this is your pity party now
Keep acting like an immature child, it's a good look.

His nickname kinda called for it. Also, don't be silly, you full well know that when someone acts a fool here, we don't sip tea and call for moderation. Vahagn is annoying, planning the parade, praising Phil, etc, after one game, and calling out people like he did a couple pages ago on immature shit. He talked the talk saying "you can take the trash talk right DY?", so that's hypocritical if he can't take being called a bandwagoner... then questioning my "credentials", before saying "we don't care about your credentials". Fuck that noise, I'm getting tired of him getting people to say fuck the Knicks because he's so damn trolly and clownish.
By rodeoclown Go To PostReally, not everybody approaches fandom the same way and I'm not going to knock a guy for, for instance, following players or executives. It's really not bandwagon jumping here and this thing really got out of hand quickly. It's really unnecessary.
it's like saying I have black friends tho
By blackace Go To Postit's like saying I have black friends tho
Comparing =\= equating. Him only bringing up the Knicks in paragraphs when he wants to trash me or insult Phil is basically him giving us disclaimers for why he's an authority. I don't think he's a racist, I'm just highlighting the stupidity of that sequence of arguments.
For the record Y'all were fine comparing me not fully embracing analytics in a sport to denying the end of the world with climate change. So don't start this "oh how dare you blow basketball out of proportion"
By diehard Go To Postwait, we cant deny the end of the world with climate change?only if you bring up the fact that kobe's fg% is directly contributing to el nino
By Vahagn Go To PostI don't think he's a racist
... well, thank you, you shouldn't be so considerate of both little ol' me and such a trivial issue as racism!
The fucking words he writes, I swear.
Guess why I criticize Phil? In case you haven't noticed, he's not exactly managing the Warriors
By diehard Go To Postwait, we cant deny the end of the world with climate change?
Lol yea I worded that poorly. Denying climate change* is a better way to write it.

This place is getting a little too much sometimes. A little too intense and borderline hostile. Why can't we just discuss this shit in peace and let opinions be opinions? It's the same 5 people arguing over and over again.

So far the NYC media seems fine with him. He's been receptive to all fans and I haven't heard anything bad come out of NY.
By db Go To Post
What's he doing there? Not counting rebounds I guess, because he's not even averaging that
By PSYCH! Go To Posteveryone chill and enjoy this justise winslow dunkwho cares about that scrub. I want to know if Devin Booker is legit. He's been putting up some nice lines in limited minutes. Good shooting numbers. If he can keep it up suns may have an actual legitimate shooting guard. Who can shoot.
Booker/Warren/Len. 2025 finals here we come.

Shiet I need to make some new NY rolojis, also Alpha his ass needs to do something funny in a NY jersey already...
Lately, I feel like, the only hostility I see is involves a single member, and that's because none of us know when to log off and keep quiet at times and discuss better things. Vahagn, seriously, you don't need to defend every Kobe/Phil/Triangle thing you ever read (and oh my god, do you read it ALL), and the rest of us collectively need to step aside sometimes and realize we don't need to pile on a single member even if his opinion is... yea.
Really though, the biggest issue is, this insistence that "I know best, everyone is wrong, they're like Climate Change deniers in the GOP or Birthers against Obama" style of arguing. Stop that. It's highly antagonizing.

By diehard Go To PostIs it bad that i kinda hope he isnt any good just because we passed on him?I'll let you have that if you let me hope certain franchises fail because I dislike certain players/owners.
Can we call someone a bandwagoner here, when he's supported a team for just one year and he's at the very same moment strolling around telling people they should man up and take his trashtalk?
I think not only it's acceptable, it's accurate.
Then the guy tells me I'm not a Knicks fan when I've been one for 23 years, when he himself hasn't even seen 23 wins. Of course I'll flip a switch.

I don't like that talk since some people were being petty jerks just because I was rooting for the GS during the playoffs since I wanted my mom's team to go all the way and win. Those people are gone but still, it's just dumb ugliness I hate from sports fans.

