Nick Van Exel says..."...

somebody else took the game from us. it wasn't what the spurs did...<br>
<br>
can't the spurs say that about game 1?<br>
<br>
can't any team always say that when the game is close? <p></p><i></i>

Nick Van Exel is shooting 28% for the series. He has bigger things to worry about than the officiating. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub179.ezboard.com/bsanantoniospurs62937.showUserPublicProfile?gid=pitter5008@sanantoniospurs62937>Pitter5008</A> at: 5/22/03 1:48:57 am<br></i>

13 points is close?<br>
<br>
I think the Mavs were hammered, had a late run, and the Spurs came back on them.<br>
<br>
<p></p><i></i>

Maybe if his team had a clue about how to play defense, they wouldn't be in that type of situation to have to resort to blaming the refs. <p></p><i></i>

Tack it up there on the bulletin board for next game. Thanks, Nick da Prick for the extra motivation! <p>--<!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><br>

Now i personally dont agree with what Nick said, or even if i did, he shouldn't have said it on national tv<br>
but name calling is uncalled for<br>
go to the dallas board and you wont see any of that going on<br>
even though we could easily come up with some if we were to stoop to some of yalls(not everybody) level <p></p><i></i>

He should shut up in this series. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.nba.com/media/spurs/robinson_030222.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>

My dear troll dude, that took two minutes at most. I'm sure that's a small sample of examples, there are probably a lot more.<br>

Thanks for volunteering to be the litmus test on what is and is not name calling. However I will still stand by my original post and propose we let the readers decide. <p></p><i></i>

This must be a SA thing, cause i have never seen anybody on the dallas boards refer to posters from another town called that. so if calling me a "troll" makes you feel better about yourself then go right ahead <p></p><i></i>

Troll implies one who is here to cause trouble. Which may not mean you <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>exactly</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, since I am the one who makes that judgement. It is messageboard lingo, which you may not be completely aware of.<br>
<br>
And for the record, I've had a post deleted from DB's messageboards with absolutely no provocation on my part. In fact it was to announce TD's MVP award via johnny ludden's leak. Being an ambassador for this site, I was very suprised. I had iintended long ago to add DB to our EZboard's finest, but shied away from that since.<br>
<br>
Also, we've had to deal with one of DB's posters (some teenage girl) who came into this forum and ran childish smack. That is not tolerated. People from time to time get animated, but It doesn't ever get out of hand.<br>
<br>
// <p>www.SpursCentral.com</p><i></i>

Well if thats true then DB should have never deleted your post. they are wrong for that <p></p><i></i>

Way to quickly prove his sanctimonious post wrong, sis. <p></p><i></i>

I can't believe how big a deal y'all are making out of what Nick said. . They had just finished a very emotional game and emotions got the best of him. He is probably no different than many athletes who would spout off so soon after a game like that. I'm sure that if the same question was asked the next day his response would have been different. No doubt he is also upset with his poor play which added fuel to the fire.<br>
<br>
From a Mavs fan perspective I don't see Nick as the "PUNK" many of you refer to him as but rather I see him as an emotional spark plug that is badly needed on a very un-emotional team.<br>
<br>
I strongly feel that had it not been for Nick calling out his team in the SAC series they would have lost and maybe in a sweep. People lead in different ways. <p></p><i></i>
