Damn I wish jb was here.

[Oilers9911]

Didn't he claim during the early part of the season that the Lakers would win 50 games this season? I gotta look that up.

[Oilers9911]

And here it is.

I see the Lakers winning at least 50 games this season bearing no major injury to Kobe.

We have a young nucleus of players thats getting better. Also we have a deeper bench this year.

[QuikSand]

Wow, you caught jb saying something foolish!

[Oilers9911]

Just bringing up what he predicted. No need for sarcasm.

[RedKingGold]

I heart sarcasm

[Joe]

Hi.


I do not wish jb were here.

[cougarfreak]

Raider good season pre.

[BYU 14]

Quit trying to frame JB, he would have never said something like that...

[Deattribution]

They had Kobe out for about 10, and lost Odom and Walton for a big part of the season, and still won atleast 40 games (with 2 to go). It wasn't that ridiculous of a prediction. I could see if they were a lottery team.

[heybrad]

I could see if they were a lottery team.
They might still get there.

[WVUFAN]

Jeez, the poor guy isn't here, and people are still ridiculing him for statements he made months ago (that, as has been pointed out by Deattribution, aren't all that inaccurate).

Give it a rest already.

[Deattribution]

They might still get there.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of one of bottom 5 teams, which they aren't. Right now they're a 7th seed. Even if they miss the playoffs, it's not because they were so awful.

[FrogMan]

Jeez, the poor guy isn't here, and people are still ridiculing him for statements he made months ago (that, as has been pointed out by Deattribution, aren't all that inaccurate).

agreed. I've made fun of the guy as much as anyone, but nobody needs to go dig a quote that's many months old to do that....

[molson]

The prediction was 50 wins, and they won 40. Not exactly the most ridiculous prediction of all time.

[Izulde]

Yeah this one was a real reach to hammer him for.

[Pyser]

what happened to him, anyway?

did he just slip away, or was there a big sendoff?

[Eaglesfan27]

Yeah he is only 10 games short. So yeah if being off by 20% is considered accurate then that's cool. Also, I will give it a rest if I feel like giving it a rest. You don't have to read it.

[Oilers9911]

Yeah this one was a real reach to hammer him for.

I'd hardly call this a hammering. All I did was mention what his prediction was and that he was off.

[Oilers9911]

agreed. I've made fun of the guy as much as anyone, but nobody needs to go dig a quote that's many months old to do that....

FM

Well he made the prediction at the beginning of the season and i'm mentioning it at the end of the season to see how close he was. Not my fault the season started so long ago.

[WVUFAN]

Yeah he is only 10 games short. So yeah if being off by 20% is considered accurate then that's cool. Also, I will give it a rest if I feel like giving it a rest. You don't have to read it.

You must be high if you think what I posted about Jones is even remotely close to trolling. Hell, it wasn't even flaming, it was a rational discussion. Further, its one in which someone had a good point, and I admitted I was wrong in my defense of Jones.

What that has to do with someone making fun of another user is beyond me.

I think you do really need to smoke something...to relax. It seems like in every thread you are a very, very, angry person. That comment was just to tease you (as is the one before it), and you take it as a personal attack.

[Buccaneer]

After reading the 'doom and gloom' thread at ootp, jbmoron just needs to STFU and disappear from the internet altogether. The world would be a better place.

Some of the same people defending him herer were ripping him (making fun of) in the Raiders thread all season, which led to it being many months after the prediction.

Anyway, I have to at least go along with the crowd that says it's not exactly a huge miss. It's not like his Raiders making the playoffs prediction, now that was downright funny.

[Ksyrup]

The combination of the Lakers actually making the playoffs, this being about basketball, and jb not here to add fuel to the fire conspired to limit the potential for this thread. But don't worry folks, we'll still have the Raiders to laugh at, jb predictions or not.

[Airhog]

I believe the mods boxed him for a few months for repeated personal attacks.

