    I'm offended by your stereotyping chauvinistic insinuation's about men. Strike 1.

    If that's OK with you, m'lady.

    THE PAST 4 YEARS smh. You're trying to add the a year from 5 years ago onto that to try to make your point. FFS. Im not ignoring years, you're trying to use a data point thats so old it's irrelevant. I could use the last 3 years, 2 years, 4 years... it doesn't matter, dudes a different player and if you paid enough attention or were able to see through your hatred you could see that. Sadly, your confirmation bias knows no bounds as Griffin has been healthy ALL year and has an unluckily timed MINOR injury. If theres an 70-80% chance he'll play in the postseason, I'll take it.

    Your argument is the only thing desperate here. Thanks for confirming your biased hatred by saying he plays "no defense".

    That 31 point meltdown might have been the best thing that could have happened to the Golden State Warriors.
    It woke them up big time.
    Wondering if they will lose another game in the playoffs?

    Do you know where the red lid is to the medium container? I have been looking for it.

    Huh. I had no idea. I guess this makes them slightly cooler, but without that association they're ass. Love B.I.G. though!

    Jeez - with Nurk this coulda been a set-up similar to DAL's champ run.

    You forgot the most obvious difference when comparing Blake/Aminu: $35M vs $7M.

    That toilet seat thingie was drummed into me before our first anniversary, but the Tupperware? C'mon, you know we males do not possess the right genes to ever decipher the mysteries of a woman's "organization" of a refrigerator. It would be like expecting Sly to learn how to do calculus right after he leaves a pile on your yard.

    And you're trying to IGNORE that year in order to make YOUR point. Cuts both ways.
    You're not gonna change dviss's mind, so just stop. He has legit reasons for NOT wanting him. You have legit reasons FOR wanting him. /end

    For the billionth time... we did not reorganize. It was in a totally logical place however, when you last used it you failed to put it back so others on the forum would be able to find it when they need it. If you didn't leave your crap all over this place wouldn't be such a pit!

    You're Trippin. Go back through the thread and see that I've been talking about the past 5 seasons. Besides why would we leave out another season where he was hurt? My point has always been that he's been hurt 5 years straight.

    Now, where was Blake when his team needed him in our playoff series?

    Same place he's been the past 5 seasons...

    Holy crap! You're my wife! I didn't realize you had an account here.

    BTW, I was just kidding about all of that Mrs. HCP stuff.

    I've tried to explain this to you a million times but your blind hatred makes it impossible.

    That's the thing, he brought up Aminu.

    I was focused on the reason I don't want Blake.

    You can stop with that bullshit. And frankly I'm tired of you insulting my intelligence.

    I haven't said one thing about how I don't like him as a talking point in this debate.

    I've ONLY talked about injury history.

    So I'm done debating with you on this now.

    It's kinda pompous to not bring a compelling argument and blame the the other side's "hate" as the only reason they disagree with you...

    ESPECIALLY Durant because that man was cooking early. They'll definitely lose another game as I anticipate the series with the Rockets will go AT LEAST 6 games.

    BG is interesting in a lot of ways to me. Skillset, Athleticism, ability, talent he's an almost perfect fit for the Blazers. I definitely think their is a long injury history there and a decent argument that what it would require to get him may gut the team if he continues to have those injuries. He has missed parts of many post-seasons because of injuries which does lend to the idea that maybe he can't take the beating of a long NBA season.

    I acknowledge your point about the injuries, but I think I find myself on the other side, I think I'd be willing to take the risk for him. He's a really special player (in my opinion) when he's healthy.
