    Post of the day was fun, I got picked a couple of times too. Those of mine that go picked tended to be very constructive criticism of general things about the team. Like, "Why aren't we running the pick and roll more with Roy and Aldridge?" type of shit. I remember the first time I got picked I thought it was cool. The second time someone, I think one of the staff or mods or whatever congratulated me. That was funny.

    I like this site because it's less hostile but the format took getting used to for me. How long has it been since the O Live exodus?

    In all seriousness, I'm sure two of the guys who were saying I was a fake account trolling the board were "hoopjock" or "hoopsjock" and "hoopguru" or "hoopsguru." Now there are guys here with those handles but they don't seem anything like the guys I remember using those names on Oregon live.

    I know one of my posts of the day was an analysis of the draft picks and how they fit in. Then these posters came out of the woodwork saying it was too optimistic and blasting the site for picking a poster who was new ... I'd been posting there for at least 2-3 years. I guess I wasn't memorable, or everyone H3P'd me or whatever that poster's name is here that everyone has on ignore ....

    "KD's Burner" would be a great handle.

    It's the fault of all the different people using my account and sometimes I forget which account I'm posting under.

    You know, there are three people on the internet, and I am all three.

    I have a friend of mine who occasionally posts on here under my name. It's usually when my posts make sense, and are well thought out.






    *Edit* I just asked my friend and he said he's never posted under my account.

    I guess he has a cat also? Not sure what to think about that?

    Do your friend and you happen to share the same physical body?

    One thing that stands out to me is all the centers on that list. 5 of them and all are all overrated.

    The thing that stands out most to me in the report is "Bleacher Report"

    Count 8 that shouldn't be on the list, AT ALL! Thompson, due to injuries is borderline IMO. Looks like whoever did this prediction needs to be sent to the Pines.

    2,3, 5, 7,16,17,18.19. all seem way off. Is the guy hoping he will hit on one and be called a genius?
