D'Antoni's take

[Cheesebeef]

It couldn't come soon enough.

I dont think I can handle the playoffs. I CANT STAND THIS!!! CMON SUNS!!!

so young - arthur - you don't even know what heartbreak or sweating really is yet - welcome to the dream and nightmare that is the playoffs for sportsfans.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

If you guys don't want to believe me I'll stop posting.

I want to believe that.

No need to pile on and make a dick comment Eric, the guy has 17 total posts in around a year and hasn't posted in more than six months. Seems like a real threat of being a major troll...

 

[ASUCHRIS]

whooo boy - do we need Game 5 to begin and be won already or what?

I dunno, I had a sick feeling that when JJ went down, we were in trouble, especially with guarding their quick perimeter players. Hopefully this isn't the case.

He does know what chatcrapping is, however.

I saw D'Antoni at the mall today wearing a Mavericks jersey and he told me that Mark Cuban does not look like a 14 year girl with that haircut.

I'm sorry, but "If you guys don't like what I'm saying, I'll just stop posting" is classic trolling masquerading as passive-aggressiveness. If this guy is such a close friend of yours, maybe you can subtly counsel him on matters of netiquette.

Oh trust me, I HAVE suffered heartbreak.
HEARTBREAK in the PLAYOFFS no less.

As a Bills Fan:
Wide Right - Although I dont remember the first 2 SB's much, see below
3 more Bills Super Bowl losses (I cried alot after that 4th loss)
Music City Miracle - I never saw it comming, I figured the Bills had won...BTW, Forward Pass.

As a Sabers Fan:
HIS FOOT WAS IN THE CREASE!!!!! THat made me mad

As a Lakers Hater:
Lakers beating Blazers
Lakers beating Kings - This one hurt the most, as I was REALLY rooting for the Kings in that postseason.
Lakers beating Spurs (thank god Pistons beat the Lakers)


Of course, I havent had to suffer through any Arizona sports heartbreaks.

are you friggin' kidding me?

dude comes on here. posts something that we'd be interested in. doesn't jibe with what most you WANT to believe (becuase really none of you have ANY hard evidence that DISPROVES anything he says). you all pile on. asuchris, a pretty up-and-up and poster comes to his defense. and you all still not only refuse to believe that it COULD be true, but then post crap like this? and who needs the netiquette classes . . . ?

 

[arthurracoon]

IF the Suns dont win game 5, there is going to be some major attacks on this board.

You can't actually believe what you're writing. I think you are just trying to pick a fight, to settle some vedetta against me from something in the past. See through your anger for a moment and realize how absurd your position is.

What if I posted this:

"I was talking to someone who knows a nurse who works in the same office as the Suns' trainer. They said that they did a blood test on Stoudemire and actually he's an extraterrestrial, which is why he can be so strong and quick at the same time. Unfortunately, that species generally lives to be only about 25 earth years old, so the Suns' window of opportunity is a lot shorter than most people think. Sorry to be the one to report this, but it looks like we'd better enjoy this moment while we can."

Hopefully, I'd receive some negative comments for posting such garbage. Can you "disprove" any of it with "hard evidence"? Nope. But it's still a load of crap.

By the way, did you follow thegrahamcrackr's post about the timing of this? That's pretty close to hard evidence, wouldn't you say?

my bad arthur - I thought you were born in Phoenix and were too young to remember the Barkley heartaches.

you're being ridiculous.

and thegrahamcrackr's post makes it more difficult for it to be true, but doens't disprove it.

 

[Cheesebeef]

boy is it gonna a ball of laughs in here if they lose tomorrow.

Whatever. By the way, I was hardly the only person to recognize the original post as nonsense. I'm just the only one foolish to have gotten dragged into a big tedious discussion about it.

No problem.

It's just sad when the only team that has won a championship that I was truly a fan of plays a sport that I only follow later in the postseason (ie: NL championships - DBacks).

*sigh*

I overheard a soccer mom at my kids game say she saw marion and he told D'antoni to "SHUT THE **** UP and get me a shot!

 

[AZZenny]

Elindholm, that was a classic.

My friend's Mom (apparently told my friend, who told me) that coach told her...
Look, whatever the integrity or lack thereof of the poster, some of you are regarding third or fourth hand addle-lescent-filtered gossip as a credible report! Presumably because it fits with what you WANT to believe.

yeah - I'm sure some of the people here WANT to believe we are tired and Shawn is acting like a little whiny bitch - what kind of sense does that make?

and we'll have fun, fun, fun till the daddy takes the t-bird awayyyyyy! Seriously - does anyone have a life-remote control to fast forward to tomorrow night at this point so we can Aim our frustrations at the TV instead of at each other?

Thx for the defense ouchie, I should have warned him that things work a little differently here than on the other boards. It's cute that Eric is so adept in psychoanalysis, or at least troll detection...... Perhaps he can make DH his padawan and teach him the ways of netiquette.

Are you guys kidding me? Eric is totally within his province (sorry Ouchie)--this is extremely convenient timing on top of completely against everything we ever thought of D'Antoni.

Hey, I know cheese and Ouchie are stand up guys, but that doesn't mean they're never full of crap sometimes.

Believe what you want to believe, but I don't like the way that people have been extremely rude in this thread. There's really no reason for it. This guy didn't post anything malicious. Even after there some rude responses to his original post his responses were not rude.

How many of you saw the segment on the news about a week ago where they talked to Mike D and his family at home? I'm 99% sure they mentioned in that segment that key helps coach his son's basketball team. This sounds almost certainly got back from Dallas late Sunday night. They had yesterday off from practice, so is it really that far out of the realm of possibilities that he would take a couple hours to get away from things and help with his son's basketball team?

I'm not saying any of this happened, but it's not that far-fetched. There's certainly no reason for the rudeness.
