T-WOLVES @ BLAZERS - GAME THREAD

I have a personal request, if people have a beef with one another is it too much to ask to take it into PMs? I mean, I'm all for a good argument and all, especially if the argument revolves around basketball related stuff, but the 4 page tete-a-tete makes it pretty much impossible to actually have a conversation not dominated by one or two posters (and no, I don't really care who started it, or who is who in this particular fight).

 

The difference is, I see Nate's strengths and his weaknesses. I commend him for his strengths though, while I complain about his weaknesses. I damn sure don't search for negatives in an otherwise positive evening. You do.

Everyone else is happy and excited, yet you find a way to point out that Miller took more shots than Roy. He didn't shoot a bad percentage. He didn't take bad shots. But he did take more shots than Roy. Why even point that out? It's one game. Why search for negatives in a win? You don't see how that could be construed as trolling? If you don't, I can't help you. I just call it like I see it.

With that said, I never called you a troll, so stop acting like I made a post stating that papag is a troll.

 

No I did; it's a familiar post because it's similar to the one that got me ignored by you.

 

That's basically my point, although I do realize that me being the messenger means that personal attacks will supercede actually discussing some potential on-court problems.

So, I agree with you, yet I don't think the world is ending, or that Nate should be fired, or etc. etc. etc.

 

Love is a battlefield.

 

Point taken.

 

Minnesota is a real crappy team. They start a guy named Oleksiy Pecherov... seriously? I like Flynn's game, but I think he's another 6-foot shooting guard. Too bad they didn't have Rubio but I don't know why Rambis took this job.

 

Perhaps Nik should be the mod.

 

No worries, I just wanted to talk about the game and revel in it a bit ... instead ... meh.

 

Best post of the thread!

 

I turned it down because deep down I know I'm too much of a sarcastic prick.

 

Revel in what? Beating an NBDL team?

 

Perhaps you should be the mod.

 

Thanks a lot, now the song's stuck in my head.

 

Nah, I realize that my personality isn't conducive for that role. It's called being self-aware. Try it out sometime.

 

Yes! It only counts for one win out of a possible eight-two, but it looked great, it looked like players were having fun and it looked like it's the kind of thing that could help give them some confidence.

Whatever you want to say, Minny took Boston to the wire a few days ago and it's not like they are getting run off the floor every night. Just think of the alternative, this could have been a wire to wire game and imagine all the kvetching and misery around here then.

 

Your self-awareness has an Andre Miller-shaped blind-spot.

 

Me too, yet I'll add that the video is also running through my head. Did you ever realize the similarities between the bar dance in that video when compared to Thriller? It's uncanny, or so the video screen in my head is showing me.

 

I said I loved the win. I made a few comments about things I noticed. Next thing you know, I'm a troll, and I just can't let that go, since the mod is now lying about saying it about me.
