Translation: I've had my ass handed to me in this argument despite my
selective quoting to change the opponent's intent, refusing to address
the central issue, and turning to insults when cornered.

Hey, bro, it's okay to admit you were wrong. Especially since you
were. Just sayin' is all...

Everyone?

LOL Yeah, must be.

Look, your participation in this thread, like the one about Kobe,
illustrates your lack of ability to carry on a reasoned and
intelligent discussion or to admit you're wrong. And, in this thread,
like the one about Kobe, I disagree with you. It's as simple as that.

There is always the one guy who really wants it. However, the drive to win
is not with every team. This Mavericks team should have in no way finished
in the position they finished and should not be playing with as little drive
as they are playing with. This is the second year they have started the
playoffs against a young team with what looks to be very little desire.

This is just as much of a talented team that made it with-in inches of
winning it all.

As I said before Intensity and confidence are fragile things...still does
not mean the 'do not care'...
If you want to wallow in that thought about your team go ahead...

Sounds like you wish to ignore again the perfectly good point.

Thinking they do not care only hurts you. =)

Your self congragulatory attitude and semantical dance is silly at best.

Facts are, some teams "don't care." If you wan't to say " oh, but they do
care, they just care on different levels..." then you are just wasting room
in this conversations.

read above!

As opposed to Kobe words in the same statement writen by laywers not kobe
that said he thought and still thinks it was consensual... and that the DA
had to throw out the case....
At the start of that thread you just flat declared he was a rapist as fact.
Like you were there...

You are not making any points. All you are saying is that technically every
team cares.

Your desperate spin has been amusing.

Translation: Said person did not have a central point. I challenge
(CHALLENGE) you to copy and paste their central point from the above
conversations. They tried to articulate that all teams care to a point...
playing a semantical game that is only that of what trolls do.

I will help you out and post their initial point for you to view "Do not be
silly. Of course they care. No one not competitive by nature even makes this
league."

Everyone has disagreed with said person but you (suspiciously). Must be the
same person, or friend, or family member.

The "central issue," as implied by Laurel, is a logical fallacy.

Indeed, and it could probablly be any number of fallacies; from 'base rate'
to 'negative proof'.

I gave you the opportunity to simply copy and paste the "central point," and
you failed to do so.
