Nelson has been singing Sacramento's praises all season. Even when Dallas started 14-0 and had by far the league's best record, he called the Kings the team to beat.
Before Game 1, Nelson talked about Sacramento having two of the NBA's best-passing big men in Chris Webber and Vlade Divac. After Webber had 24 points, nine assists and six rebounds, Nelson said Webber could have been the MVP this past season if he'd been healthy. Van Exel would like the compliments to stop `I don't want to hear that these guys are the greatest things on the planet,'' he said. ``They're a great team, no doubt. But I don't want to hear that every day.'' Van Exel's solution is to adopt an anti-Kings attitude. He believes the Mavericks need to focus strictly on themselves and stop worrying about whether Sacramento has their number. ``That's how they go at us,'' he said. ``They don't care about anything that we do. They don't feel we can do anything to disrupt what they do. ``I think they respect us, they think we're a good team. But once they step between the lines, they couldn't care less about what we do. We respect them too much, more than we're supposed to.'' http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sp...ngs-Maver.html |

Obviously it's a pet peeve of many of us. It's nice to see one of the guys step up and buck the underdog crapola. |

He also backs up his talk most of the time on court.

I've said a lot of bad things about Bill Clinton, for example, but I saw him once in New York and didn't approach him and insult him.

You forgot to somehow mention the best part of the story. Heard the interview on the Ticket today. Kudoos to the guys who did the interview, excellent job!
The whole attitude was summed up by VanExel quite eloquently. F'em. The Kings are a great team and all, but F'em. He said that about 10 times during the interview. His point was that the team and the players individually can't focus on the Kings. F'em. It's about us. What a great attitude and you can see it as he saved us from being the embarassment of the league against Portland. He just said F'em. Now if only he can inspire the rest of the team. F'em shall be their battle cry. I would love to hear our fans chanting that on national TV [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] |

Finally one player has the sense to address Nellie's emasculated gutlessness he calls coaching.

That is what I'm talking about. Of course if you weren't so busy kissing Nellie's fat ass, you might have half a chance of figuring this out.

i wouldn't question his manhood (although, i believe most posters don't mean that term literally), but i would tell him that i think his statements are impacting the heart of the team more than he realizes. (then we'd go into further discussion [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) i would tell him just as nicely as i tell any other fan (whether the CEO of the corporation that pays my paycheck, or a celebrity, or whoever). i imagine many others feel just as informal with Nellie (while still greatly respecting him).
man, it just doesn't work for you to call another man an idiot. how does that reflect on you?

Look the reason we play small ball is because our centers play with no balls. Do you realize over the past five games raef has more fouls then points. Over the last five games he has 18 points and 17 rebounds a game. Bradley well he is too funnny. Until we get compotent big men we will resort to go small thats the bottom line.

David, Nellie's negativity makes most people sick. Sorry if you disagree. Last time I checked, he was the Mav's coach, not the King's PR person. The team is playing without confidence. Combined with ref stupidity, we don't stand a chance. Just think how you'd feel if you're boss was constantly telling YOU that you just duidn't measure up to a workmate. Would it affect you?
Of course. 'Nuff said.
