    Since prognosticators are fervent on this site, I decided to make a thread specifically for "eating crow".

    I myself have not been immune to eating crow. I've noticed myself being more "cautiously optimistic (Season isn't over, but the last few games have sucked)." So, this'll be used for any asinine things I say as well. I can admit when I'm wrong.

    I really just want a place for people to be honest and say "Well, shit, I fucked up!" Because it's just a message board.

    This can be retroactive, too, if you want.

    Like, for me, Mo has been much better than I thought he would be (Good Mo, Bad mo)...

    Batum is much harder to replace than I previously thought.

    Initially I wasn't happy with the trade for Robin Lopez. However, he's become a stud for our team as the defensive anchor.

    Now, he's one of my favorite players on the team. Rock on, Caveman!

    Oden wasn't as good as I hoped.

    I was wrong that cmeese47 would see the error of his opinions about LMA if I only took the time to explain it to him carefully. ;)

    I thought Wes would have more impact with LaMarcus out than he has had

    I cringe whenever Wes has the ball in his hands. He tries to do way too much and go beyond his abilities. Like that over the backboard shot as an example. I like Wes when he is being set up for corner threes. You can tell almost immediately if it's not going to be his night so they should quit giving him the ball trying to create with his poor handles and decision making.

    Agree. Wes excels at posting up and the catch and shoot.
