OFFICIAL Around The NBA Thread...... August

You sure he is not just very excited to see you, you sexy beast?

 

When its pro Blazers its pro Blazers

 

Wasn't trying to prove anything.

 

I would like to compliment you on spelling ridiculous correctly.

 

Is that the correct spelling? Or are you being sarcastic? Normally I spell it wrong I think.

 

Did you regularly watch Gonzaga? Because as someone who did, I didn't see what you're talking about. A lot of time he barely had any room to work with compared to what he'll have in the NBA.

 

You sure that already didn't happen 2 years ago?

 

No, I didn't. I utilized the Google machine and considering he only made 135 shots total in college, I figure I saw most of them. So you're saying he's got sweet post moves that the highlight reel does not reveal? Like secret moves? I like his baby hooks and that drop step, but watch for yourself: millimeters. Guys just stand there with their hands up. Regardless, strength might change this and make up for his lack of explosiveness. But if Summer League revealed anything, it's that it'll be a while. I hope not though, and he'll get his chances, so we'll see.

 

The fact that you didn't reference his up and under means you definitely missed a few.

 

Okay. Let me add a modifier: if somehow Zach Collins figures out a way to average 14+ (inefficient or not) a game, we are a lottery team.

 

Millimeters!

 

Sorry about your mother. That's awful.

He's pulling your shtick on you. You've chilled out a bunch lately, but you used to make fun of people for complaining about your shtick, and now it's all reversed.

 

Yes, that’s the correct spelling. If it helps you to remember it, the root word is ridicule.

 

Ah, thanks for enlightening me.

 

I usually don’t make mention of spelling and grammar errors because we all make them, and who gives a rip in a forum like this. But, since you asked...

The common error around here that bugs me most though is the use of the non-word “prolly”. People use it when they mean “probably “. I guess it’s just a case of writing it the way they hear it. Again, thinking about the root word, “probable”, would help to get it right.

Okay, I’m climbing down from my soapbox now.

 

Bro, it's soap box!

 

Nice try, but no:

You “prolly” never built a Soapbox Derby car.

 

I refuse to click on your link, but I remember making those cars when I was a Cub Scout.

 

Those were Pinewood Derby cars.

Damn! You really did go to Grant, didn’t you?
