    That pretty much never happens here. If it's any kind of a story someone will make a thread about it.

    We absolutely shouldn't trade Ant.
    We absolutely need to improve our defense.
    We absolutely need to improve our rebounding.

    Unfortunately, these absolutes may be in conflict.

    More...
    Ant should absolutely start at the 2, next to Dame.
    Sharpe should absolutely start at the 2, next to Dame....

    It's not easy being a GM:

    I want it to be noted, that anything Whyachi says should not be used to take notes.

    This is what happens when Toys’R’Us sells crystal balls.

    Will completely own up to that. I misread a word in the post. No problem with admitting that. Still waiting for that same thing for all the times I've been mis-quoted.

    I want it noted that mayonnaise should never be put on hamburgers. It’s fucking disgusting.

    Not true. Unless it’s a trade or something major, it gets rolled into a mega thread. Brandon Miller coming to town? Rolled into the Brandon Miller thread. Scoot working out with Steph curry? Scoot mega thread. You have to potentially read through pages of posts to make sure you’re up to speed.

    He has the ball in his hands off every rebound, walks it up court, passes it to high post or wing, fakes a move and comes off screen and regains ball then starts his offense. That my friend is ball dominant. People think he is gone and hasn't even been to a WCS in 11 years, but I know it is his supporting cast of year of those 11 years. It is his backcourt mate every year of those 11 years. He is the most overhyped All-Star around. The fact you aren't seeing that is a bit concerning.

    It is hard for teammates to make open jumpers when they spend 80% of the possession watching him do his thing. Then if he can't shoot it, he kicks it out late in the clock forcing teammates to wake up and hit the shot under time pressure. People act like he is Chris Paul wit the ball setting up teammates. He is Harden. Add up their combined championships and let me know what that comes to. The fact you blame 11 different rosters and not Dame is ridiculous. But hey, it is your opinion to think that. At least I think that is what these boards are for.

    That post reminds me of something real funny at work. I started losing my hair in my late 20's. Never one to try to be anything I'm not....started shaving my head the next day. Got a coworker who is about 10 years younger than me used to nonstop crack on me about "not having hair" (as if that's something to judge somebody by)..... I used to crack back and say it happens to all of us FAMS. This dude is going bald and trying to hold on to every last scrap. I love it.
