BTW. The results of the poll are as frightening as I expected.
I think your right.Bricklayer said:I'm assuming its the Artest acquisition which has swung things and if so then I am actually fairly impressed with the people that have changed their minds about Rick staying, because I think having him as an Artest handler really may end up being critical.

Public opinion does play a part in business decisions. While as far as I know, NONE of the decisions are actually determined by what the message boards say, message boards are all about discussing, debating, arguing, voting, etc. on things our favorite team or player may or may not do.
This poll isn't any different from debates about who we should play at a particular position on a given night, who Petrie should aim for in the draft, who the Kings should trade and under what conditions, etc.
I do think the message boards serve as reflections of the fan base they represent more often than not.
