It took me all of 2 months to see Joe had put together a shit team and everyone here said i was being TOO NEGATIVE. The fucking Free Press quoted me on it.
We were 8 games over .500 and a top-3 team in the east when I said we were going to finish below .500.
I was absent when you were TOO NEGATIVE (no need to scream).

I swear some of you have memories of goldfish. God forbid you judge each post on its own merit. No, what I say can make perfect sense, but it's still somehow flawed because its me saying it, and I happen to not jump on whatever bandwagon the rest of the forum happens to be on right now.
The whole season I said this was a shit team led by a shit coach. You people said I was overreacting, we had a good record and everything would be fine.
Dude, you're preaching to The Preacher.
You think I got that tag because I followed the crowd? I'm the dude that got the Rip for Stackhouse deal right. I'm the dude that was pushing for a Sheed trade. That wanted Frank Williams or Dan Dickau and not Prince. That wanted Monta Ellis or CJ Miles and not Maxiell. I fucking told Joe to get Juan Dixon - 3 years before he did it.
And I'm the guy putting Joe's Draft record under the microscope every chance I get because it's insane that the intelligent fuckers on this site can't see the cold hard facts.
You say we had a shit team. I say we had 2 guys that barely cared and a Coach that made that problem worse. Sheed has always been one that picks and chooses his spots. It's just last season he chose less spots than before.
And if anyone is gonna try and tell me Iverson always played half assed they can get fucked. You're talking about Iverson - aka "In the future playing hurt will be known as Answering"
And he quit on this team? Yeah - cause Dice, Sheed, Rip and Tay deserved that! Cause Iverson has no respect for them or Joe!
Or maybe cause Michael Curry was the dumbest motherfucker walking the sidelines, including that retarded kid I saw with popcorn during a Bucks game.

Now, I'm saying Joe is doing a pretty good (albeit incomplete as of yet) job, made quality acquisitions, and now I'm the homer that buys in to whatever management says? Please.
Maybe, just maybe, I have a little better feel for this shit than some of you.
Joe did what he wanted - doesn't mean I agree with it. I do understand it. I'm just someone that would rather contend every season or be really crap. No point being Mr. Inbetween. And so far these moves don't make us better - they just make us different.
And in 2 years time they might be great - but what about next season? If only Joe could Draft we wouldn't have this problem. If only Joe didn't jump right in and grab Ben Gordon we wouldn't have this problem.
Like I said - I understand where he's coming from. Doesn't mean I agree with it. You might agree with it and that's cool.
Just don't try to be a salesman for the organisation and attempt to put a positive spin on being a fucking mediocre team for the next 2 years.
