Wiggins 41 points and 2 Assists and Other Take Aways
-
I still feel like Andrew should have dished a few more assists.
Nice back fill.
Next.
-
@jaybate 1.0 As it was stated above and then I re-stated it assist are a two man game. He can make the pass but if others are throwing up bricks, or missing dunks or turning it over then he can’t get any.
Nice back fill uh? I ask for facts and you go with that line with no other argument? Why is that? No proof?
Next? Is that your back up line to “straw arguments”?
Just take your keyboard and go home then you if you don’t want to play.
-
As I use the term, a straw argument posits a position in a discourse to another person that that person did not posit and/or something that is obviously not indicative of his stated thinking, then says that the person is incorrect for positing what he did not posit, nor would posit; this is sometimes done to discredit someone’s POV. Some times it occurs out of honest misunderstanding, but is also sometimes occurs out of disingenuousness.
“They are just your opinions and that’s ok, just don’t try to pass them off as facts why everyone else’s are not legit opinions.”–JRyman
Frankly, I openly “pass” my stuff off as speculations, hypothesizing and opining, not as facts, not as the whole truth. Facts sometimes trigger me to speculate, hypothesize and opine. So: no, i don’t pass my speculations, hypotheses and opining off as facts. Nor do I pass them off as the whole truth, as truth beyond a reasonable doubt, etc. They are my speculations, hypotheses, and opining about things. Not sure why you think that I have to supply “proof” of what I am speculating, hypothesizing and opining beyond what facts and logics I have provided. You are welcome to reject my speculating, hypothesizing and opining based on insufficient proof and/or logical flaws you find, and you don’t even have to explain why. But then I am welcome to reject your response, too. That is the nature of discourse about speculation, hypothesis and opinion, is it not?
Also, let me call your attention to one more thing: If this circumstance were already proven, what would be the point of speculating, hypothesizing and opining about it? Further, I don’t recall ever saying everyone’s opinions were not “legit.” Hmmm. that is kind of a large leap, don’t you thing?
So, I lean toward characterizing this closing assertion of yours as a kind of straw argument.
Penultimately, I found enough of the rest of your premise, assumptions, and reasoning either sufficiently difficult for me to follow that I decided it was beyond my ability and time to unsnag them meaningfully and so respond meaningfully beyond what I have already posted.
But, ultimately, by gosh, I defend your right to post.
In post script, if you reject my speculations, hypotheses and opining for insufficient proof, that’s fine, but please try not mischaracterize what I actually do.
Thanks back to you.

@jaybate 1.0 Really you find my post hard to follow? Really? Beause, well your long winded over usage of non necessary words, that stray from your main point of your post that ramble on longer than most novels are easy to follow??? Really?
-
-
There you go again. I didn’t say mine were easy. I said I couldn’t follow your logic.

@jaybate 1.0
Keep it up jaybate 1.0. I am going to backfill you like these other aliases should be doing. Your posts are bs, jaybate. What proof do you have of anything? Why your posts are long winded and you pass everything you write off as fact, and persons I know say you are argumentative and your feet smell bad, too. And, and, and you’re long winded, novel-like posts, someone needs to tell you are being laughed at in recent meetings of The Quasi-Limited Freemasons and The Walruses, The Sons of Katy Elder and Simulacra’r’Us. Yeah, remember I’m backfilling you, too, jaybate 1.0. But I’m giving you the last word, so when you respond, I can backfill you again. Really? Really? Really?
Bad regards, jaybate 1.0 Prime

@jaybate 1.0
Dido.
I’m backfilling you again.

cough cough ah ummmm

Backfillin’.

