Nope, can't have that, Bird. Either you agree that everything totally and utterly sucks or you clearly have no standards whatsoever and/or are a poor innocent completely blinded by your green glasses. In either case incapable of seeing the light <can a get a hallelujah?> None of that middle ground nonsense. COMMIT I SAY, COMMIT <say hallelujah>Yeah, that's it. We're "pleased with mediocrity". It couldn't be that we're now a decent team after years of mediocrity (under Pitino) or downright sucking (under ML). Perhaps it's a matter of seeing that, just as it's a matter of seeing that there *are* faults with the team.From :RickDHome@xxxxxxx It may be a matter of standards.

No, I don't think he can, given the realist/apologist extremism and what he thought the post was about. Which is fine, as I didn't expect everyone to. I'll settle for having amused a few people in the process of blowing off some of my own frustration.I think Kim's subtle point about Easy Ed was both clever and akin to this subject. Look harder, you'll see it.And belaboring Wallace's failings is not akin to talking about Easy Ed. It has direct relevance to what's happening on the court today.
Make that a double.I suspect the Wallace apologists were the Pitino apologists were the M.L. apologists.... It's a familiar tune.Heh. I suspect you suspect incorrectly.
