It sorts of goes with the territory though - I think we all end up on the other side of the fence with different players.  I don't know why some people take it more personally.  I think it's just offensive when it's someone you root for.

For most of his first three years, people ragged on Rak for being lazy, for being awful at rebounding, etc...I always thought it was exaggerated (as did others - and, early on, yes he did play lackadaisical at times, but I thought it was exaggerated and repeated too often). I never thought anyone was going after him because they hated him though.  It's all just opinions based upon the 30+ times we see them play each year.   With TC though it's just different - maybe because it comes up so often, or we've been so far below what we're used to when it comes to W/L.  Who knows.  It's always been this way though.  Andy, Scoop, Triche, Rak, Cooney...the zone (those debates used to be more frequent) there is always someone that fires the board up.
