Is there any reason you can't seem to understand that they have far more information than you, that what they gather and are able to use is on a entirely different realm of information, as was shown to you at least once here in the last couple weeks, and that they interpret data on an entirely different level than you do... which is to say they are elite at it and you don't even look at it.

Which predictions have I made that fell short?

My predictions for crypto, stocks pre/post COVID made me bank. This is my leisurely time educating sheeply goofs on how and when to question the status quo.

Sure ban me from RealGM there's plenty of great forums on the internet.

I'm telling you your hero NN is another goof with nerdy shades on. It got you so shook you're starting a cyber cabal against me. I love it.

Dude it took no special skills or knowledge to make money this year. If you had any money in the stock market chances are you made money. And I'm not sure how that translates to basketball knowledge lol


LOL. Stocks at all time highs all over the place. This guy is bragging he bought an index fund.

This is such a terrible take its not even funny. You know they gave Doc Rivers Kawhi and PG...they choked a 3-1 lead.

So your point is completely false.


You are wrong. If Doc Rivers was coaching the 2018-2019 Raptors team, he would of won it all too!

As overrated as it gets? How does a coach only have one English cup title? That’s weak 3/10’ would not want as coach or gf

I think he's done a pretty bad job this season despite the garbage roster.

Its almost impossible to have lost money last year in the stock market. even if you invest in something like ARK funds they jumped big time due to having large holdings in Tesla.

If you are good at predicting things then why are you worrying?
You already know the future, dr strange style.

It's up to the mods and admin to ban you, not me.

LOL @ cyber cabal.

Stop deflecting with non-basketball stuff as arguments.

Yeah. Making a prediction and predicting the future is the same thing. You are aware how stats work yes?

For example the moron Mayor Ford isn't enacting a curfew. This means there will be more contact being made after 8pm.

Closing liquor at 8pm reduces the amount of sloshed goofs on the streets.

Would those bring down transmission?

Did you just predict the future?

Maybe I'm more Professor Xavier than Dr. Strange :lol: or maybe the problem lies within you.

Why don't the mods give warnings for terrible threads?

Seems like a fixable issue with a little courage.

This thread reminds too much of Aron Baynes in the starting line up.

Lasted way too long.

What's your definition of not overrated? A coach that can win regardless of the situation and roster? That's just silly.

I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt as there are plenty of coaches that would not have won the championship with the roster that we had in the year that we won.

At the very least he deserves credit for being a coach capable of winning a championship.

There's not many of them and those that have ALWAYS had some of the best talent to coach. There is a correlation here.

Plenty here are letting their emotions speak in place of reality. You can nit-pick at every coaches, even Jackson and Popovich, if you look for it.

Here we are talking about rotations starting Baynes over Len/Boucher as a reason he's overrated. Perennial allstar future hall of famer Norman Powell's place in the rotation as NN being overrated. Fckn stupidity at its finest!
