Indeed wrote:Jose lost his footstep, otherwise, he can be a good player. Jose is still great in spot up situation, and controlling the temple. But I guess the hate comes from his over dribble more than his defense. The most hated by far is Bargnani, even Sullinger has his offensive rebound against Davis with Bargnani on the bench, some people can claim its on Bargnani (clearly showed in gamelog).
Disagree. The most hated/criticized on this board is Jose, but he does not have nearly the same # of fanboys that Bargnani has and so his poor play is easier to get agreement which then ends a thread.
However, when discussing Bargnani, criticism against him were met by passionate defenses from his fans with excuses after excuses for his poor play and it's always someone else's fault and if you disagree, you must be a hater. This makes the haters go even more extreme and you have a 50+ page thread and a divided board.
It's only lately with a cold streak to start the season that some of his supporters have turned to become haters. But when the cold streak ends and he goes hot again, you'll likely start hearing from the fanboys again, asking for apologies from haters... It's a vicious cycle that repeats every year (sometimes a few times a year) that can only end when Bargnani is traded. There can be no unified fan base until then.
