I think these type of threads are a trap. You ask people's opinions just to attack people you don't agree with. The guy just gave his opinion. It wasn't totally off the wall. But it was a bit negative, so guys lambasted him for it. Makes people not want to post. Anybody that doesn't follow the group think gets ganged up on and ridiculed.

Also, I'm fine with Gentry and i hope he does well. But to call him a massive upgrade is a reach. The guy has 3 winning seasons in 12 years as a head coach. I'd rather consider him a lateral move until he proves otherwise...

The problem is a lot of people with a dissenting opinion typically convey that opinion in an emotional and poorly supported manner. Sometimes I think your basketball views are completely crazy, but I know you actually thought about it rather than your motivation being "The team sucks, Fire Everybody!" That's not the case with most of the dissenting opinions here, and I'd say half of them are just troll attempts by an Alejandro alter.

And for those of you with genuinely different opinions, remember that today's group think isn't tomorrow's group think. This board has done 180's before and will do it again, but sometimes it takes that lone dissenting voice taking the lumps to get pendulum swinging the other direction.

I'm frankly not nearly as excited about Gentry as I am Darren Erman. However, I am going to massively enjoy the positive attitude that Gentry brings to this team, and his pedigree after winning it all last year as an AHC. Got tired of seeing our guys treat playing like a business. Show me some damn fire. It's entertainment after all. Have some damn fun. It's infectious to the fans as well.
