I feel insulted....
Their is no moderation in this Forum?
Is it possible to insult a country like that in a Forum (a basketball forum).
What will be your reaction if I was saying american are stupid, or that your army is loosing a war in Irak now because they are soft?
I was hopping for more reaction here. This kind of post should not be found in a NBA forum in my opinion.

Teej and others worked it out, and in the process we learned a few things that we didn't know about like the French's participation in WW I and their influence in the development of our military.

No harm done. We can all move on.

The same excuse Bell had...we could get NOTHING in the paint because Mek played like he was scared of Yao, so we had to resort to perimeter shots. I didn't see LB bitch at all about all those shots, and everyone knows damn well he would have if he thought it was an issue.

I have no earthly idea why Felton is getting any grief after the damn eggs Crash/Diaw/Okafor laid defensively last night.

What I saw from Boris last night wasn't "just how he is". Even tho Scola lit him up the other night he was at least trying. He, Crash & Mek all just WATCHED guys go to the rim and get a pass for an uncontested dunk. Even tho Carney & Gomes was steadily hitting perimeter shots Crash would REPEATEDLY sag off them.

And Vlad was no better. I know he's for offense only, but Jesus how hard is it to stay with a guy camped on the baseline?

I'm so fucking disgusted right now with every one of them I can't hardly stand it.

Seriously, couldn't agree more: from the fraidy-cat effort by Mek against Yao to the matador defense by the frontcourt against the Wolves. It was really disheartening to see they weren't too tired to score, but they'd be goddammed before they put some effort on the other end. We'll see where it goes from here, but this was obviously a big blow to the postseason, not necessarily because of the loss and whom they lost to, but because of the way they lost.



And just let me add, I love the French. I don't, generally, care for Parisians as most I've met are indeed snobbish, but otherwise, Frenchmen are beautiful people: intelligent, fun-loving, polite, passionate, etc. Just wanted to let it be known to our French members, like ArcandiaS, that TheBeagle is PRO-FRANCE!!!

I like them too! Boris and Lexy are two of my favorite players, I just think they are soft...just like the French...and most Euros...

My entire backround is European, I have family in Europe, I have friends from europe, and I love them, but I'll be damned if I'm not the only one who calls them out for being wusses half the time.

The problem with our team is that our bench isnt that good yet and so LB uses the starters more (which we have all seen) and they are worn out making them look like they do right now.... Whats to do about this? Work on the bench during the off season.... Also "Make Mek Mean", work on Ray's shooting or confidence, work with Diop on his offensive skills and work with everyone on the free throw shooting and passing skills..... Until we work out these things with this team we are going to continue to be mediocre
