This Terry situation is just another outcome of the NBA that has turned its back on me.
Its so hard for me to make a list of star players that I really admire, Tim Duncan, Lebron, maybe KG, Wade, and a few others.
Its so much easier to make a list of the jackass superstars. I think of Shaq throwing a punch at Brad Miller, Ron Artest flicking off some fans and a coach, Ron Artest at the Palace, Rasheed Wallace following a ref to his car after a game to threaten him, Robert Horry biting Jerry Stackhouse, the Kobe sex thing, Sprewell choking his coach, Kidd beating his wife...
I don't like todays game either. People tell me the NBA hasn't changed I've changed, but watch a classic from the early 90s or 80s. Its amazing to see players not arguing with the refs. Thats pretty much the only difference other than the style, but it is a HUGE difference.
Also I get the feeling now that coaches have no power over their players, and its the players who are running the league. Maybe this is why its so terrible when the players act up - b/c theres no authority present to shutem down. Coaches in the NBA seem invisible as compared to football or managers in baseball.
baaaaaaah, still playing and loving my Sega NBA Jam has trapped me in the 90s.

OK I'm done ranting. Go Spurs. I always liked Michael Finley. |
bro their were ALOT of awesome fights in the 80s and especially the 70s, 2 that stand out, Larrys fight with Kareem, Rudy tomjanovich almost getting killed by whats his face....but yes the 90s were pretty much the best decade ,and wow the Bulls just dominated itsomuch it was funny.O yea those classic Knicks Heat fights
ok to the present
Spurs will win 2night I gauransheed it
but really terry is a big part of the Mavs,with him being out they turn to a slower stackhouse...
I hope the Spurs come away with this series, not only for my homeboy from Albania kapedamn, but cause the Heat just match up better with them, the Mavs own us.
In the East we'd do better vs the Cavs cause a great game from the cavs is worse than a great game by the Pistons.
Of course the revenge factor is involved but the Heat need to know that people only remember the person you marry not the people you dated....
