Ok drunkie. It is hilarious to see your posting style change though. I remember the actual "happy" foosball, perhaps you ought to change your name to "bitter drunk" foosball.

BTW - You're the one lashing out at people in the thread HF, not me, the other people I was disagreeing with were giving great debates, I'm not sure why I even bothered responding to you.


Constantly calling my basketball iq in to question is lashing out at me and being a jerk. A lot of you do it here, and it's annoying. Btw, if i'm drunk and bitter about anything, it's not basketball. I'm happy with the Magic overall. I'm just not awfully pleased with the coaches behavior towards the media, or the gm's refusal to make a trade. The Giants won the superbowl, guess what, I post on a message board for football too and everyone called me an idiot all year. Then everything went pretty much the way I said it would. I don't see this as being any different. It's easier to hate. If you think that i'd lash out if you guys didn't constantly insult me then you are dead wrong.

I do think you use loose meanings on the words that you post so you can constantly change what your saying to make yourself look smarter then you are, but whatever.

I'll put it simply, I think Dwight Howard is at least as good as KG and Duncan right now. Feel free to disagree with me, I don't care but don't call me stupid because I think that.

*And btw, I do think KG and Duncan are both on the back ends of their careers. Their production will fall rapidly over the next two or three years imo. Duncan isn't nearly as quick as he was two or three years ago and KG is becoming more brittle by the season.

*And a double btw, I still think if Orlando doesn't trade Mobley, and tear up the chemistry on that team they probably do win 50 or at least come close too it.

Eh, screw it, I can be more concise.

1. You're not the only one to have predicted the Giants upset believe it or not. Upsets are a lot more likely in the 1-and-done format of football, if it were a 7-game series the Giants would be raped.

2. It was not my intent to attack you, but I did notice you being attacked through the thread, try re-reading your posts before you post them perhaps, you typically come off as terribly bias and bitter toward anyone who disagrees with you.

3. I'm here to hate you, but everyone else isn't, lighten up. I'm sure they'll like you if you chill and go back to happy man again; I'll still dislike you, but who cares, lots of people dislike me 8), I wonder how many ignore lists I'm on, perhaps you should add me to yours?

I think KG and Duncan are at the end of being "the guy" on their teams. I doubt either one of them aren't starters in 3 years. But I don't see either of them putting up 20/10 either. I don't see them playing in 75-80 games a season, mabye 65-70. I see their minutes dropping as well. So i'm not saying they are done in three years, just probably done being stars. Also realize they are 31 but they have a lot of wear and tear on their bodies. Especially KG who didn't go to college like Duncan did. But Duncan was never that explosive anyway, so when he starts to lose it I think it will effect him that much more then it will for Garnett.

As far as the Giants, I was talking about them in the preseason. Tiki retired and everyone thought they were going to be a 4-12 team and just be horrible. I told everyone they have two things, one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, which they do and one of the best Defensive lines in the nfl which they do. I said Brandon Jacobs and Ward would more then make up for what they lost with Tiki. I said the NFC was wide open, and any of the top 4 or 5 teams could come out of it. I predicted they'd finish second in the division with 10 wins, which they did. *although I thought the Eagles would win the division with 11 wins, not Dallas with 13* I made these predictions in Augest. I didn't think they'd beat Dallas in the divisonal playoffs, I was really suprised and happy when they did because they are the one team the Giants just do not match up with this year. I thought it was 50/50 with Green Bay and 50/50 with the Pats.
*I should have mentioned the Tampa game, because a lot of Flordia people like the Bucs, sorry to say this but I was really annoyed that they were favored over the Giants. Really, really annoyed. They should not have been. I saw that as being a definite win.

As far as the personal issues with everyone I only have one thing to say, i'm tired of people insulting me. When I made the thread a week or two ago after Gundy went off again after a Magic loss about Howards defense I got mad and made a thread complaining about it saying is he gonna do this every damn time they lose? After three pages of people insulting me, a lot of people later in the thread agreed with me and said it was wrong, that he should keep it in the locker room. But nobody called those people stupid or insulted them, just me. That stuff bugs me because I have opinions but usually i'm not the only person with them.

I'm sorry, I get a warning for calling taruky a hedo d*cksucker and happy foosy is probably just gonna get off scott free most likely despite much worse because nobody will report him (I won't be).

HF, you don't have to worry about life on this forum as much as you do, I'm obviously the black sheep, I say anything out of line I get reprimanded by the damn mods. And it takes literally everything in me to stay calm about that when I've personally ran and admined forums (i.e. could delete the forum from existence if I wanted) larger than this one, not no sissy local moderator like these people are.

The grass is greener buddy, mellow out, we don't (all) hate you.

Hey, I don't care what you do or say, lol. I'm just noting how you'll likely not get any mention of anything for your actions.

Personally, I think this place is moderated too tightly for the type of community it is (i.e. a sporting community), if I were moderator I wouldn't have any problems with your post. But the community standards here do.

In the end, I won't be surprised if I get a PM about me saying I have more experience than the mods here, lol...

Peace man, keep the temper or not, it doesn't bother me, but if your temper indicates something bothers you (which in general mine doesn't on this board, I just have a habit of typing harshly I guess) as much as it seems to, you ought to chill.

I get pms sometimes i've been warned. But when it's consistantly people egging me on and forcing the issue with me then mods do tend or have in the past to not ban me because they know I don't go looking for it. I asked if it could stop, and that guy responded by slamming me. I asked again, and he slammed me again so I told him off.

But your right **** this playing a game of dota then going to the gym.

Well, like I've noted, you seem to be geniunely angry, any of my posts that appear to come off as 'angry' are 99.9999% of the time just me typing harshly.

For you, that means, I'm probably joking around with you if I come off as angry toward you. Overall though, it shows a difference -- why do you post here if you're actually angry and not just a harsh typer like I am (as people tell me)? It doesn't seem like you enjoy yourself here, lol...

tsherkin, one of the more knowledgable people on the board puts it elegantly enough in one line:

Howard doesn't even enter this discussion.


Continuing...

He's raw as an open wound even still, has no jumper to speak of, isn't a very good passer and gets a LOT of his buckets on alley-oops and transition opportunities as opposed to in iso sets... and he still doesn't handle double-teams all that well. He's coming along nicely and what he is capable of achieving with a limited but growing skillset and athleticism is astonishing... but he's nothing compared to these two ITO offensive value.


In the end, these results from independent people get it right. Dwight does not deserve to be discussed with these guys.

Though, the topic has run it's course, this really is the final dagger (still, others will likely give reasons its invalid).
