Eny, my hats off to you. A good reminder for us all, to act/write more friendly, with our forum friends.

ROFL@thisTopic. But yeah, those guys post some insightful shyte, regardless of if I agree with them. Glad they contribute. I also find the moronic name-calling to be trite and not at all constructive

E.g.,

Nyballa561 wrote:at least he optimistic. as opposed to people like "iSergio" who is a complete douchebag and pessimist.

Fixed. Please take the asinine name-calling to RealGM. Folks here disdain that sort of silliness because it adds nothing and makes you look rather lame.

I generally enjoy what both have to say. I think Playa's take on D'Antoni is pretty accurate and I enjoy reading Briggs insight and predictions about young players. I think they both add a lot to the forum.

I wish some of you would chill out with the abuse you spew at these dudes. I'm glad they continue to show up everyday. I think they are a huge part of what makes these forums some of the best on the net.

Maybe its not having an opinion, but the opinion itself?

These are good dudes, opinions are like *******s. Everyone got one!

I think Briggs and Playa are both king and queen of the douchebags and I love both of them for it.
I just hope that people will like me

You were dethroned?

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I would not have put Playa in an appreciation thread with Briggs.

Briggs does his homework and researches players like he looking for up and coming stocks. I've had a lot of arguments with him, he is sometimes mean to me(...sniff)and his comments are perhaps a tad heavy handed when they don't need to be, but I understand that he likes the team and is always thinking of how to improve it, even if I disagree with his assessments. I also take his player research seriously- again, he is not always right (he is a sucka' for athletic bigs)- but I don't have the time to follow college ball that often except for the tournament- so I sometimes learn of a player for the first time from him.

Playa is a provocateur, par excellence, who tries to push buttons by posting on certain topics. He seems to limited in terms of what I see him write about this or that player or issue. Don't know if he is a racist, as some have insinuated- I will let people judge that for themselves by reading his posts and drawing their own conclusion. He does seem to have agendas which drive him, though. Maybe when I retire in a few years I will be bored enough to do a word analysis of his posts- might be revealing.


I will make a prediction. If AR and Gallo remain on the team, you can be sure of getting a regular diet of posts where Playa is providing his usual "objective" analysis of the two young men, and god forbid Anthony's minutes don't measure up to Playa's expectations- his pet name for MDA will be "pasted" all over this forum.

If Jason Kidd in his prime were the Knx point guard Playa would have mixed feelings about him

BRIGGS thinks he knows it all and thinks too highly of himself but Playa's racist, pro Isiah Thomas and conspiracy theories are far more annoying.
