Jeff McDonald: Computer geeks hate the Spurs (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/archives/2008/10/jeff_mcdonald_c_3.html)

For once, this has nothing to do with ESPN.com's John Hollinger (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/trainingcamp08/columns/story?columnist=hollinger_john&page=SpursForecast0809#outlook).

EA Sports conducted its annual simulation of the NBA season, using its NBA Live video game. The virtual results are virtually not good for Spurs fans.

If life imitiates video game, your 2008-09 NBA champions will be ..... the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is the bad news. The good news is that the computer geeks have the Lakers beating the Miami Heat in the Finals. Yes, those Miami Heat. The guys who won all of 15 games last season and made coach Pat Riley look as if he'd rather be selling insurance in Kandahar.

So, we don't put too much stock in this particular computer-generated prediction.

In other news, EA Sports computer models have Ralph Nader winning the presidential election and William Hung being named the next American Idol.

This is a perfect example of why NBA Live is a worthless piece of shit for a basketball game.

The Heat would be lucky to make the playoffs this year. And considering how awful the East is, that's saying a lot. Imagine if that "15 win" team would have played in the West all of last year.

Wow, more important news reported by McDonald.

In other news, Anthony Tolliver's mother died the same day he made the team.

McDonald = EPIC FAIL.

We always post every Spurs blurb/article from the E-N in the forum. We have done it for 5 years. I'm not sure why people care WHO is posting it, but whatever.

If I did not learn but one thing this summer, it's that poland is a douche puppet. I was going to put 'Spurs can't land their main guy' but that's more obvious every year.

EA Sports needs to just focus on Madden, and Rock Band / G.H. stuff.

WTF is all your problems?

I admire duncan228 for what she is doing, and I'm getting hate from you?

I remember that duck had a spur for posting news in the NBA forum.
duncan 228 is doing that on daily basis.


If you consider me as a duchebag that's fine. But now you have absolutely no argument to do that in this thread.

Probably a language diff that's responsible for the communication problem. If you didn't mean your original post the way it sounded, for future reference, remember the smiley face is your friend. :)

Part of it is launguage, but not much.

If I would put smiley face many in here probably would consider it as I'm provoking or speaking sarcasticly. So I don't know :)

2 things I hate here -
1. stubbornes and not wanting to compromise
2. Many not related with the spurs threads - but I'm used to it and I'm able to see the difference between threads in a way that I know which one to read and what posters to read.

Now I feel most hated in here in a history of ST
I know I'm hateable, but damn.

Cheers

Meh, your post sounded like an attack, so if it wasn't language, then it was lazy. Don't be T Park, just apologize and move on. You should have put a smiley face in it or worded it better. Too many people interpreted it as negative to be a coincidence, so don't hold everyone else responsible for misreading a post you wrote. With all due respect, the one being stubborn here is you. There are few here more unlikable than I am, but I try to avoid the misunderstandings, and accept that they're going to happen from time to time.

No, you're a fucking stupid-ass. You got called a douchebag because you made a post that was interpreted by everyone that read it as being antagonistic toward someone who's known on this board as being nothing but polite and pleasant to other people, and who works her ass off to supply information to the readers on this board. You're even more of a douchebag for getting pissy and crying about how everyone hates you for no reason, while insisting you did nothing wrong, and saying stupid shit like "get real" when I tried as nicely as I could to tell you what you did wrong.

Dumb fuck. You deserve what you get.
