I do the same thing when I'm marking a 3 pointer. The only difference is my arm is straight in the air. Am I a gang banger Wookie? How do you know he wasn't referring to the three-point shot he just made?

Edit: Also, you don't even know what gang signs look like. That's not a blood sign. You don't spread your fingers in a 3 when you do a blood sign. Your fingers are supposed to be close together to make the straight line of a small case b. When did you suddenly become an expert on gang signs?

Wook decides that he hates a player based on the funniest little things.

Nene goes by one name? Fuck that guy.
 
I think Wook just hates every player that isn't on the Blazers, he'll change his mind and like them when they start wearing our jersey. Guys like Kobe are an obvious exception.

There was a lot more too it than that. To be honest, I don't remember exactly what happened to convince me he was someone worth rooting against. Whatever it was, it happened before he came to the NBA...
 
I stopped liking Pierce when he was carried off the court over a fake injury during the Playoffs (Finals?). But up to that point I liked him.
 
The only players I really hate are guys who play a style of basketball I find unappealing. Kobe is tops of the list because its a selfish star driven isolation style with little ball movement and low percentage shots. Thats why I can't stand Westbrook unless he's on a fast break. Melo can be terrible at times. As much of a bitch as CP3 is and arrogant the Warriors have become both their products can be very unselfish so I find that pleasing to watch.

Dame is overall amazing but there's a few moments where he starts jacking up deep heaves early in the clock and I start to get an uneasy feeling.

I hate James Harden. I hate him more than anyone else in the league because of what he represents. He is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the NBA.
 
I don't see Parsons as that much better or different of a player than Aminu.

Parsons will give you a bit better ball handling and offensive ability, but Chief is the better defender. I think the ability to drive the lane and finish in traffic is something that Chief will continue to get better at. Coming into this season so much of his focus was on being the guy who can knock down the open 3. If he puts in work finishing through contact in the off-season I think he can develop into an all-star caliber player. He's shown flashes of greatness finishing at the rim over the course of the season so I think it's there. It's just a matter of reducing the times where it looks like he's playing with a blindfold on.

All-in-all I think Parsons is too much of a side-grade considering the fact that he has been battling injury the past two season, and that Aminu now has 1 season under his belt with this team. I believe in Chief, and I look forward to seeing what kind of player he becomes when he is in his prime (He's still developing his game).

There are also other positions where I feel like we could make a bigger impact in free agency.

I couldn't disagree with you more. The only thing Aminu might be better at is defense, but advanced stats both rate them as about average. Parsons can shoot, drive, pass, handle the ball, and finish... all things that Aminu can't do.

Yeah, I'm not in favor of pursuing Parsons, but offensively he's SO MUCH BETTER than Aminu. There's no comparison.

I think that if they sign Whiteside then they have to go after Parsons. Whitesides such a good rim protecter that Parsons average defense won't matter. Having 3 players on the game that could run pick n roll surrounded by 3 shooters (Aminu as a starting 4) would be so insanely deadly... With Whiteside being perfect for the pick n roll defense Stotts runs, he would make everyone around him better defensively, as Dame, CJ, and Parsons are all solid 1-on-1 defenders that struggle more in the pick n roll.
