Laker-Hornets game thread

This is pretty interesting. Redzero flexing his argumentative muscles, on par!!!

I agree.

El Nono wants us to believe that his calling West overrated has to do with a single article on NBA.com and not because BR bashes Tim Duncan all the time. Kinda sad that he has to lie about his transparent trolling.

[ElNono]

I was confused, because you brought it up for no reason. My bad, I guess.

Yeah, I'm sure you accidentally got confused and twisted my words...

Oh , you're serious?! One dude on NBA.com is proof that West is overrated "in general"? There are people out there who think that Monta Ellis is a better player than Kobe Bryant. Just because they believe it doesn't mean that Monta is overrated in general.

You don't see it because you drink the West koolaid. I can easily list 10 players at his position better than him. I bet you couldn't. Which really makes this conversation rather pointless. I'm not going to remove your pink colored glasses from you, nor I intend to.

You're so unaffected that you call West overrated in order to provoke BR. Now you're using "u mad"?! Sorry for expecting you to back your opinions with logic. It seems like I was asking too much.

this from the guy that intentionally attributes me things I never claimed to try to make a point. That's very 'logic' of you.

If it's so apparent I'm trolling, then why are you so mad? Why are you even responding?

[redzero]

I did, to tell the truth. You brought my comments about West's defense up with zero context, so I made an assumption--one that turned out to be false.

Claiming that West isn't overrated because nobody overrates him = Drinking the West Kool Aid.

I can easily list 10 players at his position better than him.

Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, but I'll do it anyway:

1. Dirk Nowitzki
2. Pau Gasol
3. Kevin Love
4. Blake Griffin
5. Carlos Boozer
6. Chris Bosh
7. Amar'e Stoudemire
8. Lamarcus Aldridge
9. Zach Randolph
10. David Lee
11. Kevin Garnett
12. Al Jefferson when healthy

I count Timmy as a Center, but if you don't, put him on there, too.

I bet you couldn't.

And you would be out of money.

Which really makes this conversation rather pointless. I'm not going to remove your pink colored glasses from you, nor I intend to.

trying to make me sound like a homer. Claiming that Al Jefferson is overrated would be equally as stupid and I don't give a about Al Jefferson.
You're jumping all over the place now.

You seem to be confused, so I'll make it simple: if the majority of the media and the general public don't even talk about a player much, how is that player overrated in general? Or do you think that Sekou Smith's blog is read by every basketball fan around?

Now will you scrounge around the internet to find articles praising David West and decrying the fact that he isn't an All Star? If you actually have to take time and look, what exactly does that say about the public's perception of West?

Maybe you're just a humble Hornetfan, or you're just lying again to try to make a point (wouldn't be the first time)... but if that's what you really think, then we're in agreement. He's just a below average player.

What I would add though, is for OTHER Hornetfan in this forum to start paying attention to what your buddy posted over here, and stop drinking the West koolaid...

[redzero]

I have absolutely no idea where you got the idea that I am any kind of a West homer. I already know that there are far more talented Power Forwards in the league.

but if that's what you really think, then we're in agreement. He's nothing special.

Yeah, you, me, and the majority of the basketball watching population, because, you know, this isn't 2008/2009 and West isn't being paid attention to much anymore.

tbh, there's like 3 hornetfan in here... it's easy to get confused.

You're getting redzero confused with BR.


BR is the biggest hornetfan homer on this board.

BR is the biggest Hornet flip-flopper of all time. He changes his tune quicker than a lager turns to piss...

lol this coming from a man named ElNono who is said to be able to suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch.
