Constant complainers and negative posters

I agree with Pitt79. Really who cares if some people are more of a glass full kind of poster or more down on a coach that hasn't done much of anything in years. IT'S A MESSAGE BOARD. Rather than insulting people just agree to disagree.

And yes, I don't care for James Robinson. SO FLIPPIN WHAT!
 
you remind me of Ringling Brothers. You're a clown.
Aren't you the one who keeps mentioning board rules? Yesterday you said 1 or 2 posters(obviously referring to me) is a doofus because I think James sucks as a shooter?? Really?? I thought you and I were past the name calling Jeff but I guess I was wrong. You should apologize because I never insulted you at all.

How did things go with your poker game last night?
 
Ok, I will go the exact opposite of being negative and probably still get attacked. I thought Brandin Knight was great, a program changer. But everyone thinks Robinson is so bad.. he's a better shooter, better passer, shoots about 35% better from the FT line. Knight was better at driving and scoring and had some instinct and toughness that James just doesn't to that degree. Even though this tends to be a fairly soft team sometimes, James definitely isn't the reason. He's one of the few guys who shows toughness. He probably will not be remembered anywhere near as important to the program as Knight, just food for thought.

Thanks for asking DT. Played for 7 hours, lost $2000. Had a cooler hand where I flopped a set(3 of a kind) but another guy flopped a higher set and that's where I lost most of the $2000. It happens.

By the way, I'm still waiting for the poker references in your dribbles.:D:D

Definitely respect your opinion. Think you contribute a lot on this board and agree with a lot of your points about most topics. We just agree to disagree about James. And I never have to worry about you attacking anyone for having a differing opinion.

You insult the board every time you post the same thing over and over and over, which is against board rules. And you said you will not stop doing that. You said James shouldn't shoot the 3PT% he shoots his senior year, but it's higher than Levance did his senior season. That is not you posting an opinion, that is being a doofus.

Oh come on, really? You are absolutely ridiculous.

So you get to pick what rules are followed or not? I am not the only person to mention how annoying you are sometimes with your repetitive posting, but as usual, you will only focus on me, for whatever strange reason.

You called me and whomever else you were referring to a doofus. That was totally inappropriate and out of line and that's why I am focusing on you right now.
 
it's easy to find fault on anything or anybody whether justified or not. Some people expect perfection from others and seldom hold theirselves to the same standards. Most likely they've never excelled at anything especially athletically . Anyone receieving a D1 scholarship in any sport is better than 99% of people who ever played that sport. Unless you've played a sport at a high level or been involved in coaching most fans truly have nothing more than a superficial knowledge of that sport. SO WHY RESPOND TO THESE POSTERS NOTHING IS GOOD ENOUGH AND YOULL NEVER CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
Ps: great first half ,new lineup positive ,Cam and Luther need more pt
We beat a bottom dweller. That is a fact. It was an important win, nonetheless.

Let's not start sucking each others Dix just yet.

And let's see, you start liking any post that attacks me over and over, call me a doofus and you wonder why I am "focusing" on you lol. Really? You like to antagonize in your sneaky ways and then play the innocent card when called on it. You know it and I know it.

You said James took and missed way too many shots last night. If he hits one more, he shoots 50%. He shoots the 3 this year better than Levance did his senior year, but hold him to Levance's level saying he doesn't match up. That, by definition, is a doofus. Posting falsehoods is not having an opinion. It is being misinformed, and you basically admit you don't care what the facts are, you'll continue on and on. OK, so do it. But that's being a doofus. It is what it is.

Exactly. You know when I'll be impressed? When we beat UNC on the road. Then you can call me impressed.

Not at all. I get frustrated with James just as I do with everyone else on the team. I can see the shortcomings even that you see in him. Not even arguing it or trying to prove my point, but it's college basketball, we're not gonna get Steph Curry at PG. Even Steph Curry, who was phenomenal at Davidson, was not as good as he is now in college.

So, all things considered, I just think James is a pretty good POINT GUARD. Not a great all around player, but runs the offense well. Typical old school DeMatha kid with great ball handling. I only made the comparison to Knight because he is so highly regarded (and well deserved). But realistically, Knight was not a great shooter, especially from the FT line where he was awful. He was a great passer, but J-Rob is too. Numbers don't lie, he's the NCAA leader all-time assist to turnover ratio. Doesn't mean he's the greatest PG of all time, but he's been a really good player.

