    Good find playlife.

    No wonder he said that, stats from a Rockets intrasquad camp scrimmage (from the picture of letter in T-mac's locker thread)

    You understated your case. That wasn't just one scrimmage, that was the cumulative stats from EIGHT scrimmages. Kinda throws the "my shot was off that day" excuse out of the window.

    Yeah right, you can apply the same logic based on Yao's 14/22 (63.6%) FT shooting listed on that stat sheet.

    Yao was working his way out of toe surgery resulting from issues with his toenail. Plus Yao shot 86.2% from the line during the season.

    That wasn't the point anyway. The point was that a big point of contention of why JVG was reluctant to give Spanoulis time was whether he was playing well in practice. Well.... now we have some actual information about how Spanoulis was doing in practice, and it doesn't look pretty for him.

    Ok, let's apply the same logic.

    Yao got his FT% up 13 points for the regular season to finish at 86% ..and Spanoulis got his 3pt% up 11 points to hit a blazing 17%.

    Checks out to me, bro.

    Yao's stats are irrelevant. VSpans scrimmage stats seem to back up the theory that he was not all that great in practice either.

    But what did Yao's toe surgery have anything to do with his stationary FT shooting?

    Spanoulis wasn't known as a spot-up 3-point shooter, so what else is there to reveal?

    that the reports Clutch posted of him looking as bad in practice as he did in games were true - reports that people were in denial about, and launched into absurd conspiracy theories about trying to disprove....people whose names rhyme with "TaTakota".

    Too bad tracy's clothes cover up the turnover numbers, I bet they were hilarious.

    Bad in JVG's system, maybe. But I guess JVG's system with the Rockets worked quite successfully in playoffs.

    LOL, I'd love to see the "system" that can camouflage a 6.3% 3 point shooter with a penchant for turnovers and buggery.

    Maybe you should go back to the barnyard with the rest of the SpanFans.

    Terrible comeback, guess they don't teach spontaneity and improv down at the Ministry of Information.

    Sammy, this is not place to pat yourself on the back. You've given lawyers in the US enough bad rep with your constant ramblings on this bbs.

    well you incorporated a lawyer joke, not super original, but I respect the effort, I will award you a 5.5/10 for that effort (which is also span's assist/turnover ratio).

    Don't humor yourself, Samantha. You are not worth a joke from me.

    Terrible. You get the spanoulis 1/16 for that one.

    And I am terribly insulted.

    I am worth many a joke from you. In fact, I hold you in joke-debt for the rest of your BBS days. You must balance your joke-ledger or prepare to suffer very dire consequences.

    Look Mr. Conspiracy Theorist, I had to search Yahoo search for that damn post. I really appreciate crap like this after unlike YOU, I actually bothered to SEARCH for the post.

    And I find it incredibly ironic that YOU point out a change to this when I was the one asking YOU BEFORE this why YOU were saying it said HE (as in Spanoulis) could not call his mom when I read it said his mom could not call him....


    So let me get this straight, I bother to find the article, I read it on the Spurs board, I am then accused by you of "insinuating" as I believe you put it, now suddenly the "article" has changed.

    After may I point out YOU apparently MISREAD what was said.

    As I said ORIGINALLY it read to me like his mom was calling.

    You are one funny guy I will give you that.

    Wait let me EDIT that you are one funny GIRL........

    wait, after there is confusion over a typo that apparently some people would be too dumb to realize was a typo I will KNOW there must be a reason GIRL was changed to GUY.........


    GOOD LORD :rolleyes:

    Go read it again, read Him then replace with Her.........

    My goodness the person typing it can barely even use proper English. It reads the same way, it was a typo, I pointed this out to you before you even grasped it and all you did was argue with me. A little slow on the uptake?

    ONE MORE post that accuses me of this and I will 100 percent demand this be taken up with the admin.

    Anyone accusing me of this better have proof. This could be a legal matter.

    ha ha ha ha ha, now this is a man who understands the finer points of funny. Take heed, wnes, you could learn a few things.....

    codell you better get yourself a lawyer. I know a few first amendment defense people but you might as well start up thinking of ways to ingratiate yourself to michael vick when you both go to the big house.
