So is it not possible to ban him or even block his post from view like we could on Squawk? I'm still new to realgm.

Our mods have already issued him a warning and locked multiple threads to calm tensions.

At this point they're allowing us to self police. With the understanding that we don't get carried away or let the entire thread get derailed.

Speaking of which, a certain Slovenian has been upgraded to probable for tonight's Mavs game. Hopefully, they make it 2 wins in a row and give us some breathing room in the standings.

Ferris Bueller’s day off?

A fish named Wanda?

Rookie of the year? (With that kid from American pie)...

TWINS????? (Arnold and Danny)

The Evil that Men do? You gotta love Bronson!

I give up. :lol:

I wanna watch my giant again with Gheorghe Muresan and Willy Crystal.

A relevant story from Trav:

Hawks GM says the Warriors tanked the season before drafting Harrison Barnes

Travis Schlenk, a former Warriors exec, told CBS Sports' Bill Reiter that Golden State tanked to land a lottery pick

It turns out that even the Warriors tanked a little bit on their way to the title. During their discussion, Schlenk admitted that Golden State had tanked the season before drafting Harrison Barnes when they shut down an injured Stephen Curry for the remainder of the season and traded Monta Ellis.

"Early in my days in Golden State we were not good. The year we drafted Harrison at seven, our first-round pick was protected 1-7. We made a decision halfway through that year to trade Monta Ellis, who was our best player at the time, for an injured Andrew Bogut who we knew wouldn't play. We made that deal knowing two things.

One, we never had a center in Golden State, when I was there anyway. With eyes on the future if we can get him healthy, get him back, we shut Steph down at the time. We knew we had to fall into those bottom seven spots to get our pick and that was really important to us." -Travis Schlenk

Sorry to drag you into this. One of the the L**a fanatics has made a habit of stalking our board to trash talk our draft selection/direction of our squad.

No offense was intended. And we are all rooting for you guys to win every game for the remainder of the season. :nod:

Proof that tanking doesn't work!

Harrison Barnes is basically Taurean Prince! 8-)

It's like that commercial where the parents came by the grandparents' house with their kids and they gradually left without telling the grandparents they were leaving the kids there.

Grandpa ran out screaming, "They're leaving us with ... the babies! They're leaving us with .. the babies!"

Except they're leaving us with Luka-cytis. :lol:

What did we do to make you hate us, Mavs fans?
