You did say that though...
You said I was 'hating just to hate'.
I was sticking to facts... I said he was the number one pick(fact) and that he got a big contract(fact) and that with those there are big expectations from the fans and the organization(fact).
Actually no you didnt Luke, you said:
"The excuses have run out for Andrew Bogut. This is his year to produce or officially be called an underachiever. I have wiped the slate completely clean and I am willing to watch this season with an open mind. However, we have invested the first pick in the draft in him and now we have given him a huge contract. He is the future of the franchise and if he doesn't produce like a number one pick who got a massive contract extention, we are in major trouble."
You said that he needed to produce like a #1 pick, when where he was picked has nothing to do with him and has nothing to do with what he does this year. You also convey the perception that he is currently getting paid big bucks, he is not. He is on the last year of his rookie contract this year. So for you to relate his salary (a salray that is about 8 mill less than Redd's, 6 mill less than Jefferson's and even less to Ridnour's) to why he needs to perform, while not mentioning the players clearly not living up to their contracts (Ridnour and Redd) is clearly biased.
hen you say:
"Fine... Can we have high expectations based upon the huge contract he got? Just like every other player in the NBA... Or is he somehow immune from being judged based on the money he gets paid now too?"
Generally if you are going to judge someone based as you have said yourself, "upon the huge contract he got", you let them play a couple of games under the HUGE contract first. Otherwise you are as they say, simply speaking out your Ars#$.
Then you say:
"I made statements about how Redd needs to stop being so selfish and how Jefferson has looked very slow and out of shape in the preseason, yet the only player who you thought I was 'attacking' was Bogut."
No mention of judging Redd on his HUGE contract that he IS actually been playing under for some time??
I know you like to not answer my clarifications with "Dumn Ozzie Bogut fan", but while I like Bogut with the Bucks it is a weak and baseless arguement.
I simply expect more from a seasoned poster than the crap that you spouted. You can still have your opinions and dissapointments of Bogut, but lets steer clear of the cheap shots like
#1 pick bust and judge him on his massive contract (when you fail to mention Redd's or Ridnours or the fact Bogut is still on his rookie contract).
If you said that you were disappointed in his jump shot or free throw shooting, you would not have heard a response that you did from me, because in truth those things frustrate me about Bogut too.
This is not a slag. Lets clear the air and move on, we have 81 games and we cant do this the whole time