Definitely has some things you can knock him for though. Namely, PG is like QB, and quite frankly his teams especially last season's just have not won enough games.

I like many posts that are accurate and speak the truth, why should you care? You like posts that are incorrect but are negative, so what. That does nothing to anyone else. I have largely ignored your childish antics, but that doesn't mean I can't like posts that call you on it. So now you are saying I can't even like posts that I like? What's it to you?

I would love to watch you play poker. It seems like you are so emotional on this board which would seem to fly right in the face of the best (and coolest) poker players like Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson. So I guess it would be interesting.

But I'm sure you do just fine if you play so often. I've never actually played for real money anywhere (just a few little games among friends). It's hard to be really successful at hold em, I believe, unless there are real stakes to be lost.

I do enjoy watching the WSOP on TV from time to time.

I thought about the Poker theme last night but just put any thoughts around the idea.

Who decides what's accurate and speaks the truth? Why should it be you? You're no special authority, especially on opinion based issues. Even stats are not always the be all and end all, Brandin Knight had mostly worse stats than Robinson as noted above and no way I would agree that Robinson is better. That's your problem, you read stuff arrogantly,assuming that you know better and that your opinion is the "RIGHT Opinion" and you come off as a jack ass.

36% > 34%. That's not an opinion. Doofus.

Yes I'm emotional on here because I am a diehard Pitt fan. I love Pitt football and basketball and allow myself to get caught up. But when I play poker I am pretty different. Like when I had that big cooler hand last night I mumbled to myself, got up and took a little break to calm myself down. Lots of players "go on tilt" after a hand like that and start playing way too many hands and usually lose a lot more. I was pissed for a few minutes, got up, stretched, talked on the phone, came back and put it behind me. It wasn't easy.

You have to have a certain mindset to play poker and you have to be able to bluff. 1 time I went all in on a missed straight draw(big big cash game). I put in $40,000 on a stone cold bluff. Had to sit there, look confident against a rich tourist who had lots of money to burn. After 5 minutes he showed me 2 pair and folded. I showed him my missed hand and he went nuts on me, cursing and yelling. Crazy profession.
 
We are experiencing a different sports fan era unfortunately some fans have resorted to calling out players with personal insults and back in my days we said a certain player stunk but now we have to make it more personal. This website is no different we have fans who want to blow everything up and start over then we have a group who try to reason with that group to no avail. Yes we can disagree on players and coaches but the personal attacks on posters and players should stop. Players & parents read this website so we should keep that it mind the next time you want to post something negative personal would you want to read the insults of your family member or friend.

There's no doubt that BK was a better player, and much more importantly, a great leader. Tough as nails. James doesn't have that deadly serious demeanor, but has better "stats". I've appreciated him for 4 years. Not spectacular, but a LOT better than average. Seems like a solid kid....probably a coach some day.

That seems like kind of a high bar, too high in my opinion.

The ND road win was impressive, and beating Virginia on Sat would be equally impressive.
 
Yeah, I'll take wins over UVA and Miami. Then even a close loss at UNC and we can still feel good from there on out. A win would be amazing and they're bound to lose at least one ACC game, but that's a really good UNC team.

Actually if we play UNC tough and competitive, that will impress me too. I don't want to see us get blownout.
 
I'd still take Brandin Knight! RETARD!
I never debated which player was better than another. Just pointing out that if someone is going to point out how much better one player did at something than another, it should probably be factual. Brandon was not a part of that discussion. I know it's hard for you, but try to keep up.

That's asinine. I'll be impressed if we beat VA at home, or Cuse on the road. I'll be VERY impressed if we beat Duke here.

Of course, you're right, with your giant brain, fcckg RETARD! Keep up? How about you catch up or wake up.

I think it's funny how angry you're getting. Doing that heavy math comparing 36 and 34 making you tired?

Who's mad? I'm laughing AT YOU! I find it so amazing that someone can be so STUPID as to think that raw numbers tell the whole story.

So if someone says A is a better shooter than B, and A shoots 34% and B shoots 36%, you don't think that the stats mean anything? If they don't, how is shooting measured then?

Shooting is measured by national titles, so both of these players are FAILURES.

It doesn't define who the best player is, just who the best shooter is, certainly there's a lot more to it than that.
