What's new

He won't score 25 points in a game in this entire career.

That's what some of the know-it-all-blowhards on this board said about Deron when he was drafted. They said he would be nuthin more than a journeyman point guard and lucky to average 5 assists a game, too.

Still waiting for you to name a single person for whom this description applies.

Just keep on waitin there, then, eh, Kicky? Unlike you I do not judge the content of a post on the basis of what I think of the person makin it. I read posts, but I don't memorize who said what, when, so I can keep score of who my "friends" and "enemies" are, like you do.

With a possible exception or two, I can't tell ya who the Fess (insert Boozer, CJ, Memo, Deron, Hayward, whoever) haters are, but I know they're around. I don't take names.

For the record, doesn't your post about ten posts above this one disprove that?

So what you're saying is that while you remember the exact claim made you don't remember who said it, when, or in what context.

It's kind of difficult to take your calling out of these phantom posters who may or may not exist seriously.

Now I remember some things being posted about Deron being fat and whatnot. But by and large the frustration his rookie season seemed to be with Sloan for not playing him more. I am stating that I believe your recollection is either absurdly slanted or entirely incorrect. I certainly do not recall anyone making a specific statistcal benchmark claim like the one you are using to start this thread. It appears you do not remember anyone making such a statement either. Doesn't stop you from asserting that it happened.
 
Believe whatever you want, there, eh, Kicky? As I've said before, even though you don't know it, your "beliefs" do NOT dictate truth and fact.

I will say this: Based on past experience, I can say that your memory is rather poor. Or at least what you represent your "memory" to be.

Despite your exhortations of this principle, you apparently do not feel that the nexus between your recollections and objective reality are similarly bounded.

Are you at least willing to spot that your recollection is just as likely to be inaccurate, particularly given your lack of memory of a number of relevant details?

What you post and claim to recollect do not dictate truth and fact. Unless what you think the definition of what "not" is proves to be different from mine.
 
I was there. I know what happened. If Kicky wasn't, or was, and doesn't recall it, that changes nuthin.

Except for him. He wants ever so badly to call me a liar. It aint uncommon. Every blowhard thinks that everything he doesn't already know doesn't exist and that every fact counter to his rigid dogmatic premises is "impossible."
 
It could well have been around the time of the RMR, I don't recall exactly. It may have been after a few preseason or regular season games. I said that Deron (like virtually any NBA player will, on a given night) likely score 25 or more points on occasion. This was probably in response to a common refrain at the time that Deron simply "couldn't shoot."

One specific detail I recall is that somebody said the closest Deron would ever come to 25 would be passin the ball to number 25. I don't even know who wears that number, or did at that time, but it mighta been CJ.

This comment was hastily "co-signed" and given many a "this" post by the crowd. And of course I was told that I had just been thoroughly "pwned." They were high fives all around, each blowhard congratulatin the other on their indisputable victory.
