GAME 2: Brooklyn Nets (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-0) | 120-125 WIN!!!!!

[surfpuckmd]

Ok I hear you and I’ve heard this position on this board many times. I have a solution in two parts. When I still had season tickets thru 2014 I used to listen to Randy Gallaway. He had over reaction Monday. The key to this show was everything was based on win or lose.  When Mavs win we place strong emphasis on the positives and pick the team apart with constructive criticism after losses. This solves what some including me are frustrated with by putting a guiding rule in place. When the game is over and we win it’s over reaction Monday on positive observations and the same when we lose about constructive observations. PS. During the game I don’t see any way to solve frustration posting. I simply decide to watch on League Pass and read later.

Part 2. Some are using a lot of hate toward certain players coaches etc. That aspect of this board that has been a part of this board for many years but needs to be toned down or at least stopped after wins. This is also true about those times we fall into spats simply trying to prove our position directly against another Maverick fan. Both of these dynamics have cost all of us many valued poster’s including potentially at least 3 today. 

Killer has been doing a great job of leading us toward a better board. Let’s follow his example. One example is give our beloved Champion Mr. Jason Kidd another chance.

You seem like a nice person and I bet you're a great neighbor.  Anyway, I appreciate your proposal and general positivity.  However, I think message board behavior probably can't be manipulated by kindness and decency.  I also think the arguments on message boards are what is entertaining.  If everyone agrees with everything, then I don't really want to participate.  

I will try to be a bit more positive in my analysis of the players post-victory.  In my short time posting, I have generally defended the players that other posters roast-  Dwight Powell and THJ.  I was also a big advocate of signing DJJ so I'll defend that player as well.  I think it's still fair to criticize individual player performance after a game though.  These are professionals and not our children.   I don't think I'll be able to say a lot of nice things about Jason Kidd though without lying.  I think he's proven to be one of the 3 worst coaches in the NBA and he's separating himself from that pack so far this season with his lineup decisions.

Anyway, I appreciate your response and hope you maintain your positivity even after the inevitable losses.  It is definitely welcome here.
