Good to know. At least you can't be held accountable. ;)

Anyway, here's a challenge. Try saying 10 positive things for every 1 negative for one week and see what happens? :p

I'm going to read back through this thread and block all future posts from anyone who thinks Tomic is NBA material from that video. Go join a water polo or cookie baking website because you don't know a damn thing about basketball.

Please call Jerry, kevin, and Greg immediately. Apparently they are also lacking in knowledge of NBA skills or else they would have never drafted him, right?

It's simple. Your negativity ruined this board. I don't post here anymore because there are too many negative opinions and naysayers. It's a small miracle most of you aren't depressed and hiding in a hole somewhere.
 
Oh, and everyone's obsessed with Rep. It's like game for you people. I guess you gotta have hobbies. I'd rather play a real game, personally.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Just thought I'd speak up. It's been a hard week so maybe that's influenced it bit. :cool:

Ok, go about your business. :D

First of all, let me apologize that my penchant for telling it like it is ruined your experience here on the board. That sucks...for you. I mean, you should be able to enjoy the board just like everyone else.

So what should I do? I can ask you to cry harder or I can point you in the direction of the ignore button...one of the more important functions available to emotional people like you here on the board. Chances are you already knew about the function but decided against using it...because if you did, you'd have nothing to cry about and get emotional over right?

So, I feel bad, but I dont. You and only you can decide your fate.
 
Everytime I watch Tomic I get mixed feelings.

Part of me is thrilled about his size, speed, and potential.
Everytime I've seen him I also think he's not quite there yet.

He is too weak right now to dominate in the NBA. He's not even dominating over there.
Also he is not finishing well enough around the rim. ****ing flush the damn ball with power!
No more weak AK type finishes! I can't take another AK type who finishes like a girl around the rim.

Anyone that can't see the skills he does have now though is blind.
His hook shot is NBA ready right now. He also is going to be able to hit that mid range jumper from day 1. His defense is improving,
and his natural quickness should help him develop into being a good defensive stopper.
I think it's all up to Tomic. He has all the skills to be a good NBA C for us. Does he have the work ethic to take
it to the next level? Would he mesh with Sloan? He has never shown any interest to coming to NBA so we may
never see him.

I want him to play another year overseas, and to dominate next season.
If he takes another step forward we have to pull the trigger, and at least go after him hard to come here.

Maybe they drafted him because they understand that the value of a commodity is set by the market's perceptions of that commodity, not by the inherent value of that commodity itself. The price of orange juice will go up if there isn't much orange juice on the market regardless of if those oranges taste very good.

This explains why so many players are drafted on the basis of potential.

This. Especially in bold. I currently have a couple people on ignore...one because he is simply a dimwit that doesn't know when the argument is over....another because he is a troll of epic magnitude to the level of all-out harassment. Maybe 1 or 2 others for various reasons. This way I can check out their comments when they seem to fit into a larger conversation based on others who quote them or whatever, but I am spared their inane antics on a regular basis. Most posters I do not enjoy I just laugh at or argue with good-naturedly or just accept them as imbeciles or clueless of whatever and move on with my day. Maybe with the occasional negrep. Different strokes for different folks.

So use it and enjoy the board. It works for me!
