    Have you considered that maybe you need to self reflect on whether you are merely trying to seek attention when you use over the top wording to describe Green like "bust"?

    Ya you have spewed this same garbage before. I just don’t care if I’m wrong. Maybe that’s important to some people? Idk, this isn’t my job so i just don’t care

    You care by how much time you spend on saying he's a bust and then defending the premise for lengthy amount of times.


    You care about the attention. You'd use more grounded wording to describe Green like "disappointing" if you weren't trying to seek attention.

    Ya idk what to tell you, you can think whatever you want regardless of how ludicrous and illogical it is. I’ve been wrong plenty of times before, i’ll be wrong plenty in the future. Not concerned about it at all

    Yeah imagine actually thinking bust is a fluid term, like one minute you're a bust, one minute you're not? I suppose it's a nice way of trying to save face if the "he's a bust" turns into an all-star o_O:D

    Go to the game thread and read the underhanded "compliments" -- what is crazy is that you are trying to gaslight people who can go pull receipts if needed. YOU may not represent the whole in your fandom, but to speak for the collective as if its not a real thing is also pretty wild.

    Idk, i just can’t imagine being a fan of a team and being upset a player was good, it’s mind boggling. You’re a fan of all the Houston teams right? Let me give you 2 examples

    1. i was vehemently against the astros drafting mark appel, i thought he was crap and i was right

    2. i was against the texans drafting stroud, i could not have been more wrong

    Which do you think makes me happier?

    It's very obvious you have attached part of your identity to the opinion that Green is a bust.

    I wonder how many more of the adamant "he's a bust" types will all of a sudden try and root for him and pretend they never wrote off his entire career because of their obsession with TS%?

    Lol ya

    Calling him a bust is obviously a claim only someone who's rooting against him would make.

    Your posting history speaks for itself. Are you that deluded to think several people are saying this to you for no reason?

    You think i joined clutchcity.net before jalen was even born just to fake it for all these years? For what purpose?

    Straw man argument, we're talking about you now trying to act like you haven't been ******** on Jalen at every turn and calling him a bust in a very "not my 2 guard" way. Nobody's talking about your Rockets fandom, we're talking about you trying to flip flop about the Numero Uno. Intellectual dishonesty isn't helping your case.

    You are a real fan dude. You joined here near the beginning of the site's creation

    I'm just saying you have attached some of your ego to the claim of Jalen being a bust. Just because you've been a. Fan for a long time doesn't mean you can't root against a specific player on the team.

    You continue to use yourself as an example for a larger group where most dont share you're objective super fan example of HOW to rock with your players. Remaining moderate is stoic, but you have not really remained moderate yourself right?

    I dont blame guys for busting your chops. You've just rode whatever wave was higher and enjoyed both dumping on Jalen and now propping him up. Its easy to be a fan of a superstar. Its easy to root for winners.
