Something that REALLY pisses me off

Alex44 · 10-08-2006, 05:28 PM

When players are smiling after a loss. Never in my life after losing anything have I cracked a smile, so when I see them doing it I really get steamed, I wanted to punch Channing Crowders teeth out after the game, I really dont see the fun in losing

End Rant

as a professional you can't take a loss too harshly. i don't have too much of a problem with it.

Sometimes a smile is needed after a disappointing loss.

and what does that do? how long do you expect him to be inraged with anger? 30 minutes? im sure he was pissed when he realized they lost. but by time the game was over, he was calm.

I thought the front 7 played great. They deserve to laugh and smile. Hell they cant play every position.

Why can't you?? especially for a team going 1-4.

because you're a professional and you have to play a game the following week, which means an entire week of preparation. you're not going to win every game.

No but I want some fire going into next week, not laughing, smiles, pats on the back and some 'we will do better next time I promise

'

i think its more of "hows the family" or "good game" at the end of games when they smile or laugh at something funny, joking

but when it comes to practice, no playing around :tsk:

Rocky Raccoon · 10-08-2006, 08:46 PM

I kind of agree with Alex, it bothers me too. I understand they are professionals and have another game to prepare for but when you lose a game you needed and had multiple chances to win, it's frustrating to see the smiles and laughter. I'm not too worried about it though, they know what's going on.

Crowder was talking to Evans, his former teammate!! Maybe they were friends.

Mike13 · 10-09-2006, 12:01 AM

They are mostly saying "good game, and "how have you been?"
Keep in mind that alot of thses guys have friends on other teams and during the season they really don't have alot of time to hang out.

Yeah like the Dallas Mavericks in the finals (Dirk kicking an exercise machine)... oh wait they still lost the rest of the games.

PhinSoldia · 10-09-2006, 01:05 AM

well i think its (for some players) an "oh well" attitude...which probably got them the lost anyway
