:lol: Partner you're really taking this stuff seriously. I remember there were a couple of threads where you quoted me after we had our last run in where I told you I was done with you... and I'm sitting there thinking why in the F is this dude quoting me.. surely I made myself clear... and then it happened again. So I'm thinking maybe this is MP's way of extending an olive branch.. I never had a problem with you until just recently and I'm a forgiving person so I was like.. eh.. he must like talking basketball with me. :lol:

Now you want to question my manhood? :lol: You want to know what I've been doing all day and for the last 3 months? You want to know how much of a man I am?


Seriously? In the words of ibraheim718 this is funny to me. We can't talk basketball anymore because of this little tiff? Whatever. I don't think is going to hamper my realgm relationship with anyone who disagrees with me. God forbid a message forum that there's someone who doesn't agree with my on everything.

You painted me as someone who can't stay off your jock no?
Someone who makes passive aggressive bitchy posts.
Someone who takes this way to seriously.
Insert whatever else was used to back pedal.

I'm just saying it's funny because you simply can't answer ONE SIMPLE QUESTION. Just say you were mistaken or wrong at least. I mean we're talking about a single thread. That's what this is about, one simple thread that may or may not exist.


What was I wrong about? Ask me your questions in one simple unquoted post and I'll answer them for you.

Here are 3 different instances where I posted something and you quoted me trying to engage me in conversation after our last falling out where I told you that there really wasn't any reason for us to go back and forth anymore. 3 is good enough to say multiple to me.

This question wasn't posed to you.

Easily Doc, that's not even a close one. I actually prefer the cheap jersey and very nice quality over Pharm but it's hard to tell the difference because all their post are the same.

Actually I was impressed to see him play on a gimpy ankle for a whole half without rest. He showed me some character and heart.


I would like to think that playing against UNC is part of the reason he's in this game. This is one of the main reasons you go to play at UNC or Duke. This game is one of the better rivalries in college basketball and it's his only chance to ever play in it at Duke. Didn't see the second half, but I just turned it back on, he's still limping. Kudos to him if he made an impact in the second half.

Same here, but I think it's shame on people not to be able to make a list. I thought Id have to be defending my pick when I got home today, nevertheless that's not the case.


Now me saying you were jocking me is tongue in cheek... if saying that hit you hard.. I'm sorry. I'll be a little more sensitive with you because you're generally a nice guy. Although I'm still going to avoid any Towns V. Okafor debates and Boogie debates with you.

HAHAHAHHAHA that's being on your jock?
I was never even aware that you were done with me.

Kudos. Going forward I'll make sure you don't post in a thread first so I don't attempt to be following you. I'm sorry for the stalking, sometimes I usually don't know the line unless I'm getting pepper sprayed or the taser comes out. Feel free to send me the psychiatrist bill.

To all others I've ever quoted, I deeply apologize as I was unaware of my actions.
Good night.

Better question.. can I send you the weed bill?

But make no mistake.. the SEC isn't as good as the ACC. The rest of what was said were theatrics to entertain Shammgod. I don't see why you would take them as gospel.

D'Angelo Russell is so exciting. He's the kind of player you would pay to see. It would be nice to draft a sure thing for once...

Russell reminds me of Harden. He has great handles, that quick lefty release, and fills the stat sheet with assists and rebounds.

I honestly don't know who I would choose anymore. I keep flip flopping after seeing one of them play, seeing some new advanced stat, reading your guys' posts. I'm excited at the prospect of drafting any one of them tbh


Okafor and Russell can carry an offense on their own and to a lesser extent Mudiay if he was on a team with athletes that can run. We need someone that can do that should Melo go down or as his minutes decrease.. that's the way I look at it.. but I'd also be thrilled with Karl Towns also but drafting him would just make free agency that much more important.


I agree with your points here totally but we also need in a very bad way someone who can carry our defense maybe a lot more than someone to carry our offense. This is the reason I am intrigued with the thought of drafting Karl-Anthony Towns and why I am on the fence as to who between him and Jahlil Okafor should be the guy for us. I also have to admit that landing D'Angelo Russell would also be nice.

haden wasn't even close to russells level in college

harden was a legit slasher in college that played as a winger. i knew he was going to be a stud in the NBA but not at this level. its amazing how far hes come

this is why i see him as mix of harden/curry

russell doesnt look anything at all to be james hardens height. pretty crazy how he's 6'5" i dont see it :lol:

People are sleeping on Winslow, it looks like he was playing injured earlier on in the year. He's been playing well lately.

As for the Russell, Harden comps...Russell is no where near as strong as Harden is. Harden was also stronger in college. Curry is really the one that comes to mind for me right away.

Dudes act like this is a big man's game. It's not. This infatuition with Towns is ridiculous because this is a guard orientated league. We need guards that can penetrating and dish and look to score at the same time. Towns does alot of things well but his development is going to take longer than the guards that will be available. We're talking about 3-4 years. While a guard can contribute from day one.
If Russell and or Mudiay are as good as advertised. I'd take them way before I take a look at Towns. Obviously this is if Okafor isn't available.

Jahlil Okafor has 1 game remaining in his regular season...

In 29 games, he's averaging 18 and 9 on 66% shooting.

That's insane.

People are really glossing over his dominance on the offense to pick at his defense.

I don't think people understand just how good he is on the block.

Okafor is still #1 for me, I really want him on the team.
Would be ok if we got Rusell or Towns as a consolation prize tho.

This is still a big man's game. There's just no more great bigs but we all saw how much Dwight dominated just 4-5 years ago and he has a very basic post game. When Cousins had his head on straight he had the Kings winning and Davis is 2 years away from owning the league.

Trust me anyone that misses on Towns or Okafor will regret the decision for a long time (as good as Russell will be - proabably a superstar - they will be better).

Russell is no more a sure thing than anyone else is. If he was he'd be the consensus no.1 pick cause you have Okafors defensive concerns and Towns raw-ness.
