What I have no issues with:I don't think Knightro favors any sort of lineups we are or aren't putting out there, or any certain strategies we are or aren't running. He'll usually expound on why we are doing certain things, why it makes sense we're doing it with Clifford as our coach, and why a coach like Clifford favors certain players over others/things of that nature. It bothers some people, even me at times (the truth hurts
), but deep down I know better. It's just the frustration of where this team is heading that really bothers me. The Real Dalic never bothers me either because he cheers for the team but also is objective and can see certain things going on that shouldn't be happening, but is going to root for the team to win or try their best regardless (while probably still hoping certain changes/things happen to the team in the near future). Same with Howard, he roots for the team to win but knows we have a lot of issues and need to change a lot to become a perennial playoff team.
What I do have issues with: I don't get the "lol salt" posters or posters that actively argue for the status quo/in favor of guys like Vucevic/Fournier over anybody else just because they put up the best numbers on the team. They've had their chances, and they're not "bad" players (they're often the best on the team offensively, at least numbers wise). But if SUPERSTARS can get traded for not getting their team where they should, whether it's fair or not, uber role players like these guys can surely be moved on from after 3-4-5 years of being featured on offense and us being worse for wear because of the strategy. I think people equate wanting to trade them with blaming them for everything, but it's simply the issue of wanting a breath of fresh air, or to see how other players handle different usage rates and looks so that we can start being more critical of them instead of looking at them as mysteries or judging them on the same scale as a veteran who has more opportunity, which isn't fair or smart. It also could be 10x worse, but at least we'll know if we can get to a higher ceiling because of it. It wouldn't be like breaking apart a championship level Magic team (Howard/Meer/Lewis/JJ/Gortat, etc) if we decided to move in that direction.
So again, I just fail to see the logic of some here that want things to continue as is/relish in being "right" (even if it's literally just for one game) if it's the opposite of what we need as a franchise. Other than trolling or being a fan of a player so much that it's hard to objectively look at certain situations, I can't say I understand the logic.
But yeah, that's my vent from this game.
