Couldn't find the accompanying story to back this one up ... much like their rumors.

Nice...

that is EXACTLY what ESPN/ABC have done. considering they just signed an extension with the NBA on airing rights.

they are just spouting ****.....and its become pretty obvious. it brought us back into caring about the nba.

From another point of view, they are cannabalizing their own business. Why would we frequent these news agencies in the future if they refuse to do proper journalism? They may be helping the nba, but at the expense of their own credibility?


Regardless, I think we can all agree that these rumors and BS the last week are pretty much all the Spurs fault.

 

[D-Dogg]

Precisely.

I put forward the same general idea a few days ago, though I didn't list ESPN as the designated hype generators - they were clearly willing collaborators but the GMs and even the players contributed greatly.

Nice work.

So if you can't find someone or something to blame, you just blame the Spurs? Strange.

I'll let you one thing. All these rumors have distracted me from thinking about the suspensions.

I thought Spurs fans were fond of referring to their GM as "CIA Bob." Nothing like a good disinformation campaign to break in Kerr, who is definitely "off the reservation."

which is best for us all.
