    Nik, BNM, MM (now that coach Nate is gone), Minstrel, Masbee, Ed O, NB3, off the top of my head

    As for Lord of the Nerds.... I'd say me! Ph.D. E.E., used to play D&D and was on chess team, now I backpack, play chess and Magic the Gathering, and spend too much time on this nerdy message board, writing a computer program for fun. Basically, about half of the stuff in Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" apply to me :) Like HCP, I'm hispanic, was raised in NE Portland, but am happy to be out of there. /thread

    Agreed. If I read for posters, I'd be skimming through a lot of BS just to get to posts that are slightly less BS.

    ^not sarcasm.

    Here's the thing; I think we've all had moments of clarity and moments of sheer craziness. I've read some amazing takes from just about every poster on this board (with the exception of HCP), so I don't discriminate. I think I've only ignored one or two people before I was a mod, and it was only temporarily. I like to read what people have to say about the team, and it's more fun to read posts from people who put some thought into it, and not just "the team sucks" or "yeah! go blazers!".

    same. And a lot of times on my phone I will read posts zoomed in enough to where I can't see who the poster is, and when I come across something completely off topic and not basketball related, I know HCP has dropped his knowledge.

    This sounds about right for me too. Maybe remove a name or two.

    I didn't want to hurt any feelings. But I don't know who NB3 is and I don't think Masbee posts that much.

    e:Oh NateBishop3... LUL I'm dumb.

    This isn't really a site you come to for information. It's a place to bullshit. People like Storyteller are clearly God-Emperors of the Basketball Nerds.

    OK in no particular order off the top of my head: Barfo, Ed O, Minstrel, jlrpk, BlazerCaravan, smart and funny and even bizarre (who am I talking about here?)
    I'm more of a fly on the wall around here but these posters are ones I like to read. I've found community is the best for basketball discussion if you don't mind weeding through all of the front office conspiracy theories.

    There are posters that I don't care for on the blazers board that I like on the off topic board. I thought about making a thread about that but never got around to it. I like maxiep on the basketball side and Maris61 on the off topic side.

    I just think for someone who bitches so much about sexist avatars, you are probably the worst culprit of it
