Favorite THR Quotes....

[timo0402]

Doc Steat, setting the record straight. Not only can he set your finances up for a comfortable retirement, he can also tell you what is the correct pan of action for a kid having a scope. THR is lucky to have the multi dimensional figure on their board to help them along. Between him, gary and the davidbagofwindR....what more would anyone want?

Seriously, it doesn't take much research to find out why Giles is having a "clean up' surgery. The Duke doctors will not allow Giles to play if he is not ready to go. It is not K's call. It is Giles, his family and his doctors call.

Dr. Steat is much smarter than Giles's actual doctors here at Duke though. I know there is a slight chance that Steat hasn't ever met giles, seen any of his MRIs, X-Rays, or been a part of any of his consultations, rehab sessions, conversations with family, friends, advisors, coaches and other doctors, but i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, because as he said, he's thinking about Giles, where as K is only thinking about himself. I know that statement where he said he hates it for the kid and is looking out for his best interest while K is only looking out for his own "rat interests" can be seen as extremely ironic, but again Dr. Steat, M.D. knows what's best.

Dr.DSouth will also explain that this was an extremely major surgery and the fact that he had shoulder surgery himself will prove that there are no such things as minor procedures when a knife is involved. That's, Dr. South....M D.

BTW, Duke could have Blake Griffin coming to play power forward at Duke next year and I would still like their chances with Carter.

game, set, match....???????

I love the Dr. references. A very intellectual bunch they have over there. We are so unworthy. OFC

That one definitely made me laugh.

Can always tell when it is Steat. His pure hatred for K knows no bounds.

"Now, what are the majority of Duke fans thinking?... "Oh, he will be out for only 6 weeks. He will be back a few days before the first game." This is ridiculous thinking on the part of Duke fans. It's even more selfish that K is even thinking about putting Giles back on the court this season. When someone has continuing knee issues it is usually for a reason. If he tries to come back to soon, and six weeks is way too soon, he is just asking for more knee problems. I hate it for the kid. If he is set on playing 1-year in college, than the smart thing would be to take a redshirt year and get healthy. K knows that redshirting Giles would mess up his recruiting for 2017. With Giles coming back, would Carter commit with Bolden and Giles on the roster? I doubt it. K, the Leader of Men, is a selfish Rat and only thinks about himself."

How many assumptions/conclusions were made in that ridiculous ramble without any objective facts cited. In all seriousness I tried to count, but lost track.

What I find most hilarious about THR is the amount of threads that break down into name-calling. I have never, in all my life, seen fans of the same team, argue with one another as often as they do at THR. What is even worse is some of the main culprits admit that they are on edge and overreact because they are always being attacked. However why they are always being attacked eludes them How a mod can't take a step back and ask themselves why so many fights occur that involve such a plethora of new people, but always include the same select few on the opposite side completely boggles my mind.

I wasn't the one who did it. Are you sure it wasn't something you posted? I ask in all seriousness because I do not want any good posters leaving that site for something that could be a mistake.

Weird, the posts @HuffyJB and I both had mentioning him this morning are also gone...

Mark complimented me for liking Cory's post. I replied and commented that I like to give respect/love to great posts. That was my one and only comment on the main board. Obviously my account is centered on sarcasm. The actual intent is to like posts that I think are out-of-touch and baseless so that it reads, "absolutely nobody likes this."

Yep, and my post complimenting him is now gone, as is the post by @HuffyJB saying something like "HE SPEAKS!!"

Well that's exactly it. Most of the arguing starts because there are those who recognize the nonsense spouted on THR for what it is. Then they cry victim and claim that negativity is ruining the board.

I just need a proxy that will like comments in my behalf. Hopefully this will suffice in the meantime.

You got banned for that????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Self denial. The entire board at thr is in self denial with the exception of a few. They feed off each other and they feel better about their circumstance in numbers. OFC

At some point we need to do a 64 THR-statement tournament and vote on the best THR comments of all-time. Maybe during the summer months when there's not a whole of chatter going on..

We would never be able to come up with 64. Expand to 128. OFC

They Must be opening up a THR Medical Center with all the doctors we have over there!!

TPFKAPFS:
Anything dealing with surgery on a knee joint IS structural. What could you "scope" that would not effect the integrity or stability of the joint? There are certainly varying levels of structural issues and this procedure is less serious than invasive surgery, but it is disingenuous to claim that a third surgical procedure on a big man's knees before he is 18 years old is "minor."

If I'm not mistaken, Gary recently said his takes are "right down the middle," so we might have a situation where everyone else is playing for second.

K does not care about Giles well-being. If he did care, he would tell Giles to redshirt and take another year to rehab. The only thing K is thinking about is getting Giles on the floor this season so that Giles does not disrupt his 2017 recruiting class. If Giles redshirts, Carter does not sign with Duke for 2017. Duke can win the title without Giles. It's very plain and simple. K, is a selfish rat, and this may be a gross understatement.

If K did ask Giles to red shirt, he would be criticized for not looking out for the kids dreams of the NBA. It is very predictable. No matter what K does he will be viewed negatively by some.

Why would you redshirt if you're only here one year?

Re: THR Giles thread
I've tried to make most all of those points in a civil way over there. Some of them like to lose their minds if someone even suggests something that is in opposition to what they are saying. Some of the other poster are actually agreeing that some of the more ridiculous comments are precisely that.

 

[hart2chesson]

You have to realize in their own minds, they are NEVER WRONG...It can all best perhaps be summed up in the 20+ years old academic scandal among UNC athletes...

Remember, "UNC does it the RIGHT WAY, we win AND our kids go to class!!" When it was discovered not to be the case, STILL it was nothing they really did WRONG nor was "The Carolina Way" any less compromised...No , the NEW MANTRA simply became "Everybody Does It."

What a sicko.

You didn't hear? Giles plans to finish his Duke career in 2021. Selfish K told Giles it's going to take five whole years to get an NBA team to take a chance on him. Go figure.

Steat is off his rocker man... I responded as civil as I could be while still calling out his hate and stating his opinion as fact. I should not be banned but I said his post "made no sense" so maybe that will cost me.

He responded:

It's really a moot point because I don't think K will give Giles an option to redshirt if Giles hurts his knee again. The primary reason is a selfish one on the part of K. Bingo! It would spoil K's 2017 recruiting plan. I do feel sorry for the kid and wish him a full recovery

That's WAYYYY more reasonable of a response than I thought I was going to get.
