As a passive aggressiveness savant, I definitely agree with your sentiment. I mean, I go hard in tha passive aggressive paint, bawse. The guy has to be smarter about it. There are a myriad of ways to get his point(s) across without alienating the refs. I often wish he'd just turn and speak to Quin after a no-call or a no-continuation situation. Like, "see what I mean". Totally ignore the ref, then walk away. Your point is made and, of they T you for that, they come across as so thin-skinned and petty. But you get your actual point across. Man, shld we start a sports psychology clinic or what?

I agree with this. I just think others do it similarly. I also grade on a curve. Scrubs arguing should not be tolerated so I grade them more harshly.

I have to disagree with you that there aren't guys who are worse. They're just better at it than him, meaning, not as blatant. Don't get me wrong, Trae is bad. Full stop. But he's not the worst, just has bad technique. And it's appalling that Jimi Buttler isn't recognized similarly for his foul baiting. There's no logical reason that people see his as gamesmanship(sic).

*yawn* I'm rooting for Antarctica. I trust their GM, aka @Spud2nique, more than I trust the ghost of Grant Hill 'n them.

I understand not being a fan. I don't understand the absolute vitriol. Honestly, I think that's people who don't actually watch and just assume guys' personalities based off how they hold their face? I mean ... of course I don't do that. Everybody knows Alan Anderson was a jerk with his imminently punchable face.

thought bubble ... (Wonder which circle I fit into? Musta left out the 'dudes I pattern my life after' circle. Yeah, thats where he'd have me.)

I see no proof that's not pirate booty.

Hey, me and the world-class hillbilly have been working through an uneasy peace this year. A JJ/JJ conglomerate would seal the deal.

Hey, I've always laughed at @JTB. It's just that he's in on the joke this time.

Love this level of snark from you, jtb. Keep it up. On another note, I always wonder why the Canadian Football league doesn't expand into the US like our leagues expand into Canadia? Get some US dollars to go with their Canadian ... dabloons or whatever they use for currency in that weird land.

Hillbilly, if we can get their JJ to pair with our JJ, would that woo you back into the Hawks fan fold? I've been saving you a chair at the cul de sac bbq. Folks keep tryna sit next to me tho so It's getting (h)awkward.

- The insiders got together to make their yearly batch of stone soup before a busy trade deadline. - But, this time, an outsider has crashed the party. - J-burd barges in and sees the ruckus. 'Where's the meat? How yall gon have soup with no meat?" - "It's stone soup, burd!" an incredulous insider retorts as he raises a spoon, "its all the rage in Houston this season." - Burd raises her spoon and exclaims, "Bwoy, who ya talk to?" - And calamity ensues....

Six in a hand, half-dozen in the 'nother. You know my motto. I.S.E. Tha evidentz, saffron. Tha evidentz.

What's got more leaks? Hawks front office or the Titanic, post iceberg?

Yeah, needs to get over himself at this point.

@JeffS17 might be a better defender than Bogd.

Heh, that's not the only trash I've seen 'round these parts. But I won't say more out of respect for the dead (the mods).

I'm confused, Jody. Per the eggsperts in the media, Trae is trash. A bad person, a selfish player, and someone a coach like Pop wouldn't want around. ..... but him to SAS makes sense? Weird.

Wait ... so, based on your analysis, we'd win 60 if everything goes right? If "everything went right" with every team, they'd win 60. What are we doing, supes? You're killing your trade value, brah.

It's a lie to say the only way to be successful with a player is to have one other type of player with them.

Yep but, sadly, @RedDawg#8 is right. We're rebuilding whether we know it or not. And since we got no picks to tank with, this is not a rebuild 'by default'. It's the rare rebuild by 'the fault'. As in, all this sh*t is the fault of shoddy management and (cl)ownership. I'm basicslly the hawks on this subject. I have no defense .... (its ok to lol then cry).

We're on the precipice of a bumfumbling of epic proportions. Theres no reason to believe this FO and (cl)ownership is capable of navigating these waters. Perhaps the most perplexing part is a large percentage of the board is actively rooting for it to happen. It's gonna be weird watching all these 'fans' turn on JJ in the coming seasons.

Yeah them sphincters were tighter than my dress shirts on Saturday nites in the 70's. Oh sorry, thought you said 'Bawb'.

Bbbbut ... trade Trae. Smh

See, you're not all bad after all. I got a mild chuckle outta this. Tell 'em, cyde! Tell 'em! Thas how it werx, baybee!
