Game Thread PRESEASON GAME # 3: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - OCTOBER 11, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), NBATV

You are offended because I didn't type your name and said The Guy? Ok.
Me disagreeing with you and how you feel about your team should not ever be taken as me "shitting on the fans" Thats just flat out stupid bro. I gave my opinion and you got all sad about it. Please show us all when I "shit on you". Please show me where I said our bench "sucks". We are one of the deeper teams in the league in my opinion.
You do realize you are the only person who is crying bout me right? The only others in the past who have (probably 2 or 3) are no longer on this forum. So maybe it's you few and not me that have issues. I'm not on here to make friends. I'm paid by Denny to come on here and be the forum bully and stir stuff up, just ask.
Every few years one of you emotional types come on here and get all sad about The HCP and how he treats people. Then they go away and my rep goes up. I used to get called out for being a homer and not being real! Stick around long enough and you'll see. I was cool and popular growing up, throughout school and now as an adult..... so it's pretty safe to say I AM the cool kid on this block. By how much money I make from this site, it's safe to say I'm the forum MVP.

 

I've never seen a block that's only 3 feet in diameter...that's awesome!

 

Whoa!

Shit just got REAL.

 

Zags, let this kid know how we do things here. I miss you by the way!

 

Quality crack right there Kool-Aid Man!

 

God damn dude Im just saying what I fuckin saw in the actual game plus you know that funny thing called history. Youre responding to every bit of meyers criticism taking some shared loathing of his basketball skill as a personal slight.

Come down out of the boards collective asshole if you please sir.

 

HCP making folks cry haha

 

I saw the game, too. Obviously I saw it differently.

Yeah the guy has his faults. I get that, and I see them. But I sure didn't see Mozgov, Black or Yi DESTROYING him and I provided evidence to back that up (11/6 for Meyers in 20 minutes, 9/4 for Black, Mozgov and Yi combined during those same 20 minutes).

Perhaps that history you refer to has instilled a negative bias that causes you to see things as worse than they actually are - to focus on the negative and overlook the positive as it doesn't fit your agenda.

Again, 11/6 in 20 minutes is equivalent to 19.8/10.8 in 36 minutes. How is that terrible production for a bench player, especially when he outproduced the guys he was guarding?

One game doesn't a trend make, but this is a game thread and Meyers didn't play all that bad last night. As I said, there were others that played MUCH worse. Yet they don't get nearly the same level of criticism as Meyers Leonard. I just don't get the hate.

BNM

 

I hate it when people jump on the bandwagon, and say "yeah, me too!" However, I'll make an exception this time. Coming from a "rook" point of view, Obrien nailed it. Period. That's GREAT if Denny pays you the big bucks. I'm happy for you. Seriously. I would imagine it's to make the place more interesting. More fun, the good natured heated debated. It's not my board, and not my business, but I have to wonder how many newbs you've run off. I know of one for sure, just in the 2 months since I've been here. How many "guest" lurkers read the stuff you post to rooks, and just said F it, and run off without signing up? Don't get me wrong- I really regret missing the last meet and greet. It would have been cool to meet you. See the behind the scene stuff you do. I cringe every time you tell a newbie to shut up though. Its old. Just like the Mrs. HCP jokes. I have never posted one, and I think I liked MAYBE one post(because another aspect of the post made it funny). I don't do that, because I feel that would be disrespectful towards you.

It should be obvious by now, that I'm not saying this for me. I really don't care what you aim my way in the future. I like almost everyone in here (except for @Chris Craig . He. is. an. as..... Lol. J/K dude), and I will continue to post. How about cutting some of those other rooks some slack? They could bring in fresh, new ideas, and grow the board even bigger. Just an idea....

 

HEY ROOK, didn't you read this???

Lol. Just kidding everyone......

 

I saw him get pushed around, miss rotations, shy from contact, and generally play the exact same madening way he always had, nothing has changed. Difference between AC and Meyers AC has been successful for an entire season so there is less reason to worry about one preseason game, Meyers on the other hand has not done any sort of thing close to that, so its easy to pick on him when you see the same crap defense over and over and over again. I was pulling for the guy last night cause I felt bad but I saw the same guy I always saw out there and I havent been impressed yet.

but go ahead take 20 mins in a preseason game against the lakers no less and extrapolate it into an allstar if that'll make you feel better still wont make people like him as a ball player.

 

FTFY

(I was just trying to get back at you for saying I was hilarious. That baby flew WAY over my head at first.....)

 

Made your girl cry the other night..... told The HCP can't hook up anymore. Too much respect for you.

 

Thanks man, and you do have a pretty good sense of humor

F'n WHATEVER! I fell for that once....

(My bad in the reply links. I really screwed them up. 4601 more posts, and I'll be good.)

 

The average NBA salary in general is 5 million, so no, 10 million is not the average salary for a bench player.

But pull more figures out of your arse.
