Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 5669316, member: 225"] I mostly stay away from the board during basketball season for a variety of reasons, including this one. Every player has strengths and weaknesses. Every one of them. Every year, a subset of the board informally picks a whipping boy. They overlook anything he does well and never fail to point out his flaws. The guy could have a great game and they will harp on a missed shot or whatever. Conversely, they pick a heartthrob and constantly play up his strengths or good plays and totally ignore weaknesses or problems after a given game. And they do this not only after every game but all week long, over and over and over. This pattern on the board is as perennial as the wind [/QUOTE]
