The prolonged tailspin that this franchise has been mired in for the last two months has manifested itself into something much uglier. Fans are quickly coming to the realization that this season has been an unmitigated disaster with far reaching ramifications that might linger for years to come.
This realization was born out of disappointment of the teams current lack of direction and has regrettably evolved into hate. Fans have become so angry that an air ball can serve as a catalyst for this unbridled rage.
We have begun systematically turning on anyone and everyone in search of a scapegoat. Whether it be Bosh for failing to lead this team, Bargs for his unfulfilled potential, or the front office for masterminding this melt down.
I know everyone's angry, I'm angry too, but all this negativity towards the team and each other over who is more responsible for the teams inadequacies is getting out of hand. Everyone in the franchise is responsible to some degree, but pointing these angry fingers at Jose for his matador defense or Turk for his laissez faire attitude is not really part of the solution.
Yes, this team is in bad shape and Bosh would be crazy to resign, but all is not lost. Weems and Derozan are the two most promising wing players since the caustic cousins were reigning. Bargs, while certainly not of the franchise saving mold is still a very talented player who can't possibly have any more backward steps left to take.
Rather than focus on all the negative aspects of this team, can we not end the season with a little dignity and class. For all the energy we expend booing the constant miscues, why not redirect our energies towards the stellar play of Weems and Jack. Two guys who have been killing themselves and have refused to give up on this season, this team or themselves.
