    Good for you then. Add to that a pastime of hating on another man on the internets! Making Clutchfans a worse place while doing it.

    No thanks, I’m gonna give my opinion on things. Luckily @Clutch created the ability to ignore, which I highly recommend for you since I’m making your life miserable lol

    This is so obviously self-evident we don't even need a thread for proof.

    Because it’s a thread about Sengun. And I haven’t seen your specific comments about other players. I have seen your relentless attacks on Sengun, though.

    I don’t recall those quotes, but I wasn’t saying build around Sengun. I was saying he’s been praised by other nba players so it’s kind of absurd to argue so adamantly that he’s trash. I’m not biased, I don’t read every post on every thread like I did in HS/college. I spot check for active threads and new news — which is rare during this part of the off season.

    I don’t expect anyone to know my posting history, but I have never disparaged any of our players to the degree that Maj does Sengun. I have noted Sengun’s physical shortcomings in terms of lateral movement and height, and I’ve done the same for Jalen. But I always add positive things and am open about wanting them to succeeed. This guy doesn’t seem to even WANT to be wrong. Every “fan” should HOPE to be wrong when they’re down on a player.

    nothing wrong with criticism. That’s not what he is doing. He’s just coming here to say “he sucks…he’s the worst ever, etc.”

    I mean when you say no players have praised Green while they did with Sengun it shows a clear love of one player and disdain for one especially given it's not true.

    Let's put it this way. If you defended Sengun by merely mentioning how high players and coaches outside the Rockets are of Sengun, I'd agree. That's a valid point. It you had to say "no one has praised Green" which is a active comment of disdain for him.

    I appreciate you linking the quote, but you seem to have the impression I don’t believe they said these things or that these players aren’t special in their own right…

    actually he was sitting in the right corner when they are shooting if there isn't any other curly brown haired white man inthe roster.

    No, it shows I wasn’t aware that they had praised Green — and I’m sure other players have said other nice things about some of our other players that I wasn’t aware of. There is no “clear disdain.” That’s ludicrous.

    not to mention, that comment was meant to show that HOF players are praising Sengun so how can you possibly think he’s “utter trash,” (Maj, not you — and prob not that EXACT phrase). You’re welcome to read into it however you wish, but that’s not at all what I said and I thought that was pretty clear.

    I mean look at the wording of your og sentence. When you defend Swngun by saying "players praise Sengun, not Green" that is a clear distinction where you show disdain for one player and praise for another.

    A) you’re right, I did phrase it that way;
    B) you’re wrong, it was not showing disdain for those players it was in direct relation to the idea that Sengun sucks. Ie how can he suck if these players are praising him? I used kpj and green as examples because they’re the other two most-likely stars — not to compare them to Sengun as players.

    That's fine but you can see how that comes off as an attack on Green right?


    I understand your main goal was to defend Sengun from that maj guy who yes is extremely overly zealous with his Sengun hate.

    don’t! there is no argument on the other side. And I regret it every single time I do it.

    I'm so tired of calling you out for your lies about Sengun, I have a hard time believing the house, gf, baby & job - especially with the need to add "wonderful", "amazing" and "great" to them. (Not that their total means complete success, mind you.)
