For as good as IT has played tonight (and no, it hasn't been perfect) he sure is taking a lot of poopoo on this board.

Part of it is due to the attitude of the IT fanboy contingency. Part of it is due to the attitude of a number of us who are sick and tired of listening to Grant and Jerry pontificate about the greatness that is IT while we watch the stupid Pizza Guy commercial 60 times a game. Part of it is due to the message board mentality that always has to have someone to pick on. And part of it is because we're losing.

He's been scorched on D as bad as ever - but nothing new. Lucky for him Rudy has bailed him out several times with couple weak side blocks and all sorts of help D for little IT.
 
Whether anyone likes it or not, the kings were trailing 2 when IT was taken out..a minute later they're now trailing 7.
 
Misfit lineup out there right now

Who is the fanboy contingency? Why aren't they entitled to support IT without disrespect?

There's no IT fanboys that I've seen in this forum.. most are just kings fans trying to defend their favorite king player on one of the most anti-thomas sites I've been on. I'm in the middle. I believe he's a 6th man and I would have loved that trade for Rondo.. it's a little weird how anti-thomas people are on here, but we all agree that he's the best 6th man starting pg, but on SB Nation they're so pro-thomas that they hated the idea of trading IT straight up for Rondo.. they believe he's a top 15pg.
 
If Rudy and IT could find a way to work together, I think we might be able to get the lead back. Find a way to get Ben some open set looks. (And of course as I was typing that, Ben found a way to miss another easy lay-up...)
 
Rudy deserves a lot more criticism than Thomas tonight. Want to talk about forced shots? Almost all of Gay's shots have been heavily guarded attempts.
True, but I'd then ask, "why isn't anyone creating better looks for him within the offense?"

Does our PG not have a responsibility to get our #1 option out there better looks so he doesn't have to force? Rudy generally doesn't force when he's being set up.

No, there are a couple of IT fanboys. For the most part, however, I will agree that there are a lot of fans who really like IT and want to defend him when, if they really looked at what was being said (with some obvious exceptions) they would realize most of us feel the same about the bottom line. IT isn't starting point guard material. He is best suited as a 6thman, but with our current lineup that's simply not possible.

When you keep referring to people as being anti-Thomas, you're as far off as you think I am when I refer to IT fanboys. Most of the old-timers around here have been through these types of things before. We're gonna complain about IT as long as he's playing "out of position" because he's not what we want to see as a point guard and he frustrates the hell out of us.

As I said above, if some people would quit trying to constantly put IT on a pedestal, others wouldn't have to try so hard to knock said pedestal down.

Let me get this straight: none of you guys are fanboys, but we're all "anti-Thomas." Is that how it works?

.. it's a little weird how anti-thomas people are on here...

...but we all agree that he's the best 6th man starting pg...
These statements are incongruous.
