    I prefer the anecdote "you're only as good as your last game" ;)

    Yeah but the general nba population dont got time or interest to follow rooks. Thats why Mobley gets all the credit for Cleveland ascendance they remember Cavs suck last year they are in playoffs this year so it must be Mobley.

    What is a lot?

    Can you name them?

    Because 2 people can seem like a lot to some people around here.

    Links would be appreciated since you have a specific moment.

    The problem with staring into the sun too long is that you can go blind and get burned and we all know that Green is straight FIRE.

    What are these supposed to prove?

    Is it bad that I had those questions at the beginning of the season?

    Do you want to point why any of those questions were out of bounds?

    Do you want to actually show when I had those questions and then show the statements I have made since the all star break.

    If that's all you got, thanks for proving my point.

    And this is a post right after mine, is he hating as well?

    Not going to lie, looking at this made me mad. I wasn’t expecting such a visceral response. Lmao

    its literally the dumbest thing ive ever heard.

    Well behind the Herb Jones for 1st team all rookie. The Pelicans were 21st in defensive rating giving up 113 points per 100 possessions. Jones' defense sure made a HUGE impact there. BTW, the Pistons gave up 113.8 per 100 possessions - HUGE difference lol.

    It'd be like voting Jalen Green ROTY cause he jumps the highest.

    First you have to believe that Jones is some amazing defender - sorry, I don't. I watched the Pelicans. He was DEFINITELY a plus defender and DEFINITELY on his way to becoming all league defense, but isn't there magically already. Second, if impact on the game from a w/l perspective is now important to some of these guys, you have to prove that it factored in A LOT. And it absolutely factored in... but there's a reason so many of us are focused on the next interior big drafted (or signed) be REALLY good at defense - because in today's NBA, when it comes to 1 defender on a squad making an impact, its that big. Herb Jones could be the best wing defender in history... but the Pelicans defense was still sub-par.

    Quite impressive.
    I figured it's pointless trying to convince a man that truly believes there's only 5 trolls hating on Green on this site or some sht like that.
    Man already admits he doesn't even ventures all the threads, but I applaud your effort.

    Oooh oooh do me. Who did I want the Rockets to draft? I may have even mentioned what spot in the lottery I hoped they ended up at so they would get that particular player.