Here's the thing. It's not just Vahagn.
It's others too. People will post something and someone else is quick to snipe that comment with a demeaning post. A troll. A gag. Whatever. And then it spirals out from there and 3 pages of gigantic quotes are exchanged. It's become reoccurring and a little boring.
Like, just stfu and enjoy the sport. Everyone's trying too hard to be an analyst, predict every little bit of action, and one-up each other on the trolling.
By diehard Go To PostIs it bad that i kinda hope he isnt any good just because we passed on him?
Yes. cause currently neither of the suns other guards can shoot. :( I'm really surprised by how competent he looks.
By db Go To PostI'll let you have that if you let me hope certain franchises fail because I dislike certain players/owners.
Oh we all do that. Fuck the wiz.

There's always a story behind sports, and who you root for. Yours is cute. Some are dumb. The very hostile reactions to "The Decision", for instance, were rooted in moral and political discourse. I'm okay with people liking Phil Jackson. I'm less okay with people who think he's Croesus v2 and cultivate a terrible culture around the topic. Like, when the team sucks, just fucking admit it. Even if you hope for their success. If you don't, it's fanaticism. Walk the walk if you're proud.
By DY_nasty Go To PostLike what?really?
all i personally ask is that if you're gonna talk shit, keep it within the lines and don't make stuff up.
I don't know about Devin Booker.
Klay only got to where he is because Bob Myers kept at developing his defence since his 3pt shot was already developing as it is.
Does the Suns staff have trainers that can get Booker to a high level defensive talent much like Klay's 3 and D specialty? Kay's improved all around and if Devin Booker can do that then he can be just as good.
I just don't agree with thinking that Booker is better than rookie Klay and has a better upside.
If Booker can become a consistent 3 and D player, he will be very valuable in this league.

Yeah I'm not going to call anyone out or throw shade or point fingers.
We're all to blame in some capacity. Some more so than others, though. :p

You were bandwagoning. You had a reason for it, but you were.
There's nothing even wrong with bandwagoning. It gives you something to be interested in, in what could otherwise be a very sixers (bleak) year, or series, or play offs.
Shit, i've been bandwagoning the grizz for the last 4 years. To not much avail, but still!
Everybody all feisty because they got boners now that the season has finally started and don't know what to do with 'em.
By db Go To PostI'll let you have that if you let me hope certain franchises fail because I dislike certain players/owners.This is how I've been sustaining myself for the last like decade. If the Wolves can't be good, I need something to cling to.

Would you rather have 100 pages of "DAGGER WATCH" and nothing else?
Are we banning the word bandwagoner now?

All of the attacks that just happened, including Gaby, were a result of people getting at ME directly. Not at Phil or Kobe or the Triangle. I purposefully stay away from discussions about Kobe other than the one I had today, ways that Byron can use him better. I don't even get into debates about Phil anymore. I actively try to avoid that shit.
I'm not going to sit back though while you, ace, Gaby, whoever else start ganging up on me though. Yea I was trolling Dy, I honestly was expecting him to come back with "MKG or no MKG we still bodying the Knicks". But he got all serious and took that pity party comment to heart, started calling me a weirdo, told me to fuck off. I'm not just backing off at that point. I tried to change the topic didn't respond to his last "fuck you" post and then Gaby stuck his head in to talk shit too.
all i personally ask is that if you're gonna talk shit, keep it within the lines and don't make stuff up.
I'm pretty sure the entire thread loves the ability to talk shit whenever they please. Hell, you made a thread title talking shit (which I was cool with, it just wasn't funny imo)
as long as you ain't making shit up, diving wildly out of bounds, outright harassing people, playing the victim whenever it suits you... then i'm cool with it. one day rodeo's gonna have to deal with a diehard lavine fan and he's gonna want to claw his eyes out after every single post - on that day, maybe he'll want to make a thread saying how aint shit lavine is. he'll be able to.

By Vahagn Go To Postand then Gaby stuck his head in to talk shit too.Just providing some linguistic clarity to the meaning of "fuck the knicks".
But you probably already knew it's more about you than Jerian Grant.
By giririsss Go To Post0_o who the hell is calling him klay? his sample size is fkn tiny.
Every comparison I've seen of Devin Booker has been to Klay Thompson. I am only going off that.
I don't really see it outside of 3pt shot but that is what has been said. You are only Suns fan I know here so I made that comment to see what you think of Booker upside.
