probably too late for this thread, but I totally disagree, bong, and my memory is not short. Magg sucks, he is a talented athlete (obviously) who figured out how to score 20 pts. and get to the foul line. Beyond that, he has no value to a basketball team. He sucks on defense, he doesn’t pass, he is not a good shooter, and he completely disrupts any offensive flow. Glad he is on GS and not the Clips. I don’t necessarily think MDSr. handled him the right way in the 40-42 season (probably should have started Magg after it was clear the line-up needed a shakeup after the bad start, instead of constantly blaming the Moscow trip) but there is no way MAgg is worth what he is getting paid now.

How come he didn’t use Kareem Rush early on? We could have won few more games with his defense. And he didn’t even think of using Novak when we’re down big in several games.

and what if we couldn’t have moved zbo ? which was very likely if memphis wasn’t having a cancer survivors party.

True, but keep in mind that Portland unloaded Zach to NY for literally no one, and we gave up only Cuttino and TT for him. Both players were on their last legs – so it can be argued that the trade for Zach was a decent one. In essence, the Clips traded Cuttino and TT for Telfair, Smith, and Butler, who the Clippers were able to acquire due to additional cap space.

Yes, the 2000-2003 Gentry Clippers. And that brief period Dennis Johnson coached. The last time we had a real coach.

But the Borat comment is out of line.

I’m Iranian, myself. This is insane. Almost everyone in this country says “Eye-Ran”. Yes it’s ignorant, I’d prefer it if people got the name right, but it’s nothing to get suspended over. Lord knows nothing ever happened to George W. Bush. There’s nothing really offensive about the exchange, Sacha Baron Cohen’s mother is of Persian Jewish descent, and sorry our guards aren’t international All-Stars. What a joke, I feel bad for Ralph. (I love Mike Smith as an announcer, but I’m used to his right-wing comments on occasion).

Am I missing something? Is this an alternate dimension? “but there were many many many times Brand and Maggette put the team on their backs and won”.

When was this ever true? Maggette is the worst 20 point scorer I have ever seen. The only year we were good, 05-6, Maggs was out almost the entire year. I jumped for joy when MDSr. let him walk.

They were commenting about an Iranian player, and they brought up that stupid movie and some viewers called and complained. What else could go wrong with this season?
