    Woman... I do not think about Mo Williams while I am taking a shower. Who do you think I am, Kingspeed?

    which leads to the question, is Mo an actual citizen? (sarcasm intended)

    You figured it out. You're so smart. The creator of this test must be a GD genius.

    lol. I read it the first way too. But I only skimmed it until you reposted it which made me read it 10x trying to figure it out. Thanks PP, just what I wanted, to read that damn sentence over and over trying to figure it out. :)

    It's actually a really smart way to insult someone.... phrase it so that it could be interpreted in any number of ways. Plausibly deniability.

    Is it really that smart if it's so transparent?

    Not only could it be a smart way to insult someone . . . she probably has a dozen posters reading it over and over trying to figure it out. I'm going to go to bed tonight with "Nate, attention seeking troll, ass, hole, ground and basketball" embedded in my damn thoughts . . .

    Considering half the people thought it was an insult, and half did not, that's not quite so transparent.

    You could always rearrange them. "Nate seeking troll asshole attention to ground basketball..." Wait, who do I think he is, Kingspeed?

    I'm the guy who got bored watching the D league game and took exception to the criticism of Mo. I used LeBron as an example. I could've used Kobe, Steve Nash, or any number of scorers who turn the ball over more than Mo.. I see value in Mo's assist improvement and how he affects the tempo of the game. It was not a comparison of LeBron and Mo...it was an example of how great players take risks and sometimes that translates to turnovers. Yup, I usually cheer for the underdog in the discussion and always cheer for the guy who plays for Portland. I think Mo is a fantastic 6 man for this team. Is he the league MVP? nah...never even suggested that

    Blazer Fanatic is tough and attacks like a man, yet is not a manhater. She's so tough that you don't dare flirt. She is the only kind of woman who will survive on this board. As we saw a few months ago, the fawning type can't survive here. BF earns her pay. I'm sure she dislikes my critiquing players, but it's more important to me to have a woman on board.

    So treat her like a man and let the fights begin. I like her presence.

    And my point is that people overlook LeBron's turnovers because the dude is shooting just a hair under 60% from the field, is averaging 25, 6, and 7, and is probably going to take home the MVP again. I am less likely to overlook turnovers from Mo because he is shooting 40% from the field and he makes bad decisions with the ball. If he was shooting 60%, or even 46%, I would give a rats ass how many turnovers he was giving up.

    That wasn't a game, that was a floor full of heroes in action.
    McCollum was just another chucker among the many.

    Geez you give him pretty high priority. I only bitch about him when I see him play. When KGW or TNT have the game.
