Event Blazers Uprise Live Shows! (1 Viewer)

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Oh I understand. I apologize for that approach.
I was just saying my preference. You guys have a product that works for you.
Wish you all the best and I’ll check in when I have time and when the games seem like there is actually something to discuss.
Thanks for your response.
Also I hope my responses have not made you feel like you must leave here but I could understand why you could feel that way. Again wish you all the best.
All good man. I understand different people prefer different things and there's no way to make everyone happy, but if there's a way I can make things easier for you to find the parts of the stream you want to watch with your limited time, let me know!
 
To keep it only positive... Let me say that when you guys really get into CBA related content regarding the Blazers I find that to be your very best stuff. Very few outlets have that level orfunderstand and/or don't feel it will appeal to their audiance and therefore don't talk about it. The CBA being the center piece to all transactions makes it very important to be discussed.

Looking forward to my mouse pad come May!
Yeah I think our trade stuff is the best too. That's the silver lining with all this losing is there should be a lot (hopefully) on that front.
 
I watch & enjoy Blazersuprise. Ive been very impressed with both fellas ability to breakdown games and/or players. I don't expert perfection from sports radio or youtube shows. Personality and knowledge of the subject is the brand, and you guys are building it. So much of sports dialogue is subjective and fun. I commend you Torrey for being so damn young and driven, and HJ seems to be a great show partner/swammy.
This means a lot man, truly!

Look forward to it. Hopefully there is a silver lining instead of another scrapping to get to the Play-In some low seed and then get smoked in the Playoffs.
 
I saw my name TWICE above claiming I said/did negative things to or about this kid? I wasn’t notified though. You’re going to have to send me a link. You don’t register enough to me to waste my time wishing bad on you and your “show”. Get over yourself.
 
I don’t wish ill towards anybody in their life and goals. Shit I’ve come so far to get where I am, I don’t have time to worry about what other people are up to.
If this dude thinks people actually are taking time HOPING he doesn’t accomplish whatever he’s trying to, don’t bitch on here, use the assumed hate as fuel to better himself. As long as the bills get paid, that’s success in my book.

I registered enough for you to shit-talk it so that's not the leap you're making it out to be. The only reason this is a conversation is because you inserted yourself into it.

Nah the reason is since Day 1 when you joined here I’ve called you out for talking down to people who don’t have the same opinions about the game of basketball. Plain and simple. I’ve asked you before if you’ve ever been knocked out for talking to people that way and you never responded. My man tried to give you constructive criticism trying to help you succeed and you blew him off the same exact way. Ironically, his critique was about how you treat people when they don’t agree with you. Interesting. I “inserted” myself to maybe help open you eyes as to how you might better your show. But you’ve informed us that you don’t need help in that department, so I’ll bow out. But I will reiterate that you think to highly of yourself if you truly believe people in here, including myself, actually wish you to fail or not succeed. You just aren’t that important kid. Your actions and attitude towards people will lead you down that path of failure on your own.

I really don't care what you have to say about me yet you continue to waste your time ranting at me. One of us has improved since "Day One" and one of us hasn't. We all know how you get when you get criticized at all. It's a fucking circus. I brought up how you talked a bunch of shit and your response? Youre talking a bunch of shit. But I'm supposed to listen to you on how to act? Right.

I genuinely don't think you want to see us fail. But I also don't think you care to help or want us to succeed. Why would you want to help the show that you've trashed and made fun of? Your words don't line up. I know I'm not that important, but I actually wish I was less important to you to the point where you didn't feel the need to trash my show after I was extremely respectful towards your differing opinions when you popped into our streams. That's what you say you wanted, guess it wasn't good enough for you.

I've gotten compliments lately from people who have criticized me for not handling other arguments well, and I've gotten better. Still not perfect, never will be, but you'd always be there to point that out if I stuck around here. I stated below why his statement didn't feel like constructive criticism to me, but I can still own up to my shit. I've never seen you do so once, and you've made a lot of people feel like shit in this forum and trashed anyone who tried to point that out to you. The last thing I'm gonna let you do is sit here and try to preach some shit that you don't abide by.

So why are you wasting your time right now? What do you think you're accomplishing? You say and act like you don't care but your paragraphs say differently. So leave me alone. I don't want to interact with you or have anything to do with you.

Where this has gone was a bit predictable, now?

Let's switch the conversation to how much of an asshole I am.
 
just some unsolicited feedback if you guys care for it.

i wish you guys would spend more time explaining what went wrong in these losses, and potential solutions instead of trashing fans whose opinions differ from yours.

i get the frustrations but these venues for venting could be better if it wasn't so much bitching about people who said stuff that you don't agree with.

less whining, more bball talk. (i do appreciate the breakdowns on plays. just sucks you can't play videos). Like even the highlight of the Nance lob was great, but was just ruined by @BonesJones whining about how people say Dame can't throw lobs. No shit Dame can't throw lobs-- he misses obvious cuts and chucks it over the backboard a bunch of times and one play doesn't change that. That was a terrific look at a wrinkle of a play but the whining makes listening to this kinda unbearable after a while.

again... unsolicited feedback. want you guys to get bigger, hope this helps.
As far as our conversation goes, I apologize for my response and thank you for giving us a chance.

