None of the “Superstars” go at each other anymore, too worried about Superteams. Kinda why id like to have JimmyB, he seems to not give a shit.

I think social media has alto to do with that. Back in the day, you didn't know shit about other teams players, other than those you befriended at camps or new from a previous team or possibly grew up with or went to college with. Now with twitter and all that, they can connect at any time with anyone they want who they find interesting in the league and get to know them . I think it has brought the players together more as a whole. I also think its why their union has catapulted in strength over the last decade. There is now way players in the 80's would be able to hold teams hostage like the do now.

But there will always be your JButlers, DGreens that don't give a shit and will get in the face of anyone who defies them.
 
Suspensions are in. Ingram - 4 games, Rondo - 3, CP3 - 2.

Not a Meteor strike option but I still approve.

MMM, think Rhonda should have been given 5-7. He initiated with spitting, then landed the first real punch as well after Paul put his finger in his face.

If that was other teams / players, their all getting 5+ games, but they don't want to punish Lebron/LA or Chris Paul (since he's the player union president).
 
Paul shoved him after Rondo spit in his face.

there's a tweet somewhere where it zooms in on paul right before he points his finger at rondo... and he actually never got spit on. lol.
 
Not really @dviss1. I don't have him on ignore, but I totally get it. He blasted me from the first moment he acknowledged my presence here and never let up.

Let me ask you. If I had never met you, but just walked up to you and was like, "Who is this rook, he isnt allowed to do this, this place is going to shit. Dont make threads until you have 1000 posts son."

Would you just assume i'm joking, being a stranger or would you be like, "wtf did I do wrong? I don't even know who you are?" and that gets the response of.. "lighten up Francis, i'm kind of a big deal around here. If you don't like it, ignore it." And then proceed to be rude and try to degrade you without once saying "hey man i'm just joking. don't take me serious?"

I have showed him respect many times and never got it back once in return. Yeah, he is a top notch ****** poster in my opinion because he takes ZERO ownership for rubbing others the wrong way.
I think you have to treat HCP like MARIS61. You have seen Maris' signature, correct?

HCP is not a real person. He is merely a persona.
 
I dont see any projectile or landing. I dunno. Could be minute... Which makes it even sillier and most likely accidental.

It's not a lougie. It's spray.
If you watch CP3's reaction you see him going side to side, then when the 'spray' happens. His head goes back a little, as well as his facial expression changes.
But I pretty clearly see spray coming from rondo's mouth.
I don't know if Rondo is a heavy sweater like Vonleh. But people who sweat a lot can spray pretty easily while talking.
But it wouldn't be spit then, it would be sweat.
 
One of my friends whos a diehard laker fan just texted me saying.
'Man I can't believe Rondo did that.'
I'm tempted to reply with. 'You've never heard of Rondo before have you'?

Here's why I question it: Paul is known to exaggerate things. So I don't give him the benefit of the doubt. So when I saw his head move and very little - if any- spray, I was like "Cool, bro, you're flopping to air again."

And even if it's a little bit of sweat/spit... still should be three games for him. A joke that it's not. But, preferential treatment. (Btw, if Rondo was in Boston in his prime and this happened he'd probably get 2, too.)
 
I am not sure if the kings are better than expected or the thunder worse than expected

Oh I agree, CP3 needed to be suspended longer. The additional $$ he lost compared to Rondo or Ingram doesn't make up for having a lighter suspension.
 
When you zoom in enough theres like something spraying from his mouth, if it made it contact who knows.

Then he shouldn't have an issue with me outside of here, but that's clearly not the case the few times Ive tried to be cool with him and blow this shit over. To me, it really is just a forum as well, though he did cross the line in my opinion, in trying to spread our spat out as if I tried to take it outside of this forum and endanger his families livelyhood. That was about as low as you can go on here and honestly, he should apologize for that shit. that could get real, real quick. He is lucky I am not one of many lost basement dwellers on the web who would try to cause him actual trouble in return. That's why that was low to me. Cause i'm not like that at all. That was complete BS of him to do that.

All Ive ever done is give his shit back to him tenfold. Ive also made several attempts to kick to the curb the shit tossing, both in public and in private, and every time I was meant with a stiff arm... and a couple times only to find he mocked me over it in public, after I decided to become scarce for the sake of everyone's sanity. He has done nothing but treat me like shit from the moment I got here, but whenever I give it back, I'm then considered the "whiney bitch" by him and some of his "admirers" for simply standing up for myself.

All of this could have been curtailed if he would have just given me one ounce of respect along the way. I'm not hard to please. This is all stupid and petty, but I move on and he trolls me back in with his bullshit. He may be cool to others, but he isn't, and never has been cool to me, and that's his choice, so fuck him. :cheers:

I wasn't aware that you two had some unpleasant interactions face to face. Sorry to hear that.

Lol, We never have. That's the funny thing. Ive never met him and don't care to. He would have to man up to his part in all of this before Id even consider giving him my real time of day at this point. If it is all just a farce and a character, then he has carried it on faaarrr to long without a moments break. If he is serious with the things he has said to me, then he needs to apologize like I have to him. Until then, I don't care who he is. You treat humans with respect and that starts with acknowledging when people feel you are disrespecting them. Doesn't mean you need to change, but you should man up and say, no worries, Ill back off. I don't know you, you don't know me. Chill, im just giving ya shit is all. but without that, you shouldn't expecting anything in return, but the same and then some if that is how you are gonna be. Don't bitch about it and try to then twist it on the other. Take the backfire like a man when your jokes don't land, dont blame the target for moving and not wanting to be hit. Own your shit. That's all.

I just gotta stop falling for the shit. I own that and then some.
