    Nothing wrong w/ that ClutchBro. The problem becomes when you let your fandom of individual players get in the way of your fandom of the team. There are dozens of ways in which that manifests. The most common of which - on this board - is putting down a player to uplift yours.

    It's one thing when the team isn't winning. I get that. It can be difficult to know which players and combinations will be part of a winning formula for the franchise. But when those goobers say the same crap during a 32 win season as they do a 52 win season....block party.

    Definitely. If you closely followed this team and say 3 years ago could only had hoped things would be at this point where they are currently. Yet people are still being negative and pessimistic. Human nature is messed up sometimes.

    If someone tells you that you need to work on a certain aspect of your game then it’s denial. You’re perfect! No need to change!

    If someone critiques a player you love, and you vehemently deny your player has flaws and insult the person this means you think your player is perfect. No need to change!

    “My son has never been in trouble! That’s absurd! He’s never done anything wrong! Not my Johnny!”

    F it Reed, shoot it every time you can. No need to be afraid to shoot when you start 3/4 from three.

    Reed had a horrible first year shooting below 50% TS. Even if he is playing great now it doesnt make his horrible first year magically disappear.

    Castle was indeed the better scorer last year.

    Castle 52.2%
    Reed 46.5%

    This year Reed is proving to be the better scorer. Things change.

    I've noticed that with all the extra minutes and dealing with starter defenders Reed is getting winded pretty quickly.

    Dude REALLY needs to up his conditioning and stamina
