Some of yall are giving him negatives for no reason. Everyone should go back and give him a positive for everything to get him out of negatives.

[HaleParticipant]

Totally agree, I’ve been on that mission for awhile but one point doesn’t do much.

[MagikKnickParticipant]

it’ll never work, i dont know who it is, but theres an army that gives hims negatives for the hell of it

but im down to see and try if we can do it

[QHaynes20]

Thanks guys….It’s ok. I’m cool

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Bullshyt, were getting you in the positives

[blazer_fan_foreverParticipant]

Q should have 5000 points by now lol.

[tli232]

seriously guys, Points don’t matter. I don’t judge a person’s degree of Basketball-knowledge by points, that’s stupid. If 15 year old kids want to treat this forum like Xbox live and want to unlock “highest point total” achievements, let them. Hardcore basketball fans like yours truly will not give them whatever respect they think they deserve. Even though QHaynes has negative points, I still regard him as a top 10 poster (in terms of knowledgeableness ) on this site, even though I ripped into him a few months back about trading some draft picks. Look, I know it feels good to have others look at your points and automatically think you have inside sources, but it’s much more satisfying to garner respect through the quality of your posts.

From now on, I will erase posts where the topic is purely based upon someone griping about points. Thanks for your cooperation.

[MagikKnickParticipant]

LOL, these mods are tight….hop off

We all know that points dont matter, i think were all smart enough to realize that…
its just ironic how one of the most respected guys on this site, with a high b-ball IQ, has such low points

[tli232]

ok… Some people just gave MagikKnick 2 negative points for the above comment. There are definitely come negative nancies on this site. I see nothing wrong with the comment. I wish MODS can overturn points, that’ll make the points system much more fair.

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Either delete the point system entirely

or show the screen names of those who gave negatives

..thats my fix

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

he earned those points by saying such things as white people aren’t tough.

[llperez]

did he really say that?

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

the predicted 2010 mock draft thread.. he said something about white players dont get drafted high because they lack athleticism, toughness, and something else.

[QHaynes20]

….Uh…read what i said on that post

Those are reason why i heard white players i liked in past draft why they didn’t get drafted high or at all

[QHaynes20]

see what im saying. Some people be hating for no reason, i refresh 10 sec after and im -2

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

“No it wasn’t…he was speaking the truth. Why do you think alot of white players aren’t drafted high or at all?

Athleticism, toughness, potential”

That looks more like your opinion rather than what you heard

[llperez]

I can understand the athleticism part. But toughness is just a joke. There are some weak players of every color. Go tell Harpring, Pryzbilla, Brockman, Hinrich, Gortat, etc they are not tough. White guys don’t normally get drafted high because there are not as many good ones, period. I don’t think toughness has any thing to do with it.

[QHaynes20]

see…thats why i dont like you because you take the part you want to.

GO AHEAD GO LOOK MORE DOWN INTO THAT POST, I STATED IT. GO AHEAD……I knew this post would fine a hater

[QHaynes20]

I remember when Budinger was being talked about…they said is main weakness was “toughness”

I like Budinger and I wanted him to be taken by NY at 29…I’m not racist.

[butidonthavemoney]

How dare you talk to a superior like that? Spencer has nearly 300 more points than you!

[llperez]

Budinger was not tough. But neither was Jonathen Bender. I didn’t read the other thread, but you can’t just say white guys are not tough because of a few examples. You can hate on indivdual white players toughness, but to lump them all together is just inaccurate.

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

While we’re off-topic here.. can we ban the word “hater”? there is nothing more annoying than someone calling another a hater because they disagree or call them out on something.

[butidonthavemoney]

Let’s ban the word, scurry. I hate that word.

[Michael.S.Participant]

Hater?

Poof………………Banned

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

Alright, I looked at the post after that… And then the 2nd post after you said:

“I agree but there hasn’t been alot of white players who got a chance in the L for those reasons.

Im not been racist…being honest”

[Michael.S.Participant]

Scurry?

Poof…………..Banned

[QHaynes20]

Why has the number of white players decreased since the 70’s and 80’s?

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

I can tell you it’s not because white people aren’t tough. Black people are more natural athletes. Has nothing to do with toughness.

[QHaynes20]

why are you only saying tough when i said Toughness, Athelticism and potenti

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

is that a serious question?

[Michael.S.Participant]

Black people are more natural athletes?

[QHaynes20]

he just said 2 racist comments and no points taken

I said something and I lose points?

[Michael.S.Participant]

Oh asian taxi driver’s?

