    I never said that I disliked him personally, I said I was not okay drafting a raw player who has a slim build.


    Over the years, did I make jokes about him, his speech, his female looks? Of course, I also made jokes about Harden and he was definitely Top 3 player on the Rockets.

    I made jokes about Steve Francis, sometimes Yao Ming, even my favorite players.

    Gripe is that Green like other players has fans that are dead serious and dead vulgar to other posters.

    Guess it is very common for y'all to mistook me for another poster.....but I guess I am not a guy who holds resentments.

    He is mixed so he has Asian in him and that makes the hair less thick and more curly.

    I have people in my family that have curly hairs, so I guess that makes me a racist against my kind.

    Why is this chapter named after a very popular female-focused podcast

    What are you saying about his defense now?

    I told you I wasn't worried about it. That will get better with experience, that he has all the tools
    to play good defense.

    Historically, Green's performances at home have always been better than on the road.

    It's good to see that he is putting up his strongest performances so far all on the road.

    I really hope he can continue to shoot like this from 3 because this team desperately needs a sharpshooter

    For sure or tried to shoot over the double.

    When I watched it again can anyone else hear "do something" ?? Is that Udoka yelling to Jalen?

    I keep hope the ret of the team can get there 3poont percentages up. It can’t just be Jalen alone. Everybody should be shooting at least 35%% based off the open looks generated to start the season. That’s not even great. Jsut above average

    He might have had 4 game stretches with better/similar stats but he didn't have better/similar 4-game stretches. He has more control of his game, much better on defense, better shot mechanics, plays more in flow of the game. He has more consistency overall. He couldn't even sustain his consistency from quarter to quarter.

    And that was the whole reason people wanted to see more from Green. They didn't want just stats but good/consistent play to produce the stats. And now that it is here, why would anyone keep the same concerns as before? There was a reason to be suspicious about his future, and so far, he has cleared those for sure.

    I told you I didn't think he tried much on that end. And he is, so I'm pleasantly surprised. Also really impressed with his finishing at the rim. Drasticslly improved. Don't think the 40% from three is sustainable if he keeps that up then yes he is a star.

    They must be counting the DHO handoff with Sengun as catch and shoot threes. And yes he's hitting those but that's not what I'm talking about. Literally feels like every time we run a play and swing it to him when he's wide open he misses. But I also feel this way about every single player on this team.

    Ohh, that's why I didn't reply then. I get around 200 notifications a day, I mostly reply to the people with something interesting to say rather than "he's zesty." You're just not that important I'm afraid.

    These last 3 games have been really impressive. Didn't shoot well from the field but contributed heavily to wins.

    He doesn't give you a second to rest on any side of the court. Using his athleticism and fitness to force you to keep up with him. Really solid model to keep his impact high while he sharpens his skills.

    The only thing in serious question anymore is whether his jumper is ready right now or does it still need 6-12 months of work. If the jumper is legit, we're in business right?

    I always said his biggest issue was kinda being a p*ssy

    He is finally playing with aggression, confidence, swag and like he's the best player on the court

    Proud of him

    Nobody mistook you for any other poster at all, this is your ACTUAL quote. Nobody else's, and these weak sauce deflections do not explain it at all. But nice try. You weren't criticising him for having curly hair, you criticised him for having Afro hair.

    "I think it is the total package though of slim figure, Afro hair, momma's boy, dry humping Jaygup, spending too much time at the Fashion Weeks"

    Again, why is Afro hair something to be criticised?
