    I could see invocuck being another hakeem94 alt too in all honesty. Same weird ****, over the top obsessiveness, they all haven't capitalised their screen name either. The "i would have made him a cam femboy in grade school" **** is SUPER disturbing though. That's beyond red flags. Somebody should take a look at their hard drive and put them on a register somewhere.

    could be, I wouldn’t be surprised

    majority of them are anti-black and post stuff like this on here

    Minorities are always looking for "positive discrimination". It kills the world. Hollywood,NBA,Politics,Violin players,..are just some example how spoilt minorities are destroying something should be more beautiful, more decent.

    or try to be slick by doing things like calling Silas a monkey, but posting it in Turkish

    when Clutch finally cleared out a lot of those roaches, it was a great day

    My first thought was "I hope this isn't a jinx thread"...and then I realized how stupid these sports superstitions are and that there is nothing that we as fans actually do that impact players, short of finding where they are and physically assaulting them or something.

    And plus, if Jalen really has made the leap--like I believe he has--no amount of jinxing will be able to take away the improvements in effort, IQ, and his improved shooting stroke.

    Wait what? I didn't realise they were straight up using Turkish to be openly racist? That's some ****ed up **** for real, I mostly only saw the earlier "you're a big poopy head stoopid face" type stuff before I had most of them on ignore. I'm going to continue to pull the receipts tbh, I went down a rabbit hole just looking for the bullshit hate that got thrown Green's way and found a lot of super suspect **** between the racism, odd pedo **** and also flat out defending pedo **** from the same guy. People need to realise it's NOT all "valid criticism" and there's a lot of both low-key and high-key bigotry being thrown around. I'm just gonna keep shining a light on it to show everybody who these ****s are tbh.

    Really need a roll call of the DMFers that want to label players busts when they're still basically kids.

    They know who they are.

    We all do.

    They're often the same ones promoting sexual violence towards children, racism, homophobia and targeting people's dead relatives, children, partners etc with reckless abandon. Frankly, they're scumbags.

    The whole issue with "he paints his nails" is fkg hilarious. Westbrook wears dresses to games and that dude was an MVP.

    It's usually the dudes who definitely get no p***y who are out here claiming it makes him a female. You can tell them a mile off. You know who paints their nails? Rockstars, who get loads of p***y. Modern rappers, who get loads of p***y. Other young athletes, who get loads of p***y. ****, Dwade paints his nails and this is his girl... [​IMG]

    Those apologies are long overdue though, not now that he plays well. I know what you are getting at but at the risk of sounding way too didactic let’s not normalize trashy behavior and ad hominem attacks when a player is not performing well, even the worst player in the world doesn’t deserve that. Trash will be trash not much we can do.

    I have been fairly critical of Jalen before, and Im willing and looking forward to apologize. I just want to wait a couple more games and to have a positive record to do so.

    Yeah the difference is that it wasn't us fans normalising it, it was his critics. You can see it over and over in this very thread "nobody owes him any kind of apology, it's all just fair criticism" when in fact if you go back and look there are literally thousands of personal attacks that have nothing to do with basketball other than he might've had a bad game and people used it as an excuse to attack any number of non-basketball related things. Until the forum started to turn the corner, none of y'all were ready to have that discussion because it was cooler to **** on him. That's a fact I'm afraid.

    I don't expect him or any player to be amazing every single game. But if he's to be our number one option, he's going to have to be good for the majority of games and he's definitely going to have to keep his shooting and true shooting percentages up.

    No not blind faith, common sense. He's 22 & was having his first child while playing for a new coach in a new system. Ppl need to learn how to read talent & not project on a guy because they don't like him. I always knew his struggles were mental & when he finally settled down he'd be a superstar. At no point was Jalen NOT the best player on this team
