Real Deal

Nah, I just saw the profile comment. Clutch was banned for more than what was going on in that Mo/Westbrook topic...after I made my post in here, he was posting on Matt's profile. I just did a simple search of all the posts and noticed that there were a few in profiles that were unnecessary, plus more on the forums (mainly from Matt). Both were suspended, but since Clutch was already banned before, that suspension was it for him.

You're suspended for five days, for a personal attack on his profile page that I had to delete, plus 2-3 other personal attacks across the forums.

Now he's gone, on my time. And if you left the site because of him, you can stay gone as well.

I thought I made a post about this already. See ya.

Post more like you're debating the topic and not talking to your best friends on a drunk night. That's also a final warning. I've made it clear to everyone, so now things will get right, or else I'll make them right on my own.

You can read each of my replies on the subjects in the links above. Now, if I need to go quote every single post from him, and then every single post from others starting [expletive] with him, I will. No non-staff member on this site has any say in whether a topic is legit or not. No one. I pick staff members to do that, not everyone else. My registration page doesn't question your IQ when you sign up. Additionally, new members don't need the approval of anyone else when they register, unless I've turned admin approval on for all accounts. I've banned a few guys who I can say were definitely on the weaker side of many, many debates...but, for some reason, were favorites here because of the way they post, so let's not start giving lame excuses as to why you'd want a member banned. My dedicated members will stay. Five years of this, and it's well-known that dedicated members endure. This isn't even an individual problem, though. This is a problem with acceptance, and there is nobody here that makes that decision other than me. You run this board, you pay for it, then you do it. If that's not the case, you're SOL. If you want someone banned, and you're not on this staff, you better quote the guideline(s) being broken, provide examples of this (along with links), and prove that nobody is baiting that member into it. If the moderators have to do that, so do all of you. I'm going to assume this won't be a problem anymore. In fact, I suggest that it isn't. Everyone involved needs to man up and get over it, stop throwing hissy fits, stop taking indirect shots at each other, stop posting ignorant and irrelevant posts, and stop causing trouble here. I don't have time for it, and I won't make time for it much longer.

Four for Arenas, three for Jennings. Legit topic. I would've said Jennings earlier, but it's tough for me to go with that now. He's just too inconsistent shooting the ball. The only problem, though, is that so was Allen Iverson. So, in that case, I have to look at Jennings' overall impact. He doesn't give the Bucks 30 points a night, like Iverson did for the Sixers, so the comparison is off to the right at this point, and I have to go with Arenas, even though he's really not shooting as well, either. This is removing his suspension and his gun charges from the discussion, by the way.

Four votes for Williams, five for Westbrook. Looks like this is a legit question as well. Williams is the former All-Star point guard (although he wasn't exactly selected), but Westbrook is a better defender and does more with the ball, despite the big turnovers he makes during the game.

How are the Jazz more relevant than the Hornets? Utah is 22-17, the Hornets are 21-18 after going 8-2 in their last 10 games. David West tries to play defense. Boozer is terrible on that end of the court. It's a good comparison, really, and it's no surprise a Jazz fan thinks that West is the better player, as he's watched Boozer more than anyone else here.

Most of Jackson's catches were with Revis elsewhere on the field. I'm going to just say that Dallas Clark better be ready to catch a lot of passes next weekend, because I don't see Reggie Wayne dominating.

Raptors are maintaining the lead! :o

I don't know why, but those slow-motion replays of Romo getting drilled are cracking me up. My brother is laughing like crazy, also, so that helps, LOL.

Could've given more. Tiger is said to be giving $3 million, and Sandra Bullock donated $1 million already.

Hibbert did great...double-double with a few blocks...but Granger was a no-show, and it hurt the Pacers big when they were looking for shots near the end of the game.

BARON DAVIS NEEDS TRADED. What a loser.

He also let a pass slip right through his hands for a pick, although the game was already over. That pass was a bit high, but he had it go right through him. One of those interceptions was Rice's fault. But, really, the Ravens should've put up more than just a FG anyways, no matter who was catching, running, or throwing the ball.

The refs changed this game? It looked to me like the Ravens were beaten by the better team. Manning played great, nobody could cover Wayne, and Rice couldn't keep the ball in his hands.

Well, today, he gave the Saints a good reason to keep him.

I have an idea: Orlando should bring in another shooter so they can limit Howard to three shots per game. That would be a super awesome idea. The Magic refuse to throw the ball down low enough already. There's no reason to make it a chuckfest with Carter, Arenas, and Lewis launching from 23 feet out 35 times a game.

LOL. Not that exciting of a game. Durant didn't want to miss any jumpers, though, but nothing spectacular from him or Wade as far as SportsCenter plays go, haha.

Man, Duncan screwed up big on that rebound and attempted pass out to Hill. Randolph has been HUGE for the Grizzlies late in this game. Chalk up another loss for the Spurs.

Second. Martin played the last game. And it didn't work again tonight. Pathetic shooting once again by K-Mart, and he's holding Evans and the entire team back.

Wow, talk about getting crushed. Nash was a non-factor, and Charlotte is 16-4 at home, and 8-2 in their last 10 games. :o

Why does Jennings even shoot the ball?

He retired.
