Are most of us honest when a player outperforms our low expectations of them?

From time to time

But what does that have to do with anything

You need to admit that YOU were wrong on lance Stephenson.


I said he disappointed me. This is after most of the board said he wouldn't even make it in the league and being proven right for some time. You're excluding that now?

Speak on the entire thing if you're going to dikkride correctly. You're on the tip when I'm a footlong. :heh:

Like damn...What Lance do to you?

It's really annoying though.

Plenty of players I've thought would be bums who've gone on to shine. You just have to fall back sometimes. But the retarded love to :lift:at the process and at the end of the day, come off as bitter bytches wanting someone to fail.

Seems to make up most of AM white sports radio talk as well.

They rather give the coach credit

Instead of people not admitting those Bucks players are better than they estimated they credit Kidd for being some type of defensive guru :mjlol:

It's not any different other way around (ie people underperforming)

People Iove to be right and hate to be wrong. This board also like most other Internet boards have people delusional like their opinion matters so I'm guessing a lot of posters are genuinely hurt when shyt goes against their points.

I agree. It's a mark on the ego sometimes. It's when that ego is at the controls and decides that it should leap common sense at all costs because it refuses to stand down when seeing the obvious.

You'd figure we're all grown here and none of us have lived a life where we haven't been wrong about anything. :heh:

shyt, i hate LeBron but he nice. Not as nice as people claim but he good. This whole slurping of him having a 3-0 lead on ATL is comedic. Who the fukk plays for ATL? The fact that ATL is even in the ECF plays to how terrible the east really is. That's not moving goal posts thats fact stating.

I'm pretty happy an ignored member is posting in here. He probably has something stupid to say I don't need to read anyway. :heh:

They won 60 games and beat some quality teams during their win streak. Calling them trash in retrospect is moving goal posts. You can only beat who's in front of you and Lebron deserves credit for doing that.

In retrospect to what? They won 60 games but they not playing the best player(s) night after night either. I don't give credit for doing what you're supposed to do. The Hawks have zero dynamic players. They have no player that excels at anything.

This can be solved very easily... Nobody wants to admit when they're wrong.

The Cavs are expected to sweep the Hawks? Plenty of journalists and analysts were calling for the Cavs to lose this round.
