PiLfan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Go Lithuania! :high: eh, i just can't bring myself to root for these prima donnas, what with their tattoos and gangsta rap and their complete inability to shoot a jumper. bring back the college players...they may lose, but at least they'd want to be there, and not treat the games like just another exotic summer camp.

Sometimes, I feel the same way. i call it hip-hop BB. I heard some sportscaster ask why can't the Americans make the other teams play their style. The reason is the other teams play the right way. Once they became athletically competitive, the right way is going to beat the hip hop way. Only one person on that team has one a championship and that is Duncan. The rest make millions based on playing the hip hop way, but the hip hop way doesn't win championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiLfan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Originally posted by DUSTINMFOX Tell us what you really think, please..... You did everything but use the word... give me a fukin' break. so i don't like the personalities and style of game being played by the men's basketball team, so now i'm a racist. i admired the game and its players not too long ago....when they emphasized playing as a team, perimeter shooting, free throws and guarding. but that doesn't sell....no, nowadays dunks sell....punk attitude sells....bling bling sells. which is why i'm glad the Pistons won the championship this year....they're the anti-thesis (i.e., anti-Lakers) of what the game is trying to hype in today's market.

Zen-like Todd Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Those consecutive fouls on the baseline called against Team USA are completely absurd. The refs are trying to keep it close at the free throw line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
