Amen, brutha. That's exactly the way I feel about the recent Barea hate. It just shows an extraordinary lack of reason. Actually, I'm gonna blame Dirk. I'll call it the Dirk Standard. Dirk is out there playing like a Greek god, and I guess as a result some people have come to expect that from every Maverick. Guess what? Mere mortals don't play that way. Mere mortals are going to make mistakes here and there. It's like people don't even realize how good Dirk is, when they start applying that standard to everyone else.
It's gotten so bad that even when guys aren't actually making "mistakes," their head on a pike is being called for. Very frustrating.
