If you don't want Sam Cassell taking big shots, then you've paid absolutely zero attention to his career.

did you see how his ball hogging killed the celts last night? he isn't the same player he was 10 years ago (or even 2 years ago), yet the problem is he still thinks he is one of the best players in the league.

I'd still rather have him taking the last shot than anyone on the Boston roster, and it's not close.

Is somebody a Hawks fan?

On the continuum of frontrunning, jumping on the bandwagon of the terrible local team when they improbably win a couple of games is a whole lot farther down than living in an NBA city and rooting for a team from another city that has won four championships. I've been going to two or three Hawks games a year the whole time I've lived in Atlanta. Have you ever been to the city of San Antonio?

Hahaha are you kidding me? I'm tempted to not even humor you with a response but I think I will. Just because I'm rooting for the Spurs doesn't mean I'm some die hard fan. I just like them and their style of play. No I've never been to San Antonio, nor do I plan to. I'm not some bandwagon fan, I just like the team. If they lose every game of the season I won't lose a minute of sleep. You can continue this argument if you'd like but you're just making yourself look dumb.

Good riddance, garbage. I would like to be the first person to dance on the grave of Eurotrash style basketball in the League. Nothing in a long time has made me smile as much as watching Bruce Bowen make the fraudulent, pasty, faux 2 time MVP puke the ball up at the end of the game to end his team's chance and his Italian League quality coach's stay in Phoenix. Have a nice offseason, Stevie Loser.

I'm not sure I agree with your hatred of Steve Nash at all, but I too was very glad to see the Suns lose. Had they knocked the Spurs out in the first round I may have lost my faith in basketball as a sport.

Thanks for the advice, but the last thing I'm worried about while having a discussion with you is looking dumb.

Presumably you would have just moved on and rooted for the Lakers or the Celtics or some other good team whom you just happen to like.

Am I not allowed to like Tim Duncan? I'm pretty sure I didn't say one thing that made me look dumb.

I am a Grizzlies fan, so I'm allowed to just like whomever I please in addition. I like teams who play a style of basketball that I respect, like the Spurs. If you have a problem with that I couldn't care less.

My apologies; I assumed that somebody saying
Comeee on Timmy!

was a fan of the team. I didn't think that most guys rooted for individual players like that much past the time that they're old enough to shave, drive a car, and be interested in girls.

But hey, if you're a fan of your local team, and you don't have any of this other "my other team" garbage, then (not that you care about my opinion) it's perfectly legitimate to root casually for whomever you want in the playoffs. I just assumed you were another one of the glory hunters hanging off the Spurs' jockstraps, and gave you crap accordingly. My misunderstanding.

Watching the Spurs play is absolutely disgusting. No wonder the ratings are always so low when the Spurs are in the playoffs.
