Jason Williams dropping F-bombs at reporters after game 3

[jimmehx]

Honestly I don't think it's a big deal. I do think it's funny though.

You've all seen those press swarms... I couldn't imagine dealing with that coming off an absolute destruction.

I think it's fair that he told them where to go.

J-Will doesn't want other people chasing after his butt like Rondo did during the game!!!

LOL!!!

I think I have to have a little sympathy for Jason here. There he is trying to get dressed after a game where they didn't play the way they needed to play, and this guy is crowding him. Pretty tight spot in there and when you are in a bad mood after that game I can see why he wouldn't be too happy with getting herded into the corner. He showed more fire there than any of the rest of the team did the whole night. Dwight and Lewis could have learned something…

As far as that play went, I am not sure why anyone would be upset with Jason over that. He's running downcourt to get the ball and Rondo is completely behind him. The proper play is to lean over and pick up the ball for him and try to bring it back to their own side of the court. What would he have done with it all by himself under the other teams basket if he dove for the ball?! If he had done that everyone would have thought it was a stupid play! Then he is laying there forced to call a timeout at best.

That would have been hilarious if J Will dove.

TP. Yeah Jason played with the most determination in that game for Orlando. Rondo is just better and faster. I feel for him.

i dont see the problem here.  reporters dont always respect the boundaries of players.  the guy is trying to change in his locker and reporters are all up on him.

that, on top of getting blown out, he was easily agitated.  barnes trying to hold back the smirk or laughter was pretty funny.

There are other ways to handle the situation. What a sore loser.

I believe it was Knute Rockne who said "show me a good loser and you show me a loser".

Maybe he was just upset because his team got their colective butts whipped and played with no heart at all. They quit somewhere in the second quarter.

As for Rondo's play, I have no problem with Williams on that. With the angle he had on the ball how in the world would he have known that Rondo would dive between his legs? People are just looking for a reason to dump on the guy.

I think he used "Show me a good and gracious loser and I'll show you a failure." Vince Lombardi and Red Auerbach seemed to have used the variation you're using, "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser."

But, you could always go with the George Carlin version, "Show me a tropical fruit, and I'll..."

TP. I sit corrected. Lombardi is credited with "show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser". I knew it was some old guy.

or the reporters could just respect other people's space/boundaries.

NO! please.... hahaha

[j804]

He shouldnt be embarrassed of what he said to a reporter, but he should be of that ridiculous hair do of his.

Seriously a mini blowout? LOL

[JHTruth]

JWill was owned on that play. The reason it is so prominent is because it basically sums up the series. The Magic think this is still the regular season and the C's have turned up the intensity.

No one makes that play in the regular season, BUT THIS IS THE ECF. And you're down 0-2. Get some floor burns so at least you can say you gave it your best shot..
