W&C gets the "Folding Chair" Award for his performance in the 4th quarter Saturday night. Congratulations!!



In all fairness to W&C, neither of our teams shot well in the 4th. I only made 4 more FGs than they did. Most of my points came from the line.

You're over-complicating what I am saying!!

How about just, whoever puts the orange leather sphere through the orange ring more frequently wins?

Only 5 players scored more per game than him last season. So if my math serves me correctly that means on average he outscored his opponent for everyone but those 5 players. And that already considers my opponent switching his best defender onto him.

Now consider that I had 3 similar players who could put up 20 ppg. How are you going to beat that? You either need 3 players who are slightly better at offense or 3 players who are shut down defenders but can still beat my 3 players defense or some combination of the above. That simply was not present last season.

I think you're getting tripped up by the premise that whoever scores the most wins. Its tough I know. Also let me assure you I value defense as much as anyone.

Ha, thanks for the slight props. I actually don't even watch my games anymore - probably wouldn't even have noticed how bad of a 4th I had were it not for the post. Not to mention the fact I wasn't planning on winning anyway . . . apparently I should have actually tried slightly harder . . .

So there's this little basketball game in town today...I grew up going to Butler games with my grandfather and the Demon Deacon in me hopes Duke has an outbreak of gonnosyphaherpelaids, so I'm happy with the halftime score.

When you're done masturbating in front of everyone, perhaps you should check out some facts. Stop forcing me to lead everyone through your giant cow pasture to point at the bullshit:

*cough* (17915926), (17915958), (17916038), (20176603) *cough*

You'll note that I only included games where even enthusiasm was used, so while you may whine about the last one and Gipson being injured, at least I didn't remind everyone that through the first 15 games or so, you were the only team in the league to lose to Postal (whoops, I did it anyway).

I think you're getting tripped up by the premise that whoever scores the most wins. Its tough I know. Also let me assure you I value defense as much as anyone.


The last sentence seems to contradict your entire argument with lathrop and Azariah. Read back a few pages. Is the best defense a good offense? Is a player with shit defense not mono-skilled? Make up your mind already.

I was cheering for Butler. The Howard kid and I went to the same high school, and we played our regional tourney at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Dude Nandino was the leading scorer in half those games. Thus wtf do I care if his defense was only strong? He scored more than his opponent scored.

Just because I purchased 2 monoskilled, untrainable offensive players for, in my opinion, low amounts of money does not mean I don't still value defense. How does the rest of my roster look? Do you know?

The genesis of this argument was you insinuating that I am overvaluing players because they were heavy on offense. Did these players not help me win games?

So, oh holy one, what are you trying to say by those 4 games again? I lost them? Were you undefeated.

And I know you're not remedial, you're just trying to take cheap shots so I'm sure you realize that a) that was before Postal "went Postal" and b) teams frequently don't put forth their best lineups to save their players for more important games. Or do you want me to explain how the game shape works too?

I'm underlining it so you can see it. You can't possibly be this dense to not see that you're going around in a circle. And since you've admitted that you didn't pay much for them, why would you assume their scoring stats would make anyone else pay more for them?

So, oh holy one, what are you trying to say by those 4 games again?


(136480.126) I could swear I put it in bold. It's showing up in bold on my monitor. Yep, that's bold. Please tell me you can see the bold part.

And I know you're not remedial, you're just trying to take cheap shots so I'm sure you realize that a) that was before Postal "went Postal" and b) teams frequently don't put forth their best lineups to save their players for more important games. Or do you want me to explain how the game shape works too?


Yeah, it was a cheap shot, but the part I made bold in my last post brought it on. You can't expect to swing your dick around like that and not have someone come along and tell you just how little the poor thing is.

You're right bro. You have the one and only way to succeed in this game. My point that you CAN win with offensively centric players was totally misguided. Even though we finished with nearly an identical record and you can arguably say that the only reason you beat me was because I was missing my best player in the playoffs. But nah son, you are the smartest.

And surely buying 2 players is an indication of what the other 10 players of my roster look like. I'm fond of projecting and stereotyping too. Next time I'll just sit on my thumb and let assholes like you waltz around until I find THE PERFECT player.

Also I'm glad you showed me the light and pointed out that the only reason I lost 4 games was because I had TOO MUCH offense and not enough defense. Next season I guess I'll just go undefeated. Of course I only started all 3 players in question for 0 of those 4 games. But you right, those are tremendous examples of why 3 star offensive players can't succeed.

And no I'm not going to back down cause you throw cheap shots without researching what you're spewing.
