Felton has been getting pummeled by the fans and the media like he's our rental punching bag that has the value of a used condom. Nate is talked about like he has fetal alcohol syndrome and is more like Coach from CHEERS than the assistant coach of the US national team. And this is by our own B.E.'rs. If L@aker fans were to say that stuff, there would be martial law. It's like the phenomenon where you can talk bad about your mom, but if someone else does...

I'm not saying that they don't deserve critical examination. Every player, coach, and staff member at every level should be under the microscope. Sometimes criticism can motivate a player, such as Aldridge, who made it a point to not be considered "soft". However, at some point, the negativity crosses the line and takes away from the team.

Now you might be thinking, "Kev. sure you're strong, fast, and powerful, but what makes you an expert"? Or perhaps, "Kev. you've made some negative comments in the past". The thing is, when I say mean stuff I'm usually joking. Also, I happen to enjoy getting a buzz and creating some controversy every so often. I sincerely hope it doesn't take away from the team.
