    Playoffs>mid lottery always

    However, I will say I like guys like Sabonis, Valentine and Brice Johnson. I wouldn't be opposed to Neil working his magic to land one of them lol

    This team still lacks a second all-nba caliber player. So while getting into the playoffs would provide some nice "feels," losing a draft pick and at least a couple of our own pending free agents isn't going to help this team take the necessary leap forward it's going to need to eventually reach "contender" status. So again, not good.

    Whatever. With Houston faltering, it seems like it's a fifty-fifty proposition at this point. If they make it in I'll root for them to win of course, but unless Vonleh morphs into a bonafide star in a year or two, I wonder if we won't look back on this season and find it just a little bitter-sweet?

    Doubt it. Unless the unlikely event that a future all-nba player ends up getting drafted late in the lottery next year.

    You know, I'm all-in for the playoffs. I was with the narrative of getting a pick, but this is just too much fun. Lets just do it.

    I can't believe no one caught the misspelling in the original post. It should be "Warriors Die Nasty."

    I tried having a friend of mine hit me over the head with a ballpeen hammer, in hopes I would be dumbed down enough to understand the original message.


    I was mistaken

    I just asked a friend of mine to go to the 49er Forum that I was banned from, go to the Golden State Warriors thread, and post this picture:

    And tell them "Vladpryde sends his love from beyond the grave."

    I am ashamed to say: the 9ers REALLY DO have the whiniest fanbase in the NFL. If the Seahawks have the most classless, then we definitely have the whiniest.

    They run their forums JUST LIKE the Front Office runs that team: no accountability, no responsibility from the Moderators/Admins, and no consistency with enforcing the rules.

    Oh, and did I mention the LAWYERS for the Front Office are the ones who wrote the rules and TOS for the entire forum? Yeah.

    The friend I mentioned: he once posted a picture of a box of tissues in a thread during pre-season with the caption "it seems we're going to need a lot of these"; in reference to the tears that would be shed last season for all the losses that were sure to come with Tomsula running the show.

    What did the admins do? They thought he was posting a tissue box in reference to masturbation...and banned him for a week. No joke, I couldn't make that shit up if I tried.

    When I was finally banned, it was almost a relief. I made a lot of friends on that forum, but I HATED the way that fucking place was run. So I started up my own forum.

    Not making the playoffs would mean we don't even have ONE all-NBA caliber player.
