I was thinking of more established posters, I guess.

I know S2 is but a few years old, so I don't have the BBF knowledge.

I don't see Tunchi faking like he's going to get lawyers to shut down a website. I actually quite like Tunchi.

In all fairness, mixum could be annoying, but that dude took so much shit from other posters at times i felt bad for him.

The difference is, I don't think Tunchi is "inviting" it... but from most of what I read from Mixum, he wanted it... it almost seemed like he enjoyed it.

Another difference... Tunchi never starts threads. lol.

Others from bbf that i dont remember. S2 is only a small part of many in our history though.

Ive heard people get super butthurt and compare tunchi to mixum.

Tunchi smacks of a troll. Maybe he isn't Mixum, but I don't think he's on the up and up.

I don't see Tunchi as a troll or as a bad Blazer fan. He's obviously a fan of basketball in general and he does make some relevant points along the way. He just tends to easily annoy the more homer-esque fans by being contrary. He's entitled to his opinion, just as we all are. I don't find his opinions about Dame any more tiring or predictable than the constant (endless) "trade for Boogie" or "trade CJ" or "Meyers sucks" rants. I kinda sorta thought this board existed for discussions, rants and (preferably respectful) arguments. What the hell else is there to discuss now that the season is over??? I am mostly a life long SF Giants fan but my two absolute all time favorite players were Tony Gwynn (Padres) and Willie Stargell (Pirates). That doesn't make me a shitty Giants fan, it makes me a knowledgeable and open minded (IMHO) baseball fan. This board needs the Tunchis of the world to keep the rest of us honest. I think some of you guys need to lighten up on the abuse, especially the tag team stuff. It would be one effing boring (and short lived) message board if all of us were always on the same page.......

Damn exactly you nailed it as well. At the end of the day we all want the team to do well in the long run. That we can atleast agree on.

Really the only difference I have with majority of posters here is how good Lillard is.

I personally don't think he's NOT THAT GOOD (first team all nba level) I think he's a fringe 3rd team to outside looking in top 20 player. I mostly believe he's a perfect Robin (mentally and leadership wise he's built like a first option tho!) but skills wise as of right now he's a perfect Robin.

The rest of opinions believe it or not I actually agree a lot with what folks around here think.

Meyers sucks
Keeping Crabbe
Stotts a top level coach
Great Gm
Etc

A lot of these I agree with you guys on but it's the Lillard opinion that pisses you guys off clearly. At the end of the day if Lillard comes back next year with better shot selections, better overall FG percentages I WILL BE HAPPY TO ADMIT HES GOTTEN BETTER!

Until then let's remember it's not that serious we have a great basketball team with solid future to look forward to.

And Tunchi and others do have discussions. It's when someone has been proven hypocritical and doesn't own up to it that people have the issue with. And that is neither a homer or contrarian, that's just being wrong.

An opinion is an opinion, yes. But when your opinion is proven to have the same flaws as the opinion your AGAINST, that's where the issue resides.

Tunchi has proven to have some smarts. So I know he has it in him to realize a simple hypocrisy, and own up to it.

Didn't I admit you got me with the Lowry thing??

I coulda sworn I did

I will say this, Dame would NEVER walk off the floor in the middle of a playoff game and abandon his teammates.

NEVER.

That's why I call him a fantastic leader

I've always said that and that alone is worth him staying here for life

Just improve your shot selections and defense that's all I ask
 
Kind of hard to argue that Dame couldn't stand to improve his shot selection and defense. But I'll take the two head-scratchers he throws up a game along with all the other great plays he makes.

haha, you're right. We aren't arguing that. ;)
 
Some people on this board seem to need a villan, then they ban one and move on to someone else. But I remember Mixum really hated Patterson and Nash before it was popular, and he turned out to be right about that.

I don't go on this site on my phone.

Do you all have Iphones? I love this site on my phone.

I had to type a text on my wife's Iphone today and her keyboard has no numers or a period on the main screen. So annoying, is there a setting to change?

I'm a Blazers fan first and foremost, but I'm also a big Lillard fan. Having said that, these were the same complaints I've had with Lillard for quite some time. I just never posted about it because other posters have already said it.

I don't think it's unfair to discuss that part. At least your consistent with his leadership. Easily he's a TOP 3 leader in the league.

PapaG was banned.... what.... 2 years ago? Which villain has been banned since then? Some people like to exaggerate about the moderating on this forum, because there's basically zero moderating and nobody is persecuting you.

I like you when you put some thought into your posts Tunchi. You should to it more often lol.
 
If Dame was more efficient and played better defense, he'd be on a Stephen Curry level. So while there are some complaints, its a perfectionist type of view. You he can have a little better shot selection. But he's a guy that averaged 25/7 and led a team of cast offs to the 2nd round.

Thing is, he'll improve for the next 3 or 4 years. I think he'll be a top 4 MVP candidate in his prime while putting up 28/8/4 on 45/38 percent shooting. Yeah, throse are insane numbers, but its not far off from what he's doing now.

Oh absolutely top 3 leader if not number 1

I've always thought Lebron was a fantastic leader as well just because how he's always engaging with his teammates in positive ways.

Lillard has that same vibe as well

Oh I totally agree. The dude can easily do that. I just have a problem with his FG percentages these last few years and this year shooting an ugly 41.8%

But like you said if he could do 45/38 percent omg you would immediately tell his difference.
That's why I'm so huge on Cj Bc the dude has perfect shot selections. Lillard will be better tho
 
The Thunder have such a perfect mix of players.

The glue? Steven Adams.

They just need an upgrade at SG. I see no reason for KD to leave that situation.

Crazy thing: he almost hit those numbers in January/February. He's so close.

Mixum, and all his reincarnations. People were calling for BGD to be banned, and half the board had me on ignore for awhile. Now people keep bitching about Tunchi. I only see a point in complaining about posters if they are being overly crude or rude to other posters. But saying like "Oh, I can't stand Tunchi because he doesn't think Damian is awesome"....I mean come on, who cares?

They do have a great roster. This could be their year. I can't believe I"m rooting for them, I just hate GS so much now.
 
On courtside, they are talking about the Blazers signing Kevin Durant, but I don't think he'll leave unless he really secretly hates Westbrook.

The staff has never had a conversation about BGD. No one has ever asked me to ban him. BGD has never done anything worthy of a ban or even a warning from staff.
