Perhaps these so-called negative threads help?

    For example , when I made the thread about Lillard only having 2 assists and how he should be at 8+. Do the Players/Coaches come in and read the forum from time to time to see what fans are saying?

    No. They don't see what the fans are saying. They come only to read what you have to say.

    Isn't that obvious?

    I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players did come in here to see what the fans are saying. And that goes for any team's players going into there own fan forum. I'm sure most players care what fans think about them.

    If they did, I doubt they would be here for long and probably wouldn't find what they are looking for without spending hours on hours reading threads upon threads. I highly doubt the Blazers are doing that. This team seems focused for being young and there are plenty of media outlets that can clue them in to the fans view if they so desire without sifting through forum threads.

    If they do I hope they let HCP hand pick the material they read to save from embarrassment.

    You mean the one time he had his lowest ast output? And one of only two times he's had 3 or fewer assists this year? That anomaly?

    in 16 games hes had 3 double digit assists, 10 games of 7+ assists, and 14 games of 5 or more assists.

    So no, you had nothing to do with it.

    When I was doing Bones, I read the FOX message board after every episode. When I've been in theater, I've read the theater message boards. Wouldn't surprise me if Dame read this message board.

    Actors notoriously have more downtime than athletes do, though. Posting a tweet or instagram doesn't take nearly as long, however, as reading message boards with tens to hundreds of messages.

    You could be right, though... but I doubt it.

    (have we baited Dame into posting yet) ;)

    What did people used to say? Were they mostly nice or mostly mean? Did you ever respond to people and let them know it was you?

    No. I had less time. I hardly ever posted here when I was busy working on the show. The athletes have lots of down time. They could check the board on their flights alone.

    Almost all was very nice. I did get one odd post on the IMDB board that criticized the way I acted on a flight from Hawaii. All I ever do is sleep on planes. I don't know what the person was talking about and he/she said that was why I was written off the show. I did respond to that. Here's the post and responses:

    http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1090644/board/threads/109139637/

    Also I posted on the FOX board after it was revealed that I was the apprentice to Gormogon. I had to lie to the press leading up to that and I wanted to apologize.

    For some reason, I can't find my respond on the mobile site for that link but I did go on a defend myself a few years ago. I just noticed someone who says is a friend of mine defended me. I wonder who it was.

    I introduced this site to quite a few of the guys. Kevin Pritchard used to come on here a bunch. I would show Jamal Crawford stuff people would post. He was real up into twitter reading everything people wrote about him. I know Wheels reads the threads as well.

    A mixture of nice, and shitty comments. Did you ever see this one?

    I'm certain Plumlee read my critique of his free throw shooting and followed my advise on how to improve his form and technique. It's the only explanation.

    You're welcome.
