Boy that Tony Par... umm I mean Jesus is one great ballplayer isn't he. 1/6, 3 assists in the first half. Constantly getting abused by francis in the second. Where do I sign up for the fan club? Man I hate the Spurs announcers.
whatever...No one said he was Jesus. Spurs fans are just excited by what he brings to the Spurs. Everyone wanted to see how Parker performs against a premier PG like Francis. So what if he was 1 of 6 and 3 assists. Francis does that to everyone doesn't he?
You must not have been listening to the Spurs announcers. Everything he did was amazing in every single way. He shot amazingly well, played defense great, might've had 34 assists if the Spurs could hit their shots (guess what announcers no one shoots 100%), and was just all around amazing. I mean please.
Perhaps he turned the Spurs Gatorade into wine, and the resulting impairment is the reason the Rockets crept back into the game.
The kid will be good, but from what you guys were saying about the announcers, that's just sad. In any case, it was fun watching Francis shake the kid off of him throughout the second half.
I can agree on the announcer bit. I'd rather catch the game on TNT if its on. I prefer the non biased broadcast. Are you guys hearing Sean Elliot broadcast?
Yes, Sean Elliot. I was listening to the "Tony Parker" show and wondering how this broadcast could be aired. I don't mind announcers that are homers, but Elliott and that other knucklehead were stroking each other into a frenzy over Tony Parker. It was insane trying to listen to those two. Like I said during the game, Parker could've run to mid-court, dropped his shorts, taken a dump and they would've said he did it well for a kid of 19 years of age. I mean he's good, but he earned himself the nickname of "Jesus" in chat because those 2 clowns were worshipping his every move. I finally turned the broadcast volume down after I had heard enough of them. Then when Steve started lighting him and the Spurs up, I turned the volume back up to see what they were saying about Jesus. Elliot proceeds to say something like (paraphrasing), "Francis is scoring a lot of points, but what good is it if you're team's not winning". Uh... wait... your boy just got his ankles broken... comment on that please. On the flip side, Parker makes a penetration into the defense and they act like it's the second coming of Jordan. For crying out loud, the guy just drove to the freakin' basket... it's been done before!
All I know about the announcers is this: Elliot looks scared. What's the other guy's name that he announces with? I've twice seen them do TV interviews after a game, and I swear that other guy looks like he's about to lay his head on Elliot's shoulder. Especially when Elliot is talking; the guy is just leaning in, glaring at him. It's creepy.
Tony Parker is Jeebus!!!! What the hell was all that talk about Francis not showing Jeebus any respect? Franchise isn't waiting for no rookie. USA Today matchup of the week...WTF is USA Today smoking. Cool under pressure? WTF...Give me Duncan and Robinson and you take Cato and Thomas...I'll show you cool under pressure. Parker's a good player but I hate him cause of the Spurs broadcast crew. They couldn't get off his jock for 5 minutes, I thought he would not be able to perform.
Christ Returns to NBA After a two-year hiatus from basketball, Jesus Christ returned to the NBA last night, playing with his former team, the Atlanta Hawks. Christ, who quit the sport in May 1994 to focus on spreading His message of universal love and compassion, made His triumphant return last night against the Bulls, just in time for Easter Sunday. The return of Christ, who averaged 18.2 points and 7.3 assists per game during his 10-year NBA career, has excited success-hungry Hawks fans, who are calling Him the team's "Savior." Said Atlanta resident and devout Christian Jeff Voorhees, "Jesus is Lord." Christ's decision to return to the Hawks surprised insiders, considering for years the Nazareth native had been crucified by the Atlanta press. Ever since He was drafted third overall out of Texas A&M in 1986, Christ has been labeled "too passive and forgiving" to ever lead the Hawks to the promised land. Christ, however, has decided to turn the other cheek. "I forgive Atlanta Journal- Constitution sportswriter Stan Sheridan," Christ said. "He knows not what he writes." The closest Christ came to signing with another team came in December, when He spent 40 days and 40 nights in the desert with Detroit Pistons coach Doug Collins. After consulting His father, God, Christ decided to turn down the Pistons' offer of 30 gold pieces. "Get thee behind me, Coach Collins," Christ reportedly said. Though some say the media led Christ to quit basketball, many