This is the ultimate match-up of the postseason. Who would've thought we'd get Brothers v Foster this early?

I hate to play the 2nd language card...because, by this point, my english is as fluent as my german or russian...and disrupt the banter, but I'm not sure in which direction to fire back :lol:

Are you trying to say that Julius is such a defensive liability that he needs to go supernova to compensate for it? Or are trying to gloat about Bam?

IIRC the Knicks have yet to win a game that Brothers has worked this season...including Clevaland's 1 win against us in round 1.

You called Bam a bum and he had a great game in that game. You tried to change the subject with a silly example from Randle.

I prefer to give answers according to people's intelligence. I think this language is enough for you.

Foster is a hard ass for flopping and Brothers falls for every flop imaginable. It’s an interesting matchup.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

You called Bam a bum and he had a great game in that game. You tried to change the subject with a example from Randle.

I prefer to give answers according to people's intelligence. I think this language is enough for you.


My initial comment was about Randle doing a good job getting by Bam to get to the rim in game two...I had just re-watched his FGA's on NBA.com;

- You then quoted me trying to dismiss that as no big deal.
- To which I made a joke about Bam being a bum; since blowing by him was apparently no big deal.
- Then you waited until after game 3...when Bam played much better and Randle much worse...to post that tweet.
- So I replied with a joke about Julius needing to shoot better than Bam if we wanted to win.

That's why I wasn't sure whether you were referring to Randle or Bam with your "He's such a bad defender that making perfect shots fills his gaps" reply, or what your tone was with that comment.


Hopefully I've made things clear enough for posters of any intelligence :wink:

The Extender, Scott Foster, reffing tonight. I guess this is going 7 games unless Jimmy turns into Michael Jordan again.

Do you think I need to wait until the end of game 3? Actually, you took advantage of this and wrote it after the game that bam played badly.
Do you use derogatory language in most of your messages and call them jokes? I understand if it happens once or twice, but you do the same thing every time.

It's ironic that you talk about tone and other things.

You write such nonsense that even you think it is ridiculous and then you edit it :lol:

Seriously I cannot remember a single game where my Heat won a game with Foster officiating ... it must be years.


And with Jimmy's bum ankle, I am not optimistic of him turning into Jordan 2.0 tonight.
