"what are the odds Hedge took his quote from IC?"

100% (if you can state odds that way). I added the part about Gilcrest myself, though...

so is IC touting the stat the way you posted it or the way Bluecat posted it?

[hedge]

I copy and pasted it, didn't read any further in the thread, but I just went back and checked, after a couple of posts of general appreciation of Barnes and talking about how the NBA suits his game better (blahblahblah), somebody corrected him. It wasn't a long thread, about half a page. Here is the correction offered:

"I believe the record is actually that he is the first rookie to score 25 pts in back-to-back playoff games without having previously scored 25 in a regular season game. It's one of those arbitrary records that no one will ever remember, but he has played well in the playoffs."

The thread title was "Barnes sets NBA play-off rookie scoring record". After the real "record" was noted, somebody sassed the original poster by opining "This thread sets the IC record for most misleading thread title", to which someone replied sassfully "Not even close". In other words, sure, IC can often be a love fest, but it's not the completely baseless litany of uncorrected lies and pablum that you imagine. For that you have to go to Paick Priiiiiiiiide....

some other headlines from that story
-------------------------
Barbara Hall was involved in a bedroom romp with her boyfriend when he asked her if she had brought PAM cooking spray, which he wanted to use as lubricant.

However, Hall thought he was referring to an ex-girlfriend of his named Pam, and she allegedly flew into a jealous rage, punching him repeatedly and heaving objects at his head.
For the record, Butter flavor is not a better lubricant than original.
---------------------------
Crystal Frantzen allegedly gave Gary Tipton oral sex in a gas station parking lot in order to get a "better deal" on a Cadillac he was selling.

-----------------------------

When asked why he did it, he allegedly responded, "Because I wanted to.
Some of us just think it, others of us act on it.
---------------------------
Mindi and David Rice were engaging in a three-way with a female friend, but when MIndi noticed David was giving the friend a little too much attention, she allegedly reached for a revolver.

The ensuing madness ended with gunfire, SWAT team involvement and a police tasing.

---------------------------
Racquel Gonzalez was allegedly none too pleased when her boyfriend orgasmed and she didn't. She allegedly responded by scratching and hitting him, which caused him to call 911.

-----------------------------
Japanese porn star Uta Kohaku asked her fans on Twitter to donate their sperm as part of an erotic film titled "Semen Collection 2." She received over 100 bottles in less than 10 days.

Tyshinia Love Brewster was working as a prison guard when she allegedly had sex with one of the inmates at the facility and became pregnant with his baby.

Third degree rape? WTF? there are degrees of rape? Your honor, she was wearing a thong! Aw hell...you can't go to prison for that!
