    Oh, the irony.

    Look in the mirror, my guy.

    Nobody has made a thread saying Jabari can't shoot or that he is a bust.

    There is literally a thread about his jumper though already?

    My main point has nothing to do with you though, I actually appreciate people that can have a point and expand it on it like our interaction before. Whether we agree on it or not is not the point.

    I’m just saying there is alot of kneejerk threads or straight out landish comparison threads. I didn’t expand on my OP because I knew there would how the reactions would be. I just thought a forum would be moderated a little more and multiple threads being made the same point with the words being put in different orders. Like other people mentioned I must be new here etc but I just wanted to get a clear consensus of what the quality of posts etc are on here and I guess I’ve found my answer.

    Like I said non of this is directed at you I just felt with a short interaction before you can take a point and you can also explain a point a lot better than the majority of what I’ve seen.

    you're good, folks are just having a bit of fun at your expense.

    Now if you had posted a "DMo is the X-Factor" thread, you'd have lots of support :D

    It's allowed to stir debate....and get die-hard Rockets fans like me, madder than
    a hornet that had it's hive knocked down in the middle of July, or something
    something. Either I turn the other check or get banned for life, I pick my battles
    wisely.

    Also the national media and basketball world in general hates us.....send
    their minions here to troll us. They suck!! They would love nothing
    better than to have the Rockets as perpetual losers....like Sacramento.
    So they gin up backwards @** ideas.

    Just wait until the Philippines National Team demands that Jalen play every summer. All hell will break loose.

    I’d rather him play for Team USA. Also that’s another reason (besides skill, of course) that I want us to stay faaaaar away from Kai Sotto

    Oh wow, you've only been here 6 months! Lol

    Well, I think you're gonna have to decide if you can handle what you are seeing or not cause it's ALWAYS been this way. And I mean ALWAYS.

    You may want to find another forum because ain't nothing gonna change on this one. What you see is what you get here.

    Gonna have to toughen up cause there are sharks in these waters and they don't care about what you think or how or why you think it.

    It's a sports forum. The nature of the beast is Fanaticism or were you not aware. Lol
