Actually only Elite 8 lol. I had the wrong year, and then the wrong round of the wrong year.

Point stands. Fratello really sounded dumb.

Damn it, you're right. Co-Captains of the failboat. Hard to get all the one and done Kentucky players matched with their year, haha

D Rose is out 8-12 months....

Um since when did an ACL become that long again? It's like 6 months and guys are back.

was it only acl? If he's out that long he probably tore something else like patella tendon.

If he did, no one is saying so.

What a difference a healthy Manu Ginobli makes for that team.

The Spurs are just so damn good... if you asked me what LA team was more likely to win a game in the 2nd round I'd easily say the Lakers. Its going to be a lot of fun watching the Thunder vs Spurs.

Calling you by the nickname of failhook which you have most assuredly earned through previous posting is NOT a personal attack. Stop complaining crybaby

lhs while he may deserve the nickname Justin has already said that the name calling like failhook, cry4fail, CC is a Pedo, LJ knows everything etc... will get you an infraction.

Those dumb pet names can stay in the basement where they belong. Grow up and listen to the goddamn directions.

I agree. Wanting to prevent high-volume threads from regularly descending into pages of name-calling, insults and the ensuing whining = Nazi Germany.

It's not really a hard concept. Talk about basketball here; use people like Skyhook as a human pinata in the Basement. If someone gets hardcore into the passive-aggressive (or simply aggressive) trolling deal, let us know.

Or just regularly enter into "WHA!?! I can't regularly call everyone a fucking retard?!?!?!" hysterics. Which are cute and all, but don't really help with any of the stuff that Justin's trying to improve around here. And, shit, if I can adapt to that, just about anyone should be able to, lol.

That is good. Very good. Especially since the spelling is just how The Basterds pronounced it!

Ah yes, because everyone who challenges directions needs to grow up. That way progress gets made when everyone follows directions and no one challenges authority.

I can't believe I was so blind. Thank you for showing me the light!

I can't wait to hear Skyhook's excuse for the pathetic Laker performance in game 1.

(Am I allowed to call the Lakers pathetic? Or is that a personal attack?)

I bolded and underlined the important things you just said. Such as incorrectly pointing out that I made ONE comment, which I guess to you clearly indicates a descent into "pages of name calling". You're right, it's really not a hard concept to understand that one post is not pages of name calling. No lives were lost by calling skyhook ****hook.

Calling someone an internet pet name is not a personal attack. Saying skyhook (WARNING: PERSONAL ATTACK I DONT MEAN FOLLOWS) "is a dumb*ss piece of sh*t who has never once contributed something of intellectual significance" would be a personal attack and would clearly warrant a warning.

But f**lhook? Come on. A warning for that would be more than a little absurd.
