I'm watching the San Antonio Spurs against the New Orleans Hornets, just to check out the competition. And I must say, these announcers suck!

Complete homers. Everytime something happens, they raise their voice and chant "Duncan." They throw around stats that make San Antonio sound perfect. They throw around stats that make N.O. look like crap. Guys, at least try to make the game interesting. Even if S.A. is up by 18, try to not say "Oh, this game is over" with the second half to go. Retards. Everytime the ball doesn't go in for N.O., the announcers start talking about the awesome defense of the Spurs. They'll say it even if no one was around the ball when the shot was taken. It's horrible. And then they ask stupid rhetorical questions like, "Do you think playing alongside Tim Duncan is great?" And that brings me to my next point.

Tim Duncan is overrated. Fundamentally sound, yes. The best in the league, no. The best center in the league, no. The best power forward, no. So he averages over 20 points a game and 10 rebounds a game. If I was his size, I should be doing the same thing. Have you seen him take a three point shot? Of course not. Yea, he can post, but that's also due to his size. Talented, a bit. But not to be put in the same category as Magic, Jordan, or Bird.

I hope the Spurs lose the rest of their games. That would expose them for the talent frauds they are.

Just saw this on the news. I hate protesters. Why do people try to force their beliefs on others? Does having a large group of people make it right? If they don't get their way, what do they do when they get home? Do they cry? I understand the need for some protests. It let's people be heard and what not. Don't block my streets, don't block the way to my destination. The protests that involve those things are more detrimental to society. And instead of just saying, "Don't do this because it's wrong" give us a reasonable solution. For example, if you don't like people using gasoline because it hurts nature, instead of whining your ass off in front of gas stations, hit the labs and make an engine that is just as efficient but doesn't harm the environment. Oh, you can't build a perpetual motion machine? Then get out of my face. Don't impede the progress of society, rather improve it by compromising.

By the way, as soon as the announcers started praising Hedo Turkoglu, he got injured. Those damn announcers screw up everything. Please Spurs announcers, don't mention the Mavericks. You might jinx them, too. Instead, keep talking about the Spurs.
