Some Love for Scal

[EJPLAYA]

Don't hold back now Dark One. Tell us how you really feel about the guy...

Kind of funny how a 12th man last year gets ripped for not playing a bunch of time on a championship team.  He has done absolutely nothing but give 100% to this team and he is called garbage?! I think you have indeed given in to the hatred of the dark side... How sad.

i DID give him props....see my original post (i quoted and bold fonted it).  this thread is about scal's recent play.  i gave props for his recent play, but i continue to back my stance that he is a "garbage" player overall.

no shame in my game....i will happily eat crow because he is helping our team.  i still think he is garbage, but i always root for that portly, goofy, redhead

first and foremost, i ask that you do not speak to me with a condescending tone inferring that i am "sad", simply because i do not agree with you.  i have been involved with this community for years and have maintained great communication and relationships with all.  i think i deserve more respect than you are giving.

with regards to being "ripped for not playing a bunch of time on a championship team"....as i previously said in a post, my assessment is over watching his play since his arrival in boston, not just his play from last season.

And another note for the Scal haters. This thread was put out there to show some love for Scal, not have the Scal haters come out and bash him. If you want to post anti-Scal comments then create your own thread and put them on there. Just like Thumpers father said... "if you can't say nothing nice..."

celticsblog rules indicate that you should not label fellow posters within the community, one of the labels listed is "haters".  with regards to this, it appears you are confusing people "hating on" scal's game vs. "hating on" him personally.  personally, i like the guy.  he is funny, down to earth, a nice person when you interact with him (i have had a few personal interactions with the man), and he always gives 100%.  there is a major difference in talking disrespectful about the player as a person and being critical of his performance on the court.  he busts his butt and always hustles, but i dont like his game bc i feel he doesnt produce and doesnt produce consistently.  i respect him for his hustle, but that only goes so far when there is a lack of production.

i have yet to see one "anti scal" comment in this thread.  i have, however, read some posts that are very critical of his game...mine included.  when you create a thread, not everyone will agree with you and may have different feelings, thought, perceptions, etc than you....and thats ok bc that is what makes the blog a special place. 

i think scal is a horrible nba player, but he wears celtic green so i always cheer and root for the guy. i have been a season ticket holder, shelling out thousands of dollars each year, since 1995 supporting this team.  there is no hate here, just some frustration over the years bc i bleed green and invested both my time and money into the organization.  even on the blog, i have been a "glass half full" kind of guy.

dont label people "haters" simply bc they dont agree with your stance.  its detrimental to the celticsblog community.

First of all, you DID NOT give the man props. You said the guy was garbage. It doesn't matter what you surround that with it isn't giving the guy props.

Second of all you don't need to try and change my words around. I said that it is sad that you are trying to disguise your personal hatred for the guy being on this squad with throwing in a comment about him helping our team for a couple games. I said absolutely nothing about you personally being sad. I think it is sad that people on here can have such a bitter attitude about a guy who gives everything he has to be a team player and is a great community guy just because Danny was crazy enough to give him a 3 mil contract. It isn't his fault, and for most of the guys on here that is their only issue with the guy. If he were veteran minimum no one would likely say a word. I was being SARCASTIC with you, not condescending.

Thirdly, I am not sure where this high and mighty "I'm the king of Celtics Blog" "I'm a season ticket holder" information applies, but it doesn't change the fact that you posted a nasty comment in a positive tribute to Scal. If you don't agree, then fine. Just leave it left unsaid, or put it in a thread of your own called "Scal is garbage". There are lots of threads that are asking a question as to someone's worth. There are lots of ridiculous comments on here that are better left alone. This was a positive one to give some love to a guy who only gets ripped on most of the time. THOSE are the types of things that make this a better place. Not nastiness.

i find this very funny....i will use my better judgement and move on.

Probably better for both of us...

I'll second that back at you! Keep up your great overall work/comments on here. I probably just got up on the wrong side of the bed... Happy Thanksgiving.

TP to you as well.
