Already know all that, but it shows how miserable people really are if the thing you get up for is to either yell first or internet troll just sayin.
Rockman, I wanted to say a little something when you first started getting butthurt/defensive. It was going to be short and to the point, but a couple days went by and now a few more pages have added to this thread. It is probably because I am in Iraq serving my country and I’m short on free time, as opposed to someone who works at Game Stop (last I knew) while obsessing over a basketball team 3 states away and has ample time to try and be an e-thug.
Dude, I don’t know if you fully comprehend but this thread is not entirely about serious basketball discussion. We have tags like “get paid before lockout” and “the fat kardashian”. 16 members of the thread, myself included, are in a Fantasy Basketball FUN League. This thread is jokes, son. It is the Onion’s coverage of basketball but 24/7 and turned up to 11. It is about 97% jokes and 3% serious basketball discussion in my estimation.
You want serious basketball discussion? Go to realgm man. You want to enjoy yourself with some laid back people and talk about basketball? Then stick around here. But don’t try to be John Hollinger in the midst of a bunch of J.E. Skeets and Bill Simmons.
I work a shitty job. I am underpaid, undersexed and I spend a lot of time away from my family and friends. I have to live around people, most of whom I wouldn’t give five seconds of my time to in the outside world, and worse, I have to try and get along with them or at least tolerate them. Some of the few pleasures I get in life right now are reading NBA game summaries every morning or laughing at things in this thread…like people dumping on you.
First off, how about you stop dumping on my home town? Sure, the teams may suck (yes people, I have abdicated the Rockets. I am a Spurs fan now…go tiny French point guards and shooting guards who play basketball like it’s soccer!) but there’s something to do out there for just everybody. Unless you want to pay too much to go to a basketball game, try to fuck a bunch of artificial, coked up girls with no interest in you or get killed by bloods/crips. I understand L.A. has all of that in spades. (No offense intended towards the posters that actually live in the City of Angels. You guys are cool.)
Calling people in here trolls and then getting frustrated/upset when they retaliate is like swimming into the middle of the ocean, cutting a huge gash in yourself to draw blood and then complaining when a bunch of sharks begin eating you.
If you can’t tell by now, due to me being long-winded for once in this thread, I’m extremely mad. I can only stand somebody ruining my favorite thread on SRK before I lose my shit.
Here’s an ultimatum for you - If the Lakers don’t repeat, you need to leave the NBA thread for good. Or how about we make it interesting? How about that happens if Artest is still on the Lakers’ roster after the trade deadline?
Or you can just settle for lumping me in with the rest of the “trolls”. You’ve displayed that you’re at least good at that.
tl;dr - Yes I mad, and I love all you guys, well everybody except Rockman.
watching the 98 all star game…
Same here <3 <3 <3 BUTT SEX
RIK SMITH!!!
and did BUckely just call us Bill Simmons 
I would have preferred Steven A Smith and a bag of cheetos :’(
edit: Regarding Kobe interview… DId he just say he and the others smoke pot 
Great interview.
edit 2: wonder what the were saying in Italian?
I called us Bill Simmons and J.E. Skeets. I wish I’d thought of the Steven A Smith line. ;.;
Personally I could careless if your serving this country or working as a security guard at a county fair. If I got an opinion I’m going to say it. First of all akumatx and yourself are the one always bringingup that rockets shit but at this point who cares. This is the last time I’m even posting anything in here that’s not even laker or nba related so who cares.
Time out. TIME THE MOTHER FUCKING OUT!
NOOOOOO DON’T DO IT. IT’S A TRAP!
First off you must not know about Matrix. Matrix IS John Hollinger and he did just dandy! Second off did you just call me WHITE!
HOW DARE YOU!
Hold your horses there buddy only I can make these type of bets. Blake Griffin torn ACL here we come baybee!

lol at rick adelman saying " Their (lakers) 19 games over .500. Yeah I’d trade em’. ", when all this trade talk started. i dunno, i’d hate for artest to be traded. true he hasn’t been playing well offensively this season, but with the exception of the last few weeks he has still been a good tough defender. if anything, they should trade bynum. im done trying to get hyped up with this guy and his glass knees.
You need to stop being so paranoid about white folks, Tiger. Start worry about getting picked by black folks in the racial draft so you can be “all black”.
P.S. Blake Griffin is a biracial angel how dare you wish ill on him.
Glen Rice was so thug. Always playing with his jersey untucked.
This is off topic, if there is a topic, but I don’t know if this joke is very effective. Even “quality” newspapers are full of errors like these. If you didn’t include except in your sentence to push it over the edge, I would have just assumed you were trying to get it right.
There’s a parallel to be drawn between declining grammar and the declining mid-range jumpshot in the NBA. It’s true.
SUPPRESS DA MAMBA
Also fuck yeah NBA on TNT tonight. Gonna order pizza and call the homies over.
I am not paranoid. I just don’t want to be associated with the devil!
PRAISE JEBSUS!
P.S I have at least 10 white friends. That’s enough for me to be not considered a racist right?
Matrix would be John Hollinger if Hollinger constantly got his dumbass banned because he went trolling in the comic book thread.
I dunno man I just hate seeing Gasol at the 5 because he gets so fuckin tired and starts putting up 12/8 instead of 22/13. He can probably play C for about 6 games putting up decent stats, at most. He did have that 20/20 game against denver though, in losing effort 
holy crap, hahaha trolls run wild? srk bad rep? did i step into the wayback machine? is it 2001 again?
Think John Holinger trying to talk about women’s volleyball. Same shit would happen. 
Back to Lakers talk already?
I shouldn’t have been hating on Clippers talk, now I get Lakers talk.
:sad:
I need to move to L.A.
ORANGE COUNTY HERE I COME!
P.S Maxx is the biggest NBA troll in the universe. He is a Lakers and Celtics fan.
WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?
What made the situation even worse is that there was no backup C for Gasol earlier in the season. Bynum was obviously gone Ratliff is STILL injured. At least there was Mbenga (TACOS!!!) to take some load off.
Trade Ron for Battier. Never going to happen, but Lakers can dream. If he goes to the Celtics, he’ll be on the bench behind Pierce. With the Lakers, he’ll start and play good minutes (at least until Barnes returns).
I miss mbenga, this man could play D and had his J going every now and then. They let him go to get him more minutes, but just think he would of had a shitload of minutes if he stayed with us this year.
Knicks fined $200,000 for illegal draft workouts - NBA - Yahoo! Canada Sports Knicks got off easy considering what they could have potentially lost.
