Zorgons Statement on all Foyle Diaries

I am NOT here to clutter the diary section with pointless diaries about how he did every game. If you're favourite player was Kobe Bryant, would you post his statistics on a, say, Wizards site every time he played?

Rather, I am here to make diaries that analyse his play on a broad scale, compare him to other players, cheer him on, and et cetera. Not to mention, analysis of the current Warriors team.

In other words: I make my own analysis, NOT spit out the statline.

So, please no more comments saying "Wow, you beat Zorgon to this." Trust me, I watched Adonal play and would've beaten this guy by a mile if I wanted to.

If you want to see me spit out Adonals statline just for kicks, it will mostly be found at adonalobsessed.blogspot.com . I decided that a lot of the "Small time" Foyle analysis really didn't have much of a place here anymore, and I didn't want to make OZes job harder or make people scroll down to see the relevant diaries.

Does this mean my Foyle analysis here is done?

By no means! I will only post MAJOR happenings with Adonal Foyle here, or MAJOR analyises/videos I have made, and with that I will try to make connections with the Warriors to make the diaries relevant to the site.

Now, this is not saying that I disapprove of other people Posting Adonals statistics, that's not my place, and it's incredibly awesome to hear people are still following the Carribean wave. Just don't say that THE BIGGEST FOYLE FAN EVER is not paying attention. That's just rude.

Furthermore, this disincludes all gamethreads vs. the Magic. That is when you can see me type YAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAY every time Adonal takes a step.

Bottomline: He's not relevent to the site anymore, so I post less stuff.

Still want to know what I think of his performance? Fine, look below....

Adonal had a good game, for playing in the last minutes of a blowout.

After all the passion Adonal is shown, I'm VERY disappointed that he's been relegated to garbage minutes, especially on a team so thin on bigs. IF you look at the stats, Adonal got just as many rebounds in half the time of Rashard Lewis.

Of course, I could be just bitter, and Adonal is kind of on a "schedule" to play the 1st and 4th Quarters, and the 4th happened to be a blow out. Oh well.

Reguardless, Adonal proved the critics wrong in this game. 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 17 minutes? THIS is what you should expect AT LEAST from Adonal from now on. He played the same incredible defense that he has done throughout the years, he was inhaling the rebounds (something he used to not do) and EVEN had a bit of an offenseive game. His shooting percentage may have been bad, but it was obvious the ghost of Emperor Nelson was haunting him. I can assure you that none of them looked like Adonalmaos videos though, and he DID show signs of improvement on offense. As in, going to be an All-Star signs of improvement. As in, #1 on the All-time scoring list signs of improvement.

Also: Atma, I have not forgetten about the video I was going to make showcasing Adonals strengths to you. It's gonna happen!!!!

Take into account Adonals pick setting and sheer energy and you have one (almost) complete player.

Now, in the future, look for stuff like this ON adonalobsessed.blogspot.com. I really don't want to sound like I'm promoting my blog (which I am) but I really don't want to waste Atmas time, OptionZeros time, and your voice and diary space.

And, I'm trying to not sound like I'm talking like I'm bigger than the community (which is how I'm talking) but I'm just tired of the comments saying "Wow, Zorgon sure was beat."

So, anyway, glad you guys are showing your Adonal support, and....good night.

thank you
Let's all follow Zorgon's advice and respect his wishes.

No need for a foyle diary every game, nor a jrich one, etc.

Questions? Complaints?

Sorry man
No offense was meant by the comment on the other diaries.  I always loved having adonals presence on the team (if not the contract), and I was sad to see him go.   I was in no way trying to imply that you werent paying attention either, sorry if it came out that way.

It's all cool
This was in no way aimed at you specifically. I know you probobly weren't implying I wasn't paying attention or anything, it just bothers me to see this comment posted 100 times.

So, no hard feelings.

Go 'head with it
Zorgon and everyone else- use the diaries intelligently. If you want to drop a 500 word post after JRich or Foyle blows up on why the Warriors could use them, that's all good. But a statline plus a few words makes for a weak diary (Zorgon's a good example- he writes well thought out diaries).

Anytime you're about to post a diary, just ask yourself- would FJ, Fuzzy, Hash, Adam, R Dizzle, Yaobuttaming, or Atma put up something like what you're about to post as a diary? If the answer's yes, then by all means post your diary.

however
it was his first game in a non-warriors uni, so its worth noting. Good to see the big man gettin the job done when called upon in orlando

Big ups zorg.

Did you watch Foyle play last night?
His first shot of the game was priceless.  Offensive rebound lands in his lap around the arc of the restricted area... puts it back up... falls about 2 feet short of the rim and not even above the cylinder... Nice!

Zorgon:
Why do you like Adonal Foyle so much?

Did your enthusiasm for the Warriors weaken when he left to Orlando?

Just curious, man.
