He didn't fail overseas, the racism on this board is disturbing.

 

The only racism prevelent on this board in my time has been reverse racism taken in the form of Turkish, Puerto Rican, and to a lesser extent Dukey love.

 

Then you need to take that blindfold off or take your head out of the sand, because racism really is a problem on this board and it is not reverse racism.

Honestly, his fans may be annoying at times but they make regular season home games way more exciting. Plus it diversifies our home crowd more.

 

 

Legal Eagle...this post perfectly summarizes my feelings...

 

My wife is from Caguas!...I don't have any choice, ha-ha...

 

As I said, time will tell...

Being suspended one game happens a lot in the NBA, being suspended until the next day is even less.

 

But now that's proof that Carlos is a cancer and probably that he was banned from the Euroleague.

 

That's why it's hard to take some people seriously.

For the record, and very respectfully, I can't remember anything Carlos may have said about wanting Jameer's minutes ... if anything, their friendly rivalry was the result of SVG stating, at the beginning of his tenure, that "the PG position was up for grabs" ... of course, hearing that, who can blame either one of them for trying to excell and earn the position? ... as a matter of fact, they both could have been trying to do more than they are capable of, resulting in neither one playing to their fullest ... sometimes, when you try TOO hard, you can really F'up!

 

So, if Carlos signs for next season, he will be doing so knowing (how could he not?) that Jameer is the incumbent ... if he wants minutes, he must earned them, no doubt ...

 

I do remember someone in the roster complaining 'cause he wasn't playing and even asking for a trade ... in the media, of all places ... but I can understand his frustration, although the "valve" he used to release it wasn't the appropriate one in my opinion ...

Ohhh boy. Now you've done it! I don't know if any one thread can contain the onslaught of both Carlos and JJ fanatics at one time! This might explode.

Before anything happens, my comment wasn't meant to be critical of him ... if anything, I can understand his frustration ... heck! I was 25 once ... if I ever found myself in his position, when I as 25, I probably would have done the same ... you don't join a major sports team, dreaming you'll be riding "the pine" ... at that age, you think the most of your abilities and are certain you can significantly contribute ... wasn't something like that, that Carlos did with Sloan?

 

What I wanted to emphasize is that, at least to my best recollection, Carlos never did it in Orlando ...

 

No quarrels with JJ's advocates ...
