    Caracter matters.

    What a douche, if this is true.

    Sadly, off court trouble is hardly new for Caracter. He had all sorts of disciplinary problems in high school and college, Pitino ended up kicking him out at Louisville after several suspensions there, and now he's taken his act to the NBA. His name is a classic misnomer.

    To be fair, Pitino only kicked him off the team because Caracter hit an IHOP waitress Pitino had hummingbird f***ed.

    No. The fact they didn't clamp down on defense, allowed Chris Paul to carve them up like an Easter ham, to not hustle and to think they can just turn it on on whenever they want beat them.

    Now they've got to take another near-coast-to-coast round trip because they're arrogant and are lacking a killer instinct this year, relying on the last two years that it will just happen, when it's more like the 2008 Finals -- when they didn't wake up in time.

    One of the best cities in the country to eat & drink in and this idiot is in an IHOP at 1:00AM?

    Be curious to know who was with him.

    I'd have more respect for him if it was a Cafe Du Monde employee. :D

    Besides, everyone knows it was fixed so the NBA could get better ratings.
