    Not really. King traveled to support his team, not understanding why people would give him shit for that.

    I'm not a working actor. I had about $0 in my account after I paid for this trip. Then got a residual check so I get by.

    I didn't drop it like it was nothing. I dropped it like it was everything.

    I dont think anyone one was giving him shit for traveling to support the team???

    Its not owning up to a gurantee that didnt pan out and then coming into the thread and twisting it into a “bones was wrong yet again” statement.
    I have huge respect for kings fandom aNd believe him to be one of the biggest fans i know.

    Doesnt change how his one sentance statement read as taking zero ownership for his prediction and instead deflecting inaccuracies onto another member.
    You do see that, right?

    No big deal but im gonna point it out as i see it.

    Again if that isnt what he was doing, lol. Then i apologize, but it sure reads like thats what he was doing.

    Look you can't really hold him to that guarentee...it was just him being a fan and trying to lift morale. He had no control over the Blazers actually winning or losing. He probably should have stated all this after the loss yesterday and offered an apology, but whatever. Im not going to hold a grudge

    Mods, this thread should be stickied until next November. It'd be kind of like an electric pillory.

    Never said ban. Just said it's his only warning. I have no reason to ban @KingSpeed . Those were implications some have made, which was partly my fault for not laying it out word for word.

    Doesn't come across as that. Then again, it's the internet. Anyway, I stand by my statement.

    And again, for the record since there are people that thought I was going to ban you, that was never in the equation.

    I will never allow Strenuus to enjoy the pure bliss of banning someone. That is only for me.

    What does King have to "admit" though? He "believed harder" and "guaranteed" something anyone with two brain cells knows he had no control over. Including him. His "guarantee" was the hyperbole of a die hard fan. What's he supposed to say? "Hey Everyone. In case you didn't know, the Blazers didn't win one of the games in New Orleans. So my prediction about something I had no control over didn't happen. Sorry I failed you?"

    King should have ripped off all of his clothes and ran down on to the court.

    First I am not the one that assumed ban. Second, I not sure what "only warning" accomplishes. That means there is something more than a warning next time? What would that be? Third even those who break the cardinal rule in here get many more than only 1 warning. Fourth, there have been plenty of bets in here. I have paid @SlyPokerDog 120 bucks on a lost bet before. Bets aren't against any rules. Once again, I not a mod so take this with a grain of salt but I think the whole post was better left unwritten, in any form.

    Edit: Actually it was 200 bucks! Ouch.

    If you dropped 1500 like it was "everything", then you handle your money really badly. If 1500 was everything to me, the last thing i'd do is go follow an NBA team around for a bit. Now if I had residuals coming in...

    If I had made that guarantee, I would have eaten crow and gave an apology or statement to that affect.
