Sorry, not a wolves fan, but thanks for the "cute" complement. Respect is all that my point was. You were hating on someone elses props to them. If you want the earned, give them the chance to do it before you hate on them. It's not an individual KG or even Allen or Pierce thing, it's a team thing. Just like your Detroit team couldn't have done it without the players they had in place. It's funny, there's really not many "in betweeners" with Boston this year. It's either bandwagon or burn the wagon. I'm just in the middle with respect for a team with huge possibilities, just like NO.

Specifically, this is where we disagree. I do not think I should be required to, nor are they entitled to call them great before they accomplish anything. I think it should be the other way around.

As far as the in-betweeners thing, I actually agree. Although I think I qualify for the middle category. I don't love them, and I certainly won't say they stink. I have a healthy fear of them, and I hope they and Cleveland beat the crap out of each other, I just don't like crowning a team before they have earned it.

Hey at least we agree somewhere! :D
 
I agree with some of the back and forth in the last cpl pages, but to not even mention Micheal Jordan anywhere in here about being the all time greatest clutch shooter, manipulator of his environment, he could turn it on whenever he wanted to and say alright guys get on my back I'm gonna make us win this game defensively first and offensively execute.

He has accomplished more than any player in the league...6...count em'...six rings. Majic had 4. Byrd had 4. 3 all time greatest IMO.
 
CP3!!! That was an amaaaaazing 3rd quarter!!! Don't know what's wrong with san antonio, but if the hornets win one road game, it is over for the mighty spurs. 36 points in the 3rd!!! Amazing! Pistons are also gonna pull out of this one, and I think boston will win tonight. Just my predictions :)

Well, I didn't know we were having that debate, or I would've brought him up....
 
Well after watching that game last night, I'd have to say that I see greatness in Chris Paul...he gets all the passes he wants, shots he wants, makes everything happen not even effortlessly he just makes it simple...devote your best defensive player to me or I'm gonna go off for 35 or try and play a zone and he'll go for 25 and 15 assists. And how about the young man being so cool in the face of the supposedly best defensive team in the league.
