It was just a little payback for calling me a ****ing moron for saying the basketball team has been street-balling since we were playing Butler. Inside stuff. Butler did lead at the half.

zls44...let it slide.
 
Doc, very good analysis. The inmates are running the asylum without JC
 
isn't this against boneyard rules.. why are you creeping around someones Facebook. Its HIS opinion .. Freedom of speech
 
his father was probably saying the same thing last season; but no one paid attention. WHY? because they were winning !!!

I'm not sure what some of these things have to do with each other. The Boneyard doesn't have any specific rules, nor can they enforce many of them--although many of us are 6'6", 250.

While I wouldn't go looking at Alex's dad's facebook page, it doesn't seem like the poster did either. He said he saw it in the comments. Who was Mr. Oriahki saying this to? It is his opinion, but he clearly wanted someone to read it as he made it public. The poster didn't steal his journal or anything.

About freedom of speech: nobody is arresting him. He's not going to jail, so it doesn't really apply. But if I take your logic, and imagine it somehow does, freedom of speech allows other people to criticize him without impunity as well.

It's not really 'holier than thou', it's more "I can't believe I am forced to share the planet with people this dumb". And I usually put more effort into the douchiness to really make it pop - you can't go subtle with douchey.

Apology accepted.

I can't believe you didn't rip into him for "holier than know" (and some other typo/grammatical mistake). Someone said you are going soft, and I just might believe it!

Marcus Williams was obviously a better passer than Napier. No doubt. But Marcus was terrible on defense (much much worse than Napier) and only was able to get into the lane because the defense couldn't cheat off of other players to cut him off.

AJ Price:
06-07: 3.6 apg
07-08: 5.8 apg
08-09: 4.7 apg

Shabazz Napier:
10-11: 3.0 apg
11-12: 5.9 apg

Seems like he's just as good a passer as AJ. If I had to pick a player for this team, I'd pick AJ, and then probably a healthy Napier over MW (need more scoring that MW really ever gave).

Napier is a horrendous defender off the ball. Watch him get lost in the paint so he can't close on shooters, and lose his man by going under screens for wide open threes time and time again. There's a reason we suck at defending the three. He's a big part of it. Not the only one, but a big part.

On the ball, he's very good.

these are some of my favorite posts.

Not only is his dad entitled to freedom of speech, but so are we. And if we think his opinion is biased and/or flat out wrong, we are free to speak up and say so. Just as he is free to voice his opinion, we are free to voice ours.

The irony is that you appear to be using the freedom of speech argument to get others to refrain from using their freedom of speech just because you don't like the message.
