    Kings and Suns have tough schedule and we can get tiebreaker with Kings. I think 7-2 gets us in. The only tough games we have left are Knicks and Lakers. The other teams are the kinds of teams we’ve been beating consistently.

    Imagine being so myopic you want the worst for the team by making a play in.

    I'm glad I have the best interests in the team. Cause it sure ain't that, long term.

    What we want or think has no effect on the result. Wanting us to lose doesn’t somehow make you better than those who want us to win.

    By the way, this is the kind of inflammatory personal attack I was talking about. Unbecoming of a moderator.

    I don’t know, man. He doesn’t mention anyone by name. He doesn’t reply directly to anyone’s post. This doesn’t fit a personal attack. Now had he said Eric, or Jinx, or King is myopic for wanting them to win…..Or MM is smart for wanting them to lose….Those right there are personal attacks. One, for calling you myopic when you’re just a fan wanting what you think is best for the team, and the other for calling me smart, when I’m clearly a genius.

    I think it was pretty obvious or at least very easy to see who they were referring to. If they weren't, it sure appeared that way.

    I thought it was minor, but to say it didn't look that way is acting unreasonably naive.

    I didn't quote anyone or mention any names in my post, but I bet 95% of the people that can tell what I'm referring to.

    I think the main difference is no one cares what your posts think and because it's assumed and not fact, it falls within the guidelines :angel:

    Is that last sentence a question?

    It’s not a sentence. It’s a word making a statement that presumes a question. Go ahead and look it up.

    He’s asking why I put a question mark after “Wait” in the comment above.

    Some statements add inflection with different punctuation. In that instance I was writing it to sound like a question if I was speaking it.

    Could be shorthand for "can you wait?" That would be my interpretation.

    It's a sentence. Is it a question?

    My interpretation was he was directing someone or himself to wait while he thought it over himself.
