    How am I being bitter? I am happy the team won. Are you? Minstrel = a clown of sorts, no?

    Nothing other than responding to your OT/Mod post directed at me in this thread. Or was I just supposed to not respond? Clue me in, ehizzy. :dunno:

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    By taking one jab after another at "mods" because I (and Ed O, maybe) dared criticize Outlaw.

    Very. Plus, it's always nice to be proven right, as I was. ;)

    Your avatar says "global moderator" under it, and a minstrel is a clown of sorts.


    Am I missing something here?

    that was also a nice pressure he made on Foye on that out of bounds play causing them to use their final TO with over 6 minutes left eh?

    I like how Nate had him guarding Foye and Telfair during the game. He often played well off them and doubling down hard on Jefferson but was still able to cover RF & STs jumpers and deny their drives.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I wasn't referring to your "clown town" remark, dear. I was aware that you don't know what a minstrel is (as you admit here) and were likely referring to that.

    I was referring to your remarks about how it couldn't have been a nice steal because "the mods" claim he doesn't play defense and "Amazing what it takes to be a moderator."

    Maybe I'm missing something...what does the moderator position have to do with basketball opinions?

    Yup. Outlaw has nice length and the tools to be a good defender. It's a shame he hasn't translated that into actually being a good defender. But he's definitely capable of a good defensive play here and there.

    Obviously there is no correlation or causation between being a "mod" and having valid basketball opinions. :lol:

    I do thank you for allowing me to express myself on a forum on which you have as much financial stake in as I do, however. ;)

    hahahahahhahah. who fucking cares? You got me. I did the math wrong, only thing is I have been drinking Margaritas since noon.

    I still win, you can talk about Phil Jackson and Sheed all you want but Sheed is on another level on his worst day. Oh wait, 99 percent of Earth thinks that Sheed could have been a HOF player by staying in the post.

    Sheed>LMA (for now).....The future is up to Aldridge, he can be a Dirk wannabe or an all star. His choice.
    ME>YOU (always, even when I am drunk as fuck)

    Since you have no idea that a game is a fluid thing and changes given what the circumstances are, I am just going to let this go and you can pretend that I am the petty one. :ghoti:

    No correlation or causation at all. Anyone may have a valid basketball opinion, moderator or not.

    You're the one who got bitter, not me. Apparently, how Outlaw is perceived is a burning issue in your life. Look at all the passive-aggressive posts you've directed at me for calling Outlaw a big plus on offense. :)

    Right. So we agree that I was nice to you. Why would you confuse that with being upset at you?

    thankfully those moments are coming a lot more frequently then they used to. I thought he was pretty darned good on D tonight and overall has been a step up from last year. He's still occasionally a bit of a baby giraffe, but more and more he's in the right position, active, and using his length. I doubt there have been many Blazers who have been assigned to guard each of the five positions at one time or another like he has. Certainly no one who is still being called a poor defender...

    Dear is a term a misogynist would use. Either that, or you are using it toward me as a term or endearment, and that is just weird.

    So which is it, Clown...errrr Minstrel?
