Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 3649015, member: 626"] Puhleeze, you're projecting. The only "clown" here is the one who runs away because he refuses to address several issues in a post, but rather makes ad hominem attacks while selectively dissecting said post, in order to compensate for a lack of intellectual honesty. There is a tendency on this board to condemn outright any attempt to discuss an issue, if that discussion contains any criticism of JB, and/or his coaching philosophy. I've posted on this and other forums associated with this particular gathering of SU fandom for damn near 2 decades, and far as I can recall, not once have I ever attacked another poster simply for a difference of opinion, especially in regards to JB. I also don't feel it should be a prerequisite, but unfortunately, it appears to be a requirement, that before anyone can post ANY criticism of JB, they first have to declare their bonafides, their undying fan cred, in order to pacify insecure posters like yourself that they are not bringing forth an "agenda". As I have declared in numerous posts before this one, my issue w/ JB is NOT one game, or ONE sub pattern, in one season. Maybe I'm naïve but despite being a big fan, I've ALWAYS hated that he, IMO, plays his starters mega-minutes, rarely develops a workable bench, & any talent notwithstanding, stubbornly refuses to bend unless absolutely forced to do so. Those are called pet peeves, and last I checked, pet peeves are not evidence of some sprawling agenda, so get over yourself. Also, last I checked, the airing of grievances is not only appropriate in this season of Festivus, but is also the reason we have message boards. But I digress... Particularly in the last 2 seasons, JB, again IMO, has played Buddy and JG3 for far too many minutes. And what get's my goat is that this year we appear to have the horses to NOT need to have that happen again. Yet were it not for a Covid quarantine of Buddy, and the injury to Sidibe, we likely would not have seen early the great potential of a Woody or even Kadary, & why? Because Buddy and JG3 would be playing 36 mins a game, which under ANY circumstance, again IMO, is unnecessary and stupid. But I do give you credit for not hiding behind some passive-aggressive grammatical BS in voicing your misguided opinions, and allowing yourself to be exposed via the apparent nonsensical and insecure post you've presented here. And though I refuse to call it a clown post or anything as sophomoric as that, I will stipulate that I don't see it as part of some wide-ranging "agenda" at play. I just think you're wrong- and apparently unlike you, my fandom is not threatened by that fact. JMHO [/QUOTE]
