    People with podcasts and websites are highly successful.

    You’re fucking crazy bro.
    You used to be able to come on here and just talk trash and hoops.
    Now EVERYONE is a god damn insider. An expert on the game and all its intricacies. There aren’t opinions anymore. It’s people yelling at eachother how wrong they are and how THEY have sources that others don’t. I’ve got a show now so that means I’m right and you’re wrong. Fuck outta here.
    Everybody is reading the same tweets and claim they know shit.
    Can’t just come in here and enjoy it anymore really.
    Now if you don’t claim to have a masters in analytics you don’t know anything.

    Only thing you learned from me is to look at this and realize it’s a game and to enjoy having some fun on here.

    Think real hard, shouldn’t I be the one who takes this shit serious. It’s paying my mortgage, paying for two cars and helping out my kids get through college.

    These clowns who claim they know shit the rest of us don’t, not sure what’s worse, them saying that or people on here believing them.

    Ha! Shit even I had a podcast during the lockdown. Doesn’t mean shit….. hell I had show on NBA.com for two seasons before podcasts were a thing. If THAT doesn’t take all credibility away from that, nothing will.

    Apparently any time I post something these days my fans are going to bring up my fun little podcast. I'm really humbled by all the support.

    Who the hell is even acting like their podcast is important? I'm doing it for fun with TBpup. I never claimed to be an insider. You guys are hilarious.

    It's really not that hard to start one. You should do it since you clearly love podcasts so much!

    Rowdy Roddy Piper was a genius. Armed with nothing more than a kilt, a bagpipe, and an arsenal of catchphrases, he had the ability to make an entire arena explode with laughter and excitement. And all the while, he managed to treat the hardworking locker room staff with the utmost care. Roddy Piper saw the value in every individual, from the janitor sweeping the floors to the sandwich artist crafting his post-match feast.

    With a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin, Piper would regale the staff with outrageous tales of his wrestling adventures. He'd spin yarns about defeating imaginary opponents with one hand tied behind his back or outwitting a villainous manager with a rubber chicken. And the best part? He'd make it sound so convincing that you'd find yourself questioning reality and contemplating the possibility of a rubber chicken revolution.

    But Piper's genius wasn't limited to storytelling. He had an uncanny ability to turn even the most mundane tasks into sidesplitting comedy routines. Need your boots shined? Well, Roddy would transform the act into a full-blown slapstick spectacle, complete with exaggerated gestures and a pantomime of epic proportions. And trust me, the locker room staff never had a dull moment with him around.

    But perhaps the greatest testament to Piper's genius was his knack for defusing tense situations with humor. Wrestling can be a high-pressure environment, filled with testosterone-fueled clashes and bruised egos. Yet, whenever tensions ran high, Roddy would swoop in like a kilted guardian angel, armed with a witty quip and a playful smile. "Hey, fellas, let's settle this in a dance-off!" he'd suggest, twirling around the room like a Scottish tornado. And just like that, fists would unclench, scowls would turn into laughter, and the locker room would transform into a raucous dance party, complete with a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Oh, the power of a well-timed joke and a pair of nimble feet!

    Why do you care man? All I did was post a link to an article and quote part of the article. I didn't share an opinion. I didn't say a fucking word. And you and this dude start lighting me up. You think I'm the asshole for that?

    I heard from a member of the janitorial staff that John put in a request to work in Miami and it hasn't been granted so he's been a little pissy lately.

    I only lit you up because you were being rude. You don't have to put others down to up your own self-esteem, dude. That's makes you come across like an asshole.

    And the proper way is to quote the article so it doesn't look like it's coming from you, fyi. I never said it came from you. You posted it so I responded where I thought it was wrong and you took it personal like you do everything.

    You responded to a post where I did nothing but quote an article. So yes, rude is responded to in kind.

    I literally said nothing in my post and you went on to make all these assumptions about me defending Cronin.

    I think it's worse when people ONLY post about "this place" and other posters.

    Most of us at least try to talk about the Blazaers and the NBA.

    Why did you post if you didn't want anyone to respond? Maybe you should let us on the board know if you don't want people to respond to your posts. It would be easier that way.

    You've defended Cronin's abysmal trades in the past. Why did you not think there was context?
