is this really what being a fan in the age of the internet is all about???

As your mothers hopefully told many of y'all growing up "If you cant say anything nice...keep your big friggin claptrap SHUT!!!"

Depends on whose Mom you're talking about. Some of us came of age during the "spare the rod, spoil the child" era of child management, i'll put it for you in today's UK terms "feed the trolls, ruin a board"

We don't know yet just how good or bad this group will be. I'm very curious to see who Donnie signs after Tuesday and how the team comes along for the rest of the season. I'm happy that we have improved the core talent, but there's so much work to be done to get this team to reach it's max potential. Hopefully it's enough to win a title one day soon.

Can't you say the same for the impatience of fans who were quite satisfied with dumping 4 starters, 3 of the very young variety, for a 35 yr old PG and a 1 dimensional star known for not taking a pretty good Denver team very far in the playoffs?

Hell, we (Dolan) did not even have the patience to play his cards right and keep a Mosguv or Gallo, choosing instead to break up a young core that would have gotten better and could have been used for getting a star with complimentary skills to the guy wen already had.

So when you talk about "patience," lets try to keep it real.

Patience comes in many forms.

Those who wanted melo at any costs and those who wanted to watch the utes grow.

My problem is with those who dont seem to cheer Melo or Gallo, Chauncey or Chandler but just like to stroke themselves here. If you're not down for the Blue & Orange go elsewhere (or confine yourself to the Alba thread) because there are much better sites for you're masturbatory desires than constantly saying "I was right about..." or "Man Up" every other friggin post
