Henry Abbott is a Joke

True Hoop writer Abbott is one writer who I won’t waste time reading. A Portland homer who shares no insight in the NBA. I’m glad there are good writers like the ones we have here on Denver Stiffs to read.

As far as Melo getting four offensive fouls. The NBA wants to market him as a star, but the type of crap he gets thrown his way — Matthews and Korver get more calls than him — leaves me so frustrated. LBJ has a hand touch him and it is a foul. Melo get driven down constantly to no call. Say he gets to the line, but the guy gets fouled every play.

If I’m him and the rest of the Nuggets, I’m saying no thank you I’m busy to anything that the NBA asks of them. Just set up our own charities through Kronke Sports and forget helping Stern with a thing.

Let’s win in Utah next game and get home court back, then win the series.

Whatever

TrueHoop is one of the better NBA blogs out there – it touches on topics that you would never hear about elsewhere (Worldwide Wes), is more APBR oriented, and the people he seeks opinions from are some of the best and brightest NBA minds.

Probably the NICEST,

most intelligent, most caringest guy in the world, but everytime I see Abbott’s pic on TrueHoop, all I can think of is Sloth from The Goonies.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