Pipe down Francis! And you, too Francis!
Would this discussion have materialized if:
-
Wiggs had four assists?
-
We had won?
-
Gore had won Florida?
-
If D.O.G. spelled cat?
RCJHGKU!
-
-
@VailHawk if my aunt Mary had testicles we’d call her uncle Larry.
-
@JRyman LOL. Funniest post of the month!
-
Boy O Boy, I have revisited this thread every 12 hours just to vacuum the verbiage! Dwight D. Ike and Aunt Mary’s testicles! Whoa-Ho! I hope that one of Wiggins’ family members copies and preserves these fine notes to present for their multimilliondollar son’s amusement, as he nears retirement sometime around his 38th birthday. Jayhawk fandom at its rabid very best!
-
Reality principle, Francis, always the reality principle.
-
But Wigs did only have 2 assists and made no one better. [Self will make sure Wigs does make someone better now, because Wigs will listen now.]
-
KU lost.
-
Bushistas reputedly DID steal Florida and Gore reputedly did sell out for a sweet deal on a pollution biz for going in the tank on the recount and letting the US Supreme Court seal it.
-
I actually met someone that named his cat DOG!
-
And if King Larry gets castrated by a hostile axis of private oligarchy, another axis of oligarchy out of power secretly calls him Queen Mary!!!
Yeeeeeee Hawwwwwww!
I had to work like hell at getting some blood boiling around here, but it looks like it finally worked.
Things were getting too passive around here.
I found the right stick to poke the dogs with.
Yeeeeeee Hawwwwwwww!
41 points and 2 assists.
Never again!!

-
I had met a guy who named his dog D-O-G pronounced deohgie but it sure looked a lot like DOG when he wrote it out.
My wifes boss named his Taxi.

“No one’s bagging on Andrew. Period. This is a case of collective hysteria.”
And I thought I was the only hysterical one in here! I’m serious! I’ve been reading along and thinking everyone in here has it together, and I’m frantically posting out of the bleachers.
Well… I can’t wish harm to anyone, but if others are hysterical, then welcome aboard the “frenzy train!”
The train will depart any minute now… it’s tip-off time!
-
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
We had to get geeked for this game.
Without Joel, fan factor now takes on additional importance.
Forgive me if I bent some noses, but it was essential to get this lighter than air ship waaaaaaaaay high.
-
You’ve been had, Ryman.
-
Can I have a window seat?
-
Howling!!!
-
I think WE ALL talk too damn much-As Mom used to say, “Just praise the Lord & pass the ammunition !!” And lighten this shizz up & let some of it go. Is really not necessary to be either a peckerwood or an antagonist. Just sayin.
After all, we’re all supposed to be on the same flippin side !!
-
@globaljaybird
That’s what I’m doin’, GJ, that is what I’mma doin’.
-
@jaybate 1.0 copy & paste, it’s damn near game time.
-
@globaljaybird
“Just praise the Lord & pass the ammunition !!”
Priceless!
-
@drgnslayr-Gotta share this slayr. Mom’s Granddad lost a leg fighting for the Massachusett Infantry at the Battle of Fredericksburg during the Civil War, at 17 yrs old. He was born at sea in 1844 on an immigration sail from Ireland. Married an Irish girl from Dublin after getting out of a VA hosp about 1865 in Jersey, then they migrated to the Southwest corner of Iowa a couple of years later. Had 13 kids, was a dirt farmer & weaver, & lived well into his 80’s. Is buried with his wife & some of their children on the family homestead/farm outside of Wayland Mo. Mother said hardly a day went by as a small girl she didn’t hear him use that saying.

@globaljaybird
I love to hear stories like yours. Amazing stories about people’s history and how they ended up in America.
So do you have your 'tatoes ready to plant? Saint Paddy is right around the corner!
Yess… Paddy is the right word!
I’m part Welsh. No… I didn’t cheat on paying a gambling debt… just some drops of Cymry blood left behind by my taffer gdad for lineage that didn’t fall out on the stones from a heated conversation!
-
@drgnslayr-Still a little wet to get in the spuds, but I got about 100 onions in earlier in the week.
-
@globaljaybird
I’ve got my 'tatoes sprouting in my kitchen right now… waiting to go in next week.
-
@globaljaybird
And I forgot in haste to add: I try never to be a peckerwood, or an antagonist, and neither do you. Its not who we are.
Oh and they praised the lord and they passed the ammo, GJ, and they played like a team and they won like a team.
Just beautiful.
-
@jaybate 1.0 …And from back in the corner, can I get an Amen?
-
@globaljaybird I said a bunch of amens!
-
@Crimsonorblue22-It never hurts.
