It is easy to criticize when you are sitting on your sofa (probably a good 30 lbs. overweight) and shoving pizza/chips/pretzels down your throat only to wash it down with swigs of beer! **And probably NEVER played the of basketball at the D-1 level**

But, I digress; if the spirit moves you then please keep right on criticizing as you see fit.

Just go outside to {fart} next time!

:):D;)

No use in arguing

Three pages into yet another bickering crap-fest thread and the above four words hold truest..... for both 'sides'

Sadly, you guys insist on going around and around in circles fighting dearly to prove meaningless points with little validation.

Anyone would think the Heels were 1-9 the way this fan base is acting!

It's not the team I have an issue with, I'm pretty satisfied with things so far, it's some of the comparisons being made.
 
If this thread had started with an OP of:

"Great game by Maye last night- it was great to see him play so well when Carolina needed someone to step up"

instead of
"ENOUGH SAID" (bold was there by OP, not my emphasis)

It probably would have been nothing but nice things. However, when OP came out of the gate bowed up, inevitably chaos followed.
Did not say enough said!

The thread was not started with enough said. Bold was by accident as I get use to this smart butt phone! :-(

Correct. My fault.

It said "Any more questions?"

My point remains.
 
So if he's not comparing them, what is the point of even bringing Hansbrough up? Because they have similar size and skin color?
Unless you are wanting to pick a fight anyone could plainly see he was strictly talking about hustle. that so hard to see? We all know Hans was one of a kind. Why can't you guys just say thank you Luke and move on?
 
Unathletic is a relative term. Hansbrough was called unathletic compared to NBA lottery draft picks. Maye would be called unathletic compared to starting 4s and 5s for top tier P5 teams. However Maye is more athletic than any 4 or 5 on Davidson.

You are the one who brought up Hansbrough with very little explanation. Seems a bit much to get aggressive with people who made a response that misunderstood your unstated point but which was otherwise completely in line.

If those responses had been more civil, and not included words like "stupid," "lazy," "lame ass," and insinuated that I was basing it on race, then they may have not gotten aggressive responses back from me. Those are completely in line? There is no reason for that BS, and I see no reason why I should take it without throwing flames of my own. Some of these "fans" on here don't think anyone's opinion but their own has any validity.
 
I'm not expecting a damned thing. I replied to Mike's post, not yours. But since you brought it up, I imagine Luke will continue to get significant minutes vs any and all competition, as he should. And yeah, you do have a narrative --- a pretty persistent one, in fact --- that anyone who doesn't come to UNC with big * ratings can't play against "big time competition".

gary, hope ya realize, you are being baited in to a conflict by a conflict "master" baitor...

Look, some of this is just a brand new low water mark for silliness, no one is comparing Luke to Hansbourgh and no one is saying Manley will be the second coming of Jamison. That is just a couple people pulling out snippets of words some have tried to use and spinning them in to total silly nonsense and claiming well this person said this or that. It is nothing more than a need to start a conflict, to carry on the BS from the off season and take joy in disruption. You cannot have a reasoned discussion with folks like that gary and especially you of the insult me, I am gonna show you an insult son. LOL

My suggestion is not to wade in to the cesspool because we all know where that ends up, exactly where some want it to, knee deep in waste.

Need to stick around more often you might learn something.

Why not start me off with a link to a thread where someone said Luke Maye didn't deserve to wear a Carolina uniform?

The one caveat is that it can't be a game thread because people say all kinds of silliness in those threads- if I have learned nothing else in 13 years on this board, it is that.
 
Thanks to everyone on this thread for getting my morning started with a chuckle. "fart" and "master baitor" on the same thread it just don't get any funnier than that.

Calling a spade a spade is picking a fight? C'mon mike, If "anyone" could plainly see that he was talking about hustle, then:

A) Why did a good number of people immediately call him out
B) Why did his following posts continue to push Hansbrough/Maye comparison:

And like Butter posted (Which of course, went completely unnoticed):

"I mean wouldnt it be easier to just say "I think Luke can get a lot better and has a higher ceiling than most believe" rather than throwing around Tyler Hansbrough and Larry damn Bird as your comparisons? Might give you a touch more credibility."

No disrespect, but it's pretty sad that some of these (poasters/posters/poe toasters) refuse to be held accountable for their own words and get mad when people call them out for it. Even worse is that many of them need others to rectify their insane statements. It's like dealing with children who can't be accounted for their actions.
And tbqh, if this was meant to be a Luke Maye appreciation thread, you really could've fooled me, because it started off like yet another "call out the nasayers" thread.

To at least try to address the targeted topic:

Any "beatings" Maye took here after IU are a bit unfair. Not like they're chumps. Without the FW loss, they'd be #1 right now.

Plus, dude was zero games removed from an injury. I think had he gotten to come back against Radford or Davidson, we may not even be having this conversation. JMO.

1. Don't get defensive when we get on you for comparing our legends to our 7th-8th men off the bench, when you say stuff like "Hans was also unathletic " (which he wasn't) and "I see a lot of Jamison in Manley". You're opening yourself up to it.

2. If it was just IU, we wouldn't have killed Maye. However, it was the entire ACC slate last year as well. Let's see what kind of game he has vs UK. Hope for the best, not expecting it though.

3. Shun is easily the best poster on this board, we can all agree there.
 
Good Lord!

And yet you "naysayers" should be allowed to spout off anything you like? 2 way street.
 
It is clear to me that a few newish peeps need to go back where they came from. I moved from TOS when I couldn't take entire cliques that insist on turning every thread into a personal attack and never talk actual UNC bball.

There just is no way a sane adult acts like this unless they are a troll! If the intent was to cause disruption, then Mission Accomplished Mr. Wuffie/pukie/kitty! (wish you had the cajones to just admit who you are, though) Hopefully, you have made your Mamas proud.

I will not be driven from another home, but if anyone knows somewhere where they actually talk bball, I'm willing to branch out!

Talking about our player's strengths and weaknesses is talking bball. Not trolling. Honesty does not equal trolling.
