    Became a fan by watching Harden
    Got Jalen as my pfp (he sucks right now though)

    I watched 3 years of 20 wins, my fandom isn't in question i think lol

    I'll grant you that last point, especially as that tactic is so often used in politics.

    However, there was a definite tendency on the part of some posters to label any criticism of Sengun as hating. And any 18- or 19-year-old player has flaws and is therefore deserving of well-considered critiques.

    I don't have a problem with fans who like Sengun a lot, because I'm one of them. What I don't care for is the mob mentality of labeling people as haters just because they don't agree with your take to the same extent that you do.

    I bet in th
    This right here. HOF (Hakeem only fans) would be hated today even though cheering for your best players to succeed is being a fan of the team. Oh well, it must hurt dep inside being so wrong about a player like Sengun.

    Juwan Howard killed this man's spirit.

    82 games of that "Juwan Howard as the best player" season I watched with you Bro. Pain...

    Any of you who lived through that, I salute you.

    Being a fan of the team doesn't mean tossing around your rookies in all the trade machines, or writing up hit pieces and clamboring for Bruno Fernando, Myles Turner, and Mo Bamba.

    That sounds like some GM quarterbacking and a lot of mentions of the word "archetype."

    To be fair to Juwan, that midrange was nice and maybe we beat the Mavs if he played.

    Nah, I think Keith Bogans was the best player for at least one game that year. Or maybe I’m just a BOF, Bogans only fan.
