^ Well everybody is either slightly more of a Homer Vs everybody is slightly more critical of this team and it's outlook.

Really hasn't been a good middle ground in a while. I think that's just the nature of this fanbase considering how much of an enigma this team has been for so long. And playoff starved.

This season- 11.7 553 .083 17.9 .2

After a red hot february he regressed again.

Sadly, after a great stretch that saw him play with a "screw you" attitude, he's backslid into his old "screw me/I'm screwed" attitude, passing up on open looks right when the team needs him to knock down a few. :-?

So true. Can’t crown a player until he has at least a couple seasons of being a consistent scorer.

Sad ..but true.

This case, especially, is way over the top.

The star stuff for luke is over the top, but come on. This isn't Austin Daye territory either. He's made about as many shots in a 2 years as daye did his whole carrier. As is, Luke is going to stick on an NBA roster. If he makes any sort of leap, he'll be a legit starter.
