NBA.com classless in their daily top 10

No. 6 on their top 10 from yesterday was Brewer missing a dunk and then missing the lay-up right afterwards. Yeah, it was a terrible play, understood. Don't put it on a **** highlight reel then when the rest of them are all alley-oop dunks and and such.

Would you be saying that if it was a player on another team? It was funny, no big deal.

If this puts a hit to his confidence then he's far too fragile a player.

At least Brewer stepped up and basically sparked the comeback so I'm sure he doesn't care about that mishap anymore. NBA TV has actually been decent as far as giving us the same respect as any other NBA team.

The only time where they pissed me off was during a victory we had the other day they didn't even talk about us. they talked about something completely unrelated and just threw in one point at the end. We were ballin that game too.

ESPN and TNT are horrible though. Those guys act like we aren't even in the NBA. The said the knicks have a promising future, more so than us. TNT didn't even respect us enough to mention us in their last telecast of the season when they were talking about the teams at the bottom and making fun of them. They mentioned Seattle, Memphis, Heat, Knicks, Clips, everybody but us.

They had a segment called "My team is whack but I aint" and I Big Al didn't get a mention on that even though players like Al Thorton did. Al didn't get a mention at all really and you would think that a guy who is only 1 of 2 players to drop 20 and grab 11 rebounds in the league would get some recognition but there was none to be had.

It was a funny play, for many people it would have been a 'highlight' of their day because it made them laugh...

Peedee made a great point, if this had been someone on another team you would have been laughing your ass off?

Hell, I follow Minnesota and I laughed my ass off
