    Winning threads versus losing threads...

    What gets more attention?

    A guy that goes 10-0, or a guy that goes 0-10?

    Losing threads draw more comments, vocal posters and buzz.

    Winning threads draw views and silent attention.

    Agreed. Many non members cruise SBR looking to tail and don't join.

    Losing threads only get attention from the regulars.

    Jake, who are we taking with the #2 pick?

    This selection could define the Lakers for the next 15 years. It's crucial they get it right.

    i think KAT is the correct play but I won't be mad with Okafor. Hopefully retard Jim Buss doesn't do something stupid like trade down or pick D'Angelo Russell.

    Yeah, I'm sure they'll just take the big man that's available, and it'll most likely be Okafor. I would imagine the only way they take D Russell is if they're convinced they can sign a big free agent (Aldridge, Love, Gasol)

    0-10 without a doubt. I went on 2 of the better runs in forumville history and was just the usual thread guys in there. Not going all vyomguy...coin in my pocket is all I care about.

    Both are equally unlikely.
    All things considered equal, its as hard to go 10-1 as it is to go 0&10.

    0-10 for sure.

    We have a lot of posters here who love to say they were on the winning side after the game is over

    i like Tatddy but he was probably the biggest offender of this. Benny Big Nuts even though i like him too was always on a heater on the plays he didnt post

    I'll make sure JJ gives you an award.

    We've been losing too many posters lately. Can't risk losing you.

    Jay, you're really dropping the knowledge in this thread.

    0-10 is more common, no one goes 10-0 enough to know how we would react without posting screen shots or tickets. We ask for dental records on winning bets and harass the hell out of losers by accusing them of betting air/psi. It's a no win situation.

    If Angelito wears a mask would he give you permission to post his pick here?

    ugggg they're working him out and B Scott isn't ruling out taking him. If the Lakers draft Russell I'm hunting down Jimmy Buss with a fukking compound bow.

    Just a little posturing. Gamesmanship, if you will. The Lakers are going to end up with one of the two big men.
