Message: [QUOTE="homunculus, post: 5129886, member: 3170"] This is all I can think about. I have been on the Boneyard almost daily since the late 90’s, usually lurking, handing out “likes.” It’s a bit of an addiction. Plenty of great times, plenty of bad times. In January of 2023 this place was so toxic, so hysterical (the un-funny kind) that I actually had to step away for a couple weeks. There are already people in this thread saying “that team was different!” Every team is different. But some things never change. Newton was a complete bust. We didn’t have a point guard. Jackson was literally a liability should never see the floor. Hawkins was too streaky and was too weak, a matador on D. Sanogo was undersized and could not guard bigger centers. Couldn’t even dunk! Hurley might never win a tournament game. The players are now different (mostly). The comments are the same. You want to know the funniest part? All those comments were [I]essentially true[/I] at the time they were posted in 2023! This is a process. It just might take longer than one season, this time. Will we win the championship? No, unless Reed discovers a defensive monster inside himself, and even then it’s probably a long shot. Is this season completely lost? Too early to tell, it depends on how quickly they all adapt. It was obvious before Maui that the team hadn’t figured out all the roles. March is a long ways away. [/QUOTE]
