Minnesota Sports Forum

FNG, you're doing it again. You said that I predicted the Wolves would go 7-3 or 8-2 in the first 10 when I merely stated the reasons for that kind of a start as a possibility. Obviously, the team underperformed and squandered that opportunity. Now you're presenting my optimism about this season as though I don't recognize and point out the flaws on the roster, namely size and rebounding. Can you understand how that's annoying? I feel like this is a constant issue when you and I go back and forth. You respond to points or stances that aren't even mine.

I also don't need any explanation as to what this board is good for. I've participated since its inception and have had disagreements with everyone here. Somehow, some way, I feel pretty good about every relationship here aside from you and Cool. I feel confident that I've heard the opposing side and they've heard me. There's at least some understanding after the debate/conversation. You and I talk in circles with no ground being made. It's happening yet again.

I'll leave it with this. It has to be exhausting being a fan of a team when it seems like you can't or don't enjoy a huge win. I can't imagine watching last night's game and then talking about why the Wolves would miss the playoffs or lose more games than expected. If anything, the timing is just off to me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the tone or intent behind what you commented, but it didn't sit right with me. On to New Orleans...

Well I predominantly only have Camden, monster, bleed and FNG to talk baseball. I would like to keep everyone :)

I've lost LST, Jason and Crazysauce :( even I had to leave the board for two years. Be thankful to have sports conversations about a team you cherish.

I would love to do Twins GDT but who would give a shit. I'm literally writing for audience of what 2-3 that maybe give a shit.

KG4Eva and Dloser at least have the stones to challenge the bullshit. Need more like them.

He is so far out of bounds in this discussion it's ridiculous. Why can't anybody say that? Why do we have to pussy-foot around things when he's clearly acting out of line? FNG has been a breath of fresh air to this forum. A much needed breath of fresh air. Do you realize that Cam, CAM, actually accused HIM of not being able to acknowledge when he's wrong? I realize that Cam is responsible for about 35% of the posts on the board, but a lot of you have enabled his behavior on this board for too long. The last time we had a schism like this, Cam left the board for a period of months. I believe it was this past spring and into the early summer. I would say the discussion on this board was as good as it's been in a long time during that period. "Fuck your negativity"? No one puts up with that type of posting from anyone else, why does this serial offender get a pass?

I think Cam is one of the most knowledgeable posters on here with some of the most insightful takes. Period. I respect and learn from his knowledge. Does he have a strong personality and cross a line sometimes? Absolutely and I felt I called him on it with this latest spat with FNG. I don't need to swear at people or call them names to get a point across. I'm not sure you are in a good position to be lecturing folks on how to behave.

Explain

Can we just not get personal? It never bodes well. I think we all generally get the flavor of everyone's personality here. We talk about a shitty basketball team. Its not worth getting personal.

Thanks for boiling it down, Doper. You nailed it!!

Haha. Your right on dope. The wolves is my favorite basketball team, but no way are they worthy of strangers getting personal with each other behind the monitor on a message board. Give us a ring to
brang about first!

Yep, honestly we are all here for some sort of release. I don't want to lose people on this board because it is probably the best nba board out there.

We talk about the worst franchise in the history of pro sports. I still enjoy it all these years later.

Let's not get personal. Let's continue to talk about basketball. We don't need to be all buddy buddy, we can disagree but what is the point of personal attacks when we will probably never see each other in real life.

We have lost LST, Khans2k5, monsterpile doesn't post as much, etc... it's really hard to get new posters because this website is hard to find.

Let's all respect each other because this is a great group of different perspectives on a shitty basketball team. Don't want to lose people because it's hard to find a place to get super nerdy on the wolves and have solid conversations back and forth.

I hope every keeps posting because obviously we are all here because we think this board is a damn good one

Haha, yeah I like calling him out, but besides his sometimes irrational takes on Dlo and stubbornness, he's definitely a net positive on the board. FNG, you're a solid poster for sure, but you definitely win the award for longest/most boring posts. Cool and lip are probably my favorite posters, but you're all good and it's great reading the thoughts of other wolves fans! Btw... towns has gotta quit whining so much, dudes a freaking headcase (I know he's had it tough)... edwards is the man, follow his lead and don't let your ego get in the way and you'll still have a successful career. Go wolves, let's shatter FNG's win projection!
