The Patriots or the Browns? T'Wolves or the Spurs?<BR/><BR/>A lot of people that watch a team that isn't theirs win enough, they start hating.

Personally, I hate the Spurs because they're cheap and they're pussies. Bowen is cheap - go to youtube and type in 'bruce bowen cheap play'. Tim Duncan had his wife throw a fit so that he could start in the all-star game. And let's not forget Horry slamming Nash into the scorer's table...Tyler J Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643972482791760983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398105723081422438.post-70959545635727908542008-06-01T08:49:00.000-07:002008-06-01T08:49:00.000-07:00I've never argued that the Spurs are whiners, ever...I've never argued that the Spurs are whiners, everyone complains. I think the negative labels some attach to the Spurs are more a manifestation of being frustrated/ jealous at the duration of their excellence. They win a lot, deep playoff runs mean basketball fans see a lot of the Spurs every year.<BR/><BR/>And yes, Bruce Bowen doesn't foul people. Good point. Seriously, 11 free throws!? In 3 of the 5 games, he took 1 or less! That means 1 or zero! He took 120 shots! 11 freethrows is only two more than Luke Walton! Luke Walton, who played 16 minutes a game and took 24 shots! How ever you want to explain that, it is pretty amazing to me.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the poo, watch out for peanut shells.Jack Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031630038196126143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398105723081422438.post-65201864607587118622008-05-31T21:18:00.000-07:002008-05-31T21:18:00.000-07:00It should be an interesting finals, the physical d...It should be an interesting finals, the physical defense of the Celtics vs. the speed of the hated Lakers. The Celtics do have home court but they are also older and don't have much of a bench.<BR/> It should be noted that the "whining" Spurs did not raise a fuss about the non-call at the end of game four, do you think the Lakers would have been as quiet had the situation been reversed?<BR/> Some interesting stats on foul shots. In the Spurs-Lakers series there were an average of 37.2 foul shots per game by both teams combined; in the Lakers-Jazz series the average was 64.8 per game. Yes, Kobe only shot 11 total free throws but I like to think that Bowen did a better job keeping Kobe from driving to the hoop thus resulting in fewer free throw attempts.<BR/> I have not yet resorted to eating poo but will keep that option in reserve if they win the finals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
