Washington - Orlando @ 8th Spot

[MC Hao]

I wanna see the Knicks do it again, squeeze in the playoffs as the 8th seed and go to the finals!!

[Colin]

Thinking the Knicks will be in the playoffs, WRONG. Although thanks for making me laugh, while you're dreaming can you use a wish on me, I'd like a mansion with a full size indoor court and olympic size pool, maybe 5 TV's in my bedroom. Appreciate it.

[MC Hao]

See, Andrew, this is one of those stupid posts we don't need in this forum.

WTF? Stop posting useless comments.

Come on, let's not start another argument in this thread.

Once again, I'm not starting anything, WTF is an expression which should be against the guidelines since we all know what it means.

You, MC Hao, better stop using that language around, if you don't want to see my post stop looking at them and post something useful yourself.

It's not the first time you use it and I see you keep posting against others using that language. Plus you have been trying to start an argument as well. I've been trying to avoid it but it would be very helpful for both to argue without using those words, since I haven't used any to offend you or haven't asked you to shut TH up.

[MC Hao]

"WTF" is a common word in this forum, old or new. I am not the first one to use it, I am not the only one to use it, why are you telling only me to stop using it? Is it because we have some indifferences in our opinions or are you trying to make it personal?

Right, your post was useless, and I expressed my opinion. I have the rights to do that. And you have the rights to express your opinions.

if you don't want to see my post stop looking at them and post something useful yourself.

If you don't want to see my post then stop looking at them and post something useful yourself.

I'm not starting anything

I didn't say you are, Andrew didn't say you are, so what's the problem? Quit hitting me with those cheap shots.

[scubilete]

why are you telling only me to stop using it? Is it because we have some indifferences in our opinions or are you trying to make it personal?

No, but if you check. I'm not asking you to shut up, or stop posting or anything like that. You are using those expressions together with your comments which make it personal. You don't have the rights to ask anyone around to shut up or stop posting whatever they want to post, cause they are free of doing it, as well as anyone else in the forum, including yourself. If I asked you to stop using that language is because you are doing as a personal offense since you used it together with your request asking me to stop posting "useless comments".

I don't have any different opinion than yours, since you believe the Bucks can make it this year. I don't think it is because our opinions are different.

Right, your post was useless, and I expressed my opinion. I have the rights to do that. And you have the rights to express your opinions.

However, yours was worse, since you did it to cause more flame around. Now, I agree, you have the rights to express your opinions, so I did express mine. However, your opinion was asking others to stop posting or expressing their opinions. Is that what you call your opinion?, Well so I did expressed my opinions and I will not stop doing it as far as I want.

I didn't say you are, Andrew didn't say you are, so what's the problem? Quit hitting me with those cheap shots.

Well, I just explained you are the one who is starting it. I'm not hitting you with any cheap shots since you are the one who is asking others to stop expressing their opinions.

[GloveGuy]

I hope that some way the Wizards, Bucks, and Magic make it. Maybe if the Hornets go on a slump. MJ and GP are my two favorite and for T-Mac just deserves to get there. I hope New Orleans choke.

[Andrew]

Once again, I'm not starting anything

I know, I wasn't trying to admonish, but I do recognise potential for a flame war, so I thought I'd through the fire blanket over it before anything got started.

[MC Hao]

If I asked you to stop using that language is because you are doing as a personal offense since you used it together with your request asking me to stop posting "useless comments".

How is WTF a personal offense? It's just a genneral saying. Like I see something that I don't know what it is, I say WTF. It's not a personal offense. If I said F U that would be a personal offense. I don't know how your logic works.

However, your opinion was asking others to stop posting or expressing their opinions. Is that what you call your opinion?,

No, my opinion was your post was useless. You missunderstood.

you are the one who is asking others to stop expressing their opinions.

Once again, it's your missunderstanding.

You don't have the rights to ask anyone around to shut up or stop posting whatever they want to post, cause they are free of doing it, as well as anyone else in the forum, including yourself.

And you have the rights to tell me what not to do? Who gave you the rights? What, God made you a higher being than me that you have the rights to tell me what not to do and I have to follow? If that's the case, I'll follow whatever the hell you say. But is it?

However, yours was worse, since you did it to cause more flame around.

I had no intensions to cause flame, you took it the wrong way.

I am not gonna talk to somebody who takes it the wrong way everytime somebody else says something. I'll just walk away from this and be mature about it. It is not even worth my time typing another respond to this non-sense.

[Andrew]

In the interest of fairness, if I'm going to defend Clinton's right to respond to a post with only an emoticon, I have to defend Scubilete's right to respond with an emoticon being crucified (and no, I didn't think I'd ever say that as webmaster of the NLSC ).

There has been no act of cross purposes committed, so there's no reason for ill-will. Let's stay on topic guys.

[scubilete]

Right. This is not a case of taking anything the wrong way, if you read what you wrote, you were clearly asking me to stop posting my opinion which on your understanding was useless. However, I'll let it go this time.

That emoticon was related with refuze comment who said the wiz needed a miracle.

In other notes, like stated before, the Wiz should look at the Bucks as a target, since they have possesion of the 8th spot at the moment but they keep losing games which is not a good sign. Last nite they did it against the same Bucks which is bad. If they have won, they would have been back in the race but they didn't.

[Bill Russell]

I think the Wizs will make the playoffs in spite of the Bucks...

[Andrew]

That loss to the Bucks will make it a little more difficult though, since Milwaukee now holds the advantage if it comes down to a tiebreaker. Of course, that won't matter if the Wizards can overtake the Bucks. I wouldn't count them out just yet.

[Drex]

These 3 teams are in the East so....
WTF is going on in the East....the 3 top teams (Indiana, NJ and Detroit) are losing games, and Philly is winning , but the Playoffs are close and they can't be playing like that. They're gonna get crushed in the Playoffs.
Are they tired of what??

[Andrew]

There are rumours of a rift between Byron Scott and Jason Kidd, which could be affecting the Nets' performance. Artest has been a distraction in Indiana, and Rip Hamilton has been accused of being too selfish in recent times. Or it could just be fatigue as you said.

[Drex]

Kidd played very bad in the Nets-Rockets game. And, of course the Nets lost the game.
