Undrafted bloggers who ended up being superior to Larbrd.

I can't keep up with who you guys deem my archrival from one day to the next.  I think usually it's just some good natured back-and-forth...  no need for the CB "media" to try and turn every person who disagrees with me into my grand Raja Bell rivalry.

But who knows... maybe I have an entire rogues gallery of archrivals that I'm oblivious to.  Which one is my Riddler?  Which one is my Penguin?  Which one is my Two-Face?  I think I have a pretty good idea of which one was my Joker.   I don't actually want the answers.  I can definitively say that CelticThug was my Kite-Man, though.  Kite-Man... the most fearsome of the Batman baddies.

kite man???!!!  ha, ha...never heard of him until now. and who is HIS most formidable nemisis - electrical wire man?

TP to Boris for the laugh also.

On a more serious note, guys like Larbrd help make this blog tick. I may not always agree with his self-proclaimed pessimism, but he undoubtedly does his research, presents data-backed arguments, and acts as a good foil to some other posters.

now that's funny....and I know funny

Funny because it's true.

On the left:  calm, reasonable, rational, full of valid and accurate opinions

On the right:  crazy emotion-based evaluations... Like suggesting David lee can regain his form, or that Jared Sullinger can be better than Markieff Morris, or that Evan turner was one of the driving-forces of our success, or that Marcus smart is easily the most valuable asset on the team... Or once suggesting that rajon rondo might be worth a lotto pick.   The ramblings of a crazy person.   

I think Celtic fandom makes most of us a lil loopy. 

It's actually funny because all those things ARE true.  The fact that you can't see them as rational arguments is just even more funny, and I'd love to see you debate them further.

You automatically act like they aren't true, and since someone has a pro-Celtic, non-pessimistic view, you dismiss it as "the ramblings of a crazy person."

Certainly sounds like a "crazy emotion-based evaluation" to me.

Celtic fandom makes us a little loopy, but there's both people who are biased for the Celtics and people who are biased against the Celtics.

This is why Boris Badenov's post is so awesome/funny/worthy of a TP from everyone.  Maybe it's a coincidence, but it's absolutely spot on that you're biased towards 99% of non-Celtic players and biased against 99% of Celtic players.

Uh all of those Celtic-related opinions are my own.  If I was bias against all celtics players I wouldn't be arguing for keeping Sullinger over markieff morris.  Anyways, I have to admit I was wrong in assuming rondo might be worth a lotto pick, though.  I really overestimated his trade value.  It's the homer in me

Yeah, major knee injuries are a bummer.

I'm still hoping Rondo can return to some semblance of his former self.  I've stopped counting on it, though.

I completely missed that.  Do tell .

Complete lighthearted Ball bust ing, No harm intended. I love larbrd it wouldn't be the same without you that's for sure...

I think this thread earns you the slot of either "Crazy-Quilt" or "Polka-Dot Man" in my growing rogues gallery of archrivals.   Your choice:

Don't forget you saying Marcus Smart is going to be Tony Allen. I'm going to hold you to that. Three years from now, I'll still be on this board reminding you of your projection.

Like Tony Allen, Smart will be coming off the bench, won't be able to make threes, and be a defensive specialist with no handles or finishing skills. Perfect.
