He's not trolling on purpose, he has Asperger's Syndrome I think. I don't mean that in an insulting way, I really think he does. I've known people with it before, and while most of them have different symptoms, he displays some of them.

Like obsessing over certain points and repeating them to death, not processing other people's words and just not really having the points sink in.

Engaging in one-sided, long-winded conversations, without noticing if the listener is listening or trying to change the subject

Showing an intense obsession with one or two specific, narrow subjects, such as baseball statistics, train schedules, weather or snakes

Having a hard time "reading" other people or understanding humor

Been reading this board for years and I've thought he has aspergers the whole time. Nothing else can explain his posts

Yeah I love how he said that Lou Williams locked down Aaron Brooks the night Brooks torched us for 34 points!

I don't have aspergers, or any other kind of mental disease for that matter. I understand what other people say and what they feel or think, but just because they have some other different saying or meaning or thought, doesn't mean that thought, saying, etc is correct.

He called a 15/5 player a roleplayer that scores off "garbage" buckets, that's a discredit to Thaddeus's game.

I don't think I engage in one-sided, long-winded conversations. When a conversation is started, I like to get the most out of it untill we're ready to move on. Or if the point hasn't been made, I feel the emphasis to make it.

Kolb has clearly not seen Thaddeus Young play. He called Thaddeus Young a "horrible" shooter, despite evidence to the contrary. And again I shall ask him: If Thaddeus is a terrible shooter,. then what is Iguodala, who for the most part was struggling to reach 42%?

I don't think I have an obsession with anything. Infact, I can get really passionate about one thing one moment and move on to the next thing. I'm rather indecisive.

Kolb: Stick to football, your BBIQ is also in question.

See that compare players thing? DO IT. Please.

Thad's 3pt percentage: 34%
Iguodala's 3pt percentage:31%

Oh wow. Any chance that it is a joke account?

Dedicated... I have got Thaddeus Young's back just like you do and I see your point to all of this. I am in no way ready to cast him out and I think it would be a major mistake to get rid of him for anything less than a quality big or another high draft pick.
I think what we need to look at is who fits and who doesn't at this point. The backcourt should be a no brainer with Holiday/Turner/Iguodala. The three of them are going to provide lock down defense on the perimeter. We are going to give opposing teams fits and we will also have three players in the backcourt that can guard the other teams best guards/small forwards. It's going to be a thing of beauty watching that.
Since Thaddeus Young is not a power forward it leaves us with quite a dilemma. Where does he fit? I don't think any of us are saying that Young isn't or can't be a good player that puts up 20 a game. It's just as of right now he's strictly a scoring forward that can't rebound, and can't defend. Two attributes that our next coach is going to be enforcing.
Where do you think he fits in all of this? I personally see him as a sixth man/instant offense player but the problem with that is that we already have four other chuckers coming off the bench in Williams, Green, Meeks, and Speights. We have no defenders and no rebounders, and no Junk yard dog type of players. Young could be moved to get us that type of player and it would balance our team out a lot more.

Asperger's Syndrome in full force tonight. Why do you keep bringing up Andre Iguodala? They're both terrible shooters! You act like I think Andre is a good shooter or something. Look at the chart. Thaddeus Young is terrible from mid-range. Terrible from beyond. And not even that good in the paint.

Thaddeus Young not good in the paint.....Yeah, that proves that you don't watch Thad play.

I guess that Marresse Speights kid by comparison is a stud inside, right?

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Thaddeus Young is good at taking the ball to the hoop, slashing, and I think his post game is actually one of his strengths that will improve.

[The Guilty Party]

Westbrook and Kobblehead....Use the ignore button.... if I see another post in which you are trying to determine whether or not someone has signs of autism.... there will be an immediate suspension and no tolerance for you after that.

If you want to talk hoops like an adult... then do it but I'm not about to ever allow the complete garbage you are posting to fly on this board.

[PhilasFinest]

I think we should have a thread stickied on te condition and anything else dedicated related.
This way we can read about coaching info rather than some nagging pests possible condition.

[Kobblehead]

My apologies. I knew we were out of line.

Coin toss win, ping balls fall the right way, and Doug Collins!?
