A old holiday greeting from our friend, Mr. Hate:
My Hate for you grows with each day Mr May…
Shall we discuss the unseemly pile of elephant excrement you tried to pass off today as insightful expert basketball journalism?Have you tried throwing yourself down the stairs before you apologize? Where to begin…1)”Scrape and claw?” First, nice sports cliche. I’m sure you gave it a hundred and ten percent. Also see point six below2)”Does Tony Allen really mean that much to this team?” Umm…you mean Tony Allen of the all rookie team? The guy who’s game has been favorably compared by “national writers and broadcasters” to Ron Artest? You mean Ricky Davis isn’t the most tired guy in the NBA? Hello Peter? Is this thing on? Hello? Oh, that’s right he wasn’t drafted high enough to be good but I digress.3)”But I can’t say for certain that he’s improved the talent base. Who can say?” After saying things like Wolkowitski and Sundov and Potapenko, saying we’re a hair more talented now, that shouldn’t be that tough. Two 7 fters under 22, lest we ignore TA, DWest, Marcus {It was you who said talented} or Gerald… {Gomes and Reed being people who hope to develop into 2nd team leaders who can help cut-into/build-on leads}4)”What no one in NBA history has ever done: build a winning team with a large component of late first round picks, second picks, and middle-of-the-road free agents” and this is a column on the Boston Celtics? It is so stupifying, I can only really offer expletives in response.5)Your NBA Crystal ball-I’m with Pop all summer in H.P. ME and everybody knows the injury worries around the long term San Antonio plan. That’s how they’re built.-see Wallace, Rasheed-”if he hasn’t been traded.” Report and verify. Sarcastic digs are what cost danbambino@aol.com his player access. We all hope it does the same for you.-Scalabrine is a practice player on a young team. Player coaching the young kids the ropes is the smart way to manage your investments in young and immature players. People to keep people out of clubs at 3. Easily moveable contract for the kind of player he is. Walter with red hair that can dribble.6)”not exactly a news flash” see point one. You sure you’re a professional writer Petey?7)”Springfield bound Al Jefferson” The amount of slapping this sort of sarcasm requires is illegal everywhere but Texas and Nevada. See Shaugnessy, Dan8)”The Bobcats may have a better talent base.” We can’t be embarassed “scratching and clawing” out a victory over these expansion weenies then can we? They’re obviously more talented….9)”Blount see where this is all going” this is your coup de grace Stinky Pete. Thank you Mr. Judy Miller May for waiting to the end to reveal your venousmous source. When you decide to eschew your journalist ethics and become a player-in-the-game’s mouthpiece, maybe you should remove that player’s manhood from your mouth…. {just a thought}
