Re: “Game 2: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89 (OT) — Can’t Repeat the Past?”
As Herrington pointed out, TA did flop AND that was a correct flagrant foul call. Both things can be true in the universe.
Hollins hasn't played the Grizz small for any extended period so I doubt he starts now. They key for MEM is to play a better brand of pick and roll defense which it looks like they figured out in the second half. Also, taking Prince out of the game improves the spacing enough on offense so that Zbo can punish Bonner in the post.
Re: “Haslam Cautions Fellow Republicans at Lincoln Day Dinner”
Just listen to oldtimer’s spill.
He would give the Democrats as well as Obama any pass on corruption and tyranny they need to further the leftist agenda. It does not matter what this country built its foundation on. It is just easier to see who the enemy of the LEFT really is by who they attack.
Anyone that loves America.
The left wants the power of that foundation. They cannot build because they don't know how. They can only use up the stored economic resources that were built by others for their own gain because they have no scruples when it comes to ethical behavior.
Re: “Haslam Cautions Fellow Republicans at Lincoln Day Dinner”
@CL,
That lecture did not sink in very well with you, did it?
The left as well as being persistent, corrupt, patient and without scruples or conscience can always see it’s best indoctrination work being handled in the media as well as institutions of higher learning. In fact, that has always been the target of socialist as well as the communist from the 40s. A target rich environment for Marxism.
Just look at you. Seems you were warned a while back but just never listened to the warnings. Should be all the proof you need.
Re: “Game 2: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89 (OT) — Can’t Repeat the Past?”
Very encouraging just like Game 2 against the Clippers.
Lionel has definitely figured out the key for the Grizz in this match up on both ends of the floor. Now the question is how Pop and the Spurs respond. They're a great team, but they're going to have to make sure they have the answers to win 2 more. After last night, I expect this to go 7 and come down to the final minutes in Game 7.
As an aside, after all these years of Ginobli flopping more than anyone in the NBA, there was some poetic justice in Tony Allen pulling the old soccer sell on a Ginobli foul. I figured the officials would drop the flagrant on review, but my only guess is they told Pop that they deserved the call after all these years.
I still hate that soccer flop business, but I can live with it from Allen solely because it worked against Ginobli.

To drug users, do not use drugs inside of a bar or public place, even if the owners do not disapprove. The law never has enough to do, and they actively look for cases like this to bust businesses like this. Drug dealers, do not sell your dope in a public place. The problem is that the owners of the establishment is going to get blamed, and they get in trouble.
And even though America is slowly liberalizing their drug laws, in Tennessee, any amount of pot, even a joint is punishable by up to 11 months 29 days. Hell, in Tennessee, one cannot buy wine in a supermarket or wine or liquor from a package store on Sundays, so legalized weed here is a dead issue.
I wish we lived in a World where one can look at naked women, snort drugs, shoot guns in the ceiling. We don't so shut up.

Prince and Arthur have been disastrous in this series. Start Qpon. And give Davis Arthur's second-half minutes if he has another bad first-half in game 3. And no more Tony Wroten.
Re: “Game 2: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89 (OT) — Can’t Repeat the Past?”
Oh, and Lionel has to get on the refs (in the press, not just during games) about how Diaw and Bonner "set" screens. I know the league has let this go, but Diaw and Bonner just go run into the our guys. It is impossible to play D on Parker if they don't get called for any illegal screens. A couple of whistles here and there would really change how these games go.
Re: “Game 2: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89 (OT) — Can’t Repeat the Past?”
I keep coming back to this idea that the Grizz should go ultra small when Bonner is on the court. Like either QPon or TA at the the 4 small. Tying in to Lowe's great article on the Bonner factor, DA cannot make them pay on D for playing Bonner so the other option is try to make him guard on the perimeter and blow by him. On D, just switch everything. Thoughts?

You live in Arlington. How about the lowdown on Taylor Flake, Class President of Arlington High School, not being allowed to speak at the graduation ceremony.
Seems to me if you can get enough votes to be class president, you should be able to speak. Are you sure it is not because of color?

Re: “Haslam Cautions Fellow Republicans at Lincoln Day Dinner”
I have constantly told you red-state-southern ultra gop conservatives, yes, with a touch of racism in it, to realize that there is a much greater share of the American people that don't think the same way they do.
These so-called scandals are nothing but conservative republicans with a good dose of racism in them fueling this fire that is really only manifesting its self within the gop framework and the Washington Beltway.

Re: “Game 2: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89 (OT) — Can’t Repeat the Past?”
Seems weird to write this, but Grizz in 7. SAS can play at a higher level than Grizz, but I dont think they can sustain it. Grit and grind has a chance to win the series.
Re: “Griz-Spurs Game 2 Preview: Everything is Everything”
Tough game. This will be a heck of a series. I like Randolph. It's unfair to expect him to carry the offense. If you ever want to trade him....
Re: “Beale Street Club 152 Hearing Postponed”
They will be open by Friday, I suppose that's enough time to change a few employees, but not a culture of tolerance for criminal activity, if that is what it is.
Re: “Haslam Cautions Fellow Republicans at Lincoln Day Dinner”
Good lord B_Head, what decade are you living in? I think we got this lecture (essentially) about 40 years ago and look where it got us. Thank you daddy, where have you been?
Re: “Griz-Spurs Game 2 Preview: Everything is Everything”
So the Spurs got here by beating the Lakers without Kobe and the Warriors without David Lee, and this guy wants to discount our route to the conference finals. Love it.
Re: “Haslam Cautions Fellow Republicans at Lincoln Day Dinner”
Oldtimer,
It sure ain't your Obama-Marxist Communist flavored-race colored Kool-Aid.
That much you can count on.
Re: “Griz-Spurs Game 2 Preview: Everything is Everything”
By the way, I do have tons of respect for the way the Spurs play between whistles. However, after the whistle, they're the biggest bunch of whiny crybabies in the league. No team even comes close to matching them.
Re: “Griz-Spurs Game 2 Preview: Everything is Everything”
To Grove: I can't deny that the Grizz play well against crippled playoff teams. The Spurs don't exactly have anything to whine about. They play clean, exciting basketball. And mostly win. It's almost showtime. Break a leg.

Re: “Haslam Cautions Fellow Republicans at Lincoln Day Dinner”
B_Broadhead
The thing that is wrong with your posts is that you fail to take into consideration on what the founders of this nation built it upon. This nation was built on the principle of majority rule.
You also conveniently refuse to recognize that President Obama was elected by the majority of electors as well as the majority of the voters. Not once, but, twice! Are you saying that 53% of the voters and over 70% of the electors were all leftists? Even if they were, which they surely aren't, either would be correct because the majority said so. Do you have a problem with majority, democratic rule? If so, you are in the wrong country.
As an aside, the total votes of the voters who voted for the U. S. House, garnered more votes than the republicans and if not for extreme gerrymandering, the house would also be democratic. Before you try to refute this fact, I suggest that you look it up.
The founders left room in the constitution for changes and the process to change it. Impeachment, hell, they even allowed for that. So, Broadhead, if you think that the president has committed impeachable crimes and/or misdemeanors including ethical violations, why can't the republicans impeach him? They can't do that because the majority of Americans support him.
It is not up to the minority to say something is wrong for they are subservient to the wishes of the majority. So, all I can suggest that you do is go out and get you a majority of the American people and make changes that you think is necessary. Until then, you are making yourself look silly and racist with your posts. It is like pissing in the wind. Everything is blowing back in your face.
