Detroit was TIRED!? What about the Kings...
- Thread starter SacTownKid
- Start date
indeed. anyway, i just got the impression that in your initial post, you were trying to deflate some notion of us being able to beat detroit consistently or something, rather than simply appreciating the win for what it was -- a victory late in the season with arguably more odds facing us than them anyway.
well, "detroit looked tired" is not a fact, it's an opinion.
it might also be worth noting that no one was banking on a sacramento win yesterday, either.

lucydearest, when a member says something to further a discussion, then I don't care if that person has 1 post or 10,000 posts. When someone comes to a new board and starts out right away by criticizing a long time respected member, then that person should expect to get "put in their place."
I have the title "Goodwill Ambassador" for a reason. I, more than most, enjoy welcoming new members, saying "happy birthday" and other small things that let people know that we are just like a big family here. Everyone is welcome! However, when people show up from other boards and immediately say or do things to make KingsFans.com what it is not, then I object.
As I mentioned in another thread recently, the owner, moderators, and longtime members of KingsFans.com have worked very hard into making this a "family" board where people of all ages can come and talk (and learn about) the game of basketball, especially as it pertains to our favorite team...The Sacramento Kings. It is not a place where we spend time being critical of each other. We don't allow flaming of our team or our members. There are some Kings sites that do allow that. For people who like that kind of place, I invite them to find it, and enjoy themselves. For those of us who don't like that kind of place, well, we have KingsFans.com.
This board is not going to change for the few new members who have come here to change it into the board from whence they came. It is just not going to happen.
This post is a general response about my feeling of things that have taken place here of late. It is in no way meant to single out any individual poster.

WOW, Brick, way to welcome us rookies and encourage us to post, especially for a moderator. THANKS I feel so wanted 
I'm sure you were new once too, but I guess you forgot.

Lucy, if you would like to comment on an opinion I have right NOW, your opinion is as good as any on the board. If you want to talk about trends in my posting over the years (and be wrong about it to boot) then I am quite justifiably going to ignore you because you have not been here to witness those trends in any way I can confirm.
P.S. And yes badnews, I was trying to deflate the idea that our victory yesterday meant anything about us and Detroit in the long run. I do not think Detroit is any kind of juggernaught, but they are the better team than the crew we threw on the floor yesterday. The game was decided on the energy of our team, pumped up in front of the home crowd for the first time since the trade, and the lack thereof from Detroit, at the tail end of a long road trip. Those conditions are unlikely to repeat themselves, and therefore its a fun win, but not one you can draw too many conclusions about except that it had to give us a real boost to our flagging confidence.

Brickie,
I think the 'newbies" challenged some of your emphatic statements for good reason, and I might add, with honest hearts. Long-time posters around here generally defer to your well-founded opinions, but that is what they are. Contrary posters, antagonists, and assorted free-spirits often ebb into other domains of the Internet rather than argue. Leave to a few new kids on the block to not realize how great you really are.
Newbies,
I think Brickie knows a lot more about basketball than I do, and probably many other posters, but he generally comes off a bit strong. (Realize that he does this sort of thing for a living.) In my opinion, your opinions are as valid as most others. Don't retreat or fade away. Reload and re-engage if you feel so inclined.

They are perfectly free to challenge any of my emphatic statements, however they are not qualified to make statements about my long time posting habits anymore than I could walk into your living room this weekend, look around, and pronounce that you have been a slob since high school. Now badnews may in fact of been lurking in the bushes outside your window, watching you be a slob since high school, but you have no way of knowing whether that's true that, and furthermore know for a fact that you were NOT a slob since high school.
And that's not negotiable, and its got nothing to do with opinions about basketball.
