OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - August 2021

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

If we win a title I'll be elated. On O-Live I was regularly called a Kool Aid kid but right now is a time of consternation for the franchise. I'll be optimistic when we have more to be hopeful about. If something crazy happens between now and then and we win an unexpected title I'll be happy and give you all of the credit in the world.
You were on O-Live? Same name?
 
Some of the Negative Nancy's probably changed theirs though. On O-Live there was a poster with the JetBlack monikor. Sly would probably remember more.

Jet!

My god he was an angry person.

Whatever happened to him?
 
I think I was Bruno on Oregon Live.

I got picked for post of the day a couple of times for my more positive posts and got dragged by several members for being too optimistic.

Then I posted something about feeling sick when Chandler Parsons hit the go-ahead shot in Game 6 of the playoffs before Dame won it. Next thing I know, I was jumped by about three posters who just kept trashing me about being a negative poster who always brought down the board. They went about it for a couple of days and then started to accuse me of using multiple handles. I was like "WTH, I've been posting here with this one handle for years."

It got to a point that I was getting trolled anytime I posted anything and the mods never lifted a finger about it, so I left there and found this board.

Give it up. We all know Bruno is a KD alt account!

Post of the day was fun, I got picked a couple of times too. Those of mine that go picked tended to be very constructive criticism of general things about the team. Like, "Why aren't we running the pick and roll more with Roy and Aldridge?" type of shit. I remember the first time I got picked I thought it was cool. The second time someone, I think one of the staff or mods or whatever congratulated me. That was funny.

I like this site because it's less hostile but the format took getting used to for me. How long has it been since the O Live exodus?
 
In all seriousness, I'm sure two of the guys who were saying I was a fake account trolling the board were "hoopjock" or "hoopsjock" and "hoopguru" or "hoopsguru." Now there are guys here with those handles but they don't seem anything like the guys I remember using those names on Oregon live.

I know one of my posts of the day was an analysis of the draft picks and how they fit in. Then these posters came out of the woodwork saying it was too optimistic and blasting the site for picking a poster who was new ... I'd been posting there for at least 2-3 years. I guess I wasn't memorable, or everyone H3P'd me or whatever that poster's name is here that everyone has on ignore ....

We can't all be @Lanny #legend

Sure wasn't me, as that isn't my style.

It's the fault of all the different people using my account and sometimes I forget which account I'm posting under.

You know, there are three people on the internet, and I am all three.

So you are saying you have a dog. Nice.

I have a friend of mine who occasionally posts on here under my name. It's usually when my posts make sense, and are well thought out.






*Edit* I just asked my friend and he said he's never posted under my account.

Do your friend and you happen to share the same physical body?

No, hes much shorter than I am, and has about 80 pounds on me.
 
Count 8 that shouldn't be on the list, AT ALL! Thompson, due to injuries is borderline IMO. Looks like whoever did this prediction needs to be sent to the Pines.
 
2,3, 5, 7,16,17,18.19. all seem way off. Is the guy hoping he will hit on one and be called a genius?
