You know damn well it's not because you have a different opinion. It's because it's a baseless, indefensible opinion, such as the ones propagated by the aforementioned.
Fine, you're right and I'm wrong. Kevin Love is a star and one of the best players in the NBA.

Breathe easy

To only be 99% douche instead of 100%: what are your reasons for saying Kyrie is a star and Love is not?

Love is actually playing really well tonight, good to see. I think mozgov clogging the lane helps his game a lot.

I don't really want to get into it. Considering anything I say you'll call me a moron and have a minor freak out, I'd rather just watch the game and not be Debbie downer on a game thread that we are winning by 20.

I called your position indefensible already. I'm giving you a chance to defend it. There will be no insulting your response, considering I've preemptively disagreed.

So go ahead, fire away. Do not pull a Skip Bayless and say something incendiary without defending it when given the opportunity.

Arguing with you sounds super fun. I'll get right on that!

Really? That's your response? You're pulling a real Skip Bayless here. LOL

Man up and defend your point. You said Kyrie is a star and Love is not. Why?

Unless you want to just admit you said something dumb and upon further thought you want to retract it. That's the only reason for not defending your point when given the opportunity to do so.

I can see saying Love isnt a star, if you want to define star as a more elite group. But, I cannot see saying Love isnt a star when labeling Kyrie one.

I may have consumed a few too many beers watching this game. I'm being way more dick-ish than normal tonight

I think that's the position we're all taking.

Some of us a little more intensely than others haha.

Again, I am watching the game and don't want to delve into stats and my personal feelings towards the two players. I just want to watch the game lol I don't see why you gotta be such a dick because someone said something you don't agree with and you want to act all lawyer on them.

I'd rather stick my fingers in the shredder then get into this argument right now, with you. Maybe at another time I will get into it with you (I have been on here for a long time and do not feel labeling me as someone like skip bayless who throws shit against the wall and avoids the defending is fair) but right now I don't want to.

Also, big ol fuck you for comparing me to fw and classy.

Then don't act like them. You made a ridiculous statement and are now running away from defending it.

It's what you're doing right now. I said you're acting like Skip Bayless, which is true. And a drastic departure from how you normally are on here.

You shouldn't need until tomorrow to respond. If you have that opinion you obviously have a reason for doing so, therefore it shouldn't be that hard to articulate what that reason is without doing whatever it is you're doing (everything except explaining your position)

So you throw on your lawyer hat whenever someone on an Internet message board says something and doesn't defend it? Lol you've got some issues dude.

Anyways, im done with this conversation. For now

Why are you bringing up the lawyer thing? It doesn't even take a high schooler to call someone out for making a ridiculous statement and then refusing to defend it.

You know in your head your reasoning for the comment and you refuse to give it.

So if you wanna be done with this convo Skip Bayless, fine. But until you attempt to explain yourself I can't take you seriously.

Maybe it is because JR has been pretty hot since coming over, but I havent seen him force NEARLY as many bad shots as I expected him to/saw him do in NYC.

Maybe its because he is on a team he realizes can be legit. Hopefully its that, and it continues.

Best thing about JR is that he and Dion are essentially the same player, but JR knows that he's MUCH better coming off the bench and letting it fly, where Dion feels he's top 5 in the league, and should be getting the most shots.

It's gotta be right? I mean what exactly was JR's motivation on a terrible Knicks team? I know that seems bad to say but that's who JR Smith is. When motivated he can be exactly what we needed from Dion without the same (type of?) headache.

Also, Mozgov is really showing his worth tonight. It's nice having someone down low with size and a high bball IQ
