OK, you do that.
OK, you do that.
Well, crap.
because most people cheer the opponent at a home game. it's only polite, right?
No, because most people who are OKC NBA fans started out living and dying with Byron Scott, CP3, David West, Tyson Chandler and crew, and will probably remain partial to those guys to some extent until that nucleus breaks up. Don't patronize me.
Well, crap.
yeah i wouldn't want you to ban me for 24 hours like you did last time tough guy
Uh... ...that wasn't me, tough guy. Get your facts straight.
Well, crap.
Not sure that Thunder will be real good this year but they still may be better than the Heat.

Behold! Your OKC NBA... 9/29/2008 02:57 PM Expired 6 whining about reputation Phil
I've never left you so much as a negspek comment.
Just to help you out a little here: Phil is the guy who owns the board. When he gets interested enough in something to give somebody an infraction, they must really be pushing some buttons around here. Tell you what, why don't you send him a PM and call HIM "tough guy." I'm sure he'll enjoy hearing from you.
Well, crap.
After looking at that link, apparently Phil just grabbed the first available post he saw to give you a "whining about reputation" infraction, which equals a one day ban. You were probably whining about it in a PM or something where he didn't have a handy link, so he ended up grabbing one in a post where you were by coincidence disagreeing with me. Heck, I don't know. I'm just trying to help out, since you apparently can't read your own infractions panel.
But besides the fact that a mod using moddy powers on someone they're in the act of personally arguing with in a a thread (as two posters arguing) is verboten, bad form and just plain dumb, I surely wouldn't need to resort to such tactics to win an argument with the likes of you, even if it were OK to do so. Heck, from what I've seen the best way to make you look foolish is to encourage you to post more.
Well, crap.
I vote Dallas. Mark Cuban acts like a spoiled frat boy who whines when someone messes with his toy, so boo hoo to you, but we got the OKC team despite your vote against!
Also, out of historic rivalry purposes, I would say Portland is another good choice, because they used to have a rivalry with Seattle, but now, it is likely that the entire northwest coast area is angry at us for "stealing" their team.
My final choice would be Memphis. They're only a state away (and the Arkansas drive isn't that long), plus, like someone else mentioned earlier, it would be nice to have a rival we could beat
Don't act too desperate for a rival though - it will just happen, much like Baylor suddenly started calling Texas A&M their rival after a flukey two-point-conversion win, or Tech setting up a "rejected little sister school of the state" rivalry with Oklahoma State.
Just wait - some team will punch one of our beloved players, or a coach/player will insult Oklahoma, or some spoiled brat teenage star will insist on not playing for the Thunder. Then, we'll have some real reason to boo
i have never whined about reputation, other than the fact that you can only leave a neutral black spek unless you pay money to the site. i love being in red, because people pay more attention to what you post. i have sent phil several PM's but like a good HMFIC, he never sent one back.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
Like I said, I have no idea why Phil banned you for a day. The explanation says "whining about spek." Has absolutely dick to do with me. Keep trying to contact him if you want to cry about it more, I guess.
Well, crap.
W/o stirring anything up, can someone tell me who or what Spek is?
Like my old grand daddy used to say, "The less a man makes declarative statements, the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect."

Can an admin please delete (or move) all the spek-speak posts (into another thread in an appropriate non-sports forum)?
TIA,

I think Dallas will be a hate game but our rival will probably be Portland. They are young, talented, same division, lots of Sonics fans and playoffs go through them/us.

I missed this before. The ability to leave positive or negative reputation has absolutely nothing to do with sponsorship, and everything to do with the reputation other posters have left for you. In your case, apparently folks around here don't think too much of your posts. Therefore, you are lit up with red (negative) reputation. As long as you are red, you have no power to leave reputation, good or bad, on another poster. Hence the neutral black dot.
But hey, like I said, keep posting your observations steeped in ignorance regarding how this board works. Sometimes dumb stuff can be funny for everybody else.
Well, crap.
Yay, I'm not talking to myself!
However, I would still not declare a real rival until something funny happens. I mean, who ever thought the Knicks would hate the Indiana Pacers? The Knicks have historically been awesome and the Pacers have historically sucked... but despite that, one Spike Lee and one Reggie Miller and 8 points in 8.9 seconds later, or 25 points in one quarter later, a feud was born.
Of course, both teams are meh now, but AT ONE TIME, wow, the hated was spewing every time they met in the regular season or the playoffs.
Other examples include the Bulls and Pistons (The Jordan Rules/Bad Boys era), the Kings and the Lakers (Poor Sacramento), the Jazz and Bulls (no sympathy for Stocton and Malone), etc.
I still think a Memphis rivalry would be fun... but time will tell.
