Renegade, you may have to sell some penny stocks or take out some more student loans to pay your bets.

Its funny how you think I am poor or something and pay student loans, when you know nothing about me. Too bad my tuition is paid for dumbass.

My, my such vitriol yet again. Doesn't surprise me, given your track record here on the 'zine.


BTW - Detroit Metro has plenty of nice places to live. After you make millions with your penny stock trading, perhaps you can afford a place as nice as mine and pay cash for sweet rides like my TSX

Hahahha sweet rides liek your TSX, i own a 03 Cl Type S meaning when i got it new it was more money then your "sweet ride". Also palm beach gardens is a shitload nicer than detroit, if you dont believe me come and check for yourself. If you want to talk money game you won't win.

Whats funny is your track record is a lot worse than mine considering you cut down and try to pretend you are superior to everyone on this forum, why was your name on the potential ban list, but not mine? I forgot because you are an asshole.

You reek of pampers, you have no sense of humor, and you behave like a spoiled brat.

Being banned from an online forum is far from the worst punishment in the world for voicing an opinion.

You don't voice opinions, you put down people and cut down people who respond differently from what you think in the money forum. You came into my penny stock thread that had nothing to do with you and tried to put me down. Now that you understand that you arent superior to me in any way you decide to call me a brat, shows how much you know considering I paid for 1/2 of my car.

Haha, I got nothin' but love for the young Renegade, he reminds me much of myself at age 18: Young, Foolish and Belligerent.

Now, I'm a little bit older, a little bit less foolish, but still quite belligerent

He did perform... but here's a question... why was he not shooting more?

I like Wade... but c'mon.. the guy was like 7 for 63. Why is he chucking up shots at the end of the fourth quarter after they finally tied it? Why oh why? He should have been penetrating and dishing... not forcing airballs with the shot clock expiring. Yes, Detroit's defense owned in the last 5 minutes, but honestly, Wade cost them the game at the end......

E Jones wasn't shooting more, because he wasn't getting open looks like he usually does. Most temas double down on Shaq, which opens things up for guys like Jones, but Detroit doesn't double down. They play Shaq straight up, and Miami (whether because of Shaq's injury or shear stupidity) played right into Detroit's hands, especially in the final minutes.

True, but towards the end when Wade had the ball he had 1-2 guys on him at all times. When he would drive he'd have more.... someone somewhere had to be open. I mean, he wasn't getting open looks, but that didn't stop him from shooting....

Funny how Deeetroit Defense has that effect on peeps. I don't call them the Miami Twinkies for nothing...Miami is soft and untested. Not to mention Coach Ron Jeremy looks like he's never been afraid to mow down a row of creamy filling.

DeWayne has a bright future and will undoubtedly be a superstar, but he needs some seasoning.

How do you say Miami is soft? Like I said in another post, they gave up a lower FG% than the Pissedons. Or are you just being "funny".

Aaah, yes you are correct - sarcastic, witty, biting humor sometimes gets lost in translation through the vast vacum of chatroom chatter.

If you reread the posts, believe I refrained from profanity though. Penegade is just bitter that I called him out on being a penny stock manipulator.

Go Pistons....I say Pistons take it in 5 against the Spurs.

I'd like to see Phoenix there there though, but they'll probably lose in 5 against the Spurs.

Think about what you're gonna do with the money.
Perhaps a double or nothing if he takes the spurs?

As much as I'd like the suns to go to the finals, I don't think it will be happening. They are a great offensive team, and thats where the problem lies.

The spurs have more experience in playing good playoff basketball, while the suns are quite young.

I expect them to win 1 game, 2 max, but as far as taking the series, I highly doubt that'll happen.

I'm not so sure the Spurs won't sweep the Suns right out of the building in San Antonio. I wanted to think that this would be a close series, to see the Spurs run the way they did in Phoenix was surprising. Now, to go back home, up 2-0. SA is tough at home, and the Suns haven't had an answer all season.

I still think the Suns will win at least 1 game, gotta give them some credit (read: hope).

What is with you and your penny stock obsession, get over it since you are supposedly so mature now and happy with all your humor. I am no bitter that you called me a penny stock "manipulator" thats just dumb. I'm just angry you bring it up time after time for no apparent reason! I think you may still be annoyed that I can make money in pennies. Sounds like you have tried it before and it didn't work out for you.

BTW like I said before "WADE COUNTY" so he had a bad day in game 1 so what you can't keep him down forever.

Looking for all your excuses now PISTON fans.

I'm looking ahead of collecting my $40, just like you Piston fans I bet after you beat us in game 1.

Edit: Pistonfan I find it funny how I stopped bickering with you last night yet you want to continue it.
