    I remember a lot of posters wanting Biyombo drafted for his "upside". He'll never have any offensive game, yet look at Leonard, who has a nice outside shot, can shoot FTs, and is a dunking machine.

    Then the draft guru Blaze01 goes onto say that he'd rather take O'Quinn, Fab Melo, Sims and a guy named Watt over Leonard.

    No, its simple really. Don't expect to smother people with an unfounded opinion and you don't have to worry about people calling you on your shit.

    Leonard could become a good center in this league. I've always said that. We might not even need to go after a 5 in the offseason.

    Nothing is simple with you, apparently. I'm talking about this thread and this thread only. I find it highly amusing that people think it matters who backed who in the draft, as if the whole thing wasn't a guessing game even for the GMs involved.

    You take a couple year layoff from the board and expect to know whats going on around here? Blaze01 went on a drunken tirade the night of the draft throwing a hissy fit about how we fucked up. It was a meltdown of epic proportions. If he could own up to the fact that he was so blatantly wrong he probably wouldn't still get as much shit about the whole thing.

    It isn't a lie, you just need reading comprehension....

    You take shit out of context and then you blast people for it....

    Like your opinion on Westbrook, Morrison or Noah? Hypocrite?

    Now see, I find it amusing that you remember that episode this much later. Who cares if Blaze01 was totally wrong about Lillard on the night of the draft? Who cares if he won't admit it now? There are so many varying opinions floating around this board at any one time that it's impossible to keep track of them all.

    lol, you don't remember shit about my takes on those guys except for Morrison. That was 7 years ago and I owned up to that a long time ago. I didn't take ridiculous strong stands on Noah and Westbrook and go on a tirade on draft night like you.

    Thanks for playing though. There's no reading comprehension to be had, you said you'd rather take Teague at 6, therefor, you thought he'd be a better NBA player.

    Just live up to it.

    ML will eventually be the best active true center in the league.

    I never said Teague at #6, can you fucking read?

    http://sportstwo.com/threads/215130...t-big-boards?p=2804188&viewfull=1#post2804188

    How much of a fucking loser do you have to be to bring shit up repeatedly 9 months after the fact? Obsess much? What are you 11 years old? Seriously, stop with the obsession, you have to be one of the biggest fucking dickheads I have ever seen. Lucky for you you can hide behind your keyboard....

    This sounds like a Mt. Tabor meeting waiting to happen. Just remember to prove you were there by taking a picture of a squirrel.

    Oh it's an old Oregon live forum thingy. There was two posters ranting at each other until one finally said; "You wouldn't say that to my face!" And the other said they would. He said to meet at Mr. Tabor and fight. One said they showed up and the other said they did too. One had proof he was there cause he had a picture of a squirrel at the park.

    It was really funny!
