Me. DBD is the man.

 

[tsamshox]

Is PATTY MILLS gonna go off tonight?

 

[do be doo]

I wish I had more rep-worthy comments 

Im all out man but I did rep you last page.

44 minutes. Flu. Still lose is comedy. The best part about DBD's trolling is it works cause the Lakers are garbage now. So he can continue this and once they go on their 9 game winning streak (which they will) he can disappear and CP will think he won. Then Lakers get bounced in the 2nd round and he can come out of hiding and that will infuriate the Laker fans BRILLIANT

[shoeking2101]

has their been any reaction from Stern on this yet?

Good spirited debate with Kenny and Webber on the pregame show 

Yeah but imo kenny was really wrong on this. People pay good money for tickets and your sitting guys? That's low man.

There's going to be fans in that arena who are going to a game for the first time. They deserve to see the best possible product. He can't cry about the schedule and sit people down man,this is the NBA. When you play in the NBA, this is what you sign up for.

 

[proshares]

who the hell hits the "REP" button for some of these clown *** comments?

i swear some of yall dudes got more then one screen name and logging in to rep your comments

I believe a list is in the process of being compiled. You can always ask Meth, he's actually been posting folks other usernames when they make some troll thread.

 

[tsamshox]

Who the **** is NANDO DE COLO? Lmao

 

[CP1708]

I don't give a **** about winning against that dude. When he kills himself on the internet, then I'll crack a smile.

I've already showed about a billion times how he doesn't even know what he's talkin about outside of jokes, gifs, and go spurs go. That's literally all he has. Now he has groupies like jumpman that run around protecting him like this morning. *shrugs*

He thinks his opinions are facts.

9 games in a row? Thats a reach my man they still haven't won 9 games this season yet. Plus they are putting their hopes on a injury pron 39 year old Steve Nash.

I said 5th seed at best but they might not make the playoffs with that $100 mill starting line up.

I think the dude Crawford put on skates if I'm remembering correctly. Nevermind, I don't think thats him.

There's no denying Popovich is a great coach but dude is every bit of a diva as Phil Jackson, except in a different way. He seems to ignore and even disdains the fact that his team and the wins they get mean nothing without paying fans. That's great that he's so focused on winning and stuff and acting aloof during interviews, but who's paying for his salary? The sponsors and fans that pay big money for the games.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Stern is not a Spurs fan

 

[kevin cleveland]

Hey, I didn't say The Patty Mills Show was going to win any Emmy's.

What's your point here?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

So teams should be forcing their best players out on the court every night, even with the risk of injury, faitigue, and/or the long-term success of the team?

Popovich sees that playing his older stars beyond a certain extent may damage their bodies and the team's long-term health. Sacrificing one game may mean saving them for a handful of more important ones down the line.

How is it Stern's job to say otherwise?

There are always complaints about how an 82-game schedule is bordering on too grueling for a player's body, a view shared by Charles Barkley. Popovich obviously is thinking the same way, at least with his older players (Danny Green nonwithstanding).

How is it against league rules to rest your players to combat fatigue and potential injury if you see fit? To me, it sounds like it's simply against league rules because the league set up this marquee game on TNT Thursday Night and Popovich has decided his player's health is more important.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

protecting him?

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Means I'd be pissed if I had tickets to the game

He's done it for years, really nothing Stern can do imo. Remember the Robert Horry DNP, Old? That was Pop.

He's been doing it for a while and he'll continue to do it. If Stern *******, then maybe Pop will just sit 1-2 instead of 4 or something like that.

 

[addict4sneakers]

sanctions for resting your players?

 

[iceman3699]

lesson learned for the NBA. Next time, they not gonna put the Spurs on National TV after a back to back.

 

[krazy88s]

I think Sterns beef was sending players home. If Pop doesn't want to play them, cool. But don't leave them at home completely

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Where was Stern's ***** fit every April when teams start resting their players to tank their record?

That's more of a grevious violation than resting them so they don't overexert their bodies.

Pretty much how I feel.
