    This is just silly. You obviously have never watch Dream play if you believe this. The guy literally Never struggled offensively. Dream could have been better? Man stop

    He was still above league average TS by about 2%-5% for most of his career, depending on which year you look at. That's pretty solid scoring efficiency. He was +2.9% and +3.5% in the championship years, which by todays standards would be ~60% TS. That's not Steph/KD territory, but that's still an efficient scorer especially on high volume. You'd never say a 28 ppg scorer today on 60% TS isn't efficient. He was also never below league average TS until his 14th year, so he didn't struggle offensively early on.

    Akeem played 3 years in college for one of the best teachers of basketball for college. He played against some of the greatest players of all-time before he came into the league. You can’t compare Green’s path to Akeem. Not far to Green.

    This actually doesn't bother me. He might as well tweet support, it won't actually change anything. This way he can claim to support a vet.

    Gordon plays moreyball as he is stuck in that ways, but we don't play it anymore, we look for more variety. We don't take as many threes as we use to do in More Ball

    Rockets just took 40 treys last game.

    And last season Rockets broke franchise record for most 3's made.

    Just saying.

    in one game

    We average 37.5 three point attempts a game, this is 9th in the league. Last season we averaged 40.6 a game for third....the season before we averaged 45 attempts a game.

    So it is starting to decline each season

    LOL

    Silas still places a premium on the 3, perhaps does not emphasize it as much like Morey/MDA did but the attempts are still signifcant.

    Top 10 tells you otherwise?

    And Rockets recent success with 2 starters shooting over 40% and another at 37% dictates more 3's not less.

    And 3 key rotation players shooting over 40% as well.

    This 6 game win streak may be small sample size but it's more representative than the abominable 15 game losing streak.

    I guarantee that the attempts will be more than 37 per game by season's end.

    Judging from his grammar, seems he's already hung with the wrong people.

    Nothing is fair to Mr. Green, we cannot do that to him but he can compare himself to KB8.

    yeah, so it’s AAVE, and that;s,not really the problem.
    You translate it into White English, and it sounds exactly like … White Woman Instagram…
    sorry, but that’s what it reminds me of.

    That level of inspired writing will sit really well next to other great black thinkers and leaders.
