    So many fans? If he did, the names would not be so well known.

    Absolutely the same people for 3 whole years at least on this board.

    Why Do Narcissists Seek Narcissistic Supply?

    Narcissists use narcissistic supply to feel the “affirmation, applause, and adulation of others.”
    They need to feel in control and seek someone who, through their interactions with the narcissist, will help the narcissist feel the power that they crave. Narcissists are fueled by how their supplier responds, whether purposefully or not.

    Experts say narcissists thrive on that predictable response. The reaction creates the drive for the narcissist to continue their behavior. If there is no one to react, then a narcissist has no one to exert control over and no one to help inflate their self-image.

    Narcissists often also have a fear of being unwanted and unloved. Manipulating others to give them the acceptance they crave is a part of the narcissistic supply relationship.

    At this point, there's not that many left... just the really loud extremists.

    Also, I get it, I was a teenage casual fan at one point too...I fully understand why some would look at flashy athleticism and highlight reel dunks and become a fan.

    When you watch basketball solely for the flash and don't understand what winning basketball looks like, it's easy to see the appeal.

    At some point though, the teenage casuals need to grow up and learn to see beyond the flash in order to become a fan of substance.

    It’s so funny to watch you talk all tough like this, but when Green blew up in March, you went silent like a wuss. I expect the same if Green blows up this year.

    I really hope Jalen Green plays like he did in March going forward.

    I enjoyed the fluke 8 game hot streak where a career 33% 3 point shooter shot 47% from 3.... just like I enjoyed the "Gary Bird" times. Neither instance was indicative of future production.... and no sane person thought it would be.

    He averaged 28/6/4 on like 50/40/80 splits in March. But the best stat? Your posting decreased by like half. Because like so many on this board, you love to dish it but can’t take it.

    My post count often goes down when I'm not arguing with simpletons who are desperately attempting to defend poor performances by awful players....

    So, essentially you're saying that I didn't complain about poor performance when the performance was good? Shocking.

    I really hope a miracle happens and your guy learns how to play basketball, it would make the Rockets A LOT better and I wouldn't have to argue with dumb people quite as much.

    It would be win/win.

    Okay.... It's confirmed. This Bobby guy is some secret Jalen Green fanatic trying to make his detractors look unhinged by being obsessive.

    Garrison Matthews career:

    6.3pts - 0.6 ast - 1.4 reb but he has shot 38% on 3's!!!

    This concludes the "Jaters are batsht crazy" service announcement. Now back to your regularly scheduled hating.

    Wait, you mean his 7 game stretch where he put up 18 points per game hitting 46% from 3 with a 73% TS% wasn't indicative of future success?

    Don't tell Jalen Green fans that!

    Post All Star break, Green averaged 23 points while shooting .37 from 3 on .57 TS%. Basically Desmond Bane-esque numbers. But sure, continue to say it was an 8 game streak comparable to Matthews. You don’t sound like a moron at all.

    I know you aren't the best or brightest, but you have to know that this is dishonest.

    From the all star game to the game before the 8 game hot streak Jalen averaged 20 points on 34% from 3 and 52% TS%

    From the game after the 8 game hot streak ended to the end of the season Jalen averaged 17 points per game on 27% 3 point shooting with a 49% TS%


    You are clearly just using the 8 hot games to mask the poor performance both before and after the streak. It's either dishonest or stupid.

    You pick.

    Do you ever randomly have bouts of self awareness and realize how unhinged your obsession with Green is sometimes?

    Like you are randomly on your shitter and you just have an epihoony how unhinged you might be?

    I see you couldn't argue against what I said so you opted to just throw a tantrum.

    It was better when you just pretended to ignore me.

    I am perplexed over your existence daily. It confuses my mind how a human can be obsessive over a random basketball player as much as you.


    There is only so much one can say about Jalen Green before all the talking points get repeated for the 50th time.

    So until the season starts I'm going to psychoanalyze you to understand what obsessive behavior looks like because until the season starts there's no new data and information to debate over in regards to the basketball player that is Jalen Green. So psychoanalyzing you seems like the only fun thing left.

    Don't make this weird. We can have fun trying to understand how you became the human you are today.

    Because 3pt shooting alone should be the sole measure for player performance.

    Don't use such big words, you have to dumb it down for people like that. Otherwise they just get more argumentative to cover for their lack of comprehension.
