This is a forum, not a bunch of guys sitting around in a room watching a game on a big screen TV. There is no catching tone or facial expression. Words have meanings, and we can't read minds. So if some guy says "This team is shit" I take that to mean he thinks the team is shit. If he had said "This team is playing like shit right now" then I take that to mean he hates the way the team is playing, but recognizes they are capable of better.
If somebody writes, "Why doesn't DeRozan ever drive to the hoop" then I have to assume the writer is blind, or wilfully ignorant because I see DeRozan take it to the hoop every game...not as frequently as I would like, or as frequently as most of us would like, but he does take it to the hoop.
I am not going to apologize for responding to someone who is either writing stuff that is demonstrably wrong, or something that is not what they really mean. On the other hand, if being clear is not important to you, then in future I will ignore this type of post. You can go ahead and keep being ignorant and uninformed...I mean writing as if you are ignorant and uninformed. See the difference?
