No, CSN actually got upset with me last season for doing that.

Isn't it a Jquack artiicle? I don't click those.
Summarize in 25 words or less dog.

LOL I love this board.

Here's some highlights:

According to players, Harkless talked mostly about the team’s soft defense. He talked about the team’s lapses in concentration. And he talked about the need to start performing to the expectations this team had set for itself.

What Harkless said was nothing groundbreaking. Nothing the team didn’t already know. But there was something about it, something about the person saying it, that resonated. In the locker room after the game, Harkless speaking up was mentioned by Evan Turner, Meyers Leonard, Lillard and Crabbe.

(H)is stance Wednesday seemed to indicate a maturing team that no longer has to rely on the tone and force of Lillard’s leadership.
​

As nice as it might be for someone other than Dame to step up and for our players to significantly increase their defensive intensity...I'll believe it when I see it.

Moe gave a speech everyone respected about not being lazy on defense.

I don't understand. Can you do it in haiku please?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LOL I love this board.

Jason Quick is an irredeemable locker room cancer, reined in only slightly by working for the company broadcasting the games. I don't blame ANYONE for not wanting to support that assflake.

"We need to commit"
Moe spoke softly but firmly
Even Dame listened

Now I get it!

Moe gave a short speech
Lamenting lazy defense
Quick watched through the blinds.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I think I'm turning Japanese.
I really think so.

(3) maturing team

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Quiet Harkless speaks
All his teammates are lazy
It won't change a thing.

It's not Crosby Stills and Nash if you were wondering

It's always better to turn them....cooks evenly on both sides that way

who is screaming now
Mo Harkless is screaming now
Everybody else shut up!

I haven't read the thread yet, but as soon as I saw the thread title, I knew it was a Quick article. He's the only writer who gets turned on by the virile, mighty, bold strength of trivial quotations he elicits from young athletes. His articles read like moralistic Sunday School sermons. I read that simpleton's crap for years before I "just said no." I'm not reading the article.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

That's a helluva pen name:

J.Q. Simpleton. esq.

 

[jlprk]

Okay, I read the thread, but not PtldPlatypus' long summary.

There was a poster who stubbornly
Refused to read even the summary.
He would glide through the thread
And ignore what was said
Then post his opinion regardlessly.

I don't know why so many hate on Jason Quick

In my opinion he's a homer. All he does is talk about the bond and love fest for Dame and this team

We're getting Barry Bonds and Kevin Love?

No, they're having a James Bond and rom-com movie marathon.

Harkless talked defense
Impressed the teams vet players
Leonar_ combed his hair

Well your talking about the old Jason quick? Yea he hated on those jail blazer teams and etc but hindsight 20/20 those teams were dysfunctional if u think about it.

As far as these new era blazers man that guy sweats the shit outta them.

Now john canzano is the guy i hate. He never says anything good about the blazers period. Even these new hardworking players we have. Plus you can tell canzano hates Dame for whatever reason
