Did you just make this up? Who wanted Brunson benched? I don't always do the game threads because the yo yo emotional responses play to play are ridiculous takes most of the time. Bench Brunson? Jesus.
Nah, there were definitely some dudes who saw Brunson get hurt (not in Game 4, a previous game) and say stuff like, I hope Brunson doesn't come back.
The whole reason why it seems like the whole forum is united in rooting for Brunson is that he also doesn't really have bad games that often. Even with his weakness, defense...it's clear that Brunson is trying (maybe trying too hard, considering the fact that he keeps taking charges). Some players on this team have haters, and there's lots of material for it. The Brunson haters are there but there's just not that much material. For example, take that postgame thread after game 1, where you had some dudes pop out of the woodwork to blast Brunson after we won that game and call him selfish. It was kind of desperate imo and people called them out on it.
If we lose to the Celtics or Cavs badly, those guys will pop up again. We just need to revisit the postgame threads for games 1 and 2 for Philly last year...a bunch of dudes having the time of their life and they rarely post again afterwards.
