Josh Carlton’s subtle dig at the fan base

[temery]

If it helps them get fired up to win games, they can hate every fans guts for all I care lmao

I've thought about giving them some 'yarders addresses as a graduation present.

I think I can help figure a couple out tom LOL

Glad you guys never gave Taliek mine

 

[freescooter]

I think it's supposed to mean that nobody cared about them before, but now that they're playing better everyone is coming back and acting like they care?

Golly Jew wilikers. Imagine that. Fans go to see teams that play well and win and don’t go to see teams that don’t play well and lose. Who would have ever imagined?

If you win they will come. If you're 7ft tall and refuse to dunk the ball, but rather try finesse layups that you miss half the time, you will get called out for it

Josh and the players feel within reason to question some “fans” who tout fandom but turn off and bad mouth when things are going bad. I for one don’t get the thinking that somehow spending money and time shields anyone from criticism by players. Some here should look in the mirror when questioning others who MAY be interjecting a perceived critical point of view or expression. Maybe he reacted out of a point of frustration- something that never happens on the BY We all are guilty. Great win yesterday and let’s keep the mojo working.

I also think it's Josh having Chief's back.

True.

 

[Caronimo]

True.

The fans want to support all players but will react to bad play when they see it. They aren't fans (fanatics) for no reason and when you come to Connecticut we expect greatness. We are there to cheer and support but at the same time expect you to play well, or at least respectable, most of the time.

Chief grinding hard this week I assume given the depressing Akok situation.

Josh has put up with a lot of criticism, only AG has taken more incoming. But he has always represented the university well. He has worked hard and is a good teammate. I would cut him a little slack.

 

[imno1]

Josh needs to realize that most of his fans have spent more time practicing free throws than he has.

doubt it

I don't think that's kosher.

Not everyone on the boneyard is "real fan". Just because someone posts a lot doesn't make it so.

Not to pick on this one poster, but this post illustrates the point brilliantly. I don't -- many of us don't --think that kind of snide remark belittling a player is something that belongs in college sports. Criticism of AG's getting stuck in the lane with the ball or Carlton's inability to finish inside is fine. But trashing the person himself is not.

I think players get that better than "fans" do. And I know I'll now hear that people are free to say whatever they want yada yada yada.

Blessed is he who expects nothing,

Is that true of you, or are you just trying to trigger the profanity filter?

Golly Jew wilikers.

Please tell me this was an autocorrect error.

 

[2north]

Please tell me this was an autocorrect error.

Don’t think autocorrect does that for me, just sayin.

 

[BlueDogs]

Josh deserves every bit of criticism for his poor play and every bit of praise he’s earned for is inspired play. World isn’t black or white.

Just tryin' to provide a gentle path to the Edit function.

Really. Talk about sanctimonious pomposity. FIve stars to you. That is a about a player standing on a free throw line and tossing up bricks because he hasn't worked hard on this aspect of his game. Free throw shooting takes practice. I spent hours working on free throw shooting. I suspect there dozens of members who also worked long hours on their free throw shooting. Criticizing a basketball player for bricking free throws is now off limit? What is the name of your law firm: Snowflake, Snowflake and Snowflake.

No you didn’t criticize him for missing free throws you criticized he work ethic.
Thats personal .
He has poor shooting form and he may practice free throws more than Vital.
Practice doesn’t translate into success especially for Bigs with poor basic shooting practices.
You can grove a golf swing by taking a million practice shots but if the basic swing is off don’t expect results.

So true.

Geezus, you're really doubling down on stupid.

Oh you spent hours? I’m sure josh hasn’t spent hours shooting free throws in his almost 3 years, “great” “point” you pathetic S hole of a fan. I don’t think Josh needs your praise when he has a good game, you’re the worst kind of fan. Just curse bad shooting at your walls or your 2 dogs, no one needs to see or hear it. Do you people think it makes you a better basketball mind to talk shot about kids?

I gotta say, you’re a breath of fresh air. When the usual clowns become repetitive and boring it’s nice to have some new blood whose every post makes you want to throw your computer out the window.

I can’t believe you didn’t realize how clownish this post was while you were typing it, sharon.

Shaq disagrees with you, by the way, but you probably practiced more than him too.
