Refs just suck in general.

[_GH0ST_]

My initial comment was about Randle doing a good job getting by Bam to get to the rim.

- You then quoted me trying to dismiss that as no big deal.
- So, 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.
- To which I replied with a joke about Julius needing to shoot better than Bam if we wanted to win.

So 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.

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

I wasn't trying to imply anything, so I have no opinion about whether you need to wait until after game 3 or not. I was just relaying the order of events from my perspective in an attempt to clarify why I struggled to parse your post. And I didn't make my inital comment to take advantage of the timing in some silly argument...I'm enjoying this run far too much to care about scoring e-points.

I wrote it because I had just rewatched Randle's FGA from his first game of the series and wanted to discuss what I had noticed...that although his outside shot wasn't falling, he had success attacking the hoop; even when Bam defended him...with other basketball fans because my friend who I usually talk basketball with is busy being pregnant and too mad at the Bulls.

Given that Bam's such a good defender, I did find that encouraging, but I wasn't saying that to hype my team or disparage Bam...there's no shame in an All-NBA guy, who's a force when attacking the rim, getting the better of you. Just like there's no shame in an All-Defensive guy responding in the next game to get the better of the matchup. That s*** happens when good players face each other


I do use crass language a lot, especially when s***talking/bantering with rival sports fans. But no ill is meant by it and I take no offense at the disparaging remarks that come from the other side...unless you're a BFC Dynamo fan, then you can f*** right off


..and the edit tool is a very useful function for clarifying things, not sure why you would criticize anyone for utilizing it unless they were changing the point of their post. Trust me, sparing folks from having to deal with the grammar of my unedited posts is to y'all's benefit as much as mine

Although you contradict most of what you have written, I will not prolong the matter. Believe me, I don't take offense at jokes like this, but pretending to be 8 years old is something else. If you like this run as much as you say just enjoy it.

I feel like there's a proverb about people in glass houses that you could learn a lot from, but yeah, let's just leave things here.
