You know, you always hear about the negative stuff with our beautiful fan base.
Throwing mustard bottles and golf balls. Being racist toward Cuonzo Martin. Vol Twitter getting people fired. A small, family-owned radio station thwarting a coaching hire. Whacking Jimmy Hoffa.
You get it.
But I think it’s time for these legacy media outlets and slimy journalists to get some new material. It’s time to start showing the positivity from our fans.
We’ve grown as a basketball fan base over the years.
We understand that losses are going to happen throughout the course of the year. Nobody is going undefeated.
We understand that making just four shots in the first half and scoring 15 points — holy fuck — is an anomaly and not the norm.
We should embody the positivity of our legendary head coach Rick Barnes who said after the game,
“This is good for us.”
Below are some of the measured responses from fans after the atrocity that was this game. Everyone is looking at this the right way. I’m sure it would be hard to even find anything negative.
