    Don't disrespect Dollar Dame! His playoff greatness resulted in an entire win in a conference finals series!

    Yeah, if you need that explained to you, then you need to be on a list.

    Almost like nobody has been in a locker room before. Grabassing and horseplay are part of the experience! Weak minded guys who are confused with their own sexuality might see it as some sort of offense though - I guess that could be a thing. "Mocking homosexuals" WHATTTTT LOLOLOL Jalen Green is probably bisexual if you ask me (not that there is anything wrong with either life choice mind you) All these virtue warriors at the front lines ready for combat for KPJ/Jalen but sat on their hands when Udoka took the reigns and when Rodions Kurucs was being seen as a positive impact player! What a time to be on ClutchFans. The Prince Valiant Era.

    You don’t really get to talk, you’re the biggest Fake Outrage Manufacturer on this message board.

    Of course, You’re right about Jalen, nothing homophobic in him, I think posters were just trying to Out Fake Outrage each other. @fchowd0311 started the Fake Outrage Olympics, trying to manufacture something around a flippant comment that ANT has made, and then it went action-reaction from there…

    It’s all mostly BS, of course: Kurucs, ANT, Jalen there is nothing there… But KPJ??? Come on, get real!
    That’s’ the problem with these Fake Outrage Olympics, people can lose all sight of scale and lump actual vile acts and assaults with nothinburgers. That’s a real problem.

    I think its time that the player factions and Ego Boosters bury the hatchet. Supporting a guy before I knew he was a wife beater does not make me a wife beater sympathizer. Reaching a boiling point in racial dialogue and projective behavior from our newfound European fans and returning the blatant and insulting energy does not make me racist against whites. Im not chill with a home wrecking coach because I dont view it as "player" status to level down from what he had and shows signs of an impulsive person, but Im all for 2nd chances and 3rd if necessary. Chemistry is as vital as anything in sports and this team looks like its putting it together.

    Tanking stresses a fanbase out to an extreme. Winning cures all. It is a combination of many different things - coach, vets, young players with positive reinforcement and accountability systems, UPPER MANAGEMENT :D who cares who "called it" ?? Im here for it ... BEEN HERE FOR IT and I'll continue to rock with the squad during good times and bad, but I have to be honest when I say that I never envisioned it bottoming out the way it did and how splintered this place became.

    Lol if you think me advocating against lgbtq hate is fake.

    Also you are the worst judge of human character I've seen in the garm. Very outdated machismo like criteria.

    There was no hate. Turn on the news and see some Palestinians to understand what hate means. The guy was making a flippant remark.

    BTW, I’ve made countless remarks like that when I see PDA between heteros. You have, of course, solid rights to display intimate acts in public, but the public has solid rights to make snide remarks about that. That’s how it works.

    And BTW, there were times, I’d say late 80s probably, the peak Hollywood romcom era, when I would get in trouble for mocking heteros. The fake outrage then was “How dare you make fun of LOVE "… So homosexual or heterosexual, when you display in public there will always be smartassess like me who’ll make a spicy comment. That’s not hate…

    25. Alperen Sengun | C | Houston Rockets
    [​IMG]
    Age: 21 years, 105 days
    2023-24 stats: 18.4 PPG | 8.6 RPG | 6.0 APG

    Sengun is a new-age big man in the mold of Nikola Jokic and Domantas Sabonis, capable of generating a triple-double on a nightly basis. Sengun has struggled from the line this season but shot over 71% in both of his first two seasons, so he has the potential to bounce back. Sengun is not a big defensive presence in the paint, but the Rockets can run their entire offense through him in either the low or high post, which opens things up for their perimeter players to get high-percentage looks. This makes Sengun a potent playmaker in today's NBA, where scoring is king. -- Snellings



    19. Jalen Green | SG | Houston Rockets

    [​IMG]
    Age: 21 years, 271 days
    2023-24 stats: 17.2 PPG | 4.2 RPG | 2.6 APG

    Green averaged a career-high 22.1 points last season and moves up a modest two slots from the previous ranking. Why not a bigger jump? Defense and Green's play last season in clutch-time games. Green shot 3-of-13 on 3-pointers in the clutch (last five minutes, score within five points). In addition, Green had eight assists to 10 turnovers and was a minus-55, tied for sixth worst in the NBA. With new coach Ime Udoka and an improved roster, expect his numbers in close games to improve. -- Marks

    Anybody who thinks Jalen Green is better than Alperen Sengun is a threat to society & should be arrested on sight

    Sengun is better than Jalen among players 6-5 to 6-9.

    A 'sign of growth' -- looking at this picture it's pretty obvious Jalen is at least 6' 8" now and as tall or taller than Sengun.
