    Everybody in this thread is acknowledging that it's too early. It's a message board, people are going to discuss about topics they are interested in. Frankly, when I see topics on here that I think are ridiculous/dumb I just abstain from commenting. Nobody is forcing you to say something.

    Sure I can. I was surprised the 1st time my daughter said, "I love you" because I wasn't expecting it. Just like I can be surprised when an NBA team does something in one game that I didn't expect. It doesn't mean that, that surprise will continue to happen, it just means in the 1st game or two something happened I didn't expect to happen.

    Thus the reason why we have the Around The NBA Thread.

    It's just this main page gets so god damn cramped with random threads man. This shit used to be dialed. I know,"Don't click on the link if you don't want to!"........ but you have too seriously wade through so much crap nowadays. Every time somebody gets a random ass thought they start a thread. A joke one every now and then is fine, but damn.

    Were you expecting the Clippers to look this good two games in? I've been surprised by that.

    You have to recognize that when you make several "joke" threads and then bump them that you lose the right to make serious comments like this though.

    You're refusing to believe that the Kings just aren't good, huh?

    Ok...but this thread will be a wonderful clearing house to hold several of the random-ass-thought threads that might pop up over the next 6 weeks. So, ya know, quit whining.

    No, they are so deep, I assumed they'd be good to go from day 1. I posted this opinion in the AROUND THE NBA THREAD if you want me to share the link FAMS!

    You recognize that is a pretty rare occurrence. VERY rare.

    All I know is the first Blazer game of the season had the front page clogged with two threads you created and bumped during the game. It just proves that when you do it it's fine but when other people do it it's clutter.

    Not at all. Some random guy made individual game threads for opening night instead of using the Around The NBA thread. Maybe that was what you were thinking of. I'll leave it at that. I randomly do it in response to moronically created random thoughts threads that are created, as a joke. I'll let this go. Let's just not be so lazy and fire up a thread that clogs this once finely tuned well oiled forum. And bumping a random as thread to keep it alive as a joke once a month is funny if you ask me.

    See this post to me just says "I'm @THE HCP so when I do it it's funny but other people are ruining the forum when they do it."
