These young men are playing defeated, you can look at them and tell. And for sure each of them is disheartened by the nastiness of some of the comments here. They are young and don't have the wisdom that we adults (should) have.
So, while you vent and have opinions, do so. But try doing so with care. Just because you have a mouth doesn't make it right to spew any and everything from it.
Discretion folks....discretion.
I think the anonymity of the internet gives folks bigger balls than usual.
I agree that personal attacks on players is in poor taste, and will say so when I see it, but as fans it is appropriate to speak about individuals' performances on the court. Like the saying goes "criticize the performance, not the performer".
My advice to you is if you see a personal attack here on a player then you should address it directly. Your broad based defense in bold, hyper color is a general statement, I can't agree or disagree with you unless you speak to specific comments. No need to yell, we will read your post but right now you're being hyperbolic and nonspecific.
