That's not entirely fair. It's kinda **** that people spoil things so I understand. Especially if you can't watch a show or movie right away. I'm not surprised that I'm spoiled but it's like .. damn.

No, it is only fair. I mean, you are trying to forbid people discussing Woj and Shams on a basketball forum, ffs. Let me be clear, I don't get kicks from spoiling, but man, your approach is less than ideal and I hope you realise. It is not that hard to buy a beer and popcorn and watch it on TV.

I am not trying to forbid anybody? There's literally two threads that are up lol.

If you have a problem with this, PM Howard Mass. Otherwise, just use the other thread that's up? It shouldn't be hard to ignore this thread for people that want to be spoiled. I myself am being spoiled.

Seriously, to each his own...just not sure what is forbidden-basically Woj bombs?

personally, i use twitter about 3 times a year. I wouldnt mind basketball discussion, but would rather watch the draft and see who is chosen, rather than get the first 5 selections before they are even made. if i wanted to know it all ahead of time, why even watch the draft? and i could go to the GB and get all the spoilers. but when i go to a thread that is described as a no-spoiler thread, why do people such as yourselves want to come in and do the opposite of what is expected?

i mean, why dont we just start 10 threads about OKC basketball right? who cares if this part is Orlando Magic when other people will talk about OKC?

oh, and my wife didnt want to know what were having, but still had to have the sonogram to make sure it was healthy. some people like a surprise. was a long few months with me knowing and her not

Without a thread like this, if you only want to learn the picks by watching the draft and not learning it before it's announced at the podium, your only option is to stay off your phone and just watch it by yourself or whoever is with you in person. That's great for some, but others may want to discuss it here on the boards as it's happening without the fear of Woj bombs and others posting tweets and leaks of the picks literally 30 seconds before it's announced because heaven forbid we wait 30 seconds, lol.

I wish the NBA would figure out a way to get picks on lockdown and prevent leaks, but that's not the way the world works. There's always some dude in the room who just HAS to let Woj know because it makes him feel important.

I'm 100% not interested in spoiling anybody's thread or surprise or telling anyone how to do their thing. I'm not on Twitter and am assuming that nobody but Woj and a small group of his ilk get the answers ahead of time. Woj will be on ESPN "spoiling" as many picks as he can, but usually just a couple of minutes beforehand...I don't understand where you can bury your head to watch the draft without spoilers..just NBA.com? Seriously, just trying to understand. It's news to me that I can get all of the answers beforehand-unless you're just talking about Woj's timely popups.

...so, somebody (Mod, I guess) will be making the announcements here as they happen and those enjoying this thread will limit their info to this thread to be limited to real-time official announcements?
