Real Deal

I hate rooting against Marcus Morris. Kobe playing like Rondo tonight.

Why can't Pau just try on the defensive end?

It's fine, Kyle. No need to jump in. Thanks for cleaning out the PM's. I've been backing some of you guys for years, even after coming at me with remarks that I would never allow a person to say to my face. I'd honestly rather see you guys leave the site for good, on your own, if this is going to flip over to me. Real talk, not even mad at this point...I don't know.

I've seen childish actions for quite some time now. I don't have a corner to force childish members to stand in, so any alternatives will have to do. I haven't had many dedicated members come out and say they don't care about a ban, either, but if we are at that point...oh well. Just an all-around disappointment, honestly, but I do blame myself for not babysitting as much as I used to, for removing the word filter, and going away from what defined this place 5-6 years ago.

WELP.

READ.

By the way, move on from the Shaliq bullshit. I'm serious. If you didn't get the hint when I gave him the 30-day suspension (that I'm now going to shorten, since you guys won't shut up), maybe you'll get the hint when I start handing them out in complete disregard to our activity. With him gone, nothing is different. No activity. We have 40-50 online every day. So, that means I'm to the point where I really don't care what member it is, and if you think I'm kidding, please say one more thing about him, or anything regarding that situation.

9,751

We're actually at 10,330.

Whoa, we're down to 213. WTF Reid.

Well, we're not even 10 games in with either of these guys, so predictions are going to fall on current production. I wouldn't say Walker doesn't have much help from his teammates. Charlotte has six guys scoring in double figures, compared to Dallas' five. It would be a little different if Dallas had Dirk. So, of course, by the end of the season (when Dirk returns), Walker will probably be ahead of Mayo in any discussion because of that factor, but at this very moment, Kemba is in his second NBA season, coming off of a team that had 66 games and no offseason, worst winning percentage ever. Mayo started to struggle back in 2010, first gradually losing his starting role to being strictly a bench player, shooting 40% in two consecutive seasons. The 9% jump in shooting, despite the heavily-increased role, is what stands out...especially considering the fact that he's putting up nearly six threes a game, already shooting around 30% of the threes he shot last season...in just these first nine games. Again, I'm sure Kemba will be considered before Mayo when April comes around...but we're only 2-3 weeks into the season, so not even that is certain. No reason not to judge both players on their production today.

Now at 12,241. Just deleted banned members' messages, a few from guys who will never post here again (like Diesel), and all of those auto-messages for member forum anniversaries. No idea why I decided to send those, lol.

LOL, a few of our members weren't even born for that.

OJ Mayo. He's putting up 22 PPG on 49% FG, 59% from three (31-53 from downtown). I'm not sure if anyone else is even close to that much of an improvement.

Haha...Gallo airballs a three, in transition, only down by two...and then, Norris Cole (the worst player on Earth at the time) drills a wide-open three.

LOL, how the hell did LeBron get away with pushing Gallo like that? :o
