    Example:

    "All dogs are assholes!" - Not a personal insult.

    "SlyPokerDog is an asshole!" - Personal insult but true.

    I do not subscribe to the notion that the blazers are a hopeless case to win.

    Who predicted the 2015 warriors?

    Who thought of the Raptors in June 2018 to be the following year's champs?

    Did anybody project Miami to be in the Finals in 2020 and 2023?

    I'm sure everyone thought bubble lottery Suns would be 2 wins away from a championship next year.

    And of course the Nuggets were runaway title favorites this year, right?

    Let's pretend we got WCJ in a trade this summer. Miami sucks next year and decides to start over. We can throw in the farm for Bam.

    Dame Shae Jerami WCJ Bam with the right supporting cast is a contender.

    I'm not saying that is what will happen. I'm saying it is convenient to dismiss the blazers, but there are paths to contend.

    Also, Dame staying, Scoot amd Shae blowes up and the Blazers become their team. Dame winning as the Robin or even third best player, would still mean more.

    It's called a generalization.

    I didn’t say it was a personal insult. But it’s the kind of toxic crap that is driving a wedge between the fans.

    I like this. I think it's the start of a few dominos to fall over the next few days. Thanks for the post.

    Yeah, it's not very beneficial to the health of the forum to indignify the whole of posters here with these kind of generalizations. We can also remember we are adults here and act like it.

    Also, I will say to those who seek to skirt the rules by overusing generalizations in place of insults, big brother is watching.

    Totally.

    Like… anyone named Chris is a huge asshole (but people with a middle name of Chris are amazing.)

    This forum is healthier when you all focus on insulting me than on each other.

    We're counting down to July 10th, right? When the Dame trade talk stops being "just talk" and action could possibly happen? If we trade him I do hope it's to the eastern conference so we only rack up two losses a season when he goes for 100 every time he sees our uniforms.

    (I say this as someone who thinks we should trade Dame, but doesn't necessarily fantasize about it...)
