Captain Jack is Confused
S-Jack (Photo. Eriberto Oriol)The Warriors dropped an ugly one to the Portland Trail Blazers last night and they were not so happy with the officiating during or after the game. From today’s Mercury News:
After a third-quarter burst, a disjointed and disappointed Golden State team fell apart in a 105-95 defeat.
Portland became the second team this month to have three players crack the 20-point barrier against the Warriors’ improved defense. Travis Outlaw (22), Brandon Roy (21) and James Jones (21) combined for 64 points.
But it was the work of referees Bennie Adams, Matt Boland and Dan Crawford that drew the most ire in Golden State’s locker room after the Trail Blazers shot 30 free throws to the Warriors’ 13.
“I’m still trying to figure out what’s considered a foul and what’s not considered a foul,” said Stephen Jackson, who drew a technical foul in the third quarter and fouled out in the fourth. “I need to read the players’ manual. I’m confused right now.”
In sharp contrast to the raucous coronation that took place in April, Wednesday was an aggravating, frustrating slog for the Warriors, and it showed in the actions of Jackson and Baron Davis.
Davis, feeling unjustly fouled by Sergio Rodriguez as they chased down a loose ball in the second quarter, angrily flipped the ball in what appeared to be Rodriguez’s direction, then wouldn’t accept the Spaniard’s handshake.
Jackson was called for a technical foul in the third quarter at the end of a sequence that began with Joel Przybilla ripping a rebound away from Andris Biedrins. Jackson grabbed hold of Przybilla’s jersey before hacking him with both arms, after which Crawford hit Jackson with his second technical of the season.
“These days, when I get techs I don’t know if I did something or not,” Jackson said. “(It’s) based on how people perceive me, so I don’t even pay it no attention, man.”

Slacking Jack is just a whiner. He should clean up his act before whining about officials. Guy would probably whine about a police officer tazering his ass because he’s busting caps in the air like it’s a shooting range.
He should seriously quit basketball and stick to what he is good at: dealing drugs.

D*MN! Thats kinda racist Insanejack. Why does he have to be a drug dealer. Let me quess your not black. Only lames say lame things like that. I’m out with no further comment for you. You truly are insane. On a serious note we do need to come up with guidelines for whats a foul and what isn’t last nite was ridiculous in the Pistons and Rockets game.

YOUNGFED,
You can quess all you want.
I don’t recall saying anything at all about the guy being black, or mentioning race in anyway at all. You sound like the racist because I mention some fool being into drugs (and probably dealing) and you just assume that I am referring to him being black, is that the first thing you think of when you think of black folk? I don’t give a fuck what colour he is, he is a knucklehead piece of shit as a person, and dealing drugs would definitely fit into the pigeon hole he has put himself into with all his gun, drug and strip club issues.
A piece of shit person is a piece of shit person, regardless of what colour/class/gender or religion the person is.

YOUNGFED says:
I quess you just “Happened” to call him a drug dealer and he just “Happened” to be black (LOL). Everyone makes mistakes even God forgives, that doesn’t make him a piece of SH*T.

YOUNGFED,
You do know that it’s “guess” don’t you? (I was misspelling it to mock you)
I didn’t just “Happen” to call him a drug dealer, I straight out called him a drug dealer. The idiot is a well documented pothead…and a majority of people who do, deal (watch Cheech and Chong son).
I’m also sure he didn’t just “Happen” to be black, I’m sure his parents had a little something to do with it. I am in no way saying that black=drug dealer.

actually. stephen jackson is an admitted former crack dealer when he was growing up in port arthur, texas. well, he didnt say crack. he said rock. he use to slang rock and it was either keep doing that or play ball and he chose to play ball. im pretty sure the article was in sports illustrated from when he was on the spurs. i think he also mentioned still hanging his red bandana in his locker at all times. maybe its blue, i dont know. not really my scene.

Peace to doc and YoungFED I agree with you I’m tired of the sportwriters reporters and racist sports fans hold black sports stars to a different standard. He has done some dumb things but that doesn’t make him a bad person.
insanejack- Black men in the USA can always read between the lines with the comment you made and the comments sportswriters and reporters make all the time. When we hear THUG,POSSE,BLING, or how many tattoos the star has we know those words are for Black Sports Stars not White stars. I don’t know you so I won’t call you racist but keep it real you wouldn’t say that a White star who smokes weed is selling drugs stick to the facts jack!!!(lol)

I was at the game last night and when he got the tech he slightly bumped the ref. on the foul he grabbed the jersey as the warriors did many times last nigh. the refs also let more contact than usual go throughout the game, it was nice, kinda like a good old 80s game at times, back when tough guys played, no tmacs or derek andersons who get hurt all the time
