"Bip reasoning"?
I don't get it.
No you asked John how he not support a rookie on his team. I used that same for reasoning for Walsh, asking how could he not support any of the players he inherited like Lee, Marbury and the others. Sometimes just because someone is on your team, you will necessary root or support.
I think there is a difference between being a fan and being a GM. A GM has to look at things from a business/team perspective, where a fan just simply roots for his team.
Isn't that a little simplistic? When you're a little kid all you did was simply root but when you get older and have a better understanding of the business side, intricacies of building a team and opportunity costs, it becomes a lot more involved than just simply rooting for your team.
The fact that we all talk about things like the salary cap, free agency rules, Larry Bird Rights, expiring contracts and efficiency statistics, should tell you that our fandom is based on more than just watching games and rooting.
Of course, you idiot. But this wasn't based on the intricacies, of the game and salary cap etc. This conversation was about a fan "supporting" a rookie on his team. A simplistic sentence that got a simplistic answer. How can you not "support" a rookie on your team. Get over when he was drafted. Get over who we could have had. Get over whether you agree with the pick or not and how Walsh runs the team. When it comes down to it, it's a rookie on YOUR TEAM, who did not strong arm your team, did not demand to be drafted ahead of whoever, did not try to get the coach fired or demand that someone get in his truck. He is simply a rookie that was picked and came to YOUR TEAM to play. Why would you not "support" him? "Support" is far different than agree with or enjoy the pick.
Andrew and Martin, before I go off on this schizophrenic *******, I just want to make sure that we all understand that I wasn't the one to escalate this.
"I think there is a difference between being a fan and being a GM. A GM has to look at things from a business/team perspective, where a fan just simply roots for his team."
This is the simplistic sentence that I was responding to. It's a general comment and not specific to rooting for any rookie, you ****ing idiot. And my comment is obviously in response to that simplistic sentence. I'm glad that you agreed with me, before you turned into a raving ****sucker and decided to go off on me about something I wasn't even ****ing talking about.
Now go back to being a sanctimonious jackass and tell us all about how we're supposed to act as fans.
Went off on you? Escalate? Schizophrenic? jackasse? Tell you how your are supposed to act?
You obviously weren't a part of the original conversation but injected yourself anyway. The original conversation started with a fan that said "I am not a Gallo supporter". I responded with "how can you not be a Gallo supporter". Two very simple sentences. No talk of salary caps and future moves. Just simple conversation about supporting YOUR ROOKIE. As a fan of the Knicks I find it odd that a fan would not support him at this point. Call it sanctimonious, call it egotistical, call it mean. I don't care. Hate the GM, think the GM is an idiot, but Gallo's here, working hard and there is no reason not to support the guy, unless...........YOu have an agenda.
I find it funny that you spend your day searching for a fight and yet felt that my last paragraph was me "going off on you". Lighten up Francis
Yeah, because nobody ever jumps into a conversation in a message board and comments on something that somebody else said. That never happens here.
What does looking at things from a business/team perspective have to do with simply supporting your rookie? That's what I was addressing, not whether anybody should support a rookie. It's not that difficult yet you continue to suggest that I was.
Searching for a fight? Explain how I was searching for a fight with you with that benign comment. And when you can't, you'll understand why you were out of line in your response to me.
I have no idea what you are talking about, what you are whining about, what has angered you, or why I am even having this discussion.
Recap:
Person says, "I am not a Gallo supporter"
Bip responds, "How can you not support your rookie"
Isles says, "what about salary caps and Larry Bird rights you simplistic moron that deserves to die. I'm going to kill you, you bastarde"
Bip says, "huh?, Kind sir(paraphrased),I simply asked why would you not support a rookie? I don't understand this talk about Bird rights and what that has to do with supporting a rookie"
Isles says, "Listen you dumb asse. Don't ever attack me like that again. I hate you. You are a jerkoff. Die, die, die"
Bip says, "huh?"
That's pretty much how it all went down.
Summary:
Isles yet again is a victim. Of what I do not know. But regardless, I'm not going to get dragged into another one of your typical piossing matches.
You're seriously a schizophrenic jackass.
Don't forget to take your meds today Bip. If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System
