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

So it looks like 3 or 4 of the newest members on here find me offensive? When the other 3 or 4 hundred don't?

 

Way to put words in my mouth. Please show me where I ever said anything remotely like this in this, or any other, thread.

This is a game thread. I limited my comments to the game in question. I didn't extrapolate anything. I simply pointed out in this game thread that Myers had a better game than several other players who received a lot less criticism for their play in this game.

Don't underestimate yourself. We all find you offensive for one reason or another - mostly flatulence, back fat and excessive body hair.

GOD! Why is everyone so mean! I'm gonna cry....

 

I never said you were offensive. Never even thought it. I am one of the few, that has actually spoken up, and stated a concern. I honestly feel that things you say to new posters here, could run them off. That's it. I really shouldn't care. It's not my board. I do though. This is a great place. The world is a great place. My quote, and I wake up every morning thinking it> "The world is a beautiful place, and I am still here to see it...." Why not invite new posters in, and hear what they have to say?(like Sly does) My goal every day, is to make someone else feel better about themselves. Try it. Karma is a LOVELY bitch.....

BTW- I'm calling BS on the 3-400 new posters. I watch the main forum page, for new posters. I'd say 5 or less, in the last month. Just my uninformed guess though....

 

Do you have some sort of app on your phone that has LIVE cameras of my house like Big Brother?

 

It all started when I was a child.... my dad was drunk....errrrrr.....

 

Mine too...... And I'm a drunk.... Lol

 

But you realize none of the forum brass makes me stop, right? The number one rule on here is no insults and cracks on posters.......you know this right? If this was a real problem, I would have been banned years ago bro. Ain't happening. Get to know how things work around here and your eyes will be opened. #LightenUpFrancis

 

Here's what I've learned after 3 games:
1) We are a VERY good team. 2/3 of our players can play poorly, and we still can win.
2) We are a very Versatile team. We've played 3 teams with differing styles and have adapted well.
3) Our defense is still a work in progress. I think our defense will gel midseason, but that could be the homer in me....
4) ET is gonna need time to adjust. So far, it looks like he shouldn't be starting. That's OK, I think he fits in with Crabbe, especially as part of a "long" lineup.
5) Who of the 4 is gonna make #15? It's not obvious any of them will.
6) As opposed to last year, I actually like it when Vonleh is on the court - not sure if it'll happen much, but he's making his case.
7) Harkless is still awesome.

 

Yeah, I understand. Its the status quo. Do you like Mrs. HCP jokes? I don't. Even if I had been part of the 08 migration, and had known everyone for many years, I would NEVER post one. Out of respect to you.

That's all I'm asking- give the other new posters some respect. You can flame ME, all you want....

EDIT: (and flame @Chris Craig . He. Is. An. Ass.....)


LMAO....

 

It's true, the average NBA player salary right now is $5,050,957, but it's not that simple. That number includes 592 players currently under contract. At least 142 of those will be cut within the next 12 days. If you just look at the bottom 142 contracts, they are all less than $1 million for 2015-16, and 79 of them are NBA minimum contracts of $543,471, most of which are not fully guaranteed. Another 108 players (including C.J., Plumlee, Vonleh, Napier, etc.) are still on cheap rookie deals. Both of those factors skew the average salary lower than what it would be for players who aren't on rookie deals that will actually make an NBA roster.

I have no idea what the average salary will be for players that will actually make a 15-man roster, but it will be considerably higher than $5 million, but also significantly less than $10 million. Throw out the reasonably cheap rookie deals and $10 million per year (or $9.2 million this year for Meyers Leonard) might not be that far off for the average player on an NBA roster who isn't on a rookie deal.

Not saying Leonard is a bargain, but his contract is not out of line for players in similar situations (bench players who signed contract this summer). Hell, we have two other bench players who make considerably more in Crabbe and Turner.

No, but the NSA does.

And look, it would be really hard for me to have any animosity towards you. I saw your staff pic on the Blazer app, and it's really funny. GOOD ONE!

 

I don't care that I'm drowning everyone. He sucks, and he's still better than I ever thought he'd be

 

WTH??? Can't you guys see we're trying to have an OT discussion here??? Lol. Carry on....

 

See, now wasn't that easy? You're getting the hang of it. #BabySteps

 

Lol.

First off I was taught that respect isn't GIVEN, it's EARNED.
Secondly, It started off when some of the guys on here saw a video of me on the big screen with my wife. and a few pics I posted. She's hot, what can I say. I grew up around guys that all we did, was crack on each other. Football teams, on the hoop courts, while in the Army, wherever. So after me blasting on these geeks way back in the day, the only thing they had on me was to talk about hooking up with my wife. It's a long running joke that only a couple, including yourself obviously, have an issue with it.

It will take quite awhile, but you'll get me. You'll have to, I'm not changing.

 

Blasting on geeks sounds pretty kinky.
