Where did I ever say the Heat would win 70+ games? I do recall saying that at best they could.

Dude will you just give it a rest already? He quoted me specifically. And he was talking to me. I can only think he's referring to me when he follows a sentence up where he's talking. To me.

I hate to answer a question with a queston, but when did I ever say you specifically called a 70 win season? In my original post, I used the term "talking heads." In the followup, I said "70+ win prognosticators." Fuck's sake, man. You should be more worried about the fact that last night didn't show a lot of positives for the Miami Poorly Constructed Fantasy Team with No Bench than the fact that one Mavericks fan is looking forward to the idiots at ESPN being exposed as hyperbolic assholes.

In other news, Dirk is finally on Twitter, the Mavs tip off against the Babka in seven hours, and the Rangers are in the World Series. Happy day.
 
I dont think he was that bad... he grabbed 7 rebounds in 16 minutes last night. Did all we can ask for defensively considering his size...


.
He was bad.
Why did he play only 16 minutes...not foul trouble, he had only 2. Because he couldn't stop anything...Shaq was eating him alive, but blew 3 layups, 2 right at jump street cause he was a bit too amped up wearing legendary Celtic green.
And remember you said this:
Joel Anthony (a defensive shutdown, that's who will be guarding Dwight Howard),

I can't wait to see how he handles Howard
 
I don't want to hit the panic button just yet with Miami, but I would be very concerned about Wade. His performance last night was about far more than rust - he looked completely lost. And, as Headache suggested, he did not seem to understand how to move without the ball. A lot of "pundits" were questioning to whom the team would "belong" by the end of the season, but it looks to me as though LeBron has taken over after only one game.

So you're right, maybe I overlooked the fact that he's going to get knocked around defensively, but I dont think anyone was expecting any offense out of him anyways.
 
Anthony might have to file for sexual assault after being on the receiving end of so many nuts-in-your-face dunks from Dwbitch.

Unless, you know, he mentions who he's talking about in that exact post, as I said and he corroborated.

Let's all just be like some little Fonzie's and chill.

For the sake of argument... it was the ECC Boston Celtics. Who got even better in the offseason.

A 74 win team finds a way to win that game. I'm not taking a dump on your team (I've got all season to do that), it's just going to be nice to see all the 70+ win prognosticators backpedal all day.

How am I not supposed to assume you're talking to me when you quote me, respond to my 'backpedaling' quote if you will (because lets be honest, what I wrote right there is justifying a loss more than anything else).

Explain to me... how am I not supposed to think you're talking to me? Especially when you erase the portion in my quote specifically saying 'not that I think this team will be a 70+ win team'?

Except he didnt. He generalized them as backpedaling prognosticators in that post - which he could very well have been referring to myself.

And I'd love it if everyone could just chill... you're the one being rather hostile. If you'd just say what you'd like to say rather than coming all at me with the sarcastic posting, maybe we could get along here?

because every dope on espn was asking if the heat can challenge the bulls single season win record leading up to last night, and now they're acting like they just found out the drop dead gorgeous supermodel they picked up at the bar is a tranny.

you're not the only one backpedaling...

Still doesnt explain to me why I'm automatically supposed to know he's not talking to me after he quotes me?

And again for the sake of argument, I'm not backpedaling on my stance. I stand by what I said about the Heat having a chance to be a dynasty. I would be backpedaling if I was someone who thought the Heat were going to win 70 games... but I do believe that's a very justifiable loss at the same time.

Reading comprehension, man. I'll bet you're the only person here who misunderstood Imperor's post. And just because you quote somebody doesn't mean that everything you type under that quote is directed at that person. Example: I'm going to the store to buy cigarettes and Gatorade. I wasn't talking to you when I said that.
 
Yes, because employing sarcasm means I'm treating you like a dog.

Maybe you're just being hyper-sensitive?

Sure as hell doesnt mean you're treating me with any kind of respect. Not that you owe me, specifically, any respect at all. Being respectful is common courtesy. Your mocking attitude doesnt feel nice, just letting you know.

Usually it's an indicator to seperate who you're speaking to with a new line.

As such. If he's no longer speaking to me, he should have started a new line in his posting. That is... if you're going to claim it's reading comprehension.

It doesn't matter if I treat you with respect or not, because you're just going to accuse me of somehow insulting you with innocuous comments, as evidence by your response to Impy's post.

Whatever dude, all I've gotten from you since I started posting here was mockery and belittling.
 
Shit, cat. I quoted you to respond to something you said, but that doesn't mean my comments were ABOUT you. Directed at? Sure. But I never explicitly lumped you in with the Woody Paiges of the world. You're not a victim. Stop whining.
 
Jeebus, even I know when Impy said "prognosticators" he was referring to the so called experts on ESPN and in sports publications, and I eat paste for lunch and dinner everyday.

Luckynumber7, do you work as an anlayst for ESPN or NBATV?
If not, you should not take what Impy said personally.

PhilsFan quoted me. If he would've just put it down seriously rather than the way he did, none of this nonsense would've happened. It's not like my response was not justifiable. If you cant understand why I posted that way then I dont know what to tell you.

I'm not whining. I'm not acting like a victim. But I will defend myself.

Let's see, Impy posted something that pretty clearly stated it wasn't about you. Less than a month ago, you made this post:

http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f223/2010-nba-finals-and-beyond-206308-55.html#post6978402

Which pretty clearly seemed directed at anyone who questioned the Heat's chemistry, especially Hewson in the post prior to that. And you're trying to lecture US about being clear with subjects?
 
You really shouldn't take the fact that we all think LeBron is a pussy and want to see the Heat fail as a personal slight. We'd be saying the same things if you weren't here.

I have to put up with people talking shit about the Cowboys week in and week out, but I realize none of it is talking shit about me personally. Nut up.
