I mean am I the only one with the memory of jizz everywhere little cutesy shite y'all did on the board for a while, with "In Demps We Trust" memes everywhere, and quotes about Monty from coaches all over the place, and so forth.

Yea I exaggerated with the "best coach/GM" stuff but it's not terribly far off.

I mean this board said we were going to be a playoff team this year before the season.

Expectations were by some pretty laughably high for a team with a below average coach and very little real talent, and for the longest time it was an unthinkable sin to speak bad about anything regarding this team.

I appreciate that other opinions are being voiced a little more often now, that's all I'm saying.

And y'all should too, it's what makes boards like this interesting.

And I don't think anyone, including the "Monty apologists" think the same way of him now that we did at the beginning of the year. I know that I don't.

But again, if EG and AD are healthy all year, we'd be a completely different team right now

my point in all this is you are gonna have optimistic fans and pessimistic fans, unrealistic fans, uneducated fans, but please bring something to the table besides ONLY being negative

i remember when everyone was pumped about Demps and Monty how they made a great pair etc and people were excited to a point to where "In Demps We Trust" was making its way around the board and many were optimistic I think thats part of being a fan...you are a tad unrealistic

the irritation is when the same thing is posted constantly with no new insight or opinion especially with someone being negative even further when nothing will change for a few months

support your team voice your opinion but bashing gets old and it only pisses people off

example I got really pissed at EG through the offseason but you have to remember he's a Hornet whether you like it or not you got to support him

enjoy the season, enjoy watching basketball, enjoy giving each other shite on this board, dont bash just to bash...my 2 cents

I appreciate fact-based analysis and well-considered, evolving opinions about the team, pro or con, far more than most of what I read here.

I'd like to read more of the former, actually.

There's a time and place for fun and getting pumped about the team, but having that displace actual thought about actual facts is to be avoided.

I fail to see how anyone is not pleasantly surprised by this season as a whole. Parts of it are very upsetting, of course.
