Why Are NBA Teams Quitting??

[ryanXL977]

anyone who took pistons laying that much on the road should be mad at themselves, not AI

[dr03]

I agree with some of the others. Iverson I don't think is a good team mate. But just because your not a good team mate doesn't mean you are a thug. I don't remember off the top of my head AI having a criminal record.

What annoys me is idiots like JJ bringing up race any time any of his bets loses. His whole world is about proving himself to be better then somebody else on an internet gambling forum. You guys ever wonder why JJ seeks so much attention on here? It's because it's absent from his life.

[dr03]

ryanx, i don't think it's AI's fault either. Majority of these guys didn't even watch the game. Pistons are 11-8 and favored teams lose, happens in sports all the time.

[SlappyWhite]

Prison, dead, dealing drugs or guns, or flipping burgers at burger doodle.

Or shooting themselves in the leg with an illegal handgun in a New York nightclub...

AI has several hits on google for run ins with the law.

[rm18]

billups has one ring
and iverson has never been surrounded by shit

oh yeah, aaron mckie and eric snow, my bad

Iverson kills the offense of guys on his team, that is why he plays better with Mutumbo, Aaron McKie and Eric Snow than Stackhouse, Anthony, and Hamilton.

Only way to win with Iverson is surround him with role players. Hes has a better chance to win with

Samuel Dalembert
Rasheed Wallace
James Posey
Steve Blake

than

Dwight Howard
Lebron James
Carmelo Anthony
Chris Paul

[ryanXL977]

i think you put iverson with lebron , howard, and paul they might win a lot of games.

the president is a white dude and he has killed hundreds of thousands of people in iraq, along with our soldiers. ill take shooting yourself in the leg over that anyday. you are saying what exactly? that all blacks shoot themselves in the leg? really? thats your argument here?

[rm18]

I don't see how you can say Iverson is 3-5 inches shorter than Paul and Thomas, Iverson has to be 5'11, Paul is listed 6 and Thomas 6'1 they can't be bigger than that. Thomas always said to be smaller than his listed size. I also would say Iverson has more reach probably. Iverson probably has never lifted weights, weight has nothing to do with success in basketball really.

[ryanXL977]

he is tiny. its unreal how good he is with that size. the beating he takes is unreal. he isnt a pg, the other guys are. dont compare them. and if you want to compare anyone to isaih or cp, they wont stack up

not a cutdown to say iverson is worse than cp and isaih

[rm18]

He found a way to sabotage the Olympic team but I guess they were not quite that talented

[ryanXL977]

says who? you?

[Tsoprano]

Would rather have Paul or Thomas on my team than Iverson.

Would rather have Rondo on my team than Iverson.

[rm18]

says who? you?

He also was not invited back even though like 30 guys were allowed to try out. He also hurt the team because he made Marbury have to guard guys that were too big like Ginobili, maybe he could guard Pepe Sanchez but it was his fault for being on the floor really.

[rm18]

I am surprised though that Iverson has maintained his level of play at his age though

[ryanXL977]

that has nothing to do with anything. so they lost the olympics. what does that have to do with anything. iverson is a great player. he is not a point guard. if you bet on pistons on the road, dont blame him, blame you.
pistons made a stupid trade. again, not his fault. he is what he is. a great scorer.

[jjgold]

He is black trash

Who are we kidding??

[Deuce]

Some are racist and some are realists.

African Americans make up 52% of prison populations while only being 12% of the total population. What does this have3 to do with NBA Baskets? I don't really know.

[Weezy F.]

This thread is pointless, and exactly why I hate Sbr sometimes.

[cocknocker]

What i find funny is that 99% of the racial statements on these threads are made against Black people. Yet no black people are setting up threads and throwing shade against White people which comprise about 85% of general managers coaches and owners. Thos are the real losers because they are the ones actually responsible for the outcomes of the teams that THEY assembled. It's not about the players. it's the game within the game.

As far as the criminal record thing is concerened, if you take a large group of American White males and take them to the African outback, and let them walk and live amongst the natives, then you would know what it looks and feels like to be profiled because of the color of your skin. Believe me the Whites would be the target of many problems then and almost assuredly be the majority of prisoners simply based upona lack of trust and easily identified because of the color of their skin. Every time that soemthing would go wrong, the Whites would catch the blame and because they don't make the rules in a town where they are the minority and no one is interested in sharing the power. In other words they would have to dance to the music.

Now that would be some interesting mess if you ask me. Slick Fazzer and jjgold seem to be in need of some reverse profiling to understand why the prisons are filled with more Blacks than Whites. Profiling makes it easier to have one race doing more time than another one. When you look for something, more often than not you find it.

It's like the girlfriend that you put a ton of trust in but one day you decide to look through her phone and find that your best friend's phone number is in her phone 8 times when you were out of town. Without attempting to find out that they were setting up a surprise birthday party for you or whatever, you jump the gun and go to his house and punch his lights out because you found him guilty based upon factors that you were looking for out of your brief moment of lack of trust. That's what profiling is like.

Detroit losing by 24 to Knicks in 1st half

Iverson killed this team

Iverson= Team Cancer his whole career

Man I've been noticing that a ton lately which is why I slowed down betting NBA totals. In the past week I've seen more than fair share of games where teams give up only down 15 or so midway through the 4th quarter, and sometimes the coach doesnt stick more than 2 of the starting 5 in the whole 4th quarter. Phil Jackson is also calling off the dogs way early lately, though he may rethink that now since it almost bit him in the ass against the Wizz. I haven't had the confidence to get back into the NBA totals game lately at all. I'm not overly schooled when the totals are favoring the under. Lucky to go 50/50. The Warriors are about the only team I've seen lately that refuses to give up when behind big but the total keeps getting bigger to be worth it

[iladelcat]

damn...cmon fellas...a cat doesn't win a bet and all of sudden he goes on this "im tired of thugs and blacks bangin white women and what not" cmon now....these same "thugs" im sure have won u money at one point and time considering most bet on African American dominated sports aka Basketball and Football......get it together jj..ur wack!

[vassman86]

Racist cunts like jj simply suck at life. Have fun losing bets and getting mad the rest of your life.

Ryan when playoff time comes save this thread in ur fav places and bumb it up when Billups again causes his team to lose in the playoffs.

I'm impressed...cockknocker got a lil depth to him

im white and i am in no way rasist at all. Well i do get mad at asian drivers but who dosnt.Any way i completly agree with what you say the same athletes that your pist at right now are the same ones who last week made you money. If anything there are two people to blame. either the white man as a population for not being more athletic and dominating in "african american sports"or yourself for making a jackass bet. just my 2 cent dont care who agrees or not.

Nice subliminal jab

[Dark Horse]

Why are NBA teams quitting?

Because it's a long season, and nobody cares about one game. Players not at 100% until the playoffs (and some playoff positioning after ASB).
