Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition
From: (Anonymous)Look, if you're not arguing about the timing, then why are you putting Cups ---> bad --> rebuild in my mouth and saying you disagree with it when you could just as easily acknowledge mediocrity is often a stop on the way to bad?
Second, there's no such thing as *perpetual* mediocrity. No team goes eight years without either making the playoffs or falling down the standings.
My point is it doesn't matter. Whether they are terrible for the next 8 years or only sort of good or win another cup, eventually they will start rebuilding as all teams do, and unless it takes them more than 30 years, it won't be the least bit remarkable. The Hawks are not special snowflakes of handicappedness.
Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition
From: (Anonymous)I think you still haven't understood what my point is re: badness versus mediocrity and the Hawks' contract situation, which is maybe my own fault by this point. Maybe the issue is partly that we clearly understood different things by mediocrity. If perpetual mediocrity means eight consecutive years missing the playoffs (in a league where more than half the teams make it) but not falling down the standings, sure, no one does that. I was thinking also of fruitless and inevitable-feeling first-round exits, or like someone else commented, years of unmemorable mediocrity and a 12th to 16th overall first round pick. But we clearly aren't getting anywhere with this, so like I said, let's just agree to disagree.
