Monta Ellis: Change We Can Believe In

For what?

marcus and jarmareo got a NC since they have not really added enough time for a grade

and thats y we have guys like you on GSoM, shells. to break things down for the rest of us.

never said bush was a good pres cause he sucked , but obama is a joke , the country is gonna find out the hard way but like u said its better than what we got now ….hahahahaha

Therefore I’m not that blind.

you are that young for some reason i always thought you were like mid 20’s or something haha

in high school as well

  I like them anyway and hope Obama becomes as well loved as Jackie Robinson.

The elected official has all these plans, and I’m sure they’re honest plans, but when it comes to enacting them, it’s impossible. You can’t just add to the budget without increasing taxes or axing other important projects, you can’t just cut taxes without axing important projects. Each step of the way is incredibly difficult and requires a lot of compromise from everybody, which leads to people not getting much what they wanted in the first place. Omnipotent rulers can make changes more quickly, but they aren’t always the best and are far more easily corrupted than elected officials.

The bottom line is that it’s impossible for everybody to be happy. There will always be people who feel they deserve more than they’re getting and that their government should provide it. No system of government will ever solve this problem, the best you can hope to do is to keep everybody happy enough with the status quo to leave it in place.

I’ll ignore the inane resorting to saying this is about the JRich trade since that makes ZERO sense and that’s a pure fabrication of your imagination.

The funny thing is that people seem to forget that the main reason the Warriors are 11-29 is precisely because of Monta going joyriding. He’s an adult who screwed up and has yet to put out a decent apology. Why is there so much Monta worship from the Warriors fanbase?

I’m not saying Monta’s necessarily a bad guy (I don’t know him personally) and I’d guess he’s a decent fellow. But donning Monta in Obama-ish promos is just silly. It really minimizes everything that Obama has accomplished and what his election means to millions of people. Obama is a role model, Monta is not. Hopefully Monta becomes one, but right now he has done very little to deserve a comparison to Obama.

How would you all feel about a Vladamir Radmonovic or Jeff Kent graphic in that Obama styling?

AB1 is just pissed off that JRich is gone and if Monta had other flaws he’d cite them as reasons why he sucks. Take whatever AB1 says with a grain of salt.

Don’t take it personally. Atma is just looking for another opportunity to spew his own personal talking points. He’s kind of the Sean Hannity of GSoM, always pushing his agenda. On a side note I think FJ is more like Alan Colmes, more reasonable but constantly being drown out by his attention hungry partner. =P

I’m sure he understood your analogy… at least I hope he did.

Wake up and realise that when you sign that piece of paper for many millions of dollars you are no longer a stupid kid, but a product and a key part of an oganisaztion that has forsaken others in the belief that, said athlete may bring success to the team. That’s called responsibility.

Monta has a responsibility not to do stupid things like messing around on a moped, because “HE CHOSE” to sign that contract and therefore he chose, to take a position that expected “responsibility”.

Just in case you were not sure what it meant, here is the definition of “responsibility” with my thoughts in brackets:
1. the state or fact of being responsible. (does that include riding a moped!)
2. an instance of being responsible: The responsibility for this mess is yours! (If you screw up, own up and take the responsibility Monta)
3. a particular burden of obligation upon one who is responsible: the responsibilities of authority. (i.e. an NBA Contract)
4. a person or thing for which one is responsible: A child is a responsibility to its parents. (Or a newly signed multi-million dollar player to his franchise)
5. reliability or dependability, esp. in meeting debts or payments. (If you cost the franchise potential money by not making playoffs, then you cannot expect to profit from your contract, i.e the fine)
—Idiom6. on one’s own responsibility, on one’s own initiative or authority: He changed the order on his own responsibility. (i.e. was too immature to get that contract and to understand what it meant for him and his lifestyle)

Many people may have based their season ticket decision on the fact that they enjoyed watching the exciting play of Monta, so please dont come out with the “its just an accident ..get over it” crap, unless of course if you were in his position, you would offer to pay some money of that fat contract back to the season ticket holders that had to secure their seats before said act of arseheadedness!

It’s called accountability and when you learn to drive a car, you accept accountability, if you own a firearm you learn accountability, likewise if you sign such a contract you SHOULD learn accountability.

When you grow up a bit, you will come to understand why so many people are so pissed off at Monta still, especially as AB1 has pointed out, he has not formerly apologized for his behaviour. Whereas what he really needs is a size 12 boot buried deep in is backside.

All that said, I look forward to his return and hope he is close to his previous performance capability, that way I dont feel like he completely screwed the team this year, which is how I and many others feel.

Is that simple enough for you to now understand?

and a rec.
