Sorta off topic/The tool named Bianchi 

Post#1 » by sChOlaRlY_Magi » Wed Feb 27, 2008 9:42 pm

I'm not sure if it's just me, but has anyone noticed this guys "basketblog" lately???

It's like someone gave him permission to add a pic to his blog and he went absolutely insane!

The Magic have had a lot of rotten luck the past few years --- need we have to alert CSI and review the Grant Hill Medical Files?

http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/i ... 0&ei=UTF-8


I mean, the last few blogs that he has had you get the impression that he is a huge pictionary fan or something. I found it hard to read before just when it was him writing, but now... I just feel like I would rather have my eyes rolled down a mile of broken glass then dropped in a cup of boiling saltwater than have to read his tripe blog nowadays....


Not to mention that he has seemed to have an even more overt negativity concerning the Magic, even when he is praising them.

This-
Knock On Wood: Health Key To Magic Season
really irritated me because not only did he talk about something that most players and fans dont want to talk about until the season is over... He made fun of the thought that he is cursing the Magic by even writing this; AND THERE WAS A STUPID FREAKIN PICTURE EVERY 2-3 SENTENCES!!!

Maybe I'm overreacting; the guy never really bothered me that much before I came to this board and had the fortune of learning about Denton.

It just seems after reading Denton's stories, going back to the sentinel (which was old reliable when it came to the Magic for me) and seeing pictures accompanying his pseudo-worthles ideas I end up feeling like he's insulting my intellegence or maybe just showing his.

Maybe it's just me...

Has this struck a nerve with anybody else?

I appreciate his willingness to perform in my musical, but aside from that, I don't care for him at all.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

It's like reading a pre-school book or something written by Barney.

Bianchi does not bother me.

I noticed the same thing this morning and it drove me nuts too!

He's trying so hard to be clever....poor guy.

Train of thought:

"Oooh I just got a great idea for a CSI reference. I am so sexy. A pic of the cast of CSI would make me SVG sexy. *click* *click*"

I was talking to my buddy today that works for the sentinel and he said that everyone thinks Bianchi is a tool.

He will offer a bunch of people tickets that he gets in the box but no one goes because they don't want to spend the whole night with the guy


I can't stand him or his horrible column

but the blog you speak of is Schmitz and I can't stand him either

Bianchi is an idiot, i don't listen to anything he says positive or negative. He has most of his stats wrong, and you can tell he just reads over the recaps of games and checks their stat lines, then writes his story. He writes about the magic jue because its his job, so i take nothing he says with any validity.
Whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T, you're right.
