Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

Just wait until you see what we can turn Pat Connaughton into!

 

An MLB pitcher that we'll pay $10M a year to as a favor for the Baltimore Orioles?

 

Here is the thing. Most people on the forum are older. Okay cool. A lot of cool people here but also a lot of shitty ones who make dad jokes and wanna try and rain on your parade because you are younger. Just how it goes. Then the long time members will all gang up on an opinion they think is wrong and it becomes very social justice warrior like, just hopping on the bandwagon making a big deal of everything. It's just whatever. I saw how shitty you were treated last night and the mods don't give a shit. I have been through the same thing. Sometimes I never wanted to even come back to this forum after shit like that but I do because there are still a lot of cool people on here and I love the blazers so, is what it is I guess

 

"I'm actually really mellow"

 

It's even worse.
I don't get NBA TV so i download\stream games the next day, including all the away feeds and EVERY away broadcaster has the same fucking lines on Pat.

*Pat goes in*
-Me: "please don't talk about the baseball thing, please don't talk about the baseball thing, please don't talk about the baseball thing."
-Broadcaster: "So....... THIS GUY GOT A KILLER RIGHT HAND, Mark.
-Me: "fucking hell!"

 

Yeah, I agree with a lot of that.

I did respond to that thread a little harshly, so I understand why NateBishop got rubbed the wrong way. Still made things personal for no reason, which I don't understand.

 

Well lots all panic because of a hypothetical future then.

 

Just seems like he's responding to toy with the same amount of vitriol you came at him with.

One can be mellow and not take shit from people.

 

Well they pretty much bait you into getting at their level and then they go "hey man, why are you acting like that, that's not cool". It's fucking weird. It's crazy. That's one of the issues this forum has, if you haven't been a member for like 8-10 years, you're a "rookie". The whole thing is childish

 

I think it's excusable to talk all the shit you want after a bad deadline\draft.
It's not like we go around here writing SHIT! / FUCK! during every day of the year.

 

My question to you. How old are you?

 

He assumed I wasn't joking, which is pretty ironic.

I don't know him from a lamp post, so it's actually pretty funny to me how serious he took whatever I said.

 

Or maybe several of us old timers have been fans of the NBA longer and see the big picture a little better. Younger dudes tend to live in the now.
Now go away and GET OFF MY LAWN!

 

But if you talk shit even jokingly everybody around here freaks out. "you're a serial killer" OMG FREAK OUT AT OPINIONS

 

My point. It's that whole line of thinking that's dumb. "I have watched the NBA longer therefor I am superior in some sort of way attitude".
Not saying you do this but this is the feeling I get most of the time from people here

 

You were joking but the joke was so fucking stupid with no connection at all it made me go wait, what? oh so you think I was being serious so you're joke is a serial killer joke? okay sure. Don't quite no what a joke on here even is anymore because they are all out of place and when you make a joke that is relevant to the topic it's like omg you went too far. Meanwhile here you are out of left field with some lame joke. Good for you though

 

"I'm actually really mellow" is the type of thing a person with no self awareness (sometimes serial killer) would say, hence the joke. Sorry I had to explain that to you.

The fact that you're still going on about it? Not helping you, mellow man.
