I’m not sorry at all that my opinions are upsetting you. I’ve read plenty of your past judgmental posts about Billups now and you calling anyone else out for anything is hilarious to me.

You don't seem to have opinions, you just have one rhetorical trick. But I'm happy to amuse you, although I doubt you have a sense of humor.

These are direct responses to Dame's tweets, and yes, a lot of them are Blazer's fans.

I really try not to hate people, but lately, I have not been very successful. These fans disgust me with their ignorance

By the way, this person is a real piece of work:



"Critical" huh? Definitely not the ones calling him out for not being a decent human.

I’ll guess a lot of those same people want Becky Hammon as head coach even though she was very close to Kobe Bryant and family and had to be well aware that Kobe was arrested, charged, and arraigned with rape before he reportedly paid his accuser $2.5 million to go away.

Talk about double standards. Do they even realize how hypocritical they are bashing Dame while wanting “rape apologist” Hammon as coach?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cn...o-lost-a-real-advocate-becky-hammon-says.html

"He watched the WNBA, and I think as he had more time on his hands in retirement, he got more involved and was just beginning to be that voice for so many women that maybe didn't have a strong voice or as big or as loud or carried as much weight as his did, and still does," Hammon said before the Spurs hosted the Chicago Bulls Monday night. "The women's game lost a real advocate and someone who truly believed that women can do anything."
...

"She loved it," Hammon said of Gianna's love for basketball. "You could tell. That's what so great about sports; the quality time that she got with her dad, the quality time that he invested in her, they found a common bond.

"It's a special bond; it's the father-daughter bond, and then it's this thing beyond that, which is sports, that they could connect on," she said. "The belief that he had in his daughter, the belief that he had in women's basketball – the appreciation he had for women's basketball, touched me, motivated me, inspired me."
 
I think a lot of the fan backlash against Dame is because they thought he was "different" (and he is) but translated this to "and exactly like me". What they don't really appreciate is that he's like a politician - he has to keep disparate factions happy and he can't just say whatever the fuck he wants. This is why you should never idolize someone - it's literally impossible for them not to disappoint you. As sports figures go, he's pretty exceptional, but he's not going to be Mahatma fucking Gandhi (who was also seriously flawed, of course. And don't get me started on Mother Theresa).

If I was part of Dame's inner circle, I would advise a break from social media for a while, just because it will be easy right now to say something that could be blown out of proportion (and in fact, pretty damn hard not to). I wonder what pressure there is to be at Billups's press conference. I bet Olshey would really like him to be.

Right, so the fault goes on who? Damian Lillard? Or the idiot fans that he can't possibly please?

Oh hell no, i do not want Dame at that potential shitshow. But the one person who NEEDS to be there is Jody. Unfortunately, I think it will only be Neil and maybe McGowan.

Saying “have a good day” on Twitter will get 20 trolls responding negatively.

“Oh I have depression don’t be insensitive. I never have good days!”

“How can I have a good day when (insert Trump or Biden) could be President and ruin the country!”

“There are kids in cages under (insert Obama or Trump and now Biden who all does it) do you think they will have a good day?”

It’s why I quit that site early last year. A complete cesspool of some of the angriest and emotional people on the planet. Completely worthless and 240 chuaracters per Tweet is the perfect length for the part of that populace that has the attention span of a 5 year-old child.

Again, I'm asking nicely, please keep politics out of the main forum.
 
I didn't realize Dame's 4th year was a player option. So it's 3 years. Hard to see him turning down 55 million when he's 34, but crazier things have happened.
 
I'm sorry but this really comes off as a guy who has been sheltered in a city where he hasn't received any flack at all, and now that he's getting some heat he is starting to think about wanting out?

Dude... go play in Philly and then come back and tell me our fans suck. I can PROMISE you he would have taken much worse heat after the Pels series than he is taking right now. Go look at what Ben Simmons is taking from their fans. Those tweets look pretty damn innocuous to me.

3:13 Playoff record with Nurk as a starting Center, had the best run without him. Just sayin

Exactly. I’m telling you this dude has the confidence and attitude of a fucking a superstar. Go humble yourself while your in foul trouble in the 1st half with 4 fouls. Stfu Nurk

At that point he’ll be like 34 years old. He can leave if he wants by then..
 
Neil is not perfect. He has missed badly on some drafts. (most of which other teams did als0) But one advantage to having a stubborn patient GM is knowing he is not likely to give in easily to any trades for Dame. Dame is not going anywhere. Not this year anyway.

This is why I quit Twitter 6 years ago. It's an absolute fucking cesspit. And for every one person who sucks you into an argument, there are 1,000 more waiting in line after them.

I KIND OF agree with this. If he's arguing on Twitter with people and crying about getting shit on social media, of all places.....grow a thicker spine Dame. You are 1,000 times the person ANYONE on Twitter is.

At the same time, I don't blame him for being upset with getting hate, when all he has ever done is bend over backwards for the fanbase; half of whom are batshit crazy.
 
Starting shitty threads and then saying “well then don’t post” is a terrible way to go about a forum
 
The only thing that will get Dame, is Kyrie imo.

Brooklyn aitn trading Kyrie. The guy who reported it walked it back. We seen what happened once he went down. KD could not carry, and Harden does what he usually does in the playoffs (Injured or not injured), disappear. Irving is the only member of the big three who leave the team with a negative net rating when he is off the floor. He is more important than people want to give him credit for. However, this trade really makes no sense, considering KD and Ky came to the Nets together, and their contracts are up 2022 (Player options).

I might like this one better than the Jaylen Brown trade. Follow it up with CJ/future 1 for Simmons. We would need another Guard but would get a lot younger with 4 nice pieces.

Brown is better than Ingram.

I agree but I like Hayes better than Williams and Alexander-Walker better than Smart(I don’t like Smart) Plus they have a lot of first rounders to throw around. They could offer a pretty stacked package.

I don't dislike you either. I'm still waiting for your first post that isn't about you. You have enough fascination with yourself for everyone. Have you heard of Borderline Personality Disorder?
