Case in point.
who has a tough job?
Case in point.
Didn't you hear his interview with D.Patrick? He couldn't cave in as he has no power toHe distanced from having anything to do with that rule saying it was the owners who came up with it and he had no leeway to do anything
![]()
Thats funny, because on PTI he also was asked if it was up to him would he change it, and he responded no
He refused to change the rules just to hurt a team that everyone hates. He refused to even discuss the possiblity of it. You guys have been suggesting that he should just let the Suns play by a different set of rules because they are a team that's been kicking the out of your teams for the last ten years. All he did was state the facts, and didn't have any problem answering hard questions from a guy who hasn't been able to stand the Spurs for as long as I can remember.
what point?
Exactly.
Too easy.
yeah buddy....you showed me!
by the way you never commented on the other 15 on my list that needs to be "changed"
I guess you are agreeing with me on everything else....
I just heard the Stern interview finally.
Damn, he owned Dan PatrickThat was one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.
Actually you showed everyone who can read.The first one discussed was so utterly ridiculous, there was no reason to continue.by the way you never commented on the other 15 on my list that needs to be "changed"
Thats because you listed 15 things that you think should be changed, maybe you should watch another sport
And you never commented on my question.
If you dislike almost everything about the NBA, why the do you watch it?
Check out NASCAR, curling or polo. No issues with the officiating and the impossition of rules in those sports.
Dan didn't get owned per say...he brought up some interesting points but just didn't know how to follow through. i.e. cite specific references to previous games
David stern getting REALLY mad was comical but was weird....
Keith Olberman would have slammed Stern into the ground....he's the only reason I listen to that show
For a guys who hates the NBA, you seem to be pretty hook up to it.
He got owned.
Stern killed him on every point and he had nothing to say.
That's because he was getting owned.![]()
because I like it. Plain and simple.
I don't like how things have been handled to my team or any other team in the NBA. I like the plays, players, coaching, and games....
I think I could search down the pages/threads and find "we got screwed" "refs are the reason..."
why don't you tell them to go watch another sport too while you are at it....I'm at least advocating change...not whining about why things didn't come my way.....
why wouldn't exploring a new commish be a good thing to do? It's gotta happen sometime.....
Stern had only one good point. "It's the law"
I don't buy the "I can't do anything"
Stern should change the rules because someone on the internets thinks Amare should get preferential treatment.
That was a great job by Stern. Let me see Dan Patrick was saying that we should change the rules to protect star players, the Commish should know what the intent of a player is and if it benifits the NBA.
Lets be honest here. Yes it was a cheap shot by Big Shot Rob, but Amare and Boris did make a mistake and left the bench. Just like Big Shot Rob has to pay the penalty so does Amare and Boris.. does it make it good for the NBA No, but what choice did they have. Not to enforce the rules?
I have not heard the interview myself Kori, but I did hear how Keith Olbermann told Dan Patrick if he was going to get over it. He was really stunned by David Stern.![]()
Definitely need to download the mp3 if you haven't heard it yet.

Never before have I laughed at a serious sports interview. Stern has my vote if he's running next year.
Patrick stood his ground today against those "hopefully fired" Vex and Walter today. They should put that up for podcast.
no kidding, and i thought what Stern said was great. in almost every interview i have heard (with Stern) he absolutely kills those against him, including that chump Dan Patrick.
