You do know? I had a career on tanks in Bosnia and Iraq as a 19K military veteran. Dont act like you own the world in your supermax. This is not with your buddies in some contained environment. There is real world. As men you need to respect my place and yours. Dont start out with threats. This is only you and these guys starting up this conversation like this. Your threats are gonna fall on deaf ears and not close my mind one bit. You want to shut me up but your talking is not gonna work. I am not bluffed by you. You dont know who I am either. You better stop talking like that right now.
That's great, but I already did time in Desert Storm, so posting that you were prior military isn't adding much to your point...it really only adds to mine, as most service men, especially in the grunt side of things, talk crap all day long... Secondly, you think Prison is a controlled environment? So when I'm on a rec yard by myself, and there are anywhere fron 150 to 200 inmates, I've got it easy? LMAO Prison is as real as it gets man...I never felt as uneasy on the ground in Iraq as I do everyday in prison... 4000 inmates vs 200 officers...yeah, I got it made in the shade... Respect is EARNED not given... LMAO, this is to damn funny... I see you completely missed my other post...understandable, as small as the post was...
The first person who brings up "in real life" on an internet thread where they are getting intellectually owned, loses. Regardless of their stated career path.
ummmm... Respect cannot be taken...it's not a physical object... Just out of curiosity, are you legally r****ded, or just pretending?
Though this was a basketball board..lol..anyway I think this means that morey isn't going to make a big splash this trade deadline.. probably waiting till the off season..
You might be beyond hope my friend. I don't even really know what you are trying to say there in the bolded section. I basically have proven everything you have claimed to be true to in fact be false. You have started off every response to me with I agree, but then it somehow devolves into Ariza starts so Ariza is better with no proof to back up the claim. And the icing on the cake, you claim that ariza has ALWAYS been a starter when in reality he has started in only 177 of his 437 career games. 71 of those as a Rocket and 54 this year with NO, meaning prior to coming to houston he had a whopping 52 starts to his name. Courtney Lee has started 108 of 204 career games. And at no point during last season did trevor ariza start over kevin martin when both were healthy. Thanks for playing. Its time to hit the bars
Sure it can be taken. If you step up and you fall i took it. Desert storm makes you an old man right now. I am not some old military geezer out of my prime. If you cant respect my service in Bosnia and iraq you cant be military and your full of crap. No service man disrespects anothers service person as a person who doesnt command some sort of respect. You are called on it. I am the only military veteran here. At least out of me and you. If you are military I respect your service in the Gulf War. You are not though.
Apologies to the other posters. Should not have allowed others to force me into this back and forth in light my former occupation that should have taught me to uphold an image cleaner than this. Doesnt mean violater is military. Other military veterans dont lose complete respect for other veterans service. Thats not how veterans respond to each other. If he is I respectfully apologize and honor his service to our country as should every person to all that have served in these places. Good night.
also for your information. One last bit??? Impersonating military veterans is bad for your image too. 19K is not a grunt. 19K is tankers. Grunts are ground troops. We are vehicles. Grunts are also usually Marines like my uncle was. You are not military. I was never a grunt as tank operator and neither were you. You are not a Desert Storm veteran unless you are pretty old doing a Supermax job. Thank you good night. I had to add that because its not right to be putting your accomplishments next to mine if you arent the real deal.
19k is a crewman, I know exactly what a tanker is, as I work with a few guys that were tankers...both Army and Marine And 19K isn't the real term, what MOSC level are you? and what unit size did you serve under... You mean "armored?" lol @ vehicles I know I wasn't a tanker, I was Intel when I left...I have no confusion on what I did as a job... I was making a generalization, but apparently you didn't see that. Desert Storm ended in 91, technically in Oct of 92 if you are counting any type of military involvement associated and timelined with Desert Storm , you act like we are talking about WWII...lmao 19K is your JOB code, not your accomplishment... I'm still waiting on your answer to my post about Ariza and Lee...
I didnt get your post about Ariza and Lee. I consider all conversations from before this point washed away considering you may be a veteran. Have a good night and god bless then sir.
If Morey is seriously thinking about the long term big picture then he needs to shed the fat off the team, show some patience with the young players, and acquire a few more draft picks. Then take those draft picks and acquire some talented athletic young players big enough to defend the rim. There's plenty of bigs to choose from in this years daft. Several Euro players such as Jonas Valanciunas, Jan Vesely, and Donatas Motiejunas could eventually fill out to play the 5 spot. The you have guys like Jeremy Tyler, Trey Thompkins, or Perry Jones that have the potential to be impact players at the 5 as well. Again, shouldn't we acquire more draft picks and go after the young talent? Let's face it, we're not in the running for a Dwight Howard type player so why keep prolonging mediocre teams.
