Golliver is so cute

Right. It's all just some massive media fueled conspiracy to drive LaMarcus out of town.

No, it's also hysterical fans, too, who believe only the things they want to believe in the local media because it's how they feel, too, while discounting things that conflict with their opinions.

lol Nate, why don't you swing from my dick a little more?

Ben? Is that you?

Ben? Is that you?

Blaze should know how you've been advocating a trade for Aldridge. The fact that you've called him out like we have, gives further proof that Ben is a fucking cock sucker

Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

I don't read BE all that much, seems I go on binges where I do but for the most part stay away. As a reporter myself, it seems the questions on the face aren't that big a deal. He's digging for answers and he didn't seem to be that big of a jerk. It does seem he had an agenda going into the interview, but (sadly) that seems to be the way "journalism" is handled these days.

Blazersedge has gone waaaaayyyyy downhill. Does anyone still actually read that site? Is it 2007?

When taken as what it is, its a fine interview. Nothing really out of line, Ben obviously had an agenda going in to try and find more out about the Star on the Blazers and the Rumors surrounding him but thats something pretty much everyone wants to know about so its not surprising. When its take in the context of everything Ben has written about the last year and what he has been harping about on Twitter/BE it seems, and this is just my opinion, that he is trying to get Olshey to slip up about LMA.

I will freely admit I don't like Ben and think he has gotten to big for his breeches. He seems to over analyze everything and more often then not that over analyzing of the situation leads him to write very negative views about the Blazers and seems to try and refuse/refute anything remotely positive about the Blazer and the situation they are in. He takes the Jaynes approach because it gets him more views but it also makes him look like a quack.

This is close to what I would say. Standing alone, the questions are not out of line. (You can tell from Olshey's near-sarcasm that he's tired of Golliver's always-aggressive questions.) The problem is the context of Golliver's national writing, in which he uses his template of negative stereotypes against all teams. In writing, it's called "hackneyed" and he's a "hack."
