    YES. Also I dont give a damn what Mobley is doing, He isnt a Rocket and we wouldnt have Sengun if we drafted him we would have picked another guard at that spot or no one at all.

    Yet more chest pounding and need for vindication. Didn't see that one coming.

    /s (for those of you unable to discern)

    His G league team went 8-7 but had a net rating of -4.0, and expected win loss of 6-9.

    Out of the 7 losses were :

    87-127
    97-109
    87-107
    92-120
    107-130

    And their lone playoff game

    102-127

    Ok if you want to take me literally, then no they didn't get blown out every night. But they were not good. Got blown out on 5 of their 7 losses, and lone playoff game. And Green did not even dominate on this sorry team, playing against sorry competition/defense that are all out there just looking to put up numbers to get called up.

    My point was not that he's a bust based on this. But that he was drafted on potential, not production.

    I mean when you have the sports version of the red hat scourge is it really surprising? Needing to emasculate another male in some strange need to justify their own macho man personality is contrived and stinks of a bully who needs acceptance.

    Man, some of you just can’t help with identity politics. Your lives must really suck. Every opinion has to have some kind of political meaning behind it.
    Sad

    Yeah he's the only one references Green's gender and femininity for whatever reason. And let's be real his sexuality by proxy. Like bro just say you think Green is gay and that you think it's icky. No need to beat around the bush

    Nuanced? Your takes are about as nuanced as a Clyde's game commentary. Get a grip.

    How am I supposed to take "His G league team was awful and got blown out on a nightly basis," when the truth is different? You do understand how your descriptions matter? The G League Ignite, in the first year as a team, was mediocre to average no doubt. However, the competition is objectively better than college. How many college players end up making any professional league (G League or Chinese League) ? A fraction. I wouldn't be as dismissive of the G League as you are.

    He was drafted due to both potential and production.

    Im pretty sure Jalens Pinoy ethnicity had already been mocked here -- just curious how long before they go full QAnon.

    Lol look at these snowflakes trip over each other. I'm not even white. Go protest Dave Chappelle with your idiot woke friends. You are barking up the wrong tree here.

    Who's woke? I just think it's dumb af that ol dude keeps alluding to Green being gay because let's be real thats what he's doing. Its such a dumb critique with no basis in fact. He looks and dresses differently so he's not going to be good? It's a dumb old man mentality. I don't think it has to do with race but I do think it's antiquated thinking for sure and he is wrong for even insinuating it

    And then to act like it's a nuanced take is even more laughable.

    You've hated Green long before he ever arrived and you're not always right even though you like to pretend to be.

    Please remind us of just how awesome Suggs has been during the preseason? Don't worry, I got you. Suggs is currently shooting 27% from the field and 20% from three.

    It may have been. To be fair I don't think it's a racial thing I do think these mfs need to be sent to the nursing home for these boomer ass takes tho

    It's okay. Those are just a few preseason games. Not enough to see from Suggs.
