organization, as a whole, recognize what Avery did for the organization and that's the proper honor to bestow upon him.
And considering that the three players in Spurs history who won a le were there when the team sucked, it's only appropriate. Sean, DRob and AJ's numbers will be symbolic of the first le that THEY won as team members from the old 'guard'.
If Avery rolled over on this, you guys would be calling him a pussy for not fighting for his team.
Aggie and other wankers, if the Spurs diss AJ are they not too acting with some other than class? Avery was an important part of your club when he was there. What is wrong with recognizing that? If you don't, then you are just as much a petty asshole as you think he is now.
