    You already know I hate the BS. The truth keeps you from paying for it later. People have time to get over it. But no. They gotta keep trying to put butts in the seats, so intentionally give dishonest information about when our players will be back?

And I can understand you wanting to peek into the threads to see if you're being called out. That's a form of baiting that needs to stop.
    Some disagree with me in a very mature way, but most don't. Most of my disagreements with people here are based on things I never said. They (much like you just did) assume things then run with it.

    You are still avoiding the point. Whether it 98% or 8% how is me commenting on the same topics with a consistent approach any different than every other member of HR doing the samething? The only difference is the overwhelming majority buy into the hype and I don't.

    I'm not avoiding anything. No one comments on that topic with the consistent approach that you do so stop trying to make it seem like they do. No one.

    Yeah thoses type of tactics runs the risk of destroying their creditability.

    If we know they are willing to lie just to maintain some buzz most will eventually tune them out or just assume the worst.

    Clearly this is an area we disagree on. If that was the case then I would rarely even discuss the topic because I almost never bring it up.

    Either way I will continue what I do speak my piece on subjects based on how I see them. I'm sure if you or anybody else disagree you will continue to do what you guys do.

    Just thought of something, if Davis' conditioning is the problem, why not just limit his minutes until his conditioning gets better?

    What are we disagreeing on? That there are people that go into at least 98% of every Davis thread and disagree with most things positive being said about him? IMO, there may be some that might go into 5-15% of the threads and disagree with something being said. They're not in as many as you are though. Maybe it's because you're here more than they are. Yeah, that must be it. One most recent thread lasted a few days. No one called you out but you seem to be the only one going hard against just about everything others had to say in it.

    Players need to be in game condition when they get on the court. Playing while not in game condition is begging for some kind of injury imo. I was thinking last week that when his ankle was better Monty would still be saying he's going to try to get him to get in at least 2 contact practices before he plays a game. We'll see. I guess we know now though not to look for him this week.

    I'd rather wait until he's not getting exhausted too soon. You get sloppy when tired and next thing you know you're pulling a hammy and he's right back on the shelf.

    It's not `the problem'. It's a problem.

    The problem is his ankle was `trying' to fracture under his recent level of activity. Now that he's idle to let that heal, it is creating a secondary issue to be addressed.

    By the way, too abrupt an increase in training is usually a factor in these things starting.

    I'm already starting to see the press call out the Hornets for their injury reports. I have a feeling this may get a bit ugly.

    This is the prime example. Here somebody use a very small sample size to compare Davis to the game greatest. I didn't just create a thread I commented in one. I specifically address the thing that I thought was inaccurate. Which is my point. Everybody has a mob type mentality the min you say something they don't want to here it's personal attacks.

    Yet somebody writes an article that's way to premature and people are quick to dismiss it and attack the writer because it's something they don't want to hear.

    Believe half of what you see. None of what you hear.

    Why do you keep talking about creating threads? We know you didn't create the thread. Do you think that changes what you say because you didn't create the thread? Everyone in that thread knew it was a small sample size. The article was written so obviously the author thought he saw something worth comparing. A lot of people who think they see something special in a player are compared to some of the past greats. Bob Knight compared him to a great. Larry Brown compared him to a great. Perhaps they're comparing what they've seen out of their college games. I don't know but so what? It happens. Everybody can't be crazy while you're the only sane one. Small sample size or otherwise. It's going to happen whether we like it or not. It's not a mob mentality when you address the thing you thought was inaccurate and then you get addressed when you say something inaccurate. You must think you're the only one that can spot inaccuracy.

    Re: Anthony Davis To Miss One To Two Weeks...{merged}

    I left my tickets at home and don't have a replacement for my on-call shift tonight. Might be the first game I don't attend all season.

    You arguing with Throne is more annoying to me than Throne trolling at this point.
