But yeah lmao.

The settings are completely different. Just because LoaP didn't say it doesn't mean he didn't possibly imply it..

Yeah, the latter is much more lame to hate on someone like LOAP did w/ Rubio.

All I'm saying is don't be the positivity police if you spent the first half of the year trashing Rubio and calling for him to be benched for Raul Neto.

I also thinks its different to be negative about rubio while he playing negatively than to be a hater (negative) on something that donovan mitchell just won (a positive).

I think the award should go to the player with the best dunk of the night. Not sure of the format on how to get there though.

No, the award should go to the dunker that entertained us the most, and all the way through. I'm pretty sure Mitchell had only one missed dunk, seemed the others were missing multiple dunks every round almost, that kills anticipation for me. Mitchell even said it himself he changed his dunk after the miss to keep everyone's excitement level up to get more points.

Except that the game of basketball is much more nuanced than a dunk contest and Rubio's play was obviously a process that some people chose to ignore.

Specially with ******** about how he doesn't meet your technical specifications that you decided the dunk contest should be all about.

I never trashed Rubio, and I avoid trashing Jazz players in general. But there is a difference between someone bitching about a player hurting the team, and some uppity complaints about being unimpressed with the difficulty of DM's dunk mechanics, when everyone is celebrating an awesome night.

I just dont have a problem with saying a player sucks when he sucks. I dont remember anyone saying he was playing great while he was playing like dog crap. That would be weird to me.

Plus he came out for the first dunk of the night and nailed it. I mean I get that there aren't really bonus points for not missing, but maybe there are bonus points for not missing.

Cy would argue with a ****ing mail box if it argued back.

You arent the person complaining about people being critical of the dunk contest.

 

[fishonjazz]

Talking negatively about a player who is playing like crap and hurting the team while he is playing like crap and hurting the team makes sense to me.
Talking crap about a dunk contest that donovan mitchell just won makes less sense to me. If you are fan of the jazz anyway. I can understand it more if you are not specifically a jazz/Spida fan.
