But, as a reference, and not saying you can't post threads at all, but for the boards' sake of not cluttering up it up, don't post new threads just because you don't want to post in someone else's thread. (This is a general you, as well). It's not going to hurt you to post in a thread of someone who may agitate you.

Rename this one "Around the NBA - October" so we don't get confused when the regular season starts.

Yes, please start your own thread. I don't post in HCP threads.

Quit being petty and take him off ignore.

Could you guys make it so all threads are shown even of posters that are on ignore (this wont make it so they have to see the posts) it just makes it so theres no “i didnt see the thread” excuse.

I wish that was the case.

If that option exists, it's probably in the back-end/programmatic side of things.

Why can't I see this post?

I'm sorry, but the last couple of pages have just made my day.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Of all the violations of the personal insult rule that I've seen in the last 8 months this one is the worst. You crossed the line this time!

You're right. "The HPV" needs to keep my name out his mouf.

I'm pissed.

Lucky kid, he took after his mom!

It’s not pettiness. He upset me too much. He would say mean things and I couldn’t deal with his negativity. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me like I lectured to you last season but it does. There is an ignite feature so I use it.

I don’t necessarily see threads started by people I ignore unless someone tells me about it.

Interesting how I think the Warriors are better than us, the Rockets will make the playoffs, and we will NOT win 64 games every season is considered “NEGATIVITY”.

You and everyone who has taken this stance on a guy who REGULARLY has people in here joking about his heritage and fucking his wife are TRIPPIN.

Id say it seems like about 80% of his posts are not to be taken seriously and I just play along. Sure it was a little weird when I first got here.
Like he said something about screwing my brother, (who had died just a couple months earlier) I had the choice to get mad and tell someone who doesnt know me to screw off and all that or just play along, I chose to just go with it. Its not his problem to take care of my stupid feelings when he’s just joking around anyways. He laughs off all the mrs hcp and hispanic jokes.

Cant get too offended at what people say or post. Even when what they post may offend you, (not talking directly to you its the general you).

I didn't know the forum software had a feature for automatically starting flame wars. Cool! It will save us all a lot of time and effort instead of starting them manually.

A little more than a year ago now, I guess?

Lakers defense will take a while to get in track, if it ever does.

If Im being honest this is what makes me ticked off at NBA defenders, #20 on the kings was in so no mans land, go help you’re freaking team mate. Its not like he was sticking to his man since he was watching the ball the whole time and his man couldve easily done anything since he wasnt attached at all.
I know it sounds like Im taking something from Lances move, the cross was nice and the behind the back to get an angle to the rim was good too, so i recognize the dribble moves were good, but that defense was so bad.

This is a perfect example to explain why I have so much hope in Zach Collins. Knowing where to be positioned, when to help off your man, being smart enough to anticipate what's going to happen, and being there to contest a shot even if you don't block it are all things that are an integral part of being a good defender but they don't necessarily show up on a stat sheet. Even as an inexperienced rookie I saw so many examples of Zach making really fucking nice reads on defense. Those kind of instincts aren't really teachable (which is why Leonard still looks lost on defense). Now pair that with Zach's athletic ability both in terms of quick feet and decent jumping ability and that leads me to believe he's going to be a really solid player.

I definitely think Zachs BBIQ is good and he knows how to play basketball and thats a big part of the equation. I think hes gonna have to get the ball to go through the hope at least at a respectable pace before he can be more than a role player. Might not be a fair analysis, but thats kind of how I see it.

Yeah even Casey and Freeman mentioned that Zach’s offense has been up and down and even behind where the team thought it would be now. He’s still struggling to take advantages of smaller guys being matched up against him. I’m confident he’ll eventually figure it out, but he’s pretty one dimensional right now. Thankfully that one dimension will be an important part of Portland’s success.

Yeah Im not declaring him a bust or saying the offense cant get there. He seems to have the tools, he’s just not there yet, whether he gets there we’ll see.
