    Close your eyes and imagine Francis saying the exact same thing. Do you think the reaction will be quite different in here?

    I've seen little meaningless quotes from Steve and people in here blow it out of proportion 1 too many times. I think that's all he's saying.

    Read FranchiseBlade's post again, and focus on the last paragraph....;)

    Whew! Okay, sometimes context gets lost in a post. My apologies, FranchiseBlade. I thought you were seriously doggin' Sura after that article.

    I love Bobby Sura. I love tough, smart, relentless, determined, focused, and inspiring. A hard combination to beat.

    Ming's comments about "feeling pressure" is a real window into his temperament. He just doesn't have a "give me the ball" attitude. I wish he did, but he is who he is.

    Well, looks like this kind of behavior goes for both Yao and TMac...

    The pissed off Rockets

    So, on Friday, I can't wait for Amare to dunk on Yao. I am expecting in the next possession, Yao will lift up Amare and jam his ass throw the hoop along with the ball.

    As for TMac? Dare Marion to rough him up, Tmac will break his ankle 27 times in the next possession before taking down the board with the finish.

    I love Jon Barry. I bet the media love to interview him. He always has some funny perspectives on things. And, yes, on the court, he's a hustle guy who can hit the open shot.

    hope we don't get into a fight cause most of our team will leave the bench and take up for each other.- suspensions

    I believe if someone took a swing at yao-
    sura, barry, TMac would be all over it.... Yeah that's right TMac the guy can show alot of fire if he's pushed ...

    the rest of the guys might be able to restrain but I think barry and sura would lose it taking up for Yao or anyone else.

    I prospose that we form a Clutchfans lobby group to pressure the state legislature to start funding stem-cell research at NASA in order to ensure that we can build a better, stonger, faster, healthier Bob Sura over the offseason.

    At the very least, we should map the portion of his genome that dictates aggression and use the knowledge to genetically modify Yao and T-Mac.

    Instant dynasty.

    Yes, in the Olympic qualifier last year (against a South American team). It wasn't as much as a fight, but close.

    T-Mac has gotten into little altercations with Bobby Jackson, and Eric Snow. He threw a ball at Jackson and shoved Snow in the face.

    Yeah the reaction would be different because some would say - wait a minute, now it hurts this guy that he has to sit and watch his teammates on the court and not be able to play when a few months before he chose not to be a part of the team by not getting on the airplane and head to phoenix with the rest of his 14 teammates just so he could attend the superbowl.

    I use to have that vid on my computer. TMac threw the ball at BJax after a foul and they straight went after it. It was sweet.

    The best is still Barkley vs. Shaq, best fight I've ever seen. Also, I liked when Chris Childs popped Kobe nicely on his face. :)

    A long time ago, before AOL's recent ad campaign sullied this great line, hundreds of readers would have instantly guessed the Six-Million Dollar man. Sadly, now all our images are comprised of fat yellow dots with disturbing appendages, causing him to look like the offspring of PacMan and a normal human being.

    What a dumbass. A buildup of scar tissue only means he came back too early and worked too hard early on when he was supposed to be taking it slow.

    I remember the Barkley/Shaq video was bad, you couldn't really see anything from the angle they had.

    But Sir Charles body slamming Shaq to the ground will never leave my mind. :)

    I believe his former detroit teammates made a less flattering comment about his intelligence?
