The 'Crap, I've been proven wrong!' thread

[Strenuus]

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.

 

[Hobbesarable]

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!

I don't like turtles.

 

[Stevenson]

Oden wasn't as good as I hoped.

 

[julius]

Turned out I DID have sexual relations with that woman.

 

[jlprk]

It's halftime and Crabbe hasn't played yet.

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.

Hey you might of had a chance if I thought 42% was a good shot.

they were a one hit wonder with Happy Together though

Why is that?

I thought we would win the game tonight.

Did somebody give you a tough time?

 

[riverman]

I have a negative affirmation allergy...it flared up

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

 

[riverman]

repped!

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.

I've learned a simple rule: if I am optimistic about something, I am almost certainly wrong.

and you promised you'd pull out before that all happened right?

 

[riverman]

But you're right about that

Either your welcome or I am sorry

They weren't a one hit wonder. Plenty of their songs had radio play.

Such has, Elenore, It Ain't Me Babe (although that was a cover), She'd Rather Be With Me, You Baby and You Showed me (although that was a cover), on top of Happy Together.

I support the scrubs, maybe I shouldn't, but they are blazers dammit, go scrubs! Get better!

 

[riverman]

I thought I'd never prefer sweatpants to blue jeans, ever!

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I thought Wes Matthews would get better at handling the basketball.

 

[riverman]

I thought Neil Olshey would be more visible this season and more vocal. He's kind of disappeared from the media.

I thought for a moment perhaps some posters here were better than me but I quickly realized I was mistaken and am still the best in the world.
