Guys getting back at it!

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Funny thing is that MM isn't the one who made the initial comment on Freeland. He just expounded on it.

 

[julius]

Actually, that was Meyers shotputting a three, not blocking Barton's shot.

you bastard. every time I read that, I laugh.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to maxiep again.

Sigh... you're smarter than that right? MM did make the quote about race, which is what my original comment was about.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I'd say you're smarter than that, but I really don't know. So much joking about race on this board, I took the initial comment along those lines given the environment of the board, whether it was intended that way. MM just took the comment and ran with it. Do you expect differently from MM? If it bothers you so much, why post here?

If Mediocre can post about race, why can't Dviss? How'd you get between them? What's it to you?

Freeland's actually getting a lot more time now than he will. He's currently the 2nd PF and 3rd C. When PFs Aldridge and Claver return, Freeland will be only the 3rd C.

 

[Mediocre Man]

It never fails.. You always stick some idiotic quote about race in the thread.

Freeland isn't even our 3rd PF. I'd rather have Claver in at stretch 4. Freeland is expendable...

He just got his spot taken by someone who can actually rebound....

Aldridge/Robinson/Claver/Wright/Freeland

[Eastoff]

No more comments about race. For once can we have a thread about the topic and not get derailed.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I love that in most every pic I have seen Robinson is rebounded or out letting a rebound. That's a good sign.

Slightly OT: T-Rob resembles Greg Oden in the face in a couple of those pics

You mean Greg Oden looks like T-Rob in 20 years?

Truth.

Not sure why there's a need to settle down. I'm pretty calm. Your "tongue in cheek" comments get annoying because they are mostly all about race.
Freeland sucks. That's why he's not playing.

Not sure who made you the ref but whatever. I wasn't even talking to you. And there was no comment on race in the thread until MM inserted it so the board environment had no racial context. Still not sure what your problem is or why you need to insult me. The bottom line is MM's comment was annoying and I said something to him about it. Not sure why you're in the middle...

And now back to Freeland, you know the guy who will either average 5 mins a game or get traded before the deadline.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Truth.

I figured he wasn't playing because his team was out.

Obviously him not playing had nothing to do with race or "Obama's America" It was a joke based off of many things said in the OT section. But ya, back on topic and extremely PC from here on out

Sigh.... apparently, you're not smarter than that. You responded to my post, with my post quoted. The very next post in the entire thread was my response to you. Not sure why you're so confused. But I am confused why or how you'd expect me to not think you were talking to me. Go review the thread. You quoted my post and responded in a manner that was pretty clear that you weren't responding to MM directly. You throwing a hiffy-fit just makes it worse. MM is always bashing big, white NBA's as big white stiffs. It's part of his schtick. It's seemingly not going to change.

As for Freeland...... I'm surprised people really ever thought he'd play much. He has some nice moves on occasion, but doesn't have the quickness and athleticism to compete with anything but scrubs on the NBA level. He needs to become more savvy if he wants to stick in the league. He has one thing going for him: decent body size. Big guys always get looks.

Let's be honest, here. Anyone big and white is going to be a stiff through your eyes, MM.

 

[mook]

I figured he wasn't playing because his team was out.

I figured he'd rather be the small, dead fish floating in a big pond, rather than the big dead fish floating in a small pond filled with your mama's aborted fetuses.

 

[mook]

Oh, and the fetuses are all white, 6'10 "centers".

I'm semi pro Euro big

My 1st comment was regarding MM's racial one. My 2nd one was to you regarding the silly comment you made about MM simply "expounding" on your comment. It really didn't require a response. The bottom line is: let's talk basketball not race and you don't need to be the ref.

HEY! What happened to dropping the tangent and getting back to Blazers. Last time I checked this is not in the OT section.

Agreed. And you don't need to be a baby or my mother.

If you just ignore the comments, they happen less and less. Why make a fuss?

LOL. Case and point. Good job MM, that was funny on several levels--especially considering past forum discussions. Deep.

On topic, it's great to see the guys getting into it and building relationships. I'm hoping this season transcends all the logical expectations and becomes something very special.

For sure. Glad to see everyone coming into town early, too, though it does scare me some, as the injury bug always seems to bite someone. It will be nice having a deeper bench this season. Biggest thing to me is seeing Robin Lopez, T-Rob, Barton, Nards, and CJ here. You knew Lillard would be here already, but it's good they're all out there, building relationships and working on hoops!

 

[dviss1]

So if there's something wrong that is happening in the US do you speak about it or stay silent? Exactly...

IMO The fuss was made by MM. Perspective..

WTF are you talking about? This is a message board. Talk about perspective.

LOL at the guy who says to get back on topic and twice takes it back off topic when we've moved on.

 

[Eastoff]

Robin Lopez, T-Rob, Barton, Nards, and CJ here. You knew Lillard would be here already,

We know Mo Williams got in today, and Joel Freeland not being mentioned. So what do you think some of the teams look like in their pick up games?
Big men: RoLo, ThRobinson, Nards, Freeland
Guards:Barton, CJ, Mo, Lillian

Anyone else in town I missed?

Lillian? Oh no you didn't!

You forgot Wessy Wes - he's in town!
