No. Stick around and you'll see there are many here that can't take a lick of criticism about the team. It has been that way for decades. The bigger picture is we have minimal assets to improve and are now hard capped.
I am of the opinion we should see them play first together under this new coach before making such assertions.
Outside of Lillard going off. We really present no matchup problems for other teams. This league is predicated on exploiting mismatches yet we remain with a short little back court. Sharpe if he develops into what we hope can be a mismatch terror for other teams
I have seen it. I have also seen grudges held onto and how some cant admit being wrong a out anything. To each thier own though, no? This thread title, to me though, is not close to accurate.
It’s interesting people think saying the team had a bad off-season is “crying”. You do know this franchise hasn’t won a chip since the 70s and haven’t realistically competed for 20+ years - although injury luck has factored in. The franchise deserves some critique. It’s not whining or crying. It’s telling them to do better. Be better. Saying you have a stated goal to improve roster balance and increase size - then coming back with less balance and less size is certainly worthy of a conversation.
Ding ding ding. But nope. We made all the right moves and are on the right track to a championship. Hell, put a team of all guards on our team and don't say one bad thing about it. Otherwise you're crying and having a meltdown.
Literally anyone over 6’6 with some potential would’ve moved my needle towards eventually becoming a contender. Nothing wrong with GP2, but for our current roster, it’s a step back that makes no sense.
But that isn't what the thread title stared and I'm pretty sure the crying reaction is based on the thread title and the OP? Sound like you clarified yourself later though. All good. At any rate, I bet MR. KJironman is not happy his thread is not being used.
Why is it such a drastic difference? Just because someone says the OP is crying doesnt mean that person thinks everything went right and its a ring next year? There is a middle ground where people sit probably rolling their eyes at both extremes. Consider me one of them I suppose.
Original post or original poster? Because the original post said nothing of the sort. It said its a complete disaster and there is no other way to put it. That will get some people chiming in with opposite opinions. Hence the crying comments.
It’s over the top to get clicks. But the overall message is pretty clear. If my “Boss” asked me what my plan was when I took over “X department” and I said “Well, we are going to fire some people, cut the budget” and then turned around and hired 30 people and increased the budget my boss would say, “what the fuck?”. he wouldn’t say “oh, I know it’s a 3 year task.” He would expect moves that head towards the goal.
Poor analogy in my opinion. Any boss would want a detailed plan and timeline with something like that. If they want to work for a successful company anyhow…
You don't think thats what many posters are doing regarding the OP? The only hyperbole I'm reading is how bad this has been. I don't see anyone saying we made moves and will win, so who is posting hyperbole?
Amazing, isn't it? We just blew our MLE on a 4th guard whose main contribution is to give the team an excuse why Sharpe isn't playing. Beelzebub forbid that anyone should question the move!
