I know I am.


Three really good players decided they want to play together.  I have no issue with that.

The way one of them went about it and the circus that has followed was awful.



But now, it is just getting annoying listening to everyone (radio, TV, newspapers, and blogs) complaining about it.

No they deserve all the backlash they get.  Especially if they really did tamper.

They are not feeling it.  They are in Miami where they are getting all love.


It is the rest of us having to hear about it over and over.

Ditto.
IMO, this has been in play for 2 years. The whole dog & pony show of Free Agency was just that - a show.

Well the backlash isn't going to go away and no I'm not sick of it.  What I'm sick of is this whole mess and what happened this summer.

There seems to be a lot of hate going their way and I dont get it.

Exactly.

Pretty much every one is doing the opposite of what they were expected to do.

Players are being over paid like crazy.

Some of the trades done to clear space were ridiculous.

And to top it, the way those 3 guys handled the FA they deserve nothing but a backlash.

You mean Wade and Bosh who had a press conference saying they had both signed with Miami together?  Seems very similar to the press conference Pierce, Ray and KG had when those two came to Boston. 


It is Lebron that went off the deep end.

Well if what Brian Windhorst is saying about Pat Riley, Mickey Arison, and Nick Arison is true they deserve all the hate they are getting right now and all the hate they will continuously be getting.

Those three did nothing similar to what the Boston Big Three did!

Actually my bad I will take Wade out, but Bosh behaved like a proper teenage with all that constant tweeting; and then saying that he felt trapped while he was with the Raptors.

It's one thing to go join a new team to have a better chance at winning, but why diss your old team for no reason?

I'm not sick of it yet. But I probably will be soon.

Yeah wdleehi I'm over it too.  They did what they wanted so be it.  The challenge is interesting to me from a competitive standpoint. And D-Wade is still my favorite player and didn't do anything but what everyone expected him to stay where he is.  Bosh looks kind of silly and Lebron handled it poorly from a PR stance but all the hate I think is mostly sour grapes.
