Yawn, San Antonio is Going to Win
I really shouldn't complain about the fact that San Antonio will win the NBA championship again this year. I bitch and moan about the horrible play in the league and how the young players have no clue about playing basketball. It's all about dunks and threes, which is absolutely the worst way to play basketball. But, San Antonio plays basketball. I should be singing their praise over and over again, but I have such a hard time embracing them. They are not really likeable.
Look at their players: Duncan is fantastic. The most under-appreciated player in the history of the league. He is amazing, even at this stage of his career. He is certainly not the Tim Duncan of ten years ago, but he is still dominating. But he also a whinning jerk, who complains about every call. He is not likeable at all. Never was, never will be. HOF!
Parker is incredible. If he ever learns to shave, he probably could get a movie star to stay married to him. He is so quick. His mid-range jump shot is money. No one can guard him. But he is from France. He alwayts looks condecending, as if he has no time for anyone. And of course he has a little bit of the soccer player in him, embellishing any contact he receives. The French have never been loved and it is easy to see why with Parker. HOF
Gnobelli: How would like to meet him in a dark alley? He would rip your lungs out without a second thought. But he can fucking play. I do not think I have ever seen a better sixth man in all the time I have watched the NBA. He is sure-fire HOF player. He may be the best foreign player to ever play the game, even better than Dirk Diddler.
Danny Green: Caroling guy. Can't dislike him.
Bonner: What's to like? Stiff, slow, Florida. But Popovich gets the best out of him and he is valuable player. Seems like he never misses a three.
Stephan Jackson: Thug. Felon. Hateful. But he can play.
Splitter: Huh? Brazilian stiff, but contributes because he plays only against the other team's bench players and they suck worse than him.
Leonard: rookie, is afraid to make a mistake or Parker will send him to the French Foreign Legion. Very talented and contributes whatever he can
Diaw: Cow. Lard-ass. Another player from France, who is not nearly as good as Parker. Somehow he starts and contributes. He must be happy to be in San An-tone, because he is easily unfocused. This result is him sucking horribly. Not so in SA
Popovich: Easily the best coach in the NBA and has been for a long, long time. Ten times the coach that Phil Jackson was. He gets players to play or he sits their rich asses down on the bench. Players obviously buy in or else they are terrified of him. Either way is good. HOF coach. Has won 4 championships and will win again this year. When will he get the recognition he deserves?
Other bench guys just contribute when called upon. They don't complain. They know they are llucky to be there and if they just shut up and play when asked, they will get a ring.
Of course SA is playing OKC. Other than Durant, who in my opinion is the best player in the league, OKC is not too sharp. Westbrook is a retard. Along with LBJ, he is the best physical specimen in the league. He's unbelieveable,but I am not too sure he is very bright. And Perkins? WTF is up with him? Mr. Mean. More like Mr. Bad Hands. Or perhaps Mr. Zero Offensive Ability. Is he fuking useless or what? He does sweat amazing amounts from that tiny little beard he has, but that is not really a serviceable basketball skill is it? Is it possible for OKC to score inside the key with their big men? You can not win a chimpionship without some kind of inside game. OKC has none. NONE! I do like Harden.
I am watching and OKC get a little run and Pop calls a time out and really fucking gives it to Parker. That's why he is a great coach: he grinds everyone. Parker is giving him the soccer goalie excuse: thowing his hands in the air and blaming others. Pop just fucking grinds him. I love it.
So, maybe I should be more open to appreciating SA for what they are: a great team, with great leaders and a great coach. They play the game the way it should be played and they are coached by a guy who demands that they play that way. By the way, Popovich does have some Carolina connection, which explains his excellence.
