Here is a movie reference for you. I should have used it right off the bat as soon as you bombarded this thread with endless amounts of non sense(went tame here). But, I guess it also applies to your 10 or so subsequent replies. :suds:

Put the guns down and back away.



Take a 5-minute break and focus on your breathing. Sit up straight , eyes closed, with a hand on your belly. Slowly inhale through your nose, feeling the breath start in your abdomen and work its way to the top of your head. Reverse the process as you exhale through your mouth.

Me personally, I hate the 1 and 1...

...that's probably because my team is the worst free throw shooting I've ever seen in my life. smh.

Change completed to completely, really if you couldn't understand it...you again are a moron.

...says the pedantic asshole who called me out for typing "my" instead of "me."

You are the biggest hypocrite in the world on top of your 1 of a kind stupidity. YOU started the name calling and personal attacks when your idiotic sports correlation didn't fit. Obviously you have never bothered to watch football or you never would have made it in the first place.

Says the guy who calls people out for simple typing mistakes, but can't fucking handle having it done to him.

That said, you are still trying to take the football statement for something it isn't. I wasn't using football as an example of why it should be changed. I was using it as an example of how it already works. All of the bullshit you keep bringing up doesn't change that. It would still work just the same. Why that is so hard for you to grasp, I won't speculate since it might offend your delicate sensibilities.

I 100% addressed why the two sports have differing rules and why they work for the given sports. Now because you are too stupid, can't read or are just too ignorant(probably a collection of all 3). The entire thing went over your head and you resorted to insults. I of course fired back like the gentleman I am and you really got RATTLED. The troll couldn't handle it...ironic!!!

I'm well aware of the differences and how they work. That was never a point of contention. The fact that you keep bringing up how things are as a reason why not to change is pretty laughable though. And as I've already pointed out, foolishly circular logic. "It should be this way, because it's this way!" Thank's Socrates, for that indispensable bit of philosophy.

I did what a message board is intended to do. I said exactly why your fantasy land of basketball was completely flawed, illogical and in no way displayed "cheating" and now I guess "lack of sportsmanship?". You lack sportsmanship by trying to win? Sorry, that when someone refutes your outrageous claims you get obnoxiously offended and resort to petty lies to try and wiggle your way out.

Actually, you didn't say how it is flawed. You simply stated why you didn't like it and then went on the red herring rant of a lifetime, I guess in an effort to distract people that you've brought nothing relevant except your opinion. And your opinion is certainly welcome when stated as such.

But I guess you think pointing out my "me/my" typo was so critical to your position that you just couldn't let that one go, eh?

But don't try and twist it on me. I showed the flaws, you got offended. It's pretty clear too. But if you are worried you are talking to a "wall" maybe you should look no further then yourself and see where the nonsense is really coming from.

Again, no you didn't. You went of on some tangent about football which has nothing to do about the basketball rules being discussed here. The football example was brought up as an example of how it works, not justification for it. So all that time you wasted trying to say why it didn't justify it was just and example of you missing the point entirely. Had I never mentioned football (and God knows if I had realized the road it would lead us down I never would have) every single point I've made still stands.


What we're left with is me making a suggested rule change with reasoning why I think it should change and you ranting like a loon about football rules and the atrocity of watching someone dribble a basketball for 35 seconds (which anyone with half a brain could figure out isn't a likely outcome since the trailing team would have no choice but to play smothering defense for a possession until the either got the ball, a foul was called, or time expired. Oh the horror!)

You've made it quite clear why you don't like my suggestion, but you haven't made a single compelling argument for why it wouldn't work.

I'm OK with the current rules; especially the double bonus which curtails excessive fouling. Really see no reason to change things as unintended consequences come into play.

That's also some fine work. All your grammar fails are belong to us.

^^^^lololololololololololololololol

in this argument i'm on your side Mr.Hockey (simply the 1 and 1 issue, none of the garbage the two of you are spewing now) but you very obviously missed his intentional "are belong to us"

I do hope the two of you keep entertaining us, I always love when Trolly goes off the deep end with someone else
