Atlanta Braves Thread VI

Bingo. Absolutely. In the words of Crash Davis "don't f with a winning streak"

Amen sir!

 

[GAVol]

i also saw him "attack" Verc in the Hawks/Pacers thread

Attacking a Hawks fan is like attacking a mailman that's currently being bitten by a dog. There's nothing you can say to make him anymore miserable than he already is, so it's always going to be lame.

Mookie Blalock ain't walking through that door

Spud Webb?

Him too. Steve Smith also.

Kevin Willis might though. Pretty sure he's the only player to play for the Hawks in 7 different decades. I'm sure he'd still give it a go at age 126.

That was a man. Dude was chiseled. I miss that NBA. The days of the power forward and center

I missed the event at the time it happened but what I never understood was it seemed like fairly generic ball busting to me when I went back and read it. Haven't these types of discussions taken place in this thread before? I thought we'd made it to friend zone level: ball busting.

It escalated a little beyond generic ball busting when he decided to ridicule me for being a stay at home dad.

The next day, I called him out on some passive-aggressive, sarcastic stuff aimed at me he was posting about Jordan Schafer, and he flipped out and stomped off.

I think you guys are right that he overreacted because I brought up Chris Paul (back when I thought we were just in the generic ball-busting stage), but he certainly and subsequently lashed out like he's held some longstanding grudge against me. Which I don't understand. I haven't had a problem with him, so I guess it's been one-sided hatred. Ah well.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Steve Smith deserved a hell of a lot better than to spend his career here. He's a really good player that could have been the second banana on a championship team.

He was great. Just went about his business day in and day out. Loved to watch him play.

Does seem like forever ago when that was the norm. Besides your Grizz, I can't think of too many teams who even have close to that combo. At least not having two guys who are that size who actually want to play that size.

With such a pure shooter like Stacy Augmon on the other wing, it's hard to believe things didn't fall into place.

Braves own the nationals.

Guess I missed a little of the personal-ness of it while skimming the next day. Again, because I thought it started mostly over a game, I thought it was textbook ball busting.

Bulls, maybe Pacers?

That was the one I thought of as a possibility. Also, even though I don't see a lot of their games, from what I hear/read Pistons could qualify also.

Ya them too. Imagine if David Robinson and Tim Duncan played together longer

You guys gotta see how the Blues just beat the Kings on a shorthanded goal in OT. Really misplayed puck by Quick...and on a 4 min power play, at that.

Love/hate relationship with this time of year with Braves almost every night and NBA and NHL playoffs, especially first round, too much to keep up with!

I love it, Inside the NBA every night on TNT for 2 months is awesome

It is awesome but for tomorrow I already know that I've got Braves/Nats and B's/Leafs at 7:00. No clue what the NBA playoff games for tomorrow night look like on top of that.

Reggie Miller: "Let's see the reacharound here, did he get all ball?"

A good reach around should get more than that.