I personally felt that he got the raw end of it. Its gotta be extremely difficult to not lash out at people, when every post you make is criticized, people calling you names, etc. I really just felt sorry for the guy.

[Ksyrup]

I didn't realize he finally got boxed. I know there was a point where his posts were "moderated" at the time he posted them, but I either missed or forgot about his boxing.

[wade moore]

I personally felt that he got the raw end of it. Its gotta be extremely difficult to not lash out at people, when every post you make is criticized, people calling you names, etc. I really just felt sorry for the guy.

The specific post he was boxed for was in a FTB, at a FTB participant, with no attack at jb to trigger it, from a person that to my knowledge never lodged any attack at him before (and i think even defended him on numerous occasions).

[Ksyrup]

Oh yeah, now I remember it. That was very bizarre (even for jb), unprovoked, and out of the blue.

[Oilers9911]

Blasting? You call this blasting? I mentioned his prediction and that he was wrong. I didn't call him names, I didn't do anything of the sort. I just mentioned it. If I thought it was going to get your panties in a bunch I wouldn't have done it. You have a pretty high horse considering some of the shit you have posted in the past.

[Oilers9911]

What does that have to do with this thread? And secondly, what does it really matter to you?

[MrIllini]

I guess maybe Kobe CAN win without Shaq.

[Antmeister]

When people mentioned this, it was always in reference to winning titles, not just making the playoffs. A lot of teams can make the playoffs.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. :)

[Airhog]

The specific post he was boxed for was in a FTB, at a FTB participant, with no attack at jb to trigger it, from a person that to my knowledge never lodged any attack at him before (and i think even defended him on numerous occasions).

he probably just finally snapped then.

And one other thing. This board has gotten a lot less friendly. I remember 3-4 years ago when we first moved to the new board, JeeberD only had 10,000 posts, and there was very little flalming, and it seemed more like a family. *Shrug*

[Desnudo]

That's because everyone is old and cranky now

[Pumpy Tudors]

As I remember it, jbmagic got boxed once for his attack on a FTB participant. I believe he was gone for a month. Almost immediately after his suspension ended, he came back and attacked somebody else, so now it's another 3 months that he's gone.

[EagleFan]

Are we sure it was an actual attack or was it just bad grammar that just made it look like an attack? ;)

[Ksyrup]

Damn, I wish jb was my lover

It's fairly simple, actually. First, you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with jb. Help is available. Just ask. Second, it's easy to find a random post that someone made with a prediction or a statement that hasn't come through. We've all been there--whatever floats your boat, man.

So, back to your original question. It has everything to do with this thread, but it's nothing that I am particularly concerned with on a personal level.

[EagleFan]

Hey Brad

[Schmidty]

Please unbox jb and provoke him to attack me.

Please.

[ctmason]

I kind of feel left out because jbmagic never said anything to me. Probably because I've posted less than 400 times in 7 years.

[Ksyrup]

???? Do you even know what the hell you meant by that?

Nothing personal. Just a combo joke about the thread title and jb's unprovoked attack, which became a subject of this thread. I'm glad someone got it before I got boxed, too! :p

I know I was the inspiration behind his 2nd most famous line said on this board (with the 1st being "Raiders looking good in preseason" related."

Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

For no other reason but to make fun of him. Otherwise you would be bringing up other people's incorrect predictions, but you don't. So, because others make fun of jb, you decide to do so too. That is lame, and a little pathetic.

And it's "blasting" him, too. But, hey, don't let me stop you. Go right ahead and keep on doing on, if it makes you feel better about yourself.

Same here. I saw the comment when it was made, was completely incredulous that he would post something like that, then promptly forgot exactly what it was he posted within about 15 minutes after SD or whomever it was wiped it out. It was so out of line that my initial reaction was that someone had hijacked his account and posted it as a joke or was trying to get him in trouble. Turns out it was him, though, I guess.
