    You're so easily offended it's comical.

    I've never made a personal attack in here in my life.....and meant it.

    I don't even know who you are, but clearly you're here to try and offend posters.

    Look up the definition of "insufferable", Drama Queen.

    In this case, "impossible behavior". I once followed my remark with a smiley, though. Does that count? :)

    Not at all. I'm still wondering what I did in this thread to deserve your derision. I did respect you as a poster.

    1st Half - Oden plays five minutes and has zeroes across the boxscore.

    Result: Game tied, 45-45

    2nd Half - Oden goes off for 14/6/2

    Result: Blazers outscore Memphis by 14, 48-34


    Seems like the difference to me, 14. It's really not that hard to understand if you're extremely intelligent like me. I didn't even use a calculator.

    When ABM joins the fling the scat at other posters caucus, you know this place is headed in a downward spiral.

    Hey, I can't make everyone happy. Sorry about my seeming harshness. For the record, I was giving you a ribbing. Your thin skin is very apparent, though.

    I've been told that +/- means nothing for one game.

    Yep, all because I said Gasol didn't score against Oden. Be offended if it affords you the attention you constantly seek.

    Yes, it is. I don't take kindly to personal attacks.

    I don't even know how that has any relevance to anything I posted...

    Oden made a difference tonight. I already posted that. If it makes you feel better, sure, he was THE difference tonight.

    Christ. Feel better?

    If you think someone else (such as LMA) was the difference, that's fine. Your original response talking about the performance of Gasol made it seem as if you didn't think Oden made a big difference at all. If that wasn't the case, then pardon my blunt response. Greg played great basketball in the second half - and you're right, he needs to be in the game more often. He has to avoid the early fouls.

    Yeah, that's the point of this thread, although I think it isn't all Greg's fault and that the officials have it out for him.

    Bash away at me, folks! :NOTMARIS:

    Uh, I felt fine before, during and after responding to you. I was merely offering some simple math to show you the difference Oden made in the second half... Why are you so riled up? This doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

    It depends on how you meant the smiley. :NOTMARIS:
