    Honestly, there's not much posting about him so much as his weird little cult. It's EXACTLY like the Lin days, there's less to say about Lin than his godawful fans.....and EXACTLY like with Lin, I don't dislike Green or Lin, I dislike their godawful fans. I don't think Green or Lin are terribly good players, but there's simply no emotional like or dislike when it comes to them.

    There is however, quite a bit of dislike when it comes to their cultish fans.

    That's fine, I get that there's no way to "sway" extremists....but unless there's some miracle in the next 6 months, the problem will take care of itself....and then we can actually have threads about what they are supposed to be about.

    And due to the cancer that is the cult of Jalen, we see what happens if he's ever mentioned...

    Nope, Jalen was brought up before I posted in this thread. Also, someone (YOU) posted about Alperen in a way that was very revealing. Keep the same energy for Jalen Green Esquire.


    Your reaction to this call out tells us all we need to know. A soft spot was hit...

    That's understandable, but it's the offseason, so there's not THAT much going on to talk about that is Rockets related and unfortunately the Jalen conversation comes up a lot more than anything else...in every thread.

    As to what this thread is supposed to be about, I'm not big on going after Markkanen because he can't stay healthy and isn't really a fit defensively.

    However, if he didn't cost too much to trade for him, I could see some REALLY big lineups with Sengun, Smith, and Markkanen that would be intriguing. You'd have a ton of size...despite being super soft size, and you'd have spacing for days.

    I don't think it's going to happen though, so it's probably a pointless conversation.

    And I'm sorry, but someone needed to hockey check this thread in general concerning our boy Jalen.

    "Better than Lauri If he shoots 3 percentage points higher from three..."

    Where was this person in Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb-Apr last year?

    Also, way, WAY, WAYYYYY too much Stephen Silas apologizing in here to push an agenda. It's impossible to read.

    No please don’t assume. Whatever feeling or emotion or urge you had to prove a point about Green or this imagined Green Supporter bias in your head had nothing to do with my discussion with someone else. I am specifically talking about your dumb ass. You brought him up because you were in your feelings which not necessarily reflected the reality of what’s happening. You would be better off not opening your mouth. I get it. You can’t help being an emotional bi+ch

    Classy... :rolleyes:

    Keep the Twitter stuff on Twitter. No need to curse on Clutchfans because you were called out for hypocrisy.

    Tell us about Alperen vs Jalen's three-point percentages again. :D:D:D

    It's amusing for me, because I am probably more pro-Jalen/anti-Mobley than 75% of this forum... I even have Bobby on ignore.

    Really reveals how soft we have gotten in terms of Jalen Green.

    Says the person who interrupted a non Jalen discussion because she was in her feelings and decided to unnecessarily push her anti Jalen agenda into a space where it didn’t belong

    Do you really, or are you a liar like @fchowd0311?

    Don’t you have to patrol and police other non Jalen related posts and threads and interrupt them to show those biased Jalen fans and give them a piece of your mind!! You’re behind schedule dude. Show those terribly biased people! You show them! Lmao

    hypocrisy because I was speaking about Silas and his view on Sengun’s shooting and somehow this goes back to Green? Again whatever you feel or think doesn’t necessarily reflect truth. Telling of how people like you see things that really aren’t there

    Now you tell us again about how you didn’t interject Green into a discussion where it didn’t belong.

    Is she supposed to be an insult? Odd comment.
    I pick apart hypocrisy as a side hustle.
    Please, break down their shooting percentages again so we can all revel...

    It is whatever you take it to be just as you took my discussion as biased against Sengun. Imagined vs what was actually said. Two different things. Your reality. You never explained the hypocrisy part or how you didn’t inappropriately make the conversation about Jalen.
