You don't have to prove anything. But the bottom line is you come in here and spout a lot of unfounded shit.

I'm just saying don't do that unless you want to be called on it.

How can an interpretation of one's actions be unfounded? Seriously? He comes across differently to both of us, but you think your opinion is fact, and therefore mine isn't.

The other shit is obvious.

[QUOTE="BonesJones, post: 4283351, member: 28723]" because I know more about it than you do. But apparently it has to be proven to the allmighty Dviss1 or its not true. Get off your high horse so HCP can kill it then beat it.

Who's being smug now? I just asked for proof of your assertions and apparently you can't provide it.

How the fuck can you prove an opinion? Do you know the difference between opinion and fact?

No, you said Doug is absent because of his interactions with HCP. You also said Lonzo is smug, cocky ect.

FUCKING PROVE IT. Because you still have yet to do so.

Don't just spout.
 
Now you say "Oh how do I prove an opinion".

This is not an opinion. This is a simple unfounded statement:

He did, but HCP is gonna HCP and won't regret anything, nor apologize when he's wrong.

I miss Doug. The dude was great and wasn't the one who escalated things. But whatever. I can enjoy the forum in spite of all the dead, beaten horses around here.

You're insinuating here that he's absent because of HCP. You have no proof, just your opinion but you state it as fact. That's a mistake.

Are we just assuming why @Dougnsalem is not here or are we 100% sure? Who's talked to Doug about it? Are we making things up as we go along or what? :dunno:

I simply ask you if you're assuming or if there's info I don't have. You again, reiterate your assertion based upon NO solid evidence.

Then you get mad when I say prove what you say instead of spouting. I'm literally teaching this to my son now...

Speak what you know is true or someone will call you out on it. Now your defense is "I can't prove an opinion..."

Weak.

Sauce.

Prove that Lonzo seems cocky to me? Seriously? How the fuck am I supposed to do that when whatever I use will come across to you in a different way than it does to me?

Look man it's pretty easy. Post a "cocky" interview in the Lonzo thread and let others decide. Maybe then you can garner some perspective instead of letting the bias against his father cloud your opinion of him.

If a dude posts regularly, gets attacked, then stops posting, it's pretty obvious already. What the dude said to me made it more obvious.

You should teach him not to believe everything he hears, but also not to completely denounce and blast what someone's saying if they don't disclose every bit of information.

I love how you assume my opinion is biased because you view him differently than I do. Condescending, to say the least.

So, by your logic, whatever the masses view of this person is the way he is? The masses decide what should be the "right" opinion of him? Okay. SMH.

I'm done with this.

Actually, to be fair, that's a classic case of actor-observer, and Fundamental Attribution Error. What we may think is why they left may not actually be why they left. Maybe something in their life came up that we don't know about? Coincidences happen. Untimely or otherwise.

Yes, there's almost always an alternate possibility to everything. I guess I should've said it's EXTREMELY likely.

You haven't said one thing that can be attributed to him. Just his father. The fact that you don't see it is telling.

His IDGAF, emotionless attitude comes across as smug and cocky to me, in a completely different way than his father. That opinion isn't because of his father, but you can keep assuming other people's dispositions. That's not a good trait though.
 
dviss1 said:
You still seem to be avoiding proving your point too.
Click to expand...
Proving what point, that Doug left because of HCP? You realize that maybe I'm not saying much, because if he comes back in the future I don't want people to give him shit over what he told me over PM?
 
Ball father is living his dream through his kids. Because he wasnt good enough make it his self. Lonzo hasn't shown any cockiness so far will he a good player for sure. He doesn't do anything fancy with his passes at most his passes what you learn when you was in high school. Once in awhile he throw deep pass on break for score. He is good rebounder for guard. He will be up and down on his scoring just the way he shoots I don't think he has the proper spin on the ball so if it not a swish than more unlikely he wont get a shooter bounce. But overall he seems like good kid.
 
I do not care about Lonzo Ball. As of now he's not good enough to warrant my attention.

They kind of have him being the next Magic Johnson as far as the Lakers are concerned. Even Magic is trying to sell himself short to make this kid something special. So far he looks like a good pick up but he will not ever be on Magic's level IMO.

He should've went late lottery IMO
 
Lonzo can't shoot. From the field or the free throw line. Until he learns how to do that he is of no concern to me.

Agree. Way too much talk about him. They even break to him while he is on the bench. Literally force feeding this kid to the audience.
