You know, you guys could drive the point home even more by just writing "I'M INSECURE ABOUT MYSELF AND THIS RAPS TEAM, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL PROBABLY SUCK BUT I'M AFRAID OF GETTING YELLED AT BY THE IDIOT HOMERS ON REALGM", you know, instead of just saying "omg Hollinger suxxx!!!!111" over and over. Talk about being obvious... you guys are always good for a laugh with your insecurity and (very telling) overreactions to any criticism of the Raps.
The odds that Hollinger is right with his realistic, pessimistic take are much higher than the odds that anyone on here is right with their hilariously naive and optimistic take. In a way, it's almost a compliment to Hollinger that people are reacting this strongly... I suspect more than a few people secretly agree with him, or are afraid he might be right. If his article was well-received on this board, which as far as any reasonable dialogue and logic are concerned is the Bizarro World, then Hollinger would have something to worry about.
Newsflash: the fact that we have new players doesn't necessarily mean that those new players are very good, or that they'll play well together. There's a very good chance, imo, that we end up looking back at this summer as the summer when we totally wasted $100 mil on two so-so players in Turkoglu and Bargs.
lol...around these parts, it takes BALLS to be positive. it's easy to be negative - that's the pansy way out.
