This is why this matters:
Theo Pinson and Justin Jackson are fringe at best NBA players trying to make a living with a podcast. Of course they're going to say some out of pocket isht. It's not like anyone is tuning into them for their experiences or insightful commentary.
But my original point, since you've decided to quote me from however long ago it was, is that we shouldn't be seeking validation from the national media. During the December to Mid January period the headline for NBA Today contained the Lakers, Warriors or both in all but like 3 episodes. For reference, this is a daily show covering the entire NBA during a period when the Lakers and Warriors were absolutely terrible.
There are 2 things everyone here should realise;
1. We're never going to get attention, whether we deserve it or otherwise. We're not in that market. Accept it and move on.
2. We don't need it. I'll take competitive basketball and not being talked about over the constant chattering about the Warriors/Lakers when they looked like their seasons were circling the toilet.
Whining about not getting enough attention from the peanut gallery is pointless and unbecoming. Enjoy the basketball we're watching
