Are we to believe that Paul was on teams with equal talent? Let's not be reductive. So you know, with absolute fact, that Deron had nothing to do with Sloan's abrupt exit? Huh.

Notice that he brought up the subject. You act as if it's a handicap or pox on my house simply because I understand these cinematic standards: how they apply and why. The idea that actually having superior knowledge makes me a "prick" is laughably dim. Or painfully typical. What you...

Because individuals win championships. Which is why Jordan won in every season he played. Genius.

Quite the insult, coming from a guy who has managed 6,000 posts in just over a year. Irony's a bitch. But if you want an in-depth discussion on mise en scene, tableau, slanted angles, design-as-statement, pre and post-Gibson cyberpunk or modern expressionism, well, be sure to learn something...

A great compliment, coming from a clown.

Notice he never asked Malone. When the press tried to get a positive statement from Sloan about Webber, after the latter's retirement ceremony (one of the hardest sells the Maloofs ever tried to make), all he would talk about was the Stockton hit and cowardice. The idea that this was...

Because he fits right in. It's not so much opinions and aholes, as it is Rick Kamla and aholes. That is, why shouldn't NBATV have a huge ******* like Webber considering all that ****?

Agree with the rest of what you're saying, but blaming Chris Paul for destroying the Hornets? The biggest problem for NO appears to be one of mass-apathy. Mr. Hagiography can't even get over 12,000 locals into the arena consistently. To say he destroyed that franchise is to give him too much...

Stockton had to have off-season surgery on the arm. Shot and played under-par most of the playoffs. Tough SOB? Obviously. Most guys wouldn't have been playing after that. The opposite of Webber: tough and clutch. Webber's biggest moment in the series. And it happens on the first play of...

That's Jazz basketball. The only time they make a "blockbuster" move it involves the big names going in the wrong direction.

Chandler may leave Dallas, he may not. But there's no way the Jazz would step in: he wants money. A lot of money. That's not a good look for the Jazz. Better to be mediocre and cheap. That's the Miller motto, for both lemons on the lot and on the court. I could see it, if Chandler was an...

Quality of basketball was better because the league was designed around contact. Now there's no hand-checking, and a limp wrist like Nowitzki can get 26 FTs in a single playoff game from guys playing the "duck and cover" defense. All the while, an idiot like Jeff Van Gundy will be telling you...

Well, why not? Millsap was supposed to be a PF to replace Boozer, and a couple years ago certain posters were suggesting that Boozer was a better player than peak Malone. Is this thread too stupid for many on this board, or simply too late? Last year Hayward was a sign of Utah's...

And it's his choice to hate Kirilenko and his back tattoo, bigot. I love liberal thought: diversity is a strength. We must tolerate all lifestyles. Unless, of course, there's something the current "progressive" fascism is against. Then the "hate" must be stopped and, of course...

I tend to think that Deron is still arguably the best PG in the league. Yes, better than Rose. Possibly as good and/or better than Paul. All-NBA team votes don't prove all that much, unless we're talking about outlier talent that is backed by hype or so obvious that even morons like Marc...

Millsap's help-D is overrated -- he's undersized, yet not very quick -- and his man-defense is like watching someone try to guard their older brother in a game of one-on-one. Worst of all, Utah's rebounding-ratio crumbled with Millsap as the starter in place of Boozer, just as I predicted it...

Be interesting to know how many 'good' years he thinks he's already put in. Well, when there are no standards, no expectations, why would he feel constrained? I'm sure he felt much more free after getting a max contract as well. That turned out about the same, over 7 years, as Utah's season.

Since I was agreeing with your argument, well, I couldn't agree more. So far as attacking you, I thought your point was fact versus rumor, or baseline reality versus laughable lie. In that sense, I was just backing up your point on this matter, as flimsy as it was, by pointing out your...
