Gamethread: Phoenix @ Oklahoma City

[RunDogGun]

So no story about last night's gooning? I've been saying it for a year now, that Stern is working things just like Hitler. Eventually, it will come out.

[Fat_Borbath]

I'm not you, I don't use a 3 game (more like 2) sample to base my comments.

Yes you do. You said "since he lost his starter job". He's only played 3 games since he lost his starter job. So you absolutely DO use a 3 game sample to base your comments off.

My initial "sample" BTW wasn't small at all. I pointed out that he's shooting 37% since he came over to the Suns. His entire time with the Suns is not a "small sample size". It's you who started using the smaller sample sizes.

Seriously, stop digging yourself a grave. You're beat

This is obviously far, far more important to you than it is to me. Were it not you wouldn't keep responding to me. And I'm sure you're going to prove my point by responding yet again

move on and erase any fanciful notion that you have an iota of intelligence in you

That's pretty funny coming from you. I made a fool of you by pointing out that he's shooting 51.6% FG and 40% from three since he lost his starter job, and you responded by telling me I "misunderstood" you and you mean that he lost his starter job BECAUSE he was shooting poorly. That's not what you said initially, but now you're trying to spin that way. Unfortunately you can't change what you said. Even if you edit it, I already quoted you, and you said "since he lost his starter job". Now please heed your own advice and quit fooling yourself into thinking you have an iota of intelligence yourself.

because you're only embarrassing yourself

Oh, the irony. Now why don't you prove how superior you are by responding to me yet again. I know how vitally important it is to you.

[Fat_Borbath]

And I'm sure those %s have been pretty atrocious since he lost his starter job

You can whine and piss and moan and complain about what you "meant", but that is what you said. SINCE HE LOST HIS STARTER JOB. He's played three games since then, and is shooting a great FG% and 3pt.% in that time. Don't say you don't use small sample sizes, because you did when you said SINCE he lost his starter job.

As for "what selective sample", you chose to use an 11-game sample because it suited your argument just as I chose to use a 5-game sample because it suited my argument. The more appropriate number would be his entire season since he joined the Suns, but that doesn't suit your argument either. So I guess that doesn't count.

Your nonsensical diatribe about consistency is a strawman argument. I never said or implied anything about "consistency".

Instead of quitting when you were slightly behind, you choose to fall further and further behind. Don't ever go to Vegas, you'll likely blow your life savings. And you have the gall to talk about my lack of intelligence. Look in the mirror, buddy.

My god. You are literally too dumb to reason with.
Btw I used "since" as "because"...read above

as in, I didn't bother reading your drawn out rebuttal since you're so dumb
As in, I assme Jared Dudley's confidence is high lately since/hence/because he's now a starter

As in, I assume VCs shooting sucks lately since/hence/because he lost his starting job. I owned up to poor word placement above. Had I known some moron would fanatically pursue it I would have grammar checked. Why would I say he was shooting poorly ever since he became a bench player? ESPECIALLY after watching a 11-19 performance? I didn't spin it any other way, you spun it so that you would have some crutch to fall back on each and every time I shot down your argument.

Plz lookup "since" in the thesaurus and you'll find an alternate meaning to be "because". You're so (Please Use More Appropriate Word) that you assume I care about some 3 game span where he came off the bench? Seems so because your genius argument is that he's shooting 50% or whatever in those 3 games. When all I'm trying to do is pose a cause and effect correlation from his slump over the last 11 games to his sudden outburst vs OKC in which his whole offensive mentality was more aggressive.

I'm done with you. You clearly pick and choose whatever fragments you want to respond to while ignoring the rest completely. Stop trying to decorate your inability to understand with acts of bemusement. You've yet been able to provide any credibility to your statements other then self-serving appraisal. Go look in the mirror and congratulate yourself for proving absolutely nothing other than that you're a moron.

Add me to your ignore list because I couldn't stand another brick wall debate with you

Please, put us out of our misery.

[jwooten15]

Why would OKC, a team that thrives on chemistry and humility, willingly add one of the biggest kisses of death the league has ever seen?

I didn't know Steve Nash was a free agent..

lol sorry, had to.

[Fat_Borbath]

Just as I said, you'd be back to prove me point. Wow. You are so **** predictable.

as in, I didn't bother reading your drawn out rebuttal since you're so dumb

If I'm dumb, than you're a **** (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

As in, I assume VCs shooting sucks lately since/hence/because he lost his starting job. I owned up to poor word placement above.

No, not really. You didn't say you were wrong. You tried to backtrack and pretend you meant to say something else when I exposed you as an idiot. Had you just come out and said you were wrong and what you said was stupid, we'd have a lot more respect for you.

Why would I say he was shooting poorly ever since he became a bench player?

How the **** should I know why you say what you do? You said it regardless. And then you said that you don't judge players on 3 game sample sizes. When I exposed you, you tried to weasel your way out of it.

You're so (Please Use More Appropriate Word)

Pot. Kettle. Black.

I'm done with you

I'd like to believe that. I really would. But I doubt it. I've seen your type before.

Go look in the mirror and congratulate yourself for proving absolutely nothing other than that you're a moron.

Go **** yourself.

Could you all just stop with this nonsense? Come on, relax guys - don't forget THEY are playing basketball for a living and are THEY are making millions.

We on the other hand are just sitting in front of our computer and writing about them...it's supposed to be fun...

[Mac1]

within the next 4 games vince should make it past mitch richmond in the all time scorers list and with 50 games less!

[Miklo]

Alright those who continued with personal attacks after my public warning will be handled accordingly.

Motion to start an "OFFICIAL VINCE CARTER THREAD: MISUNDERSTOOD HERO OR TYRANNICAL VILLAIN?" thread to spare us the inevitable arguments popping up in every game thread.

Any seconds ?
