Could people try to stay remotely substantive and on-topic in threads

[Duke79UNLV77]

So, during a quick lunch break I check on the latest on the Wall thread only to find an ongoing debate having something to do with when Elvin Hayes entered grade school. Other times there will be enlightening posts such as "yeah, it would be cool to get Wall."

It seems people want to extend and extend threads for that sole purpose, without adding anything substantive on topic. This becomes unmanageable for those who are actually interested in something substantive and new and can't spend untold hours wading through the rest.

I'm all for free speech on the board, but perhaps people could show a little focus and self-restraint?

You know what that reminds me of?

The Duke/Maryland game in 1981 when Tom Emma hit two clutch free throws at the end of the game to give Duke a 1 point win. Man, that was great.

I hate bike-riding. It leaves you sore in all the wrong places.

Boy, what a game. 1981... you know what that reminds me of? Phil Collins. I wonder what he's doing these days. Anyone ever catch him on tour? Heck, Genesis counts too. Hey, did anyone ever have a Sega Genesis? Or how about a Sega Saturn? And what does everyone think of the new Saturn commercials? I never realized how fuel-efficient those cars were, but wow!

Hey and speaking of efficiency, you guys think G is efficient enough of a player to be a lottery pick? Chad Forde doesn't think so, but he also thinks G doesn't have a killer instinct, and I seem to remember him hitting many big shots and FTs to seal big games for us this year. You know what I mean? Kind of like when Tom Emma hit those two clutch free throws in 1981 to give Duke a 1 point win over Maryland. Man, that was great.


(...good point by the OP though)

BTW, who is John Wall?

[BD80]

I hear Olek is really tearing it up in pick up games and should be starting at small forward, and could get some time at the point.
