Can you tell everyone who started at SF in the Final Round in 2019 for Team USA? Or nah?


Your blood thirst has you jumping out of the pocket. We are talking 2023 Team USA. There are 2-3 guys who would start for Team USA in 2023 ahead of Brandon and those guys are mostly 10 years older than him.

Brandon was also coming off the major healthy scare, if memory serves me correctly. That 2019 team also finished 7th , so one could say their starters weren’t great, probably lesser players than Brandon Ingram in 2023.

Your argument is very weak.
How many other American wings are starting over Brandon in 2023? Since you’ve dodged the question I asked before.

Fair warning: I won’t check back for your replies until 7pm CST at the earliest. But I will respond to you reply. Family first.
quote:

Can tell me how old the other 4 starters were? Or would you like to deflect and crawfish from that question. Go ahead, other 4 starters ages, what were they?


Jesus Christ shel the implication was wing players in the nba. Ingrams position. Hence why another post to respond with a list of wings. This is you being obtuse.
quote:

Kawhi, Tatum, and Jimmy Butler are no brainers. Booker, Edwards, Jaylen Brown, Paul George, and Donovan Mitchell would probably get the nod over Ingram



Half of those aren’t wings. Paul George had a career altering injury playing for team USA so he’s out. Kawhi Leonard is never healthy enough to play in the summer. Jaylen Brown no, but I can see some people going for him. As for Jimmy Butler, maybe I think Ingram is a better passer than he is.

ETA: Bridges is a coin flip, I’ll give you that.

5 dudes started a game last night. None were 35. But according to you, BI is the only non 35 year old who could do that, not the other 4 that did that just 12 hours ago...while you talk up your basketball I


It’s not crawfishing, it’s your lack of understanding.
That is the most ridiculous comprehension of what I posted.

I never said 35 year olds start for team USA, the implication being 35 year old Durant and LeBron would be the first choices of Team USA in a hypothetical.

quote:

No one knows WTF you're talking about now, weird shite from you here.


You took a blood oath to give me the full court press from now until the end of time…on a thread you had tanked. So I was asking you, Is this the (your)full court press?
quote:

There was a game involving Team USA last night. A basketball game. In a basketball game, 5 guys start. That basketball game last night, 5 guys started. Wanna guess how many were 35 year olds? Go for it, take a guess.




You realize I’m saying 35 year olds don’t start for Team USA right? But in a hypothetical were the best of the best play-that LeBron and Durant over him, right? There are maybe 2 others American wings who would start over Ingram.

Maybe slow down and comprehend.

Sometimes the full court press gets a team burned.
quote:

Poor fella is absolutely clueless that there was a game where Team USA was involved 12 hours ago while talking up his basketball IQ


So is this the full court press? Who else would you have starting over BI for Team USA?
quote:

None of this makes any sense.


Name the other American SFs who start over Ingram who are not 10 years older than him.

Tatum is one. Who else?

quote:

Yep and I will keep doing it that way

Clearly.
quote:

I've explained over and over. People just don't want to see it. Not my fault.

You haven’t done anything to even approach a quality argument.
quote:

I'm just not getting banned for being a part of a conversation where you are casually throwing out hate speech/terms. I don't want to be associated with any of that. That's always been why I avoid you when you start spinning out.


What hate speech have I used? How are you defining hate speech? If I throw out hate speech why am I not banned?

I popped in this thread and saw the gang bang going on and wanted show some support at first, but you wanted 51 to 1 instead of your normal appetite of 50 guys.
quote:

But I appreciate the well wishes, as insincere as they appear to be. I'm glad we can leave on good terms.

It is sincere as your post claiming ingram is regressing and will be retired by 30.

I am glad you are positive. But we aren’t leaving, are we?
quote:

That lack of self awareness though...he has no clue Tatum is the only other one he said.

Is this the full court press? Who else would you have?
quote:

What are you talking about? I've been posting on here over 10 years. Why should I leave?



What are you talking about? I was giving you positive support. These others guys were abusing you. I was at least passing you the lube.
quote:

Seriously, we all see that is totally off base and in no way true. But it just slips by..

Is Brandon Ingram starting for team USA? Yes.
Are most of the guys on that level (LeBron and Durant) older than him? Yes. Tatum is probably the only other SF that would start for team USA.
quote:

But you really don't have a clue.


I don’t say this to be mean, but to say that my NBA IQ is evidently and vastly superior to yours, in every way, is an understatement.

quote:

I normally never respond to you, .



You respond to me when I want you to. I take it easy on you because you’re very fragile, defensive even about your terrible posts, that you routinely double down on.

