Also true for any starter. Come on now, you know better than to try and use GM-speak as proof of player worth. There are better ways to prove...
That's a lot of money for a seventh option though, right? And the things that frustrate a lot of fans aren't going to be found in the stat line,...
That's perfectly plausible. Lin clearly would benefit in that situation. But as you referenced, if we did that here we would likely still be...
This is what I was getting at. You can be logically correct about something without stating it in such an inflammatory manner. It's like...
And that's why you're getting blasted. You're basically calling our fan base hypocrites. No hard core fan is going to be totally objective....
A team built around Lin and his strengths will absolutely benefit his stats/performance. But is it a formula for long term success? The small...
So, a fan base that is biased towards their own player is surprising to you? Hell, I think we'd all agree that Pat is the kind of player that you...
Coaches take the brunt of the blame and get little credit. When things fall apart we're always quick on the blame trigger but when things are...

Seriously? It only took me a few months of browsing here and following on Twitter before it was pretty clear. Reading the history of Clutchfans...
Well said. I particularly agree with the short memory comment. I often wonder how quickly people forget just how good we have it now in...
So let me get this straight. You're criticizing someone for using a "small sample" (which wasn't all that small, by the way) but now you're...
This makes sense. Howard isn't the lost post ISO threat you build a team around, even though he did amazingly well in Orlando. He's a force, but...
So teams haven't been trying to shut down the three and penetrate focus of our offense? I think if it was that easy to stop we wouldn't be...
I've actually seen improvement in his post play since he came into the league. Although that's not saying a whole lot. Amazingly enough he's...
Best one I've heard yet. Ya have my vote for sure.
Again, my point was that athletes can sometimes play above their "average" play level and occasionally into elite level. That doesn't make them...
