There are certain posters around here, who become so heavily emotionally invested in certain marginal players, that they feel obligated to start a thread every time "their guy" breaks wind. See, I told you he was going to have a break out season. Why did we ever trade him. He's a future all-star. Trading him costs us any chance at being a dynasty.
Heaven forbid any of these guys ever actually do anything significant. A guy scores four points and gets one assist in his crappy team's 16 point loss and he gets not one, but TWO threads dedicated to this monumental accomplishment.
These so-called fans often cheer for "their guy" to succeed, and his replacement to fail, just so they can feel vindicated in their irrational jock sniffing of some marginal talent that once upon a time wore a Blazers uniform. That's right. They put their love of "their guy" ahead of the teams' success. They bash our GM, our coach and our remaining players in a pathetic attempt to make "their guy" look good.
I started my Theo Ratliff thread to mock this stupidity. I have now adopted Theo as "my guy" and will honor this board with regular updates of his awesomeness (you know, like anytime he scores at least 2 points in a game, blocks a shot, or plays more than 0:30 in a game). Because, evidently these sorts of things are considered thread worthy around here.
Damn, I blew my "OT: Theo a starter for CHA!" thread opportunity. Oh well, maybe Diaw will go down and I will get a chance to start an "OT: Tyrus a starter for CHA!" thread, or maybe an "OT: Brockman a starter for SAC!" Who is Joey Dorsey playing for these days? Anybody pick-up Shavlik Randolph or Michael Ruffin? How about a Brian Skinner appreciation thread?
