This whole conversation is just a cluster of confusion and bickering...

:jackson:

actually, this is a decent conversation..alot better than arguing about a technicality(that actually DEALS with semantics) that should have been resolved in the 2nd post

correct...but that's an assignment,not a position

it's not semantics...no player ever plays point guard on defense,shooting guard on defense, or any other position

you are assigned to a player, not a position

By "playing" I meant that the same way I meant "guarding"/"assigned to." It is very much semantics or at the very least nit-picking.

It is semantics.
No it's not.

It's a discussion of the factual way basketball players are assigned or not assigned to positions on the floor.


It's not like I'm arguing with someone over if Amar'e Stoudamire though he played the center for the Knicks at the time was really a center or more a stretch 4 in a motion offense and getting heated about it.

We are talking about someone who not only stated Thabo Sefolosha played PF for OKC, but also defended it for posts and in fact answered an affirmative "yes" to the general question of players playing different positions on different ends of the floor.

Maybe you could've saved us all grief and server space by just saying that "Player X was assigned to match up with Player Y but obviously it wasn't working because Player Y was scoring all kinds of points, so now Player Z was brought in as a hopefully better matchup"... :lol:

No, it's just you not knowing jack shit combined with being terrible at using words.

how many posts per page do you have?

i you skim over any argument, it looks like pointless bickering lol

10. Perhaps one day I'll change that. lol

And yeah, I suppose that's true. I was just trying to interject with a joke more than anything.

Depending on who you talk to, there were already many jokes in this thread :D

:obama: there really isn't a defense that even assigns you to a 1-5 position(zone kind of depending on the variation, but zone is not thought of as PG,SG,SF,PF, and C)

again, in man to man you are assigned to a person, not a position

you're trying to circumvent by playing the semantics card..

i've done it too, trust me

Clone here's what you need to know about this thread, it's becoming complicated over something simple.

i just like messing with SP because he misspells everything

btw did you know misspell is one of the most misspelled words in writing?

From what I've gathered...it's an extension of Rami's claim that Thabo played PF for the Thunder. He then said that they have different positions on offense and defense and then said that it's all semantics. FirstTimer is doing what he always does whenever Rami posts...Code is saying what FirstTimer is probably saying, but without being a prick about it. :elephant:

Being lazy when it comes to typing out my thoughts on an internet forum =/= "being terrible at using words." PS- The word structuring of "being terrible at using words" would make any English teacher cringe.

PPS- If I know jack-shit then I wouldn't have picked Miami to win the series and said that they are the better rebounding team.
