i don't really want to talk about rj. but for every guy who started year 3 bad and became sort of a star, there's 4 guys who didn't. what you're basically saying is "because this 1 guy did it, it's possible rj can do it". well sure. it'd still be possible if nobody had ever done it. it just doesn't seem likely.
but i do agree that this place has become sort of a toxic soup of agendas and overreactions to every play. it honestly is annoying at this point. the game threads are getting pretty bad. i don't know why it has gotten this bad but it has.
It’s because everyone fronted like it would be okay if we take a step back because the East got better, but deep down everyone want this team to take another leap.
It’s human nature. We set the bar high at the 4th seed. Even if we crawl back to the 5th seed and take a team to a game 7 first round exit, people will say we disappointed.
The team and the fans had the expectation of 2nd round or bust and right now we are looking like first round fodder for the Bucks or the Nets. Assuming we even make the playoffs
i don't think most people here even believed that we would take a step back. over the summer they mostly seemed to feel like we would be better. but i do think you're right that their expectations have let them down and they're now lashing out because of that.
I have to admit lashing out is one of my favorite things
