Game Thread GAME# 35: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 5, 2015 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), KGW

[MarAzul]

Not frustrating watching him put up 12 and 12 in less than 19 minutes 0n .800 FG%, .750 3FG%, 1.000 FT% and 0 TOVs

When coach Stotts gets all that talent focused, it will be a wonder to watch this team.
Now I suppose that will draw some more rope smoking comments. Sigh!

In the game thread, several posters expressed "disappointment" with CJ. I responded that frankly, I'm more disappointed in TRob. Higher expectations, and less to show for it than either CJ or Meyers, IMO.

I'm happy to say I've consistently supported a patient approach to Meyers' development. I just hope I'm still happy in two years.

[BBert]

Wow. That's harsh.

ESPN LA guys absolutely in love with Dame and his closer qualities. Comparing him to a young Kobe bleh

Wow. That's harsh.

Since this has been brought to the Blazers attention...

I saw the post and issued a warning to Sinobas about it last night at 9:07pm. I'm not familiar with the warning system in the new forum software so it was a great way to see how it works. He was immediately notified that that post had been flagged.

I then sent him a friendly PM/Convo this morning asking him to tone it down in the game threads. Technically, under the rules of our forum that is not a personal attack but that, IMO, is more of a post designed to provoke a reaction from other people posting in the game thread. It's something that could lead to insults and arguments. I was polite but I did ask him to take things down a notch or two in the game threads.

I also included other members of the staff in the conversation I was having with Sinobas so we would all be on the same page.

I did not delete the post. Again, while it made me uncomfortable to read there was nothing wrong with it.

what a sad existence.

 

[tlongII]

Sinobas is a clown. I would be very surprised if he actually believes what he posts. Kind of like Rudy. And B-Roy to a lesser extent.

 

[tlongII]

It's funny that PapaG still reads the forum.

Except Dame is more clutch.

Remember the Michael Jordan commercial where he talked about how many game winners he MISSED? I'd be curious to see a clutchness comparison between the three of them.

 

[MARIS61]

Hmm... seems I was the only one that pegged TRob's rebound number in the poll.

See it's avatars like this that I want to hide when I'm browsing the site around kids/at work, etc

But she's sporting the Scarlett and Black!

Barely.

Oh my God. What a jerk.

How do I rep this?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Its not papaG that said those things, its sinobas

Yep and PapaG being his usual shit stirring self. Out of the hundreds of posts in the game thread, that's the one he decides to tweet. Once a douche, always a douche.

Yep, he certainly can't be accused of poor shot selection. He only shoots when he's open and feeling it. His TS% of .618 is now best on the team. We don't need him jacking up a ton of shots. Were far better of with him taking a few GOOD shots when the defense slacks off him.

If only this was contagious.

I appreciate him tweeting it. If they want to check out that we had a 600+post thread on a Monday night where we were playing like garbage most of the game, and be offended that there's one poster on the internet who expresses unpopular opinions, I'm not sure that there's anything I can do to stop it, even if I wanted to, which I personally don't.

The phrase "hoist on his own petard" comes to mind. I have no idea why, since it doesn't fit here, but jus' sayin'...

 

[BrianFromWA]

I mean, it's more interesting that he has two tweets since September and 8 followers, but chose this medium. Branching out!

And yet, like mature adults everyone ignored it. Well almost everyone...Leave it to a banned user to remind us why they are banned.

Frankly I don't know why you brought that onto the forums... Might as well unban him if you are going to do that.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

This is kind of sad, actually. When he wasn't making the entire conversation about himself, he posted some interesting basketball opinions. It's sad he's become so paranoid. Hope his family isn't suffering over his mental illness.

 

[Boob-No-More]

what a loser. lol

Wow, loser is right, and he can't even do simple math. I called one former poster who was repeatedly banned for repeatedly stirring shit a shit stirrer and somehow that equals 95% of the entire forum?

And now he's publicly called me out in front of all 8 of his followers. How will I ever live with the shame?

Agreed. He was banned (several times) for a reason. No need to bring him pack. The forum has been a much better place without him.

OH WOW PapaG is really clever. It's not about twitter at all. It's about posting on the forum by "hacking" the Twitter module. Very clever. He's banned but still posting on the forum because we haven't blocked him from the Twitter module yet.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Annnnd I adblocked the Twitter module. Problem solved!

I control what's seen on the forum twitter feed. Or one of my aliases do. I won't tell.
