OOTB Carolina Basketball Discussion Thread

It is done.

The best part is he's going to go off on me in some foul-mouthed tirade, when my entire poast is nothing but quotes from him. And the award for least self-aware poaster goes to.....

Be my best friend that was awesome!

If I could articulate the right words I would love to call his ass out every game. Unfortunately I lack that ability and settle for just wanting to bitch slap him.

Well this is going to be interesting.

Serious question- will Garebear hang up the keyboard when Berry is gone?
 
Oh, I know a lot of them read this thread. No doubt about that.
Actually, I don't think Gary reads it. There are a few that do though. Archer pops in every now and then to say hey. Funny thing is his interactions with the OOTB posters on this thread are always civil. I guess something about radar makes people want to fight.
 
He doesn't dunk because he isn't explosive. That's fine and all but what he doesn't do as well that he used to is use his body. He used to be really good at knocking guys a bit and then going up, which was effective.
 
BTW, before y'all get too enamored with this "indefinite = 1" thing, I'd like to politely remind you that Fedora suspended Mike Hughes and M.J. Stewart "indefinitely" and reinstated the former after missing one game and the latter after missing two games, soooo...

A one-game suspension during a 13-game season is a lot different than a one-game suspension in a season that spans over 30 games.
 
@gunslingerdick I was banned from that thread simply for disagreeing with gary, but you really believe the staff teaches our bigs to lay it in? Seems to me Hicks tries to dunk everything. Brice tried to dunk everything. And my whole point was to say that kennedy doesnt even have the explosiveness or ability to dunk a lot and saying its the unc coaching philosopy thats causing it is even more absurd.

Gary acting like he has some inside access to the goings on of our coaching philosophy is astounding. I think you can chalk up the ones who try and dunk a lot and the ones who dont simply to player make-up, athleticism, etc. Putting Kennedy meeks in the same breath with James worthy like he did is just moronic.

I don't know either way. But I know I've screamed at the TV for years when our bigs would lay the ball off the glass instead of trying to dunk it. Zeller is the one I remember most. And there's no doubt he can dunk the ball.

As far as your point about Meeks, I didn't really read all of your comments. But I will say this, you stated your opinion and then got the blowback from gary. Why did you feel the need to continue to press him? So what if he's acting like he has the inside scoop? If you don't believe him, you don't believe him. Let it be. My thoughts on this aren't directed solely at you but for many here that seem to enjoy tearing him down. It's like a few folks here feel they need to save the world from Gary. Of course he's going to respond and then again, a thread gets turned into shit. I could just as easily be lecturing him as I am those here that go over there and have it out with him. But I know you guys (and I'm including you in that now that you seem to be a regular at OOTB). I used to like poasting there. I still would like to. But literally every thread gets destroyed by Gary saying something (valid or not) and then someone from our clan or dadika challenging him on it. It just seems so pointless. I'm not suggesting you don't share your thoughts. But after you share your thoughts, let it go. You or anyone else here aren't going to change Gary's thoughts or poasting style. He is who he is.

Ok. I asked your opinion on the dunking thing, not about how I should or shouldnt interact with Gary or anyone else.

Diatribe completely unnecessary IMO.

I'm going to have to disagree with you about people on this board trying to start something. It's very rare that someone over here gets involved with anything that G7 will post. Yes, that happened around the beginning of last year but there hasn't been that much interaction since then. Almost all of the arguments have come from people over there, not just dadika. You are pulling a Mike on this one.

To add to this,If anyone bothered to read the thread, all I did was ask Gary7 a question about if he truly believed our coaches going back to Dean smith taught layups over dunks, and he had implied thats why Kennedy Meeks, one of our most unathletic bigs ever, doesnt dunk a lot.

So I questioned him on it, and he immediately replied to me in a passive aggressive manner. Not sure why its assumed I was trying to tear poor gary down or anything like that, he does a fine job of doing it to himself.

Seriously, cut it out. I already gave you indefinite warning.

1. You've gone against G7 multiple times, so the major players over there are going to assume that you are just trying to argue with him. There are some people who are considered off limits by other posters and G7 is one of them. You are just going to have to get used to that.
2. There is absolutely nothing passive aggressive about G7, he's just aggressive. Honestly I don't have a problem with that because I prefer someone that is going to be straight up with me instead of beating around the bush.
 
So basically what you guys are saying is Gary7 is a real asswipe??? Don't argue with sad people like that. Instead make fun of them! (I'm joking!)

I've never understood the need to argue over sports UNLESS you're actually on the field or court playing them. I get it when idiots happen like dook's pusshead Grayson Allen but even his lousy ass isn't worth getting heated over.

Oh well...that's my estrogenated opinion on it. Love & Hugs

Well chalk that up as a learning experience for you then. You get more than you ask for with me.

He's a condescending ass, but so are a lot of people on these boards. I can live with that. When I start to have a problem is when he starts making absurd statements and insisting they are facts, like saying a specific official was the reason we lost the national championship game last year. In short, I have a very low tolerance for BS.
