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

What is it about many in here where we find it difficult to admit a player we may dislike or expected to fail outplays our expectations?

For many in here, rather than admit they were wrong, they'd rather raise the bar from their initial expectations in order to save face and to satisfy their never can be wrong egos.

Plenty of players I thought would be trash have outplayed my expectations and I had to fall back and acknowledge so. I get it....it's hard to admit one can be wrong. But it's equally retarded to decide to stay stuck on stupid and raise the bar past the initial expectations one has for the player in question because your ego refuses to admit you were wrong.

This mentality seems to reflect the make up of most of the board.

Forget just sports, that mentality is prevalent throughout society. It's maybe just basic human nature. The majority of people don't like to admit they're wrong; it's that simple.

Harden did exceed expectations as a guy who can be a sole star but the post season is a whole different subject.

Do you bookmark each back and forth you've had over the years?

Of course not. That's what the search function is for.