Fact of the matter is, you call it critiquing Ingram, who is starting for Team USA, when really you’ve spent years shitting on him…ie not bought in. Now you’re claiming that he’s past his prime(which he is just now entering) and will be out of the league in 4 years.
After supplying bad evidence, you pat yourself on the back for making “bold ”predictions …it’s talking head syndrome.
quote:

You think it's a 100% certainty he makes it 5 more years with no injuries or 'degenerative' conditions holding him back?


That you attempt to back the counter argument into “100% certainty” when you are making the claim he is out of the league with the “numbers being on your side” despite no hard explanation on why he would is a bad faith argument.

Why are putting degenerative in quotations, here? To negate that this board pointed out your bad evidence? To mock the counterpoint? There has been no diagnosis thus far of any degenerative issues for Ingram.
You’re just babbling here.


quote:

because you are just mean and toxic

Meh, I don’t spend my time on this board shitting on players (for the most part)… & anyone who’s met me knows I’m diehard Pels fan who is the type you want to watch a game with. I’ve made fans of the Pels when people watch with me. But this is you making it personal, not me.

I will say this again, you could monetize your low IQ basketball takes. Seriously. A quick misspelled meme or bad faith out of context video can get the internet riled up and all of a sudden you’re over 100k views or clicks. Use your talent of not understanding basketball, then pretending that you do, to get a little extra cash. I believe you can do it. I’m rooting for you.

Some of the stuff you post makes me wonder if you even follow the NBA. Most stars play into their 30s. Not sure why you think BI would be done by 30 unless you have a crystal ball showing you he will incur a serious injury.



Yeah. I’ve often questioned if he follows the nba.

This was the guy saying Ingram was disengaged with the franchise.

At 25 he is going to be starting for Team USA. Most of the other guys on that level are 10 years older than him.

He names multiple players with degenerative knee issues like Roy and Granger to claim “evidence”

BigRandyMark:
If you’re going to troll the NBA internet as it seems be to much more clear that this is your intention, why waste your time on TD?

Make social media posts and monetize your tolling!

ETA: bookmarking your posts is my favorite off-season pastime.
quote:

You guys take this too personal and I'm pretty sure one guy is related to Ingram somehow and always runs in to protect him against any slight.


Don’t divert the argument.

The common age of 1st time NBA champions by great players is 27/28.
Jordan Durant LeBron Curry Jokic Dirk Shaq…

It’s not personal, you’re just wrong.

Ingram is approaching his prime now.
quote:

Statistically he's at or past his peak


He’s not even 26 yet. Stop.

According to twitter Ingram is showing to be the best facilitator on Team USA….

If Ingram is the best facilitator on this team USA….the offense should run through him.

Thanos tried to claim with a straight face that the “ Obamas” ( were the daughters involved too?) put Zelensky in office, even though he was elected during Trump’s presidency. I look forward to his next revelation.


It’s semantics. At the end of the day the United States put the guy in office.

But I can keep going. This a proxy war we have no business funding. On top of that, Ukraine has imprisoned and tortured American journalists. Clusters bombs are being signed off in approval by the White House. The United States and its NATO Allies blew up Nordstream Pipeline. Those are war crimes

To be fair, I don’t think you’re particularly evil, more of NPC that probably still has his Covid masks in case another “outbreak”

You're fighting a lost cause in here. This is the loudest echo chamber since the Q thread. You're either with them lockstep 100%, or you're a Putin dick sucking Communist


Oh you’re completely correct. I’m fighting against war machine propaganda here. Most of these posters probably don’t trust the American press on any other topic, except for this one. It’s humorous and sad at the same time.
quote:

Ah yes, just another “neutral” observer from the Ron Paul church of recovering addicts who can’t bring himself to utter a single word of condemnation for the dictatorship that launched an unnecessary war. Go on, say one critical thing about Putin and / or Russia in the context of this conflict. I bet you won’t.

Moron. Ukraine is a cesspool. The Obamas put the puppet president in office.

Go on, I bet you won’t admit that Ukraine is a country full of thugs and the Ukraine government captured tortured American journalists for posting YouTube videos.

Go on I bet you won’t admit we have no business going back on our agreement not putting NATO bases east of Germany.

Go on, admit it was who committed the war crime of plowing Nordstream.

Putin is a scumbag. But he’s not even Hussein.

This isn’t our fight. But it is, because the oligarchs who indoctrinate you are extracting riches from our tax dollars.

While y’all discuss tanks and brigades like you’re playing Solider hoping your team gets new toys.

While the White House approved civilian killing cluster bombs to be used.

Because that’s what modern foreign policy does-bomb the shite out of countries then go in and rebuild.
