Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Passing The Time: 101Q Series for the Summer #4

Grrr....  (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

Annnd we're back. I am no longer a resident of New York... now I'm back home (with my parents... laugh it up) in Northern Virginia. I will be unpacking and settling in for a bit, but I wanted to make sure my beloved Mavs fans weren't neglected so I'm keeping up with these shenanigans as best I can. 

Today's questions should be fun for you guys, since I know on this blog we like to gripe :) Get out your Haterade and mix it up nice and strong...

7. Other than your obvious rival (Spurs, duh), which team do you hate to lose to most?

8. What one great player in the league would you not take on your team for any reason and why? And don't say LeBron... be less obvious!

7. Houston Rockets
8. Chris Bosh…is he ‘great’?

Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.

Reason for Bosh

He plays the same position as Dirk, can not play center at all, and doesn’t seem like a genuinely good person. Not quite LeBron’s level of douchbagery but too close for comfort.

Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.

7. Houston (Denver a close second)
8. Bosh or Boozer for simliar reasons as to what Mic said.

7. Lakers – its not all about Shaq/Kobe/Gasol. This goes back to the days of Magic/Kareem/Worthy. For all anyone wants to talk about us losing to Miami, those Lakers teams kept us from winning at least one title (especially in 87) because we were clearly a top 3 basketball team year in and year out.
8. Pierce- Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great player, but he’s going to decline quickly and he’s arguably one of the biggest floppers I’ve ever seen. Simply, I don’t like the way he plays the game…

On another note, if anyone's interested

turn over to ESPN Classic right now to watch a replay of the Lakers Mavs thriller from 07. Granted we lost in OT, but Dirk hit a huge 3 at the end of regulation to tie the game!

Long time no hate

The Mavs haven’t lost against the Heat since 2004.

I think you could get your hatin’ hat on this upcoming season. ;/

7. Jazz.
8. Matt Barnes. Trashy game and he was an annoying pest during the GS series.

Matt Barnes is great?

Haha, no way.

I totally missed that part of the question.

7. Lakers. Just for the reason they’re the team to beat in the West.
8. Boozer. Other from being a PF and not playing defense, this guy is one greedy man, also has no sense of loyalty. (I really really really wanted to say LeBron but…)

8. Joe Johnson.

7. Everyone

8. A.I/T-Mac and other “me-first” players.

HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THEM, I PRESS DOWN MAH GUNS!

7. Nuggets

I don’t know, I just hate the Nuggets…

8. Matt Barnes (dammit I woulda said LeBron too)

Yeah he’s a good defender or whatever, he’s a dirty player and I couldn’t support us having him.

7. Definitely the Heat.

8. Agent Zero. Even before the gun incident he may have been the most overrated ballhog in the league.

by JoeyJoeJoeJr.Shabadoo on Jul 29, 2010 5:12 PM CDT reply actions  

7. Denver.

8. Kevin Garnett (plays Dirk’s position, and is the ultimate jackass on and off the court. And he’s proud of it. Plus, the Boston Celtic version of Garnett isn’t that great…offensive and defensive skills deteriorating and very injury prone).

by tcat75 on Jul 29, 2010 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

Good question.

7. Suns, just because Nash dissed the Mavs. I’ll never want him to win it anywhere else. The Lakers & Spurs would be 1B & 1C in this discussion.

8. Tim Duncan, a.k.a., the ‘Big Whiner’. I’ve never lost so much respect for someone throughout their career than I have for him. His constant whining & bitching to refs knows no limits. And he gets every call, too!

by robthecob on Jul 29, 2010 6:47 PM CDT reply actions  

Ooh good point on number 8

I almost want to change my answer. That damned palms-up surprised face that he puts on after every foul call makes me hate him more every time I see it. I have also seen video of him swearing at the refs, which seems to diminish his supposed “good guy” reputation.

by JoeyJoeJoeJr.Shabadoo on Jul 30, 2010 12:59 AM CDT up reply actions  

You're seein' the same thing that I'm seeing.

The summer following Bobby Hurley’s freshman year at Duke, Coach K put a video together of his constant whining and cry-me-a-river face gestures he made a refs. If you recall, he was quite hated for it. Well, after he saw himself in that video, he changed his whole attitude and rarely ever whined again. I gained so much respect for him and actually started cheering for him.

This is exactly what Duncan needed to have done to him 10 years ago. With the way he acts, I just can’t believe that the refs give him every stinkin’ call. If the Mavs even breathe on him, they get called for it. I just don’t understand why he whines so much. The refs are his #1 ally.

by robthecob on Jul 30, 2010 8:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

1- Spurs, Lakers, Magic, Nuggets, Peñarol.
2- I’m not against any great player coming to Dallas, no matter how much I hated him before. The problem is the Mavs tend to pay big time money (via trade, S&T or regular FA signing) to players that were great years ago.

7. New Orleans. They sucked last year, yet still managed to beat us twice. The ’08 playoff series also left a bad taste.

8. Manu Ginobili. If he played like a man, I’d have some respect for him. Unfortunately, flopping like a bitch is not playing like a man.

by mike_o on Jul 29, 2010 11:16 PM CDT reply actions  

7. L.A. Lakers – I hate that team with a passion that is uncomparable.

8. Manu Ginobli – My only regret involving him is that Najera didn’t faceplant him. (as cruel as that sounds)

Golden State, although I don’t hate Nellie
probably Baron Davis

7. Miami. It’ll be even more so this year.
8. Other than Wade? Duncan. I’d hate to have to pretend to agree that he didn’t foul anyone.

by HawkeyedFrog on Jul 30, 2010 4:39 AM CDT reply actions  

7. Houston, Portland, Miami
8. Dewayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony,

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are not their stories,.......

by robbo24 on Jul 30, 2010 7:57 AM CDT reply actions  

7. The Lakers. Because it’s a feeling like no other to have to walk out of the AAC and run smack into a gang of Faker fans. I felt like a Visitor in my own goddamn house!!!

8. Carmelo Anthony. He’s just not worth it.

Yes, I know, I misspelled Michigan. Bite me.
