It has struck me how Turgeon looks like a turtle
How much have you been paying for gas?Critical thinking? What is this, a college? This is the freaking Boneyard.
Ah yes, the honeymoon phase is over. Welcome to the real Boneyard.I only found out about The Boneyard around a year ago. It’s been a fun community to be a part of and educational on an array of topics not limited to basketball. That said, I’ve been disturbed by the reactionary and sometimes callous takes that emanate from this place. I think, for me, the board is a little more enjoyable in the off-season, when people aren’t on edge as much.
Mascot and coach simultaneously. Double whammy
A conundrum!@UCTitleTown, I corrected it for you.
Too many believe having someone agreeing a point of view is a display of sound thinking.
Disagreeing with a point of view means the person disagreeing is crazy, nuts or anything else.
As for discussing UConn basketball for this tourney, put me in this column. Team is inconsistent and flawed. And they are inconsistently inconsistent. If they were consistently inconsistent the coaches could work on mitigating the consistent inconsistencies.
Unfortunately when players are inconsistently inconsistent the coaches don't know if any remedies will actually lead to improvement.
Some things like getting Adama to back off going after offensive rebounds on missed FT"s can probably be coached. But I don't think there is anything SH and his staff can do to make Polley a more consistent shooter.
Critical thinking is a conundrum and gas is $2.70/gal I think I covered everything.A conundrum!
It comes down to this my phoney friend, we all see what is going well and what isn't. If you chose to glass half empty it in a year when there's so much more to be grateful for than find fault with you're starting on thin ice. Can you express doubt in the team or coach? Sure. Can you wonder if we'll give our best effort? Absolutely!What happened to be relatively objective? Yes we are UConn fans but when did UConn become infallible? Did all the posters who bring a level of critical thinking get banned, have kids, move on to crypto? What happened to this place?
To keep this on topic, we are discussing UConn men’s basketball. I’ll hang up and listen.
Well played...this had me laughingI critically think this team is made up of a good bunch of guys giving us their best shot. What trying to pass for critical thinking here is mostly just chirps from the peanut gallery.
It's not about exuberance or wishing to run the team down. It's that this place has become near nonstop hottakes, largely from people who have no idea what they're talking about, and so the good posters are more downed out than they used to be and otherwise good posters are often in a position to assume stupidity in lieu of good faith because more likely than not the poster is clueless.It comes down to this my phoney friend, we all see what is going well and what isn't.

It is possible we are past the point of critical thinkingWhat happened to be relatively objective? Yes we are UConn fans but when did UConn become infallible? Did all the posters who bring a level of critical thinking get banned, have kids, move on to crypto? What happened to this place?

I’ve been questioning this myself, even mentioned the sort in a few of my recent posts.I’m not sub posting you. I would have called you specifically like I call out other stupid posters ask @CL82 about it. I’m calling out the smart posters and wondering where they’ve gone I want to talk basketball.
nice whine. do we have to submit some kind of 'declaration of ncaa mbb games watched' on the tube before we are permitted to comment?It's not about exuberance or wishing to run the team down.
