If China can skew to get Yao as a starter, why can't TWW get Gerald Wallace in there (and Okafor, Richardson and Felton)

12/27/2007 11:00:32 AM

no to felton, he still bleeds blue

12/27/2007 11:05:32 AM

i don't know how any nc state fan could cheer for the Bobcats

12/27/2007 11:06:05 AM

ok well at least get G-Force and J-Rich and Okafor in there

^I guess if the Carolina Hurricanes signed a UNC grad you'd just immediately start hating them

12/27/2007 11:06:12 AM

yeah, but they don't have the most prominent unc alum involved in managing the team, and consistantly drafting players from unc, (felton, may, wright), having players like jeff mcginnis, AND Mr. DUI himself, Phil Ford...

I LOVE THE NBA, but can't stand the bobcats...

12/27/2007 11:10:52 AM

Please show some love for Ryan Hollins, quite possibly UCLA's greatest center ever and a top 50 NBA All-Time lock....

12/27/2007 11:12:28 AM

and the Bobcats just hired Jason Capel as a Sports Analyst for their Radio Show

way too many Tar Fags associated with that program

12/27/2007 11:16:22 AM

^you might want to quit your job...i'm sure there are at least a couple tar fags that work at whatever company you work at

^^you might have to write him in

^^^in case you missed it, Branden Wright was a Bobcat for all of 2 hours, Sean May is out for the season and probably won't ever play here again, and who gives a shit about Phil Ford? Can you name any other assistant coaches in the whole NBA?

hey maybe you can cheer for the Wizards instead...Jamison and Haywood are both starters

I don't know how anybody could NOT like the Bobcats now that we traded away Brezec

QUESTION: Did you all who happen to be Panthers fans HATE the Panthers when they had both Julius Peppers AND Kevin Donnelly starting? Or could you actually see past that kiddie shit to pull for your local NFL team?

I HATE UNC with a passion. There is no other team in the NBA with as much Tar Heel Blue associated with them, hence, its impossible for me to ever like them.

12/27/2007 11:22:33 AM

I never really cared for Adam Morrison either

12/27/2007 11:24:50 AM

^^i hate UNC also as i'm sure most people that post in Sports Talk do

tell me, do you refuse to shop at a certain store or work with a certain company if they also happen to have a few people who work for them who happened to go to school at UNC?

Did you hate the Hornets when they pulled the exact same shit and drafted J.R. Reid 5th overall instead of say Tim Hardaway or Sean Kemp?

12/27/2007 11:25:22 AM

DON'T WATCH ESPN!

12/27/2007 11:26:59 AM

yeah Stuart Scott works at ESPN, therefore fuck that entire network...I'll never watch a State game on ESPN since they employ fucking tarholes

12/27/2007 11:28:38 AM

monopoly... next...

12/27/2007 11:28:47 AM

Microsoft probably has a UNC grad working for them

I'm gonna refuse to use Windows, Word, Outlook, etc from now on

FUCK UNC

The same way a NC State fan can also be a Duke fan... rooting for one of your local rivals is retarded.

[Edited on December 27, 2007 at 11:31 AM. Reason : none of those guys deserve it..]

12/27/2007 11:31:35 AM

who the fuck is rooting for a local rival

and if you dont think gerald wallace desrves to be an all star, its clear you dont follow the NBA

not at all, its not the question of a few people, its the environment and the mindset of people around that organization that bothers me.

as for work, you work where you get a job, if i had the option of simliar jobs working at a company that is headed by a UNC alum and one from any other school, id pick the one where the guy didn't go to UNC.

Im not trying to get real picky here, but I can't go from hating a player for 2 years, but then liking him all of a sudden when he is on the team/organization that I like.

I grew up in the DC Area and therefore love the Redskins/Wizards, but ive been a fan since they were the bullets, and I still hate Jamison and Haywood and pray everyday that we trade them away. I would never vote for them in All Star Voting no matter how well they did for my team.

12/27/2007 11:33:23 AM

^^ the person I was responding to is a huge Duke fan... and I was more referring to Felton, Okafor and Richardson as not deserving it..

^ you don't have a pro sports mentality then. I want the best players to be on my favorite team, regardless of where they went to school. Shit, I really wanted the Warriors to get Sheed.. he would fit PERFECTLY on that team.

That said, MJ has made some really BAD decisions. Drafting Morrison and May are two of them.. I still like the Felton draft pick...


[Edited on December 27, 2007 at 11:37 AM. Reason : x]

12/27/2007 11:35:01 AM

Felton is the only UNC player associated with the Bobcats that I find tolerable

but I'm not gonna refuse to pull for an NBA team based on where a few of their players went to college

especially when I was born in Charlotte, grew up in Charlotte, and live in Charlotte

im not discounting that one bit, its just that the thread reads, "get some BOBCATS in there"

12/27/2007 11:35:46 AM

fine, vote for Wallace, Richardson and Okafor

I just figure we have enough poll skews on this site that aren't deserved either, why can't we skew a poll that actually matters

12/27/2007 11:37:20 AM

i grew up a Duke fan, but went to State. so i'm a fan of both. I guess that is pretty dumb but obviously there are plenty of people like that.

anyways, all i'm saying is that I can never honestly root for someone like Felton,McInnis, or May to do well. so I will never like the Bobcats until most of those players are gone (and I have a feeling Felton will be there forever)

also, i'm still pissed that the Hornets are gone. I grew up a huge Hornets fan. it's just not the same. Bobcats Arena is pretty nice, though

[Edited on December 27, 2007 at 11:38 AM. Reason : ]

12/27/2007 11:37:25 AM

I hope May steps in front of a bus and dies

doesnt mean I want the Panthers to go 0-16 just because Peppers went to UNC

and to me Felton is the one UNC basketball player since I dunno, maybe Rasheed Wallace, that I don't completely hate

I cringed as much as anybody else when we drafted May but luckily that fat piece of shit is out for another season and probably won't wear a Bobcats uniform again...and Wright was still the no-brainer pick at the 8th spot since he was projected 3rd in a lot of drafts

12/28/2007 11:08:23 AM

Reading this I feel as if I am reading packpride. All they ever do is whine and complain about how they hate the bobcats and panthers because of a unc bias. Geez people get over it. I am a die hard state fan and I still like the panthers and bobcats!

12/28/2007 9:04:41 PM

would have voted, but dont feel like signing up to do so

see that doesn't make any sense. when he's healthy may is a solid contributor, so i don't know why you'd want him to not play, especially with the lack of frontcourt talent

May has been alright when healthy but has very very seldom been healthy

12/28/2007 11:11:45 PM

i despise both UNC and Duke but if the bobcats can draft one of those guys to make them better, fuck it.

not that duke would put someone in the draft worth a fuck but that's a whole completely different subject.

12/28/2007 11:43:06 PM

they'll still wreck our shit this season

and

sum up my stance pretty nicely
