I am so mad. I'm wanting Minnesota to win this series in the worst way. What's really getting me pissed is that pippen has finally decided to actually try and win games. The only finger he could manage to lift while he was a Rocket was the one he used to point the blame at everyone else. So now he's on TV saying **** like "i just tried to sit back and adjust to my new team, but now it's the playoffs and I'm making it point to step up offensively...." blahblahblah whateverwhatever.... You see, what I want so bad is for the Wolves to take them out in the 1st round so that the world can be reminded of who scottie pippen really is. So now he's getting star treatment again. He's single-handedly saving his team from elimination and it's really pissing me off! There is still hope, though. Minnesota could easily take both of their home games, setting up a game 5 in Portland. If Minnesota can get the momentum they can take this series. Then we can all have a blast watching pippen shift and squirm while he starts blaming his teammates one by one. I can hear it now..... "I did everything that I was supposed to do, being the star that I am. Maybe if Sabonis and his fat ass hadn't blown that tip-in, or maybe if Sheed had the desire to win rather than always complaining to the refs. Damon needs to learn to give me the ball more so that I can jack up more 3's. Coach D's system doesn't really fit my game, that was a problem. I didn't particulary like the routine that the Blazer dancers did at halftime, either." punk ass. GO WOLVES! ------------------ RocketFuel is taking the summer off!
Damn Wally!! Your supposed to be a big time player and were a low lottery pick. Show up for Pete's sake. If you force Flip to have to play guys like Peeler, Seally, and Mitchell (who all try hard but are modestly talented) down the stretch you are dooming your team. You have had a full season and pre-season, play like you are supposed to. KG, get it together too. In the pre-season I said you were the best young player in the league, play like it. I want to see Hakeem/Jordon-esk efforts, I am talking 40 point offensively and shutting down both Wallace and Pippen. No more 20-10-7ish stuff, I want to see total domination that your ability should allow you to do. Just had to vent a little. I have just been very dissapointed in their complete lack of clutch play against of team made up of completely old farts. ------------------
Pippen never bothered me like he did everyone else, surely because I just don't take him seriously. Everyone knows he's not a go-to guy, Portland winning doesn't change that. I find most of his antics funny more than anything. Portland is just a strong team. I still think they can beat the Lakers in a series. I haven't been able to watch any of this Minnesota series yet, but I really think Sabonis needs to come off the bench, or be pulled from the rotation altogether. Wallace should start at center, with Grant at the 4. I would like them to dispose of the Wolves quickly, simply to get them out of the way (pretenders). I'd like to see the big boys go at it (Lakers losing is still by #1 priority though). I'm really enjoying the playoffs this year more than usual, mainly because the Rockets aren't in it I think. The past couple of years, when the Rockets have been knocked out early, I'd stop watching after that due to depression. Now that they're not in it, I'm really getting into the games (this prediction thing that Sir Scarv set up is helping too ) I would also like to add that it will be a MAJOR shame if we don't get to see Tim Duncan in this year's playoffs. Not only do the Spurs deserve to defend their title at (semi) full-strength, but he is just a beautiful player to watch in the post-season. He raises his game so much (probably more than anyone in the NBA right now), and is a truly great clutch player. It would just be sad if he didn't come back this year. ------------------ "Okay KG, next time down, you give Cousin Billy his turn, then he'll give Uncle Joe his turn, then we'll give Shaq a turn." -Rudy T, in the Dream Team 2000 huddle
Patience Grasshopper, the Roster will show his true colors given time. Mark my words, before these playoffs are thru the world will again see, "Quitten Time". DA...DA...DA.DUM,,ya can't quite this ------------------
