I need to move up the leader boards. My posting habits have dropped off significantly ever since the Nuggets feel off the Earth and Melo took his act to the Knicks.
Sounds like something one would tell their wife, but everyone knows what was really meant. There's only two possibilities when one is "heavier", why not just say which one you're refering to? You may be right about the sweat gear, but you're talking about 20 pounds here. He's probably just trying to get the last 5-7 pounds off. I just find it very difficult to asses one's fat composition from seeing his arms and legs, especially when they've always been a good size to begin with. Looking at the size of his quads though, you can tell he squats or presses significant weight. Same for his arms. Since muscle is pretty dense and therefore heavier than fat, I think it's safer to assume it's mainly the lifting that's increasing his weight and has him at 200-ish. Are you here for Sarah or John O'Connor
This is why we need a 3rd PG in Ish Smith. Now if we intend to add Dampier too should he come around to finally choosing us (what's taking him so long?), you think we should cut Jermaine Taylor? CLee's arrival has really pushed JT to the outer limits of the rotation. What dya all think? It's either him or Jeffries but we need Jeffries' expiring contract at the trade deadline.
Yahoo also reporting lowry with bone bruise, out 2 games. Tests inconclusive on fatness. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=ArTE4IIISsM0qWjzbjyuGsu8vLYF?slug=ap-rockets-lowry
Seriously, Lowry is not fat. That is his body habitus: a guy who is pretty thick all around, so I am not sure he has any weight to lose absent clear evidence that he is currently playing above his normal weight.
KL got the bone bruise after banging knees with JT (I think), not because of his weight. We like Kyle ... get well soon
Add another post, my good tattle taler, and thank you for your great contribution to the get well soon, Kyle Lowry brigade ! Indeed ! :grin: He just follows me around like a lost puppy though......he is..my gimp. Get back in your box, Mr. Clutch...errr...Mr. Gimp !!! Now back to Kyle Lowry's newly found gargantuanism. DD
Yes indeed, get well soon kyle. The team will certainly need you for the season. Might as well take off all the preseason to get better and give ish some play time. Seriously, I don't think kyle is fat but he does seem above avg weight. Just look at the wagon last season. I wouldn't have said he was fat, just thick as a tree trunk. However seeing him now minus 25lbs shows how much extra weight he was carrying. Looks similar to kyle imho.
Come on! It was just a joke. Just pointing out another of your thread derails. All in good fun. Lighten up!
Well played, The Lowry hate/fat comments are merely a play on the crap that Brooks gets.....pretty obvious to see what he is doing if people werent so defensive. Fanboissss neeeed to gooooooo.
What happened was DD's "..." at the end of heavier offended Lowry fans because "..." always has pessimistic implications. When confronted about it, DD says that was his intention which further offends them because it questions their view on reality. They get defensive and attack DD's character which DD understands the least amount of in order to use it against them in a counter-attack. Seeing such personal attacks on antiquated member of the community makes others' defend DD because they project themselves into him, identifying themselves with DD as someone like them. They attack by making it seem as if they're idiots for not seeing such subversive sarcasm and/or projecting their emotions onto the other ppl by asking why are you mad? This is a preemptive strike, trying to make it seem as if everything wrong with the conversation is in the other side and that they're the crazy ones; that any emotions they're experiencing during this argument is "stupid" or "silly" because it's just online, it's just a forum, and it's just a joke. Which is instead of treating them like people and wondering how it got to this place to begin with, that they're not just crazies who randomly went off but that something was the trigger. That would be more productive because it gives you feedback on how others' perceive you rather than trying to manipulate them into feeling/thinking how you want them to feel and override their perception/opinion. It's saying that they're wrong for having that perception which doesn't work because they could turn it around and say you're wrong for having your perceptions as well. The people on the other side of the screen are actually people and not robots or two-dimensional characters. Or not. It's only the internet, it's just for funsies!
Exactly, and also that Lowry has gotten a tad overweight this summer. Not very professional, really. DD
I tried to read this, I really did. I kept having to start over after a few words, and I managed to get past a couple sentences I didn't actually KNOW what had been said. What the bloody **** are you trying to say here?!
