    Dude if you were my friend and I was with you I'd smack you in the head right now. If that's not hating to you, then you assessment that there are no Jaters is absolutely meaningless because you're defining it WAY out of bounds of how 99% of people define it.

    Yes it is untrue because he doesn't know anything about the actual trade value. See I can play the technicalities game too. It's just a bitterly negative assumption that he had to make after a Rockets win and Jalen Green being the best player on the court.

    I also just don’t care about it. Every player in every sport ever has had “haters”. Who gives a crap. If you wanna use the technicality that this game lowered his value, that’s fine by me!

    Dude, if everyone has haters, then why did you claim there are no Jalen Green haters? Also I specifically posted after that post of yours that every single popular person has haters, so it's not even logically possible that Jalen Green has no haters.

    I was honestly expecting a "haha ok I never noticed but that dude is definitely bitter despite an unquestionably praise-worthy performance" and we high five on it but if you insist on dragging it out by hiding behind a technicality ("well it's technically not untrue") then I have to reply with the receipts. I can't believe you dug your heels in on that, it's obviously an insanely bitter and negative post after a positive performance.

    Honestly just thought we were going to laugh about it.

    Sorry man, it’s just not that deep for me. At some point, maybe, i will care like i did before the foster game but we are not there, or even close to it. This is about as relevant ro me as arguing whether the sidewalk is grey or slightly darker grey. Utterly meaningless.

    That's cool, I'm just pointing out you're contradicting yourself: If everyone has haters, why claim Jalen has none?

    When you're making that statement, you're questioning something we're saying so yes on a basketball message board where nothing is that deep, I will correct the record on the non-deep thing.

    I guess when i think of a hater it’s beyond just the typical crap fans say about players, like the way ros despises Reed. I also said it’s possible i just have those people on ignore, or didn’t read the posts, or whatever.

    I pointed to the 19 attempts late in the season, it was a personal record and might be NBA season record ....

    I do not think anyone else is attempting that very often.

    I have him at 34-35%.

    23 year old in his first play off series, you Americans are the most impatient sports fans on the planet.

    I was turned off from Jalen scoring 7 first game. I said if he doesn't come out swinging I have no issue trading. Was at the game and was so happy that I was able to eat my words. He played what he was capable of and was what we believed he could do. He plays this way the rest of the series, they win in 5. And I have tickets for game 5 so I belive in Jalen.

    I am glad I didn't dunk on him after game one. Jalen played an amazing game. If he can keep it up for the rest of the playoffs we will challenge OKC.

    Nice stats and all, but missing the best accomplishment of the night: elbow in Draymond face! Can’t believe our Green was more badazz than their Green…
