Notice how no one questioned what you said, they just came at me WITH FALSE ACCUSATIONS. LOL

So once again, your beef is with management and not with the player. But like we did with Allan Houston we hold a grudge against hte player because we didn't get what we want.

When we take the front office out of the equation. When we forget about all the guys we wish we had and cry about daily and just focus on the player and his skills, you can see the guy developing right in front of our eyes.

And ya'll are grown, grown. Like you could be my daddy, grown. Like you getting AARP shyt in the mail, grown. Like you're irregular and can't eat spicy food no more, grown. Like ya'll had to use "colored" or "white" bathrooms, grown...

Who gives a fukk what they're "well aware of", I just dont see the value in them developing these hard feelings over a difference of opinion. sometimes you forget about what you know when you're heated. I'm just telling them to chill. Why does that bother you?

Doesn't bother me at all. I am actually enjoying their arguement as I do with most of the arguements on this board. At least the ones that prove to have parties with some brains.

Well, when they start scrappin' in the streets and one of them goes off and breaks his artifical hip or breaks his pacemaker then the blood will be on your hands!!

That's OK. I'll just wipe it on you and pass the blame on you.

So the community that playa is talking about is MDA and Gallo's pop?

Dude, its pretty clear, its not about being specifically Italian. Playa means cuz he's white. Only he doesn't want to say it in those words. Fairly obvious.

So Brook Lopez, Kevin Love (if he had been available and chosen by us), or Joe Alexander (thank the gods we did not end up with him)- the non-Euro white players- would have been "community" picks and caused Walsh/MDA to be scrutinized in the same way as they were for picking Gallinari? And Lopez, Love, or Alexander would have been subjected to the same animosity that Gallinari faced from some around here?

Ask Playa.

So you agree with Pharezone's comment huh Bip ?

No. There are no conspiracy theories here. I have told you countless times exactly my feelings.

1.) Gallo is well worth the 6th pick
2.) I know that scouting is not a perfect science. I do not expect management to get the best player everytime they draft. So even if Gallo was say worth about the 20th pick I am okay with it if the guy is a contributor. I expect them to get good players and over time build a team. If you get good players, magically over time you build a good team.
3.) If the objective was to get the best player with every pick then every GM would be fired.
4.) We do not know who will be the best in Gallo's draft. The jury is still out. What I do know is that he is showing as much ability and potential as all who were drafted 6 and beyond
5.) Our pick was a lottery pick. I expected them too go best available player so that we could increase the talent level of this team. "We needed, and still need to fill every need" -Bip.

Anything else you need clarification on?

What feelings am I developing. I can seperate the man from the posting. I have no idea what type of guy playa is. He may be the greatest person on earth and if I ever met him I would give him the same benefit of the doubt that I would give anybody eles. As a poster I think he is provocative with little substance. Nobody else needs to feel this way about him. That is just how I feel about him.

I have had dealings with playa well before this forum.. and I feel the same way you do.... it is not personal, but his posting is without substance and at times downright childish...
