If I wanted to read a damn slap fight I'd read the ESPN forums, dammit.

Yank your heads out of your rear ends and quit it.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

What? I didn't agree with him, I told him why in detail and he had no response so he cried instead and tried to act cool. What is the problem exactly.

I don't care if you read the responses. They are meant to post my position if anyone wants to read my response to yours. Perhaps if you didn't read them you shouldn't have responded to them.

Now please tell me how you know my tone when I'm TYPING a message


Are you serious? You believe that the written word has no tone? You don't think a line like "trust me I'm not alone, lol" has a distinctly derogatory tone?

Stop trying to tell me what to do!


When did I do that?

I give evidence for my opinion


You gave a small sample of stats and when I questioned it you implied you had more reasons but only you could know them for some reason.

it's starting to get me angry.


So sorry to hear that.

For anyone genuinely interested in one specific example of what NBA stats don't tell you, see Michael Lewis's (of "Moneyball" fame) recent article on Shane Battier. It's pretty sweet:

(It's way longer than Kingsblade's posts, so be forewarned.)

I've read that, it's a pretty interesting article.
