tyrant rants...

hmmmmm. this is off topic, but i wonder what we would look like if we moved bibby to the 2 instead of trading him. beno at the pg, bibby at the sg, and artest at the sf. didnt we move mike to the sg spot during one of those playoff series so he could have a easier time getting open and getting shots?
 
Why do people continue to want to compare to last year? It isn't last year. Last year - or yesterday - is gone, never to return.

What I've seen in the past few games with Spencer and Shelden gives me hope for the future and that's what matters. Beno, Martin, Salmons, Williams and Hawes - with Garica and Douby coming off the bench, along with some other new faces to be named later - is something to look forward to. We live through the now to get to that future, and quite frankly, even with the problems I think we're in a much better place than we were last year.

whatever your perception is thats fine, but if you think there is no where to go but up you're dead wrong. you dont build the future forgetting about the past. you use the past to build on the future. something is wrong with this team. we've gotten rid of any player that has put us in a position to win games. we let bonzi walk, got rid of bibby, etc. we cant build a playoff contender with ron artest and a bunch of kids. and its scary because i have no idea which direction we're trying to go.
 
Oh, so now we should have kept Bibby? Some things are worth trying to discuss. With you, however, it's like continuing to beat your head against a wall, hoping the wall will break.

Sorry, tyrant, I simply can't take the headache any longer.
 
You are forgetting Theus was without 3/5s of his starting lineup for a third of the season. I think its amazing we have this record. Actually 4/5ths because Mikki hardly qualifies as a starter. This season is MUCH more enjoyable than last.
 
27-34 now. last year on march 6th we were 28-32. talk about coaching and rebuilding. im not shocked we stink, im shocked we had a better season with musselman. we even started off 8-5 last year. whats really the reason we stink more than last year

So I expect that if we win two in a row your going to make a post about how our record this year is better then last year. Wait till the season is over and then you can compare the two, and even then I would find it challenging to do so. From my perspective this season is a million times better then last year, we have been able to watch some young guys develop, and we have witnessed Brad having a better season then maybe he has ever had.
 
I actually expect a worse record down the stretch of this season than last, because we have a tougher schedule.

Also, believe it or not, I thought we were a better team with Mike Bibby. I'm not mad we traded him though, the rebuilding needed to start. Though if we find out that Bibby was traded JUST for some cushioning from the luxury tax, I'm going to be pissed.
 
How many threads are you going to make comparing this team to last year? Who cares..

If you want that team back, along with the coach from last year I suggest you buy a time machine....



These bashing posts by tyrant are starting to remind me of a certain Larry guy that posts a lot of trade ideas..

i refuse to dig through old threads to try and prove my point, but for the past couple months all ive done was say how much this team bounces up and down more than a see-saw. they'll win 3 games then they'll lose 4 straight. its so repetitive a soccer mom could predict it.

Truer words have never been spoken.
 
maybe i should rewrite my statement. since some people around here need a full paragraph to understand what's being said. VF21 stated that its like im continuing to beat my head against a wall hoping ill break through. i simply replied.... that if you dont understand the things that i post. I, or anyone else for that matter can or will force you into believing what you dont want to believe. no matter how much it bleeds no one is going to pound your head into a brick wall until you speak the words they want you to speak. if you dont understand my point of view about the topic then fine. any questions pm me and ill send another paragraph

There is a difference between not understanding and not agreeing. That was my point.

This thread is punishing me. complete sentences and correct punctuation are you friends when explaining things in forums. In this thread, two unrelated things are happening:

1. People disagree with your statement that the team is worse this year than last year. Your position is based on win/loss record. Other people's position is based on personnell changes, strength of schedule, and team attitude.

2. People don't understand what you're saying. This is caused by sentences like
"that if you dont understand the things that i post. I, or anyone else for that matter can or will force you into believing what you dont want to believe."
In this sentence you indicate that if people don't understand what you post, you or someone else will force them into believing what you post, which they don't want to believe. I believe what you meant to say was:
Mookie said:
"If you don't understand what I post, and therefore disagree with me, I can't force you into agreeing with me, because you won't know what I'm trying to say anyway"

You'll get better traction and a more interesting discussion based on facts and opinions if your message is clearer.
 
i think what might of threw you off was that i missed the ' and the t after the word can. i meant to say can't. im just assuming thats why you were having a hard time with it. and why you couldnt understand my post. funny how one word can throw off a sentence, but if you actually read through the tread and not skim through it....

One definition of insanity, is, to keep doing, and in this case saying, the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The one thing thats absent from your post, and most of your posts is LOGIC. You want it to be black and white. This year and last year. Hell, why not pick 5 years ago? Shouldn't our record be just as good as the year we almost won the championship? And if not, why not?

Sometimes I think you post what you post just to get a rise from people. I certainly hope thats the case. Because if not, your simply making a fool of yourself. And I'm saying that with your best intrests at heart. Please don't be close minded. When just about everyone disagree's with you, don't always circle the wagons. Listen to what people are saying in response to you, and maybe you might change your mind, or at least alter your thought process.

One suggestion, if possible, never post anything based on emotion. Always try to post with logic and facts as your base, and by facts, I mean all the facts, not just the selective one's that fit your agenda. If that doesn't work for you then take a couple of valium and a cervesa and go to bed.

don't blame your poor grammar and incorrect punctuation on me, the reader, for "skimming" it. If I had skimmed your post it would have made ZERO sense.

Ok, I'm leaving it at that. No more, even if you throw more bait out there.

Like a Canadian, I'm Oot of this thread.

back to the thread. its more than just 1 game. we're farther away from .500 than we were last year at this time. some say its personnel changes, motivation, etc. i didnt agree with that because martin has had a good season, miller has had his best season as a king so far. moore is probably a tad better than kenny thomas. so who knows why we suck more. (shruggs)

Do you realize you say the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. Please, someone, just agree with tyrant so he can move forward.
