Good work. Hopefully the GB mods take something away from this.

Yuri Vaultin is clearly a clown. I sent a PM to 3 admins and reported the following exchange:

Yuri Vaultin wrote:

He's the ultimate politician in that way, he can cover up being crap at his job just by spinning it well. OTOH Brian Burke, despite doing a way better job for the Leafs than BC has with the Raptors, justs annihilated by the media hype machine just because he's a huge dick to them :lol:

Way to deal with the actual article and avoid talking about someone (Jonas) that you've repeatedly gone out out of your way to label a bust. Can you admit the fact that Jonas is playing well?

Do you still feel that Scott Machado and Meyers Leonard are far better prospects?


I hope they respond to me, even though they do for maybe 1 out of every 15 posts I report. Mods who are immature enough to go out of their way to attack a poster out of the blue such as in the above post, or who treat those like KembaWalker inconsistently, frankly shouldn't be mods. Yuri is being such a massive hypocrite in the above post. He suspended/warned posters for derailing threads for as little as "this will go well", but then goes out of his way to bait/attack a poster with something that has nothing to do with that thread.

we want to be known as a fanbase that is intelligent, thoughtful and fun

Does that mean we are the fan base equivalent of fat girls?

Good knowing ya man. (jk)

I'm glad Howard at least mostly reinstated Kemba and advanced. Good to know we have some level of reason at the top here.

hey guys, i know this is the OT thread so i cant really use the phrase "lets get back on topic", but i would prefer this thread not turn into a place to bash and complain about the general board.

thanks

So I wake up and turn on the TV and what do I see? Marcus Lattimore being carted off the field. :(

Don't look for videos of the injury, you don't want to see it.

Pissed off today. First the Lattimore injury, then my USC internet went down for the first ten minutes of my fantasy league draft, causing yahoo to auto-draft me Al Jefferson 10th. Over the likes of Rondo, Kevin, Blake Griffin, etc. :x

I would have taken Rondo and Blake over him any day.

I did get Ben Gordon with the 190th pick, so all is OK. :lol:

Jefferson adds pretty much the same points and rebounds with significantly more blocks and FT%. Rondo means you punt the FT% and whatever 3PT categories you have and don't add much in the form of scoring.


You might not like it now, but you got a great starting pick

Big Al is much more valuable than Griffin in Fantasy. You get to have decent FT% and blocks with Big Al while still matching Griffin with FG%, points, and rebounds.
