The lack of defense and efficiency and the 49yr olds going down like flies. Unfortunately Indiana proved that the reservations were on the money. It also doesn't help that Carmelo is still on this team and to make matters worse he is injured after we just gave him $124mil. But he is not going to be here forever. The atmosphere here will improve if we ever start to win or Carmelo is gone. Take that to the bank
You know what is wrong with this board? That you cannot say what you actually think or feel without morons using terms like Melohate.
What on earth is wrong with not like Melo?
There is a fact. This team is built around Melo, like it or not.
Thus, if one believes Melo is detrimental to building a legit ballclub, then you're basically at odds with anyone who can't handle that viewpoint.
It is the people who can't refrain from 3rd grade Melohate and Circle Jerk posts who are the real problem children here. Since when is having a strong point of view an issue.
Like I said, I erred in this manner by doing the same thing by attacking Nix for DolanLove. It is exactly the same thing as being an idiot who says MeloHate and Circle Jerk. I was being an idiot. I confessed. ''
To my recollection, I have seen NOT ONE PERSON who engages in this behavior admit they are wrong and reform their ways. That is why I have no respect for people who keep doing it and don't look in the mirror while continuing to be oblivious to their own conduct.
I don't like Dolan. I don't like Melo. Big deal. Get a life. If some guys were truly concerned about the quality of the board like they say they are they'd have stronger moral principles, but they like to attack and then cut themselves slack on how to behave. If you're a hypocrite, then we'll expect you to keep posting about Melohate and Circle Jerks. It is helpful. It identifies you as someone not worthy of actual debate.
The difference now is I've gotten to a place where I don't care what any of them think. But if they want to play games about moral principles and then fail to engage in meaningful debate over what that constitutes, then they only marginalize themselves further.
The people with spines stood up in this thread. It was a good thing. I salute people with a conscience. The drive-by shooters can go back to their regularly scheduled programming now.
