Looks like more Oden means less Outlaw

[ehizzy3]

Why, because I called it correctly on the BBF boards after a certain someone was selected? Look how that ended up.

That said, Ed O, Minstrel, and Barfo seem to all be fair yet opinionated.

what does that have to do with anything?

 

[PapaG]

You get awfully bitter when people don't agree with you.

That was a nice steal by Outlaw. He's still not a good defender.

How am I being bitter? I am happy the team won. Are you? Minstrel = a clown of sorts, no?

 

[PapaG]

Nothing other than responding to your OT/Mod post directed at me in this thread. Or was I just supposed to not respond? Clue me in, ehizzy.

 

[Minstrel]

How am I being bitter?

By taking one jab after another at "mods" because I (and Ed O, maybe) dared criticize Outlaw.

I am happy the team won. Are you?

Very. Plus, it's always nice to be proven right, as I was.

Your avatar says "global moderator" under it, and a minstrel is a clown of sorts.


Am I missing something here?

Um, OK. Thanks for the input.

what do the mods have to do with outlaw and why do you keep ragging them?

that was also a nice pressure he made on Foye on that out of bounds play causing them to use their final TO with over 6 minutes left eh?

I like how Nate had him guarding Foye and Telfair during the game. He often played well off them and doubling down hard on Jefferson but was still able to cover RF & STs jumpers and deny their drives.

I wasn't referring to your "clown town" remark, dear. I was aware that you don't know what a minstrel is (as you admit here) and were likely referring to that.

I was referring to your remarks about how it couldn't have been a nice steal because "the mods" claim he doesn't play defense and "Amazing what it takes to be a moderator."

Maybe I'm missing something...what does the moderator position have to do with basketball opinions?

Yup. Outlaw has nice length and the tools to be a good defender. It's a shame he hasn't translated that into actually being a good defender. But he's definitely capable of a good defensive play here and there.

Obviously there is no correlation or causation between being a "mod" and having valid basketball opinions.

I do thank you for allowing me to express myself on a forum on which you have as much financial stake in as I do, however.

Hah, I've struck a nerve. Does it hurt, Dear?

 

[bodyman5001]

I added something to my original post 3 minutes after I posted it and well before you responded. Is there some sort of prize for being the pettiest most ridiculous poster that you're going for, or are you just trying to avoid responding to me calling you out on your silly BS... that a Big shooting a quality percentage from the outside is somehow a bad thing for an offense? I'm sure I could dig up some quotes from Phil Jackson from when the Pistons whitewashed the Lakers because of (in his opinion) Wallace's ability to stretch the D as well. A Big who can pull a defensive Big out of the lane and drop 4th quarter 3's is a good thing.

STOMP

hahahahahhahah. who fucking cares? You got me. I did the math wrong, only thing is I have been drinking Margaritas since noon.

I still win, you can talk about Phil Jackson and Sheed all you want but Sheed is on another level on his worst day. Oh wait, 99 percent of Earth thinks that Sheed could have been a HOF player by staying in the post.

Sheed>LMA (for now).....The future is up to Aldridge, he can be a Dirk wannabe or an all star. His choice.
ME>YOU (always, even when I am drunk as fuck)

Since you have no idea that a game is a fluid thing and changes given what the circumstances are, I am just going to let this go and you can pretend that I am the petty one.

 

[Minstrel]

No correlation or causation at all. Anyone may have a valid basketball opinion, moderator or not.

Hah, I've struck a nerve. Does it hurt, Dear?

You're the one who got bitter, not me. Apparently, how Outlaw is perceived is a burning issue in your life. Look at all the passive-aggressive posts you've directed at me for calling Outlaw a big plus on offense.

You introduced the terms of endearment, sweetie. lol

Right. So we agree that I was nice to you. Why would you confuse that with being upset at you?

 

[STOMP]

thankfully those moments are coming a lot more frequently then they used to. I thought he was pretty darned good on D tonight and overall has been a step up from last year. He's still occasionally a bit of a baby giraffe, but more and more he's in the right position, active, and using his length. I doubt there have been many Blazers who have been assigned to guard each of the five positions at one time or another like he has. Certainly no one who is still being called a poor defender...

Dear is a term a misogynist would use. Either that, or you are using it toward me as a term or endearment, and that is just weird.

So which is it, Clown...errrr Minstrel?

Term of endearment. Why is that weird?

it seemed something was off... oh well no hard feelings next time

Outlaw just turned 24 years old and he is as clutch a player as you could hope for outside of LeBron James or Brandon Roy (although Roy choked last night on the time out situation).

I recognize his limitations, but I also more so recognize the limitations of those who post against Outlaw. It's weird. I just do not get it, and I'll keep posting the facts while they keep posting their opinions.

 

[Minstrel]

I recognize his limitations

Why are you anti-Outlaw? He just won us a game. This isn't the best night to try pushing such anti-Outlaw sentiments!

Just kidding...be as anti-Outlaw as you like. Despite my being a fan of his, I am tolerant to people who run him down, like you just did.

Why do you personally attack posters as a moderator. Especially those who you eventually cede the argument to? You guys have a great board here. Let's not have the thin skin that they had at BBF.

I'm not sure how any of these things relate to me.

I do agree that we have a great board here.

 

[ehizzy3]

calling someone a clown must not be a personal attack

 

[dpc]

Outlaw was clutch tonight. I knew it was going to him on that last play, and the moment I saw it leave his hands I just sat down because I knew it was in.

 

[PapaG]

An interpretation on the "minstrel" handle. Why are you attacking me? That's a good question for a mod.

All y'all need to stop talking about mod this and mod that. See me and Stomp as a good example of how to clear the air (Stomp and I, I should probably say but still kinda drunk)

Plus, I never gamble but me and my girlfriend won like 70 bucks today at a casino. PARTY. (my girlfriend and I)

Anyhoo, I'M KING OF THE WORLD BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!
