    HoopsJock is a millennial?

    Damn, I thought he was 40-something!

    Maybe you just weren't clear, that's fine. But I can read just fine, and I've been nothing but polite with you, so there's no need to insult my reading ability.

    Was not meant as an insult. Just go read the thread and all those questions are there. There is no lost meaning in any part of the conversation. No hidden jabs. No slight of hand. Take the words for what they are worth and read it.

    And I keep coming back to "As fans, we don't know who's "realistic" and "not realistic"", and the argument of "yeah, we do know, based off our salary situation and his contract/team situation" which you agree with.

    Okay, so I changed the We are fans to I am a fan. That still doesn't explain the first sentence that "we really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic""

    You keep questioning our reading skills but this is the exact quote we've been discussing and you keep saying we aren't reading it right.

    I guess his point might be "I don't know who's "realistic" or "not realistic" because I am a fan"... And then we went on some rant saying that me and you aren't included in that because we think we're "more than that"...

    That's my guess as to what he's saying, which makes even less sense than his initial comment, and sounds like a dig at us for no reason... I don't know, I'm done with this...:biglaugh:

    I guess my point is "I" really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic". I am a fan. "I" watch games and try to be entertained.

    There does that help?

    Yet you explained why he was an unrealistic option, but I digress.

    Maybe you should be clearer instead of ranting about corporate espionage, the Moda Center, community playgrounds, etc.

    That is why i said like a thousand times now " I AGREED WITH YOU!"

    You guys just don't have anything better to do than try to find someone to argue with? C'mon man.

    I AGREED WITH YOU!

    The corporate espionage is because hoops was all I'm a Detroit Pistons insider. Well but again you didn't really read it and missed the entire point.

    I've already said that, I'm just trying to point out how you came off as contradictory. If you don't see it, fine.. but you really weren't clear about anything and then when I tried to understand what you were trying to say, you said it was because I don't read well (probably because I'm a millennial). Literally been trying to understand you this whole time and point out where you were confusing, but that's all I can do. This will be my last post on this.

    @kjironman1 You just ranted how we think we're better than everyone else but now changing a few words in your post is supposed to excuse that? That's ridiculous.

    I specifically took the time to prove my stance that it is indeed unrealistic and you came back that those were assumptions. You're explanation as to why you thought that way was off base and I explained why. Then you tried saying that you never disagreed with me to begin with.

    After all that you then try to act like you are enlightened to the true NBA since you work for Kenny Carr and that we will likely never to be able to convince you we're more than just fans. Not that I care but I did logically prove my stance, just like I did with Blake Griffin 2 years ago.
