I really dislike Kenny Smith

[Natebishop3]

He just rubs me the wrong way. He doesn' really exhibit any basketball knowledge whatsoever. He just said that he thinks the Blazers are going to finish 8th. Based on what? Who knows...

Have you seen our schedule?

We have 3 very tough games coming up. It's not like it's that far fetched.

Yeah, but this is a long running thing. He was a total douche during the dunk contest last year. Hated on Rudy every chance he could get.

The only way we're getting national respect is to win. I make my life more tranquil by not looking from acceptance from the taking heads.

o.... k.....

 

[MadeFromDust]

Kenny Smith is an egotistical douchebag. Can't stand hearing that guy talk.

THIS.

Kenny Smith is not an idiot. He knows what it takes to win in this league. He has two rings. If we win in the playoffs, he will give us our due.

The Jet rocks!

He knows how to get on a team with Hakeem Olajuwon while Michael Jordan is retired?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

he hit that 3!

While I don't discount his NBA knowledge, he was a complete douchebag during Rudy's dunk contest. A complete fucking douche. I don't even like Rudy much anymore, but fuck kenny smith for that bullshit. Rudy's dunk was so much better than that other one (admittedly going off memory of real anger I felt at the time, I dont even remember who else was in the contest).

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

racist! (kenny smith was)

 

[Nate Dogg]

At least he says something intelligent. Charles Barkley just says the same thing. "Portland is a jump shooting team" and doesn't add to the fact that half style offense works with the players that they got and CB gives no praise to Portland when they beat someone on TNT. CB in my books is worse on giving Portland any credit with any intelligent insight.

If it didn't take him 20 attempts to make it he might have even won.

 

[MickZagger]

There have been a lot of public sports journalists/figures that have hated on the Blazers in the past that have hated on the Blazers. Walton, Bill Simmons, the TNT guys. Its because they know we have a rabid fanbase that bleeds Blazers and it will annoy the shit out of us. The only reason I can think of atleast.

We have the hardest schedule of the three teams, Nate. Don't hate Kenny because he doesn't kiss the Blazers in their privates every chance he gets. Heis just telling it like it is.

 

[mgb]

Ya, I wouldn't be surprise if Portland went 0-2 the next two games and they might go 0-3 though that would surprise me. Dallas isn't a sure win even though many would like us to play them in the playoffs. LA is going to be tough at LA even though they are playing bad I wouldn't be surprise if they want to get it together before the playoffs start. I know the other teams have tough schedule's, but the Spurs I can seeing doing well the final games and then if we lose to the Thunder most likely we are 8th. Even if we don't we may be. I actually think we'll beat them.

I like him. He doesn't rub me the wrong way.

I don't always agree. I don't always think he is saying something profound. How can any TV talking head be expected to?

 

[maxiep]

So, the beef is Kenny thinks we'll finish 8th? Well, I guess we'll just have to prove him wrong.

I say BFD what Kenny Smith says.

 

[Draco]

If it didn't take him 20 attempts to make it he might have even won.

There is such a double standard though... Nate Robinson had more attempts and ended up winning.

 

[BBert]

I don't care for the show, their schtick, or their banter. They have almost nothing intelligent to say, particularly as it relates to the Blazers, especially Charles. I prefer to just skip those kinds of shows and just watch the game with my own two eyes.

 

[HailBlazers]

If Roy would have been passing him the Ball instead of Pau, he wouldn't have taken 20 attempts.

 

[jlprk]

Remember before Barkley arrived, and it was just Ernie and Kenny? Those two made a fine couple. I liked the show before Barkley ruined it. Ernie's the Barbie of the group. He's the white guy there for his looks. Kenny is the adorable doll we all secretly wish we could kill Ernie for. Barkley is the Bluto who wants to kill Popeye.

 

[DUB]

Barkley is the Bluto who wants to kill Popeye.

Looks more like Wimpy than Bluto.

Him having 2 rings has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with whether or not he is an idiot. It is ridiculous to say so.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's not so much that he said we will finish 8th, rather that he offered zero analysis towards his reasoning. At least Charles said why he thinks we will fail. Kenny just said "they will finish 8th" and that was it. Chuck is a clown anyway. They have him around to make outlandish statements and piss people off. Kenny is supposed to be an actual analyst. I just think he has "his guys" and he really offers nothing else. Mostly I've just been pissed at him since the dunk contest last year.

Kenny Smith is a typical New Yorker, who thinks the simple fact he is from New York makes him more knowledgeable than anyone else. He's smug and if it weren't for the fact he played on the Rockets and gravy trained his way to 2 titles, he'd be no more important to the average NBA fan than Winston Garland.

I don't know if I'd say we have the 'hardest'. San Antonio @ Denver and @ Dallas ain't exactly a cupcake.

 

[illmatic99]

He just changed his tune and said Portland will win the series.
