If by trolling you mean,
Giving some independent thought when people are getting a little carried away is trolling then yes I sure am.
These are not game threads, if it's a gush about a player or don't take part thread then so be it. But I think you are all better than that.
If you can't take an independent thought saying, hey I can see why you like him but he has been a bit beyond he needs a better three point shot from being anything you can play past matchups defensively. He has been stand out terrible offensively. Far more than offsetting his average defense .(average for a rookie being good before anyone gets upset or I'm trolling) what's the point of calling it a discussion?
Its not even an insult about him, I just said calm down basically.
But whatever
There are articles out today, written by actual sports journalists, with titles like "How Semi Ojeleye Saved the Celtics Season." And yet you are upset that posters here are heaping praise on him. Huh.
If you want to post constructively and have an actual discussion, a snarky one-liner isn't the way to do it. Maybe something like, "The defensive performance against Giannis was impressive, but are you Celts fans worried that his offensive liabilities will hurt you against the Sixers? The Celtics are already prone to long offensive droughts. When Semi is in the lineup, the opposing defense really doesn't have to worry about him and it hurts your spacing. Isn't that a problem? Or is it basically just ride-or-die with defense at this point, and the offense is what it is?"
That would be a legitimate point of discussion. Throwing out a one-liner saying, "Whatever, he was the worst player in the league by PIPM [fart noises]" isn't.
I lurk in this forum more than I post, but I think everyone is getting a little tired with your Sean Berry-esque act. People are more than willing to cut slack to fans of opposing teams, so long as they post in good faith, because they're always going to be outnumbered here. There are literally too many posters to name who would be a testament to that. But if you're going to actively troll and then get defensive and play the victim/pile-on card when people rightfully call you out.... I mean, wtf dude. You're better than that.
(Sean Berry wasn't, he sucked, and we're all better off that he took his ball and went home years ago. But I honestly think highly of you as a poster, London, and believe that you are better than this. And I don't think anyone wants to see a bunch of threads devolve into an Everyone vs. LondonSox pissing match.)
