    I don't think the age bracket is that big of a deal for roleplayers like Tate and Matthews. Those guys can still be good in their early and even mid 30s. We absolutely should keep them around. As for Wood...jury is still out, and we have a whole thread of people debating that one.

    lol, 2 minutes ago some of you guys dumping all over Green, who had 11pts in 1qtr of playing in space, were saying JC was garbage and should stay in the g-league forever.. Those same guys also thought JC's summer league was nothing special..

    so JC, Sengun, Brooks, and KJ are playing the exact same way they were playing in summer league.. Green is somehow different from all of them?

    man, some of you guys are weird.

    You getting me mixed up with someone else.

    I want JC to get minutes with Rockets as 3-D rotation player.

    But if he is being groomed for PG then he needs to get all those minutes with Vipers.

    So call me out, but at least be accurate.

    I have always LOVED 2 way players.

    I'm not calling you out, I'm just quoting your post. I said "some of you guys". If you're not included ignore the post. But the same people who are hating on Green, hate JC because they thought he was picked to appease Green. I bet those people were rooting for Cam Thomas to outplay JC tonight because he was picked later in the draft because "some of you guys" are weird like that.

    JC is playing better and better. Green will play well too.

    its just so damn weird to root against the rookies.. it's weird.

    Why quote that post then, confused.

    Celebrating Jaygup.

    He was lockdown on defense and PERFECT on offense.

    quoting a post celebrating a JC in a thread full of Jalen Green Hate because I felt the journey is the same for these guys on cf. feels like the same people who dislike Green dislike JC and dont think they are good.

    Everyone likes every Rocket player, no one is ROOTING for or against any of them.

    Some are calling out the way we are developing or things they seem to lack in their game etc....but no one is against any Rocket player succeeding.

    You really shouldn't speak for everyone here. There are definitely posters here putting rookies against each other and wanting some rookies to succeed over others.

    False, hakeem94 literally said they are hoping for Green to fail. It's why they are 1 of 2 active posters I put on ignore.

    Is she/he still running around posting "sieg heil" bullshit and enjoying the Jalen Green injury after praying for it?

    This is not socialism, lol, nobody can like everyone the same way.

    I for one do not have the stamina to actively root against anyone, I just go with their current performance.

    If a certain someone looks like Kirby, he is Kirby. That simple.

    Also as much as I love Mathews, people need to stop saying he is a Green replacement. Mathews is a 3 and D player, a blue collar piece to a winning team. Green will probably never be that. However Matthews will never be the type of player people hope Green turn out to be, a focal point on offense like Lavine, or Beal