[llperez]

Because as the game has evolved, athleticism has taken a premium. There used to be big white dudes on every team that could rebound set screens and thats about it. But they have been faded out over the decades because now you have to have some more skills if you want to last in the league. It has more to do with athleiticism then toughness. Guys like Laimbeer, Rambis, Eaton, Konacak, they would have trouble playing in todays game, but it wasn’t because of toughness. Shaq called Scott Skiles one of the toughest dudes he had ever met and said that Scott punched him one time in the mouth during a fight at practice. Do you think your boy Kenny Andersen would be punching Shaq?

[Michael.S.Participant]

he was being sarcastic Q, you should know him by now.

[butidonthavemoney]

Administrator Edit: I know you were joking, but racism isn’t funny. Consider yourself warned.

[QHaynes20]

Nah….now I think ppl are bias.

[Michael.S.Participant]

bias towards blacks or white’s ? this ain’t 1940 buddy

[butidonthavemoney]

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

lol are u surprised by the fact that black people are more natural athletes?

[Michael.S.Participant]

Lil Q^

[Michael.S.Participant]

are you?

[butidonthavemoney]

I smell a conspiracy… Why do the admins only pick on me?

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

cuz ur black

[llperez]

Maybe they are prejudiced against poor people

[Michael.S.Participant]

Suggestion: Try putting a space before the frown, it will look better

[butidonthavemoney]

[Michael.S.Participant]

What would you do if that guy walked up to you like that?

[butidonthavemoney]

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

if those 2 were our admins, i’d want to do one of ’em.. not sayin which..

[Michael.S.Participant]

how old are you?and that lady?

[butidonthavemoney]

I would do Sarah Palin. Assuming that is who Spencer was referring to…

[Michael.S.Participant]

tooo old for me!

[CLYDE-frazier10Participant]

gives a fuck about points

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

what was your racist joke about that got deleted?

[xbadgerhustlerParticipant]

i would only do sarah palin if she insisted on getting beaten. that woman stands for everything that is wrong with america

[llperez]

I’m not real big into politics. But the thought of Sarah Palin in office scared the s.hit out of me.

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

last time we talked politics and i discussed my displeasure with barack obama so far i lost about 100 points throughout the convo.

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

I’m a little more republican than democrat i guess, I dont mind her too much. Shed be better than Hilary, at least. She’s against same-sex marriage, she’s for resource exploration in alaska, and is against obama’s healthcare plan.. I agree with her on those things.. But she’s pro-life and I’m pro-choice and it would be hard for me to vote for someone who is as religious as she says she is.

[who.am.i.nbadraftdotnetParticipant]

Spencer,

Sarah Palin has absolutely zero experience in washington… she quit her only real position in alaska… and how can you be against same-sex marriage~ do you not know any gay people? even if you think you don’t know gay people, you do, and i think it’s ridiculous that someone’s life partner isn’t allowed to be by their hospital bed in their dying moments because haters like yourself are too afraid to accept people for who they are.

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

I know a lot of gay people. I have gay friends. I just think marriage should be between a man and a woman. I don’t have a very strong opinion on it, if gay marriage is allowed throughout the country I’m not going to be angry about it– just of the opinion that it should be man and woman. A co-worker of mine who is gay recently got married, I supported him and congratulated him. I don’t agree with it but I’m not “hating”(again with that annoying word) on it.

[who.am.i.nbadraftdotnetParticipant]

how would you feel if your friends weren’t allowed to say bye to their life partner because they weren’t technically married? how would you feel if they died by themselves all lonely, just cuz they’re gay and didn’t get married to a woman (or man if they are lesbian)?

if you can honestly say they shouldn’t be allowed to do that, than you aren’t being a very good friend to them. and promoting the repression of their rights is…… just as bad. what kind of friend does that make u?

[GoodbyeChandlerParticipant]

can give me a good reason other than ” i believe marrige should be between a man and a woman”. i am a heterosexual male and personally i dont care if gay ppl get married, but even i know that reason is a load of crap. just because its against your religion doesnt mean you should apply that belief to the lifestyles of others. besides, its gonna happen, just like the end of slavery, just like suffrage. it all depends on when.

[xbadgerhustlerParticipant]

it’s like saying i just believe that white people and black people should drink out of different drinking fountains… that doesn’t make it ok.

[McWinningParticipant]

points dont matter that much so i dont think its worth getting him in positives just for the hech of it.

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

They should be able to see their loved ones. Like I said i’m against it, but Idk it doesn’t really matter to me. And Its not against my religion, I dont have a religion.

[McWinningParticipant]

cool hes in positives now. (who really cares).

[CLYDE-frazier10Participant]

lol jk

[McWinningParticipant]

good idea. lol.

[TheAlchemist]

surely you dont have to be married to be next to your loved one when they are dying. is that some law i dont know about? btw bird, how’s bobbob? lol
