How Bill Plaschke taught me that I'm the best writer in the world

Have you considered that Plaschke might have been drunk when wrote that?

According to his logic, since CP3’s mistake cost the Clippers the game, it means he is so, so valuable that when he makes mistakes his team losses.

Plaschke is an idiot. A lot of writers could do a better job but the L.A.Times probably wants someone who panders to the lowest common denominator. Ziller wrote an article similar to this one, destroying Plaschke’s "thoughts" on the lockout.

Maybe it’s that terrible writing that got him kicked off that HBO show, before he even had the chance for 1 episode.

On the other hand, Kevin Arnovitz is pure genius: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/37148/the-spurs-quiet-rampage

LOL! He lacks common sense!

Bit I doubt that bill placid will read it (or try in response if he does )

I think there is a portrait of the Spurs that is growing old somewhere.

Well said. I enjoyed your insight and I’m satisfied enough to anoint you the greatest writer in the world. (Like Plaschke, I lack any empirical proof).

That is just really frustrating. I am the biggest Tony hater in Spurs land and I would not trade Tony for Paul this season. No way. I watch every Spurs game and ALMOST ever Clippers game. Chris Paul plays in spurts and doesn’t seem to always know when to be aggressive or when to be passive. He gets frustrated when things aren’t going his way and either seemingly checks out for parts of the game at a time or allows his opponent to dictate the way he is going. I think he is really missing Chauncey and dare I say that Chauncey was the floor general of that team? I’m not sure. The person who handles the ball most isn’t always the leader—Tim Duncan showed us that for years. So where Paul was getting the lump sum credit for all the success (and stop and think about how curious it is that he is already getting almost zero blame for that turn over at the end of regulation, had it been Lebron, Kobe, Westbrook, they’d be getting destroyed), his flaws shouldn’t be over looked, flaws that maybe Chauncey covered up.

This year Tim is playing around half the game and Tony is in there pacing the Spurs through everything. His decision making is almost flawless all year long and when matched up against other elite point guards he shines even more. Quite pittiful indeed that after a performance where Chirs Paul was out played and made the biggest mistake of the game, he is deemed most valuable player in the league by a guy who is read so widely. Gross.

I just want the Spurs to bring up another big for reserve purposes from the Toros while Tiago is out. It just makes sense.

Two guys, other then Malcolm Thomas, that I wouldn’t mind the Spurs taking a look at if Tiago is out for awhile.

He just didn’t want to throw his guy under the bus after the guy made a horrible mistake. Still, Paul kept them in the game. I was really enjoying reading that article though. It just shows how much the Clips and their fans got hurt by today’s loss.

Did anyone else notice when Neal met Paul at half court, Neal said something to Paul. Paul reacted like a little B!#$% and said something back to him. I think it was after the big 3 pointer in OT or maybe the 3 to tie at the end of regulation. Paul even did this little frustrated arm wave towards Neal.

Thought it was funny!

What a tool. Horrible reading.

Tony has ALWAYS been Chris Paul’s better. This season, in the playoffs, head-to-head, you name it.

Bill Plaschke sounds like Mr. LA, Mr. New York, Mr. Miami, Stephen A. Smith. Tony should be considered for MVP. Tony has been playing out of his mind. He won’t get any love of corse but it doesn’t matter. As long as we’re the last one standing at the end of the year, it will make up for all the disrespecting during the season.

This is totally off topic but someone should do a post on George Hill and his impact on the Pacers. I read a post a while back that said we raped the Pacers in the trade. It made me mad because I don’t think it’s just coincidence that the Pacers were doing so well with GH and then started floundering when he went down with an injury. I think what he gives the Pacers is priceless. Just like when we got Mario Ellie or Rob Horry.

We could really use that Lorbek guy about now. He’s supposedly lighting up the Euroleague. . . .

SO WHY CHRIS PAUL IS NOT THE MVP

SIMPLE: he gets paid millions of $$$$ and does know the rules of the game he is paid to play. If he knew that he was not in danger of a backcourt violation, then all he had to do was dribble the ball around. But he does not and he thought he was going to turn the ball over, when in fact, he was not but he turned the ball over to the most dangerous three ball man the Spurs had at that time, Neal. Paul, do yourself a favor and go read the rulebook. Or better yet, don’t and let smarter teams continue to beat you

Bill Plaschke is kind of a silly guy. If you have ever tried to follow his line of reasoning on ESPN, you know that logic is not his strong suit. One thing I have always found kind of amusing about him is that he writes for an El Lay paper and sings the praises of the Lakers, but he is ironically always on his high horse about middle America morality and family values. Go figure.

Anyway, if you are going to be a homer, I say you at least try to be an honest homer.

I read some of Plaschke’s articles a while back
He’s terrible. It’s not just that he’s a bad writer – he is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too negative

Losing Manu and Splitter might mean we free &erson with Kawhi getting time at the 4? I just want a big. The Jazz will be quite a challenge without Tiago. Hopeful Blair can step up his game.

Ha! Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak took down the Mav’s!!! Lin Sanity!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Ryan the temp!!! (BJ “Novak”)

Manu Ginobili and Tiago Splitter will both miss Monday’s Spurs-Jazz game in Utah.
Ginobili (strained left oblique) has returned to San Antonio and he will be examined by Spurs team physicians on Monday and will undergo an MRI.
Splitter (strained right calf) remains with the team on the trip.
