    Maybe I should have kept my opinion to myself. I was curious to see other people's thoughts on my opinion. That is what a message board is for. It's easy to see some disagree. Not once have I said any one person is terrible, but you must have to be pretty insecure about your game to get so butt hurt about my comment.

    I think it is cool that Clutchfans are getting together to play hoop...

    But in defense of Captain Dallas, if you post video of it on here, and it is not exactly stellar balling, I would guess some criticism of the video and level of play could be warranted.

    It is the internet, if you post a video, expect to get some smacktard criticism of it.

    Trust me, I know.

    Sounds like some underlying bitterness to me. Let me guess... high school basketball player? Pretty decent? Never got that scholarship though eh? Don't worry though, you can still show up at a pick-up game and school all the punks who think they know what it takes to play real team ball. That'll show those college coaches who didn't think you were good enough.

    Let it go man. We're just some uncoordinated dudes having a little fun playing some truly sub-par basketball, I don't see anybody in this thread claiming that we're all-stars. Some people take it way too seriously.

    Bottom line is, we're the ones out there in 104 degree weather playing ball. If you can't hang... then shut the **** up.

    Any reason we can't just play basketball. I just want to show you that you will not be bringing my **** back. Thats all. No need for this other stuff but if you feel the need to, I can play that game too.

    Clutch, you might as well close the D&D section if following this dude's logic.

    Better yet, he'd make the perfect D&D mod. "You have never been, therefore I find humor in your opinion in such things..." always goes well in any debate.

    Chuck Hayes is a professional athlete and one of the best basketball players in the world. So regardless of whether or not I can shoot a free throw, it is funny that he can't.

    And let's not get too cavalier about throwing elbows. No one here plays rough, and if you do, you won't be welcome.

    Everyone criticizes, all of us do it. My pet peeve is what I let be known in this thread. I was seeing if anybody shared my same opinion. I guess not and thats ok with me. No need for people to question my state of mind. I have no problem with anybody. I think Moes comments were actually pretty funny but we come on this board to agree and disagree. Im thinking I shouldn't have said anything and I do respect what Clutchfans is all about or else I wouldnt be posting on here. If you dont want to be criticized though, dont put a video on here. DONT DISH OUT WHAT YOU CANT RECEIVE.

    Ok and once again, I stated that my opinion is my opinion. I can laugh at the people who claim "Trevor Ariza sucks" or "Jared Jefferies shouldnt be in the NBA". I understand my opinoin would not be agreed on by many. I think the thing about sports that makes it so interesting are the people like Woody Paige or Skip Bayless who talk so much trash. I regret saying what I did, because apparently it hit the wrong nerve today.

    And I agree with you. Would you find it funny if your friend went out to the golfcourse, took 20 swings at the ball and didnt touch the ball once, and then later said Tiger Woods sucks because he missed the fairway on the first hole? I sure would. But hey thats ME(my opinion).

    Well, Tiger Woods get paid millions of dollars to play. My friend has to pay to play. Clearly, I have different degrees of expectations for both of them.

    dude, I think people have the right to laugh at guys getting paid millions failing at their job.

    like, i might suck at architecture, but i will laugh balls if I.M Pei designs a dick-shaped skyscraper.

    (as a random aside, if it's not your opinion, who's is it? we don't need to know that it's your opinion unless you happen to be Dr.Jekyll or otherwise possessed by evil spirits.)

    I dont mean to attack anyone. I did though through my comment and probably should not have said anything. Just my opinion. People could have ignored it and left it in the past.

    Well honestly that is something I would laugh at. It seems we just have different perspectives on what is funny. Ok, enough said.

    Its cool man, personally I didn't think you were trying to be a dick, and what you said is partially true. It is somewhat funny when you rag on a guy like Trevor Ariza when you're a fat, un-athletic guy who can't even make it up and down the court more than a few times without needing a sub, but at the same time that really has little to do with being able to judge his performance as a basketball player.

    We're really just a group of dudes having some fun, making nerdy BBS jokes, talking sports, and attempting to play some ball.

    Join us anytime... just watch out for Kam... he sure scared SCK off.

    Honestly, exactly what you said is what makes things funny to me. It is how my mind works. I find that funny. I respect you guys for playing something that you love and not quitting even if you weren't blessed with the talent that god gave Lebron. I really didn't mean to come off as a dick but im sure I did. So I apologize and should not have given off my opinion. I never said you shouldnt make fun of someone because you lack the skill at a certain sport. I just said its funny to me when people do.

    I would love to play Kam without the elbows. If im ever around Houston when you guys play, I will make sure to show up and let everyone know who I am.

    Ok ok ok.

    I figured it out.

    Yesterday, someone showed up at the court. Maybe it was him.

    He went directly to the other end instead of coming to us.


    Was that you tmacfor35?

    BTW- CCR's jumpshot looks pretty smooth to me.