contend He quit after being betrayed by teammate Kevin Willis during a 1994 Celtics-Hawks playoff game. With three seconds left and the Hawks trailing by one, Christ was wide open underneath the basket for an easy lay-up. Instead of passing to the Christ, Willis took a wild shot from three-point range, missing the net completely. After the game, a visibly upset Christ stretched out His arms and said, "Kevin Willis, why hast thou forsaken me?" Despite the controversies, Hawks teammates and personnel are excited to have Christ back. Forward Stacey Augmon, just one of the many Hawks players who claims to have a personal relationship with Christ, said, "He's taught me so much, like how to love your enemies as yourself, to pray for those who hurt you, and when to pass up the three in favor of a higher percentage shot." Fans also eagerly await the return of Christ's "Ascension Dunk," a crowd favorite. In the patented dunk, Christ leaps His less-than-league-average 24-inch vertical, then miraculously ascends toward Heaven, floating in mid-air just long enough to stuff the ball. An accompanying angelic choir momentarily stuns His defenders as the ball comes crashing down on their heads. The move wowed audiences at NBA All-Star Slam-N-Jam dunk competitions for two years in a row. A three-time NBA All-Star, Christ impressed team doctors during a brief, closed-door workout Friday, in which He displayed His still-sharp shooting skills, dribbling ability and overwhelming love for all mankind. Team doctors also noted that in contrast to most players who take layoffs, Christ's body fat is just 3 percent, even lower than when He was playing. Christ attributed the low figure to His recent food-free, 2,000-year out-of-body reign in His Father's Kingdom. Meanwhile, the league made a special ruling regarding Christ's crown of thorns, deciding that He may wear the headpiece only so long as He does not "unwittingly anoint a player with the forgiving power of His Holy Blood." Though Hawks fans seem certain Christ can help the team, some NBA experts question whether Jesus is the Answer. "The healing power of His Holy Love may get the Hawks into the playoffs, but they can't ride it alone to the championship," NBA commentator Hubie Brown said. "What they really need is a solid power forward who can fill the lane, someone like Cliff Robinson." Some analysts think that Christ's injuries, along with His added age, may slow Him down. "Christ isn't going to be 32 forever, and, quite frankly, He hasn't been the same since the Romans drove holes into His hands and feet," NBA analyst and former coach Chuck Daly said. "A painful stigmata injury is difficult to overcome, and it may affect His shooting touch. Still, I'm pretty confident He can rise again."
How many times did that bald b*stard say "Parker right by Francis." But, they did say Steve was one of the top 2 or 3 guards in the league.
Wow, you mean the Spurs announcers were actually being homers? Damn, I bet that was annoying. Good thing we have such unbiased announcers in Bill and Calvin.
It went beyond being homers. Jocking your own players is one thing however knocking the other team's best player is dumb. Next time Calvin makes Kelvin Cato sound like not only an all-star but also says Cato can hold his own vs. Webber, Duncan, etc..., then its time to turn off my TV.
Some people might not like Bill and Calvin, but they are far from being big time homers. When have they not given props to people like Shaq or Webber, etc...
I'm taking it you missed the game where Bill kept praising KT's defense and actually said more than once that KT is one of the best defensive PF's in the league. He was talking about KT as if he were on his way to being named defensive player of the year, or at least being placed on the All-Defensive team. Anyway, maybe I didn't understand gr8-1's post in another thread, but he said that the spurs announcers did say Steve was a top 3 PG in the league. I'm not saying that these 2 assclowns are better than Bill and Calvin, but I do think it's silly for people to be complaining about what 2 Spurs announcers have to say about Spurs players. I mean the target audience for Spurs home broadcasts are more than likely Spurs fans. If EG was starting for us and playing at the same level as Parker, there's no doubt that Bill and Calvin would throw out the hyperbole to describe EG. Would you guys be complaining about Bill and Calvin's constant praise of Eddie "The Super Christ" Griffin?
Who cares?! Bill and Calvin do the same damn thing with Rockets players sometimes. So Francis got the better of Parker. Parker is playing great for a 19 year old rookie. Stop hating on the guy!!! His team got scoreboard tonight. Anything else you clowns would like to add???
