    You've predicted some low winning seasons, though recently in the past few seasons, you've started guessing in the 40's so I'll give you that.

    You really can’t nickname him that! :lol:

    If you don’t understand why, try calling someone that in an English pub.

    I know what a twat is. I'm not the one who gave it to him. I wouldn't call someone that in an English Pub unless I was looking for a fight.

    My early prediction is that Walker will overtake him.

    I could see that happening. I could see them playing in the frontcourt together off the bench.

    For Watford to play more minutes this year than last, he would need to average about 11 minutes per game and play in all 82 games.

    That's not a crazy prediction but the minutes would likely have to come at center and I don't know that I'm excited about a 6'8 center that hasn't proven much yet.

    I'm not excited about that either but outside of Eubanks off the bench that's what we have.

    It’s not about just minutes per game. It’s about meaningful minutes per game. He didn’t play any meaningful minutes last season. We were trying to lose.

    Either Hart or Little will come off the bench and there is also Payton, I'm not sure that they'll necessarily rely on conventional positions. Drew and Watford being the only real bigs (that I can think off of the top of my head) isn't much to get that excited or sad about.

    It cannot be real but it sure did make me think for a second.

    I've often wondered what it would be like to have PatBev on your favorite team.
    I think it would be similar to when Danny Ainge played here.
    Except Ainge was never a raving lunatic...I mean, even if that encounter didn't happen, why post something like that?
    And, if it DID happen?...

    I can't stand PatBev's antics. I can't stand the way that he fouls so much that refs just stop calling it. I can't stand the fact that the refs submit to attrition like that. Oh and what in the actual fuck would make someone say some shit like that to the media? That might be some funny joke in the locker room but it just adds to my disdain for the guy that he would put that out there for the public.

    This is the last player I want on the team. He fools people into thinking he is a great defender when really all he does is try to injure people. And he's a jackass.

    As far as the "quote" goes it's obviously fake and something someone wrote as a joke though. It's an exageration to make fun of this quote.

    I guess you can just put text under a picture of a dude and some people will assume the dude really said that. I'll try too.

    I disagree, chunky peanut butter is superior.

    Well, it has a spelling error, so it must be Sly.
