LOL! Yah, you could tell Lard Butt was uncomfortable with that part, they even showed the "Kiss of Death" of Mario Elie against the Suns Then Barkley had to bow down to the King and praise Olajuwon, and Kenny had his chance, yet again, to rob it into Bark's face (not by words, by just looking at him in a taunting fashion )
Good point. You're right. The perception of Tmac being selfish is still out there. I'm sure a lot of casual fans see the highlights of McGrady (ESPN/TNT), but they don't think much of it. Kinda like, "Yeah, that game he had was awesome. But we've seen it before. What else is new? He's still selfish." So, I think that there are a lot of people that still think that. They might feel differently if they had watched 82 Rocket games like we do.
Hey 2K! I'm getting 170kb download speed on the clips for the mavs game. YOU RULE MAN! 37 seeds and only 3 peers. WOW!
I love Charles...he spares no one in his criticism. Personally, you know he's a rocket's fan....i mean, he spends so much time motivating the Rockets, you'd think JVG would be calling him every night to beg him to rip on the team.
Yeah Dirk will try to take Bowen into the post (he should have been doing that in game 1), but if anyone thinks that will swing the advantage back to dallas doesn't know JVG. Once Dirk heads into the post, then the double teams will come. From all angles and all sides. Let Yao or Deke sneak over for some weakside blocks, and then I'd like to see what adjustments AJ and Dirk makes. If they don't even figure out that they can post up Bowen during the whole of game one, I don't like their chances of making the right adjustments in time.
No, you mean he spares no one from his "bitterness". If Barkley won a ring, things might have been different. But he clearly holds grudges against all the teams that stopped him from reaching his goal. The only exception is Jordan, because they have been friends for a long time. He will never admit it, but he is just a bitter, bitter person. And I think it is high time he lets it go, he has had a great career and should be content with that, no need to keep cringing everytime you see a retro clip of some team that beat you in the playoffs.
Barkley's ass has only been put on the panel to stir up all these problems and emotions for all basketball fans...he doesn't know crap and he is doing exactly what TNT wants him to do...hate on things and start commotions and it always works.... I don't waste my time with his comments honestly.
I like Barkley. He's funny and he's not afraid of stating his opinion. I love the Rockets and I love T-Mac. I dare say as much as anyone on this board, but T-Mac did earn his criticism last year. Now he has to regain his respect. He started doing that yesterday. I don't know why you guys are so down on Barkley.
Would you rather listen to 3 Ernie Johnson's up there? Barkley is there for one reason: his candor. Like someone else suggested, he spares no one from his criticism, and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. His comments on McGrady are dead on. If he wants, he can go to the rack every time.
