    Its really not serious, I just never saw a single person explain their opinion on why the hot take (which I thought was bad too) was so bad. Which is why I responded the way I did...

    Thanks for your serious and thoughtful consideration of my thoughts, not.

    I didnt mean it that way, and I dont really see it, but I apologize if it came across that way.

    And yes, to say in effect, to another person, your opinion is so ridiculous that I laughed out loud, is rude and unnecessary. I guess our society is so used to being rude to each other that we don't even notice it.

    I responded directly to you. How much should I contemplate what you say? I simply don't have the same viewpoint.

    See, I get how you could think this, but I think it's a little dramatic (sorry...?), and not personal. Thinking annother opinion is funny isn't any of that.

    Personally, I'd bring in a different coach before shipping out Nurk.

    HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF MISOGYNISTS. JUST BECAUSE THE TITLE OF THE THREAD SAID LADIES DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ACT LIKE YOUR MISGUIDED STEROTYPICAL IDEA OF HOW WOMEN TALK TO EACH OTHER.

    In my opinion if you start a thread with a hot take that is incredibly stupid, then you deserve to have people call you out on it being stupid.

    If you're gonna post a thought, back up why it's a good idea. This is basically the equivalent of someone in a Milwaukee Bucks forum saying that the Bucks should bench Middleton and start DiVencenzo.

    If you watch the games I don't think there is any possible way to pinpoint Nurk starting over Collins as an issue right now. If you don't watch the games and only look at stats then it is even more crystal clear that Nurk is playing better. The only conclusion is to assume that the OP is trolling or ignorant (or both) in this case and I don't feel bad at all for saying so.

    Its not even that hard to defend his question.
    Just about everyone believes the Blazers arent contenders. Many people even people saying how “whatever” this idea is, have said Zach is the future of the Blazers at Center, that its not Nurkic. Ive heard many of you guys say Zach is the perfect 5 for todays game. The insinuation has been that Nurkic is a stop gap. He didnt say go get rid of Nurk tomorrow, he asked when.

    Swish! Chris, KS and I were ALL yelling to put Meyers in. It was silly for him not to be in there!! We all cheered loudly when he was finally put in. It was a good matchup for him.

    Though, we'd of still lost the game anyway. But we still wanted him in from the 1st quarter on! Bad decision by Stotts.

    Sly declared "if you like it you should have put a ring on it!" He woke up in Bangkok with 2 pierced nipples and a Prince Albert. :blink:

    His question was after a hot take that "Nurk has to go." You're having to insinuate what he meant by that in order to defend his post. This is my problem with it. The OP posts a lot in a specific way to get people to react to it. You don't know all the history between the posters or what has been said in the past to warrant responses. In the O-Live forum you can't tell me that if Cup posted something you didn't like you wouldn't respond differently than if a new poster said something.

    Nurk has been fantastic this season so far. He deserves more respect right now than for people to "insuate" he's a stop gap or that he needs to go. Nurk is also young enough to where he isn't just a temporary replacement.

    Did I argue with Cup on the o-live forum?

    Anyways I get it. Not gonna drag it out anymore than it already has been. Nurkic isnt going anywhere any time soon, and my opinion on the topic at hand is, we still need to see more from Collins to decide if he’s the “future” or not. He has definitely shown some flashes, and his defense is solid.
    I think the best case for the Blazers is one of two things, they can use Zach in a trade package for a “allstar-esque” type player, or he ends up coming into his own at some point.

    Would I trade Nurkic? Not for a while, he’s young and playing well. I even wonder at times why they dont use him more.
