    Kind of weird how a supposedly no talent, all time worst ex Rocket of all time gets a hate thread... It's almost like if he was that bad people would be eager to forget him and not cope ...

    Considering he's been out the majority of the year and just got back 2 weeks ago, like DFS, I'd take those numbers!

    If that were DFS, we'd be pumping our chest

    Well, he is officially the first guy they began the rebuild with...that is not going to change for better or worse.

    True but the worst thing about him was his fanbois, not just that he was a draft bust.... so it's fun to continue laughing about how ridiculous they were or are if they are still clinging to his nuts.

    I would take low volume low efficiency over very large volume low efficiency all day long and twice on Sunday.

    lmao, he's back from a severe hamstring injury and needs some time to catch up with his teammates, that's all. I remembered hearing you guys making all the excuses for Sengun (unfortunately he still sucks) when he was back from injury.

    Haters quiet again tonight - was barking loud when Booker and Brooks were both out, now Booker back and crickets

    Jalen green shot 50% tonight. May I pass along my congratulations for his great interdimensional breakthrough. I am sure, in the miserable annals of the Earth, he will be duly enshrined.

    Green seems like he does much better when Booker plays. That aligns with my thoughts about him - he could blossom as a #2 guard, but has too many shortcomings to be a #1.

    20 shots tonight and 3/10 from 3. I will say he did have a cool ankle breaker though

    It can be true that Jalen Green is not as good as we'd hoped but also not a horrible NBA player

    It's not like we haven't seen it before - when his jumper is falling he can go on a heater and he is hard to stop due to his first step - it just doesn't fall often enough to be a high usage lead guard on a contending team

    It's not like he was a total douche like KPJ - too bad it didn't work out for him here but whatever

    Yes, this horrible player together with Dillon Brooks whom you guys think is not as good as DFS before this season get you Kevin Durant. I really look forward to seeing what the current franchise players can get for return

    Imagine this stats from Reed and Amen, and the sub will be filled with "franchise player" discussions.
