FNG, unfortunately stats can often lie. The fact of the matter is the "like" button hasn't always been available. In fact it showed up about the time you entered the fray. So there are thousands of posts made which didn't have the possibility of being liked. The CLQ (Cool Likeability Quotient) will still recognize Jester as the all time leader, but there are other governing bodies who will refuse to do so. But the most important thing to remember is that a high CLQ doesn't necessarily equate to posting immortality. It takes a certain amount of controversy and confrontation to be one of the all time greats. And those posters aren't necessarily liked as much as one might think. But in my opinion that doesn't take anything away from the accomplishments of you and Jester. And as a fabled former poster once said, conventional wisdom says it takes about 1500 posts to hit your stride on this message board. You and Jester have been well above the curve. Bleed on the other hand was an anomaly who was originally a bust, but went on to posting greatness in his prime years.
I have to think this board could financially scrape together the funds to send Abe (whom we all will miss dearly) on a 6 month vacation to Turkmenistan where the services to access the NBA are unavailable.
Thank you Abe ... we're all grateful for your sacrifice

The Memphis game was by far their most complete performance and satisfying win. That's a team that despite rebuilding since the grit-and-grind days, continued to have their way with us. And of course Tyus Jones learned how to hit open 3's on their roster, heaven forbid that happening while with the Wolves for four seasons!
A few of us pessimists expected the all-too-typical let down after their Sacramento win. That hasn't happened, and if anything, they appear to be gaining momentum. Tonight will either be a continuation of that trend or a bucket of cold water in our face! In other words, please don't watch the game! Same with you doper!
It's a Monday night. And 18 degrees.
Shirley, I'll have many many other things to do instead tonight.
Hope you had fun winter-proofing the house and cleaning the garage Abe. Another great game by the Wolves!
If we all agreed on what would make this team successful it would make this board very vanilla. I have no interest in patting fans on the back in agreement all the time. It's just sports folks, it should be our escape from all the ills of society. Not another example of what's wrong with it.

This is what it must feel like to be KAT not getting foul calls. I'm always driving into the lane for these likes and these refs cool and FNG never giving me the like upvote I deserve.
Damn it I deserve more respect this my 8th year on this board.

Whew. I'm glad at least one person is willing to let me start watching again.
I'll be back to watching via DVR tomorrow night, boys!
[Note: Actually, I did watch last night. And it was fun to tune out in the 4th because of a win and not a loss. Shhhh.]
