I find it odd that mods are being asked to intervene for holding someone accountable for a prediction on a message board.   

I wasn't asked. I'm tired of high school cafeteria food fights being passed off as quality posting. I'm not asking anyone's permission or interested in a discussion. 

It's not funny, it's not productive, and all of us mods have better things to do. So knock it off.

Raptors didn't help us any today.  They lost their game VS the Knickerbockers..

Milwaukee is 10 points ahead of the 76ers. Halftime.  Bucks are our next opponent, I believe.

Honest question since you are a Mod.

Why are a couple of particular posters allowed to constantly bring up what others say that they disagree with (especially doing so in a passive aggressive manner), but when others bring up the things he or they say that end up looking foolish, we get chastised by mods?

Well apparently Solo agrees... as does Trae?

They didn't want to let him go, it was a financial decision. Had so much money committed to Fox and Buddy. Once we have to start paying the young guys, something similar could to happen to us.

The funniest part of the story is this: 

Quote

Responding to a tweet from a fan who was seemingly thankful to the Kings for giving the Hawks Bogdanovic, Young reposted it with two laughing emojis as caption. In a follow-up, the third-year star rubbed more salt into Sacramento’s wound by noting that it was all “facts.”

They don't know that's the Hawks Utility Knife and Leader, LOLomon! Looking for clicks adding Trae in the heading, smh.

Thus, they chose Hield.  They're not dumb.  They saw the timeline of when guys needed to be paid.

Once they get Ball and Hayward back, watch out. They are going to be a tough out.

Yeah, this year the 5 through 10 games are going to be the most interesting. ATL, MIA, NYC, and CHA will be super competitive with hungry fan bases pushing them on.  Then you have the play in teams like WAS, CHI, and IND. I believe one of these teams are going to catch the top three seeds sleeping. 
 

Same thing in the west.

Is there anyone with ESPN+ nice enough to post the meaty parts of Pelton’s latest take on the Hawks’ surge?  He’s a little too nerdy for me, I much rather read the film/ stat balance of Lowe but I’m still interested in what he’s gonna say beyond the obvious Nate and Bogi praise.

Wow, can they at least wait to see how  it all shakes out. They may regret this if Luka, Boston, Steph, or any of their other darlings get bounced in a play in scenario.

This is bad.   There should be some record requirement.  2 years ago the Lakers finished 10th in the conference.   11 games back of the Spurs and Clippers who had the 7&8 seed.  Can you imagine one of those teams getting knocked out of the playoffs and replaced with a team with 10 fewer wins all because you lose the last 2 games of the season?

I thought the #10 seed has to be within 4 games or something like that to qualify for the play-in or something like that.