I'm at the point where I'm constantly having someone trash me or my show and being told I'm "bitching", "whining", "unbearable", and "ruining a segment" felt more like that instead of constructive criticism so it frustrated me. But you've been supportive of us in the past and I'm still getting used to what comes with the territory in regard to what I do, and I'm still learning not to make the worst out of criticism and negativity which I'm prone to doing. In the end, I appreciate it, because I don't want people to feel like you felt watching that segment but certain things are hard to completely break.

That's just the culture of YouTube and social media in general. People want to see you fail because you're doing something they wish they could do. Couple that with anonymity and, well you know.
that's not true at all. anonymity doesn't necessarily contribute to hate. im sure plenty of us are rooting for two homegrown posters to succeed in a competitive field and are appreciative of hard work.

Did you read the rest of that post? Lol.

I'm saying people who have no connection to him (i.e. NOT us) are going to so it under the cloak of anonymity. People with anonymity are "braver". It is the truth about a lot of people on the internet. Again, we have a connection with him, so...

Honestly, outside of a handful of people we've gotten basically no support from this forum (which is totally fine). From the beginning we had people in here telling us we were wasting our time and telling us it will never work. I get it, people thought we were combative but in case people haven't noticed Bones and I barely post here anymore and there is still bickering in almost every thread and the same arguments that people accused us of starting still happen. Outside of this thread today, I don't even remember the last time either of us got in an argument on here.

To be fair, ya'll have had some twitter drama.

I appreciated your feedback. You have to realize how starting out your criticism like this is triggering though. Our whole platform is based on breaking down the game in more detail than anyone else. You can disagree with our opinions, but I don't think anyone who has watched our show would say we don't thoroughly explain and back our opinions and take time talking about the x's and o's of the game more than any other show.

This year I've wanted everyone to be better with their arguments (Torey, myself, and chat). Challenging people to have better discussion points than "Nurk is trash" or whatever isn't being disrespectful towards others opinions. I literally ask people to instead say "I don't like x, y, and z that Nurk is doing" and whatnot. It's tough though. We want to be interactive with our audience, it's a big reason why we've been successful. There's a fine line between disagreeing with people in chat and it coming across as us not being accepting of differing opinions. Believe it or not, I actually love differing opinions because it does generate good discussions. But yeah, whenever someone becomes disrespectful and turns it into something else we get called out for "focusing too much on the trolls." Like @JDC used to comment in chat a lot disagreeing with us but it led to a lot of really fun conversations.

Like Torey said, we've made an effort this season to try and ignore the "haters" but the more we do this the more amplified the haters get. It's hard man. We don't set out to get into it with people. It's not planned. I agree with you that less of that would be better but some of it us practically unavoidable. The stuff we say like the "Dame doesn't throw lobs" comments stem from being shit on by other platforms. I get that kind of response turns some people off but like Torey said we're just going to be ourselves. For me personally, I'm not trying to make it in this industry. I'm just trying to talk basketball. Lately, I've gotten a ton of both positive feedback and negative feedback too. It's literally free content for people that Torey and I have spent thousands of hours doing, but people (not saying you) act like we owe them more or something. Not to speak for him, but I think that's why Torey reacted the way he did. I totally get why people don't like us or want to watch but an occasional thanks for all the free time you put into this would be nice instead of "you guys need to do this or that or stop doing this or try that." Again, this is meant as a heartfelt response, not a negative reaction to your post.
 
Okay, cool. Yeah, much like this forum, no Twitter beef would exist without us being on social media. Good point!
Of course there would still be arguing on twitter.

I don't think it is a coincidence ya'll still find yourself bickering elsewhere though. Even if it isn't here.

Yeah, all we do is bicker, good point once again.

I'm not hating on what ya'll are trying to do. Good for you. I appreciate you both trying to put more blazer content out there. It just is interesting how much drama has been around on your twitters with other people. For some reason drama seems to follow. I wonder why that is. Yes. Arguments can still happen without you both here. But it seems arguments happen for ya'll on other platforms too.

I literally don't recall ever interacting with you ever before this evening but you seem to know all about me.
 
I rarely listen to anyone talk on streams about basketball but I really like the website you guys have put together and I think you've done an excellent job with it. I know I"ve sampled other podcasts that I thought were really horrible and you guys seem to have built a following on youtube..I don't do twitter but I wish you luck and am happy for your success...my online audio entertainment is not sports related at all so I follow other stuff on youtube ...I do read hoops info so I like the site a lot.
 
"Haters" will always be haters, but too often that term gets thrown around towards anyone who may disagree, sometimes in the least little bit. That is where reality starts to take a holiday. No public medium will ever make everyone happy and trying to do so is a waste of time. Do what you do, always try to be growing and getting better, and it will be fine. That applies to just about anything in life.
