I very much support

< Whiny (so far).

The thing I hate most about the NBA is all these guys who have never committed a foul and who, of course, get fouled on every possession.

Shut the F Up and play!!!!

Indeed

The NBA enforced that “no-whining” rule for what, like three weeks? They need to go back to it. If the players are going to act like 5 year olds, they should be treated like 5 year olds.

By the way, anyone see the Barnes-Alston altercation last night? Local boy Barnes incited the whole thing, and Ron-Ron kept himself under control…

He usually does

My complaints with Artest have always been basketball related.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

Is this

your subtle way of pushing for an NBA penalty box?

That would have to be Shaq proof

But amusing nonetheless.

For a white guy

He actually likes to dunk.

Best player on the team so far this year.

Easily the most impact player so far – in terms of consistent impact.

Spencer is 10th in the League in Blocks

That will go down, but it’s nice to have more guys in the top 10 in measurable stats for a change.

6th in the league

in 3-pt percentage too. That will go down more than his shotblocking average. I still think Hawes will end up in the top 30 in blocks this season.

If that happens

We have to be ecstatic. And I agree, that is much more likely to go down.

What can I say? I’m an obsessed fan.

Spencer Hawes in the three-point contest!

Oh god

Only you. Only you would pray for more 3’s while the rest of us wished we took his skinny ass downstairs to play on the block. Only you IW! Only you!

Do you realize the damage this team can do

with two low-post players who could play the perimeter? Most teams have a high-post guy and a low-post guy; what if they were interchangeable, and able to hit anybody on the floor from their positions? Combine this with a regiment of super-slashers who can drop three-bombs. What would you have? Beautiful basketball. All it takes is two out of five players to be on their grind, and that will give the room for the others to find their shot and work their way back into the offense. Repeat after me: mad buckets.

It’s the Princeton Offense. It still lives within the mechanizations of Petrie’s evil plans. And I friggin love it. If Spencer has to hoist threes like he’s Rasheed Wallace, so be it. If Jason Thompson has to get hosed by Grant Hill to become a Tayshaun-like perimeter defender, so be it. If Greene has to come in for five minutes and foul up the game, then let Kevin Martin restore the world to order. It’s worth it.

Yes I see your point

I just think that is a ways off for all concerned to do what you say. But it’s potentially frightening.
