it could be worse, you could be a dubs fan, sharks fan, 49ers fan, and giants fan like me.

<<<< Knicks fan

Bobbo the rebel, who would have thunk?

haha, I've never heard them called this. At first glance it seemed ridiculous but now I think I like it.

Dubs is a good nickname.

loooooollllll.

So did Vyse get banned in SE or by someone else?

Tug

I guess this is the main thing I was arguing then. You kept referring to his "half of a season" when in reality it was about 15 games.

We are still talking about the Bynum pick?

Worst pick everrrr

lol no I have a brother, and no I am def not close to this serious in person (or even on the internet most of the time) I joke around a lot etc

EPipeN11:

1. What is your middle name?

2. When you thought I was making fun of your username when I capitalized the wrong letter, what exactly did you think I was making fun of?

3. Are you going to be at this year's WSOP?

4. Are you pleased with how the speed of the draft turned out?

I will answer ur 2nd part first even though it's obv u think i'm a homer i'm not.

I don't think you all are biased against Boston sports. I think some of you are though, not all. I don't think you urself are bias against it, I just think you don't know as much about Boston sports as I do (I am sure I don't know as much as ur favorite home teams sports teams as u do as well).

We don't even disagree on that many things about Boston sports, just a few. I have no idea why u say 0%, as I am sure we agree on a ton of Boston sports things as well.

Things like people calling me a homer tilt the heck out of me, cause I am far from it. If I was a homer, I would not think Duncan is better than KG. If I was a homer I would never call KG slightly overrated. If I was a homer, I would think the Celtics are unbeatable. If I was a homer, then how come almost every Boston fan is higher on Rondo and Powe than I am? Shouldn't I be slobbering on these guys too? Shouldn't I be in love with Big Baby also and saying how much potential he has?

If I was a homer why do I think Kobe is amazing (he is a Laker, I should hate the Lakers which I do, but I am still not bias). Why would a homer EVER say Kobe has a chance of passing Jordan when his career is done??? If I am a homer, why did I trash the Bird pick when Kidcolin made it?? If I am a homer, why didn't I draft like ANY Celtic players except for Eddie House in our N2 Fantasy league?

There are so many more examples I could give, but it will take me hours to type. /rant

And to your first part. I have changed my mind plenty of times before in my life. If you make an actual convicing argument then I will think about stuff logically, but none of u had said anything to logically dismiss McHale (cloning at 24) being worse than a Barkley clone at 24 or any other PF cloned at 24 (not counting Duncan but I consider him a center anyway). None of you brought up any good arguments to refute my claims of 6thman/playing on a broken foot.

The thing what you guys don't realize is I am NOT saying McHale RIGHT NOW IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA is a better PF than Barkley/Malone/KG etc. McHale didn't have the longevity, or got a chance to lead his team.

However if u clone all the PF's in this era, and make them 24 like in our draft, and McHale can actually play serious minutres (37-40 mpg) right away, and be the actual focal point of a team (not Bird), and NOT play on a broken foot which ruined his career, that he would most likley turn out better than Barkley/Malone/KG etc. and I have seen nothing to convince to me that claim is wrong.

1. Alexander

2. I don't even remember

3. No I hate tournies, especially live ones

4. No I wish it was faster, this is taking ridiculously long

Is every post by EPi in this thread a level?

Pointing out a few examples where you rank non-Boston players highly, where you rank non-Boston players over Boston players, or where you rank Boston players lowly does not prove anything. I already responded to this when I said that I expected this type of post.

No big deal, lets just end this though as we're not getting anywhere. I will happily debate the Charles/McHale thing though, as I'm very unconvinced by your arguments so far which appear to be "McHale never got a chance to prove himself, but in the very small sample size of one or two seasons in which he did I think he was better than Charles(even though the stats don't completely back me up even on that) and I think that in our league he could duplicate those one or two seasons over his entire career."

The thing is there are tons of times I rank non-Boston players highly or think they are overrated etc. Those are just a few examples, I didn't feel like writing a novel.

I obv don't think McHale will duplicate his 1 great year every single year, but he will put up sick numbers, (prob a slightly lower percentage with more points).

McHale has better post moves than Barkley and it's not even close. McHale can get his shot over pretty much any defender in the league Barkley obv can't. Barkley has the edge in quickness but McHale was very quick for his size, and since Barkley can't back his defender down for 15+ seconds (5 second rule will be inplace in this league) his stats/game will suffer as it did once the rule got put in. McHale also had a better jump shot than Barkley (especially later in his career).

Barkley has the edge in rebounding, although I think it's a lot closer than people think (McHale is def capable of grabbing 13-14 boards if he is the lone rebounder on a team like Barkley).

Barkley is obv a better passer than McHale, but McHale could pass when he wanted to. After Danny Ainge called McHale a blackhole, McHale responded with 10 assists.

McHale was a much better ft shooter than Barkley was (especially later in McHale's career).

And the biggest difference by far between the two was defense. McHale is so much better than Barkley on defense, that I don't even think it's really that close who I would rather have a team with.

I would also rather take KG and Malone (and obv Duncan) over Barkley as well.

1. Cool. Does anyone ever call you 'Al'?

2. Ok, just wanted to make sure you weren't upset, as I didn't do it intentionally at all.

3. But they're so soft. You play 3/6 and 5/10 online, right? I simply can't understand why anyone would want to play in such tough games when they could beat tourneys so much easier and probably for more money.

4. Obviously it'd be awesome to have a pick every 10 minutes, but I think you've been proven wrong, no? You wanted me to enforce a 24 hour time limit and you even started your own league with that(later changed it to 15 hour time limit). I told you that even without a time limit we'd be far under 15 hours for 90% of the picks at least.


A few more questions:


1. Why wouldn't you come to the WSOP for the cash games?

2. DIf Bernard King were eligible for this draft where do you think he should go?

3. Three gods A , B , and C are called, in some order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A , B , and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are “da” and “ja”, in some order. You do not know which word means which. How can you complete your task?

4. Would you rather get a new watch or have a hamster put in your pants?

lol wtf is this 20 questions with assani fisher?

1. No most people don't even know my middle name (they call me my first name which is Josh).

3. 5/10 3/6 and 2/4 full ring cause I play 24 tables and there aren't enough 5/10 and 3/6 tables. I can make more money in online cash than I can in high variance tournies, I see like 40x more hands per hour playing online cash than I would in a tourny.

4. I wanted only committed users. Like if it was a draft with me u clark kidcolin bobbo tbach etc. it would have gone a lot quicker than if we had included like 5-10 people who don't post here often.

1. I don't like live poker in general it's way too slow paced (and I grew up playing live poker too).

2. slightly lower than Charles Barkley should have (although I obv didn't see King play)

3. . Your task is to determine the identities of A , B , and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god.

Does this mean I can ask 3 questions to each god, one question to each god, or 3 questions to only 1 god?

4. lol obv watch

Ok someone needs to pick, I don't even know whats going on in this thread right now.

none of the above imo

3 total questions. Each must be addressed to only one God. However you could ask all 3 questions to one God, two to one and one to another(and zero to the third), or one question to each God. Its all up to you, pal!

lol live games. mebbe bc he doesnt want to sit with a bunch of complete *******s seeing 30 hands/hr where variance takes over a lifetime to overcome.

no sht. battscher is approaching highstakespro level of douchedom with his negligence.

Dudes,

I pretty much would have been the best power forward ever if I was 6 inches taller and didn't retire after high school. I had sick post moves. My D was tough.
