No Boogie, you just spam entire threads non stop with your negativity. There's a difference.
Your impartiality as a mod is quite embarrassing. You will allow hste and negativity and defend it when it’s acceptable towards players who the majority of the board deems it’s acceptable to criticize. When it’s Boucher, and Walter and guys you agree you don’t like you don’t give a ****. When I was criticizing fvv years ago I was insane and a troll, but when the entire board starting turning on him suddenly it was okay because it was the norm.
I’ve already direct messages you about this. you’ve even went out of your way to say you think my support for guys like aj Lawson makes no sense. So somehow when I do support guys, it’s stupid, but yet everything I say is negative and perpetuate negativity? How does that make sense. Like I said, if you wanna talk about negativity, then call it out equally. It’s a joke at this point when I can’t even be critical of the guys I want to be critical of and am called out for supporting the guys that I believe in just because it’s not majority opinion. I will never respect or agree with your misinformation narrative until you actually call out everyone for criticizing every player. Otherwise stop pretending that you’re objectively moderating.
You do come off as a grouch for what it’s worth

This game is on ESPN?
No, just talking about the boxscore the game on ESPN.com for some reason someone thought listing points first on the boxscore was a good idea and I can’t seem to adjust.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Refs are bad but we’re also playing like idiots for the most part.

Yeah both are true. I expect them to play way more stable in the second half and pull away, but who knows

And again, this is allowed. You’ll get mad when I criticize gradey dick or Scottie Barnes but will be the first person to say trade Rj.
So really what I’m getting from these takes is that I’m not allowed to have my opinion and no matter what opinion I have it’s either stupid or wrong or negative because the players I support somehow doesn’t count as a positivity. When I stand up for guys that no one else gives a **** about it’s not considered positivity.

Lame whistle plus missing a ton of easy shots and turning it over a ton. Clean things up and can still be a blowout.

We can go back and forth but point it moot because Ball is a way, way better player. I just find it funny that now that we've won a few games we're too good for Lamelo Ball lol.
lol no he isn't
He's not a way better player, debatable if he's even a better player at all.
He is and the stats prove it. Last season, LaMelo with an EPM of +2.6 vs Ingram's +0.1
It's not even close

It’s a big board with differing opinions. Stop thinking you’re the only person who has the opinions you have lol. For every post you make there are tons of other making the exact same post.
