    It's more of a general sentiment about how people like Rogan discuss science. Quick Google search, read abstract of a study that fits your narratives and be done.

    jalen green is a fine player and he could develop into something the world didnt even see... however it appears to me you just dont value true basketball games that much
    82 tru bb games is greater than jalen green
    at the end of the day we could of had jalen green even without tanking...we had all the assets to acquire the pick needed to get him

    I think I'm happy with our picks now.

    Hopefully Cade can make a full recovery for the good of the sport.

    what you pehhaps have missed is the buffalo has 4 different stomachs and a digestive system 100% specialized for digesting grass...and extracting vitamins and nutrients from grass...
    youd be probably dead or heavily ill if youd tried that diet buffalo is on...

    Perhaps you missed the part of a so called die - t

    Eating electric foods and getting plenty of iron and essential minerals would prevent me from eating like a said buffalo, vegan doesn't mean you eat grass only

    Fish is the best meat to eat, and silver backs just don't eat grass, they eat a variety of plants which comes from the mother nature earth

    Pretty sure you love pork and other maggot infested meat, that's a good die - t, kudos

    This is off in so many ways...
    • The tradeoff isn't 1 season of bad basketball for 1 player. It is 1 season of bad basketball for 5-10 years of a championship quality core.
    • The Rockets managed to obtain Harden without tanking, but that is the exception. The only reliable way in the NBA to get a franchise quality player is to draft them. That means being in the lottery.
    • Our chances of getting Jalen without tanking would be SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Our chance WITH tanking were 28%. Our chance WITHOUT would probably be <5% and the cost would have been astronomical.
    • You can only enjoy watching championship caliber basketball? If so, you must be miserable. You might try enjoying the building phase of basketball, because it is a significant portion of what teams do. Out of 30 teams, about 10 of them are terrible... that's 1/3 of the teams in the NBA that are hoping to draft their next franchise player. If you're not a bandwagoner, that means the average NBA fan watches teams that are building for the future and have very little chance of winning 33% of the time.
    • If you can't appreciate less-than championship level basketball, then I don't think you value true basketball.

    Less on Cade, more on his teammate: Saddiq Bey.

    Bey not playing great, but apparently Weaver is taking calls.

    As far as SF market, KJ is still more favorable.

    lol pro tank supporter accuses me on being off and not being able to enjoy less than championship level basketball? LOLOLOL
    WHAT AN IRONY
    its only expected from such weirdos to support tanking....

    its you who support tank that cant enjoy basketball...the building phase the scouting, looking for the diamonds at the heapscrap....

    i surely can enjoy less than championship basketball what i cant enjoy is losing games on purpose and denying young player PT and installing bad habits in them ...... this is not even basketball its a 5 vs 5 workout...

    basketball is a beautiful sport and i can arrange for 10 kids at local playground to play more attractive basketball than rockets are playing now...to share the ball and find the open man and not do stupid turnovers, ballhoging and ballchucking and not playing defense....you dont need any talent for that...

    so you tank just 1 year and you get 5-10 years of championship core? ill take that deal...LOL...the fact is tanking teams tank for half a decade( so you actually trade 400 real basketball games for 1 jalen green actually) and they still get nothing and win nothing...

    the championship core you blaberring about is just a media hype and illusion of your mind... they arent even contenders just pretenders...philly had to tank for 5 years and next 5 years they were never really a contender.. just a pretender they never had a real chance at the ring and were 1st or 2nd round fodder most of the time...never came not even close to finals let alone win it all...

    ah you conveniently ignored the part where i stated that rockets already had assets to trade and get into the lottery and get the top pick needed to draft jalen without any need to tank

    so typical of pro tank supporter to ignore the facts, debate in an dishonest way... speak volumes

    you also ignored te fact that we drafted a player better than jalen at 16

    you also ignored your own advice to enjoy the building phase because it is a significant portion of what teams do...

    how about scouting?
    how about fighting the odds?
    how about working hard and putting an effort greater than other teams?

    you also ignore the fact that many teams find their franchise players by not tanking..tanking is not the only reliable way to find the franchise player...top picks also isnt...loterry also isnt

    miami got butler
    bucks got yanis
    denver got jokic
    rockets got harden

    harden is not the exception.... its just not that usual a phenomenon...and its not because not tanking doesn't work, its because great numbers of teams are dumb and lazy and just do the tanking.. still they never win nothing... the real exception is tanking team winning anything...

    you also forget getting the franchise player is not even the goal... winning it all is...

    People has to realize that losing is OK as long as you compete, you give your best. Tanking is a crime, plain game-fixing, tankers shoud be behind the bar.

    The worst thing in NBA is people get accustomed to this sinful act and consider it "normal".Pathetic losers.

    buddy you dont have a digestive system, enzymes and all the stuff silverback has....
    he eats 40lbs of plants daily and has a digestive system specialized for plants only thats why he is still strong eventho 'a vegan'

    not sure of all humans but many lack ability to extract what we need for good health , strenght and endurance eating only vegetables

    "The primary difference of the digestive system between gorillas and humans is found in the gastrointestinal tract. Gorillas are herbivores so they need to be able to break down cellulose. Gorillas are known to be colon fermenters, which is defined as the anaerobic breakdown of organic compounds. Gorillas have large colons and the large intestine is filled with microbes (bacterial) and enzymes indigenous to the colon of the host, which destroy pathogenic microorganisms that are harmful to the host. Within gorillas it is believed that these bacteria serve the purpose of fermenting, detoxifying food, and breaking down cellulose (Stevens and Hume, 1995)."

    It isn’t uncommon for a male to eat about 40 pounds of food daily. They have very large stomachs and a very fast digestive system

    hahahha the best part i loved is he lecturing on the beauty of building basketball and being able to enjoy not championship caliber team...

    and this is what pro tank lovers actually hate the most... they are impatient, they want to skip the 'unnecessary' and 'boring' part, they want to jump the steps, they lack vision and visdom, unable to see the way, to walk the road less traveled, to work a plan and put in the work and effort, and persist despite the odds, they hate 'mediocrity', they want to win it all! and want to show the world their team is the best! (anything less and we refuse to even try....lololol)

    such a splendid combination of perfectionism and sloppiness!

    You seem to be missing the point of who I was replying to

    I was never comparing digestive systems, but what we put in our bodies rather animals or human, because they were saying had Cunningham eaten more meat he wouldn't have gotten injured so easily

    So I posted what I said in what to put into your body to properly and naturally strengthen the bones, which is why I used the example of a powerful animal who eats plants, or even Bears who love fish/berries etc and are very strong boned as well

    You seem to be reaching for straws in most of your posts, but at least you are consistent, kudos, sincerely
