I thought it was bush of him to cry about "being held" when the replays clearly showed spectacular effort by Lue and restricting him and playing great defense.

I assume that the verb "bush", in your hipster surgeon argot, means "whining about a perceived injustice when in fact you just got beaten fair and square". Very apt given the election debacle, and I'm impressed that you've come around.

Regardless, though, I don't know what game you were watching. Lue was hanging onto Allen's wrists the whole time--tight enough to make LindyBill blush.

The first game I saw Allen was in an NCAA tourney game. I was just stunned. That guy is the fastest player in the history of the game, and one of only three truly great scorers in the last two decades--along with Michael and Larry. It's just that Allen never gets the calls. (But then, I actually haven't seen any star favoritism since MJ left, except maybe Shaq--but then, fouls are kind of meaningless when you're 320 pounds. Every single play, Shaq commits a couple of fouls, and gets fouled a couple of times).

Anyway, at least Id has come around on The Answer.

...WITH corrective lenses

Out of curiosity, what was your vision before you were surgically enhanced?

Iverson is unbelievably fast AND quick.

great defense.


True, as long as you also agree that it's bush for Phil Jackson to complain about Iverson's "travelling", for Shaq to complain that he doesn't get the calls (when he gets away with murder), and for Kobe to whine every time he turns the ball over...

It's part of the game these days. Complain, and get the officials to watch more closely. Magic was on the All-NBA complaining team.
