Good Christ you are dim!

You think our stars aren't being held accountable enough. There is a Tweet circulating where Al is saying he feels bad about this loss personally and how he plans to look at the tape and learn from it. You JUST held up a Tweet quoting Kyrie talking about "not being good enough" and "players being upset about the loss?? WTF more do they have to do to be more accountable to you??

This is why you don't get it. Critique would've been one post, maybe two about letting this get away. But you get something up your keister about "something wicked this way comes because they lost an arbitrary game in March and how this loss will come back to haunt them in May or June. With ZERO knowledge of what will happen. For all you know we could go 15-3 from here. Your cognitive dissonance is pretty shameless.


Alright little man, I’m done with this thread after this post, because clearly your all over the place.

When I say the stars need to be held more accountable, Im not saying that they need to hold themselves accountable, I’m saying we as a fan base who have that “so close! Yay! Moral victories!” attitude need to hold them more accountable, and not be so quick to let them off the hook. If they play bad, say it. Stop with this “only one game! Ahh sooo close! But the rockets are so good and we almost had em!” stuff. Especially when you consider how we lost that game down the stretch by just giving it away. Which again, is exactly WHY I loved that tweet about what horford said, and I love that Kyrie said being close isn’t good enough, because that’s how it should be. That’s why I said they were making my point, they were showing that they are worried about these big games in March, or that they do care about being able to compete - even in the regular season, which was something you supposedly said the whole organization didn’t care or worry about. Ha.

And now listen, or read carefully, because this is what YOU don’t get. I critiqued ONE game. A game in which we led damn near wire to wire before we choked away the lead by allowing the rockets to finish on a 12-2 run. The stars (Kyrie and Al) were who I was critiquing considering how poorly they played down the stretch and the fact that they were a -18 and -22 respectively. The reason it turned into mutiple posts was because you simply weren’t understanding what I was saying and you were throwing out comments that were boarderline insane and very argumentative. So let me clear this up for you as easy I can. I’ll even put it in all caps...

I NEVER SAID THIS LOSS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM, OR THAT THERE WILL BE RAMIFICATIONS. Got that part so far? Now, what I said was that THESE ARE THE KINDS OF LOSSES THAT CAN COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM, OR COULD HAVE RAMIFICATIONS. Do you see the difference now? The latter suggesting a possibility of something happening, and the former saying that its a certainty. I’m saying the latter. Get it now?

I never got all doom and gloom like you suggested, I never had a sky is falling mentality, there was no aneurysm (at least on my end). I said this team could beat any team in the east come playoff time, so how is that panicking, jumping off a cliff, sky falling? I was just saying the stars sucked in this game, the fans need to stop making excuses for them in this game, and that those are the kinds of losses that can potentially come back to bite you later in the year if you miss out on homecourt by a game or two. Now, we could could go 15-3 and have it not matter, your absolutely right, I never suggested otherwise, but there’s always the possibility it goes the other way too. It’s so simple to grasp. Just read, then comprehend.

I really hope you finally see that my critiques were about one game, and that you can now fully understand what I was saying, because quite frankly having to repeat myself so many times for you to understand has given me a headache. I feel absolutely crazy for the fact that I even entertained a back-n-forth with a poster who said “the players, coaches, and front office arent even worried about this season. They’re waiting for next season when Hayward gets back because that’s when we’ll be better”. I mean good god man. And you call me “dim”?





And now I’m done, and on to Chicago.


"we can't let them off the hook" "we need to hold them more accountable"

Yeah they're really worried about what you think of them right now. LOL

You are 5 years old. Five. LOL


When did I say that they were worried about what we think of them? Jesus man, reading comprehension. Work on it. Your embarrassing yourself.

They know they sucked. Both Kyrie and Horford said it themselves. I was talking about US, THE FANS, and how we have a moral victory attitude because we can’t admit when our beloved stars cost us a game. Everyone gets so defensive when you point the finger at these guys. It’s so embarrassing and pathetic that it got to the point where you said no one in the organization - from the players, coaches, and front office, is even worried about anything that happens this year because they’re all just waiting for Hayward. That’s so pathetic and embarrassing to have that train of thought for a team that has beaten everyone and is now 45-20.

And out of everything I just said in my previous post, the argument was about how you thought for some reason I said they were doomed because of the loss, and I explained to you like a 5 year old what I meant so you could understand that wasn’t my point at all, and you come back with another off topic/missing the point completely type of post? Just stop. We’ve played another whole game now since this one. Just practice reading comprehension and I promise things will get better for you.


Ugh, and I said I was done. Well, NOW I’m done. So feel free to continue to have YOUR aneurysm, you five year old. Type away, you internet soldier. Come back with another post that has nothing to do with what I said, and maybe do some name calling while you puff your chest out. Whatever makes YOU feel better, little man. Just promise me at some point you will work on that good old fashion reading comprehension to help avoid these embarrassing situations in the future. Thanks bud.

Marcus isn't making 30 million though. Horford is getting money to get more than 15 points in a game where Eric Gordon guarded him in the post about 6 times..that should be a bucket every time..at worst half the time..dude didn't get a single one.

He better show up for the playoffs.


Love you Brun but I hate this take. We really need to let the "He makes 30 Million" thing go. What he makes has nothing to do with nothing, to do with nothing. That's a Merloni-esque take and you're better than that. They got the matchups they wanted in the post. Al shoots over 73% at the rim. He usually cashes in those looks he got tonight. I'll take him getting those looks EVERY time. Sometimes the other team just makes a few more plays than you.

And there's a big factor for this team that simply doesn't get near enough visibility.

Look at the rosters and more specifically at the ages of the players in rotation. Then consider that Hayward hasn't played all year and we JUST got Monroe. How many times has it been said that this league eats its young? AND...unlike those other great teams this is a roster that had a major overhaul this offseason. Those other teams have been playing together for 3-4-5 years. They know each other like the back of their own hands. Not trying to make excuses but we really need to come off the ledge after random games.



Bro..I don't want to come off as an Al Horford hater. I love Al, was thrilled when we got him, fully udnerstand his value comes mostly from off ball stuff and think his best season with us will be next year when Gordon is back to help Kyrie. But he's better than what he has showed the last few months and to let him off the hook for it is selling him short. The match ups we got for him were the best of the season. He didn't get the job done and we lost. That was frustrating to see and he deserves blame for it. Not saying trade him for a bag of nuts or throw tomatoes at him at the Garden, but he deserves blame. It's not the first time he pulls a no show either..our last L's against Cleveland and Toronto he played like you would expect an out of retirement Mark Blount to play..
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!

I can respect that take. Just not a big fan of bringing his pricetag into it. He's had a rough few games. I expect he should bounce back.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!
