    I know 95% of his posts have nothing to do with what is being discussed and he basically has online Tourettes, but those posts are strange even for him

    The first three games were against Hornets, Grizzlies, and Spurs twice.. Rockets fan base seems really toxic.. Probably many of you will turn against J. Green right away too if he performs below his average stats so far (this season) against Dallas, G. State, and the Knicks.. Just like how you have been barking against Alperen due to his struggles in the last two games mainly as a result of trying to do something in a non-existing offensive system..

    Perhaps you can ignore casual racism, homophobia, megalomania, etc. I cannot.

    "I feel sick being reminded every day that this bum is still on our roster"
    "Sengun a white kid mogged him, ruined his reputation. That's why his nut huggers hate Sengun. Now there is another white individual in the town who is coming to get his job. Listen Green might be able to withstand the force, finesse, aura of a 1 white person but 2? Not going to happen. " Looks like invocuck's a racist as well as a pedo. Imagine trying to talk sass to people when you've got public posts like this around? CRAZY
    "Lol at people who are complaining him not posting clips of him working out. You guys are insane and frankly miserable. This dude works 24/7. Draya is making him do the groceries, cook, clean the mansion, wipe the baby's ass, breastfeed her. He doesn't have time to post clips on ig just for you to be happy. He's a busy man."

    People still running with the "it's all just valid criticism" narrative for these scumbags, yeah?

    Generally speaking, this team wins when Jalen plays well. We ended up with a 41-win year because he had some help, but most of the time he did not play well. This team is built on the idea that he will be a star player. I was impressed with two of his games this year. Not coincidentally, they were our two wins.

    Unfortunately, the rest of the team seems to be off to a slow start. If Jalen can put together a good game two out of every three nights, I think this team will be ok. But it’s a little early to start pulling receipts. I think around the end of the year would be a better time to visit this topic.

    Jalen had ONE bad preseason game you guys were saying trade him he's showing no growth. 4 games is enough

    Sorry but I’m just a new member, it’s not a Kevin Durant tweeter accounts scenario:)I’m new in this website. I’ve been a Rockets fan for a while now, though been “lazy” and did not create an account in this website (though I did read the threads here for a whike). Considering that this season looks promising, I thought it’s a good timing to join and write my thoughts, that’s all =]

    Do you think that was based on the one bad preseason game or the 3 bad seasons before that?

    Sorry kid, he's playing well this season so far, but you don't get to rewrite the past. I hope he keeps it up and wins the MVP.... but if he does, it won't change the fact that he was dogshit for 3 years and it won't make criticism during the 3 years of dogshit performances invalid retroactively.

    In his last 25 games, Jalen Green has averaged 24.4/5.6/3.9 with a .58 TS% while shooting .38 from 3. Not to mention his defense has dramatically improved.

    In other words, it’s not just 4 games. If Green came back to Earth a bit but still averaged 25 ppg with those splits, I’d be thrilled.

    Yes, but it would make your constant bust predictions look quite stupid.

    Ya it doesn't even make sense play style wise. Like you want to express the lowest end version of Green's archetype say someone like Clarkson.

    they are just completely sudden archetypes of player. Nothing about Brewer's game is similar to Green's game.

    Tari Eason quite frankly is the closest player to the Brewer archetype. I think his ceiling is higher than Brewer but it's the similar archetype.

    A statement that a player has been a bust is not retroactively incorrect either.

    So even when you're demonstrably, unquestionably, flat-out wrong, you're not really wrong. Got it.

    Must be weird going through life having to constantly prop yourself up like that.

    I get that you are a dishonest person, but I'm not going to let you get away with that.

    Saying that a pick is risky because if they don't learn to shoot..... something he couldn't do at the time, and didn't learn to do consistently for at least the first 3 years of his career..... that we'd be looking at Corey Brewer 2.0 as a worst case is not a "prediction" it's a criticism of a prospect.


    You constantly lying doesn't change that.

    When I'm actually wrong, I'm wrong.

    Point out instances of that if you want to have that conversation.... but pointing out i instances where I wasn't wrong isn't a way to have that conversation
