		<description>OKC Hicks,

I obviously have a very special, in fact, almost unique, ability in that I am able to withstand Rick Kamla&#039;s commentary. He and Fran Fraschilla were a bit tangential against Turkey, though. I just wish all callers would stick with calling the game as it&#039;s happening, instead of a constant stream of tidbits and other useless gibber.

And, if they&#039;re going to treat the typical NBA viewer like an idiot when it comes to the rule discrepencies, then ESPN (in particular Fraschilla) should be able to demonstrate that they know the difference between a &#039;team foul&#039; and a &#039;personal foul&#039;. And when they superimpose the graphic &#039;Fouls Allowable&#039; they should not then list the number of fouls that result in disqualification, only the amount allowable. I ask you, could a monkey do a comparable job?</description>

		<description>I watched Julius Hodge play one game in the NBL last season, and he put up a trip-dub. I guess there are reasons for undertaking a job as a star in the league of a country not too unlike America. More power to him. He&#039;s obviously getting enough scratch to live comfortably, and he&#039;s been there before, so he obviously finds the circumstances bearable in the least.

Celts Fan acts as if some tragedy has beset Hodge by having to play down under. Let me help with some info: 

1) D-Will has made CP3 look human every contest. 
2) Funnel-web spiders are exclusively ground-dwellers and burrowers, and strictly non-social. I know a guy who&#039;s lived in Sydney - origin of the most deadly species - for nearly three decades, and he&#039;s never seen one.

Cheers.</description>

		<description>Rick Kamla once again proved to be the ultimate d-bag when it comes to sports commentators.  By ultimate d-bag I mean the guy who thinks he&#039;s cool but isn&#039;t, and uses every hip reference he thinks he knows to seem younger than he really is.  Kamla, I&#039;d rather listen to Helen Keller, which is why whenever I watch Team USA games, I keep the t.v. on mute...</description>

		<description>See more and more as time goes on I am disliking Ming more and more.  I wish there was some ban on him being interviewed. Dude just needs to shut-up.  How bout he worry about the chemistry of his body playing for a full season than about Ron Ron.  

He ain&#039;t even the leader of the team to be making a statement like that.  If anybody could or should it&#039;s only Tracy and for that matter I could see Alston commenting before Yao because he even knows more of Artest.

I hope Tracy steps in and tells Yao to shuddup.
Man I so wish Houston could trade Yao for Dwight.</description>

		<description>Australia is awesome.  It&#039;s like the nice parts of LA all over, but the people aren&#039;t dicks.  This is the civilized portion I&#039;m talking about, not the parts where the Crocodile Hunter used to live.

J-Hodge has some game in him, can&#039;t figure out why he can&#039;t stick with an NBA team.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m willing to bet Yao&#039;s comment was &quot;For the same reasons I like Ron Artest, having played against him I hate him for...&quot; No one likes playing against a bully/bruising player, but they all love playing with one. Yao doesn&#039;t know anything about that part of competition. He gets on his national team all the time about them not going out and playing against the best and getting better. Nothing about Chinese basket ball is as tough as Artest, not even ground they play on...

The rest of his comments are valid. If Ron comes to ball and not to get into domestic beefs, beefs with fans, beefs with beef, then Rockets will be real contenders. Ron sounds like he is ready, but he always sound that way till things don&#039;t go as planned, then you don&#039;t know what&#039;s going to happen...</description>
