There were quite a few people here (I was not one of them) who were upset with your criticism of Luka last season. I understood where you were coming from, and defended the position.
To me, your comment about those of us who are currently unhappy is just as ridiculous as when they called you a Luka hater.
I have been one of the most Mavs-positive people around here for the past several years. I am allowed to dislike the direction they are (apparently) taking this off-season, and frankly, I feel I’ve earned a little bit of benefit of the doubt by being right on the money with many of my opinions in recent years. I woke up today and felt pretty targeted, tbh. Implications that I’m “irrational” and worse - that I don’t understand BASIC basketball concepts.
I am thrilled about that. Not so much with the idea that the changes coming now are coming to the things I LIKED and thought were WORKING.
My personal opinion. For the most part negative nancy predictions on this board have the highest hit rates. Especially when it comes to offseason moves and trade values. Easy to understand why.We all want the Mavs to succeed and hope for the best. Since I have joined the community we have talked ourselves into all kinds of reasons why player x/y/z will be great in Dallas and the hit rate is probably 1/4. That´s just how it goes.
Being called irrational or worse at this time of the year is pretty normal. Question is how many people will join the irrational crowd during the season.
