    Is there anyone who DOESN'T think that we're witnessing the development of a very special player right now?</div></p>

    Yes, that would be me</p>

    </div></p>

    </p>

    What a shocker.</p>

    </p>

    </div></p>

    Of course it isn't a shocker as I have stated many times that I have very little confidence in him</p>

    The observation was based not on an inventory of or even cursory familiarity with your observations about Sean but upon your manifest habit of devaluing anything and anyone connected to the team who enjoys even a modicum of popular appeal among other fans (aside from Jason Kidd and your dearly departed K-Mart). One day you may luck up and discover that to be contrary is not necessarily to be right.</p>

    Until then, I'll try to hide my shock when you reply to this post for the same reason you replied to the last one . . . not because you have anything new to say but because you must always have the last word.</p>

    I'm interested as to why you have so little faith. Does it have any more depth than "he got kicked off his college team, he must be a bad seed"? Or is there some well-thought out argument as to why you think he'll ultimately fail to live up to his potential as an NBA player?</p>

    Wow, you just demonstrated a tremendous amount of ignorance. Kidd isn't even close to my favorite Net. I simply respect his game far more than I respect Vince's.</p>

    Krstic, RJ and Boki are my 3 favorite Nets. I give my honest opinion on every Net at all times.</p>

    Perhaps my perceptions are awry, but you, Sir, seem to only give your honest opinion when it contradicts any bit of positive instant analysis we message board posters are prone to jump to.</p>

    Don't forget that fan is short for fanatic. Asking us to be rational is futile. Asking us to do so only when the news is good, well, that's just plain mean.</p>

    I see him as a rotational big man that blocks some shots and scores some garbage buckets. My comment about confidence in him is related to the very lofty expectations of him in here</p>

    Yeah calling for Boki to get more playing time or in the past rookies to get more playing time always contradicted positive analysis. Defending Twin and RJ was also always against positive analysis</p>

    That's an invalid objection, you always bring negative comments to positive player evaluations. Anyway I'm not sure what You mean by "honest opinion" since you seem to relish being a disingenuous contrarian [​IMG]

    Since "tremendous ignorance" implies a lack of knowledge about something of actual weight or substance, one could hardly demonstrate "tremendous ignorance" of something as trivial as your personal favorite Nets players. And if you read again, maybe you'll actually understand that your "favorite" players was never even in issue nor was in any way relevant to the observations I made.</p>

    The issue is your oft-demonstrated propensity to adopt a view contrary to that of a populace because you somehow think contarianism relfects more insight, discernment, or intellect. Sometimes it actually does. The problem is you don't know when it does and when it does not.</p>

    </div></p>

    Again, the point is that you are absolutely wrong in your belief that I am contrarian. Who my favorite Nets are is on point in demonstrating your lack of knowledge. You are the one that continues to falsely claim that I only speak positively about Kidd.</p>

    I don't have a different view point on the Nets from the "populace" as a gimmick, rather I have stated beliefs about the Nets that I stand behind and I don't change my tune to align myself opposite the populace.</p>

    My supposed contrarian resume:</p>
    <ul>[*]Wanted Frank to play Zoran more
    [*]Believe that Twin provides more to the Nets than his stats
    [*]Don't believe Vince is as important to the Nets as Kidd is
    [*]Was against the signing of McInnis
    [*]Was against the acquisition of SAR
    [*]Didn't believe the Linton hype
    [*]Was against the drafting of Wright over Granger
    [*]Wanted Frank to play Boki
    [*]Don't believe Boone is better than Twin
    [*]Don't believe Marcus will be a special point guard
    [*]Laughed at the Marcus / Deron comparisons
    [*]Don't believe that Sean will be a special big man
    [*]Believe that the Nets as currently constructed are no better than a second round playoff team[/list]

    Well it's funny you ask that, because it's the complete opposite end of the spectrum, when comparing KC to cpaw.</p>

    cpaw-----------------------------------------------------------kc</p>

    ultimate suckiness -------------------------- ultimate awesomeness</p>

    More threads should be made about my ultimate awesomeness.</p>

    Still waiting for your "proof" on Cleaves</p>

    It is hilarious that you think mentioning Belinelli is some sort of insult.</p>

    I've seen cpaw with his airbrushed shirts of Cleaves and AJ Granger.</p>

    </p>

    Of course, he'd want the Nets to draft Belinelli, it's because he wears make-up, they have a lot in common.</p>
