    Why are y’all even bothering to talk with BTG. In addition to always having terrible takes, he’s the type of scumbag person to bring in someone’s challenged kid to try and win internet fights.

    Miami beat teams in Bucks and Celtics that they had no business beating, both much better teams than them. And if you swapped coaches (bucks and heat coaches, and celtics and heat coaches) they would lose both. Your argument that coaching doesn’t matter at all is idiotic

    Being 19 isn't a excuse, it's a reality. Sengun is around the same age but gets the "he's just a kid" excuse. Green is no different. Kobe started off the same way but ended up a 5 time champion. Green is our best player

    just normal online behavior of a troll that insults people constantly hiding behind the screen/keyboard. that's what the internet enabled some people so inclined to do.

    you cant go around in public saying things and acting like that. so individuals that want and need to act like that have an avenue to insult and belittle on the daily without any physical consequences in return for their anti-social behavior.

    What player was 19 that you are talking about? Are you doing the Jalen Green fan BS where you round 21 down to 19 in order to excuse poor performance?

    The Kobe BS is just absurd, Jalen is nowhere near that talented AND there isn't a Shaq on the team for him to ride the coattails of.

    Going off of performance, Jalen Green is one of the worst players on the team....it's why these conversations get so absurd, your take is simply divorced from reality.

    I am not asking why BTG is like that. I am asking why people continue to engage with him.

    Why do y’all feed the troll? Having a weird obsession is strange but OK. The fact that he posts no quality or thoughts outside of this is not good. He is what we call a net negative poster.

    LOL, are you really going the "internet tough guy" route? Adorable.

    I call out stupid people for being stupid in person as well....and there really aren't any consequences. Turns out despite the fact that randoms such as yourself talk tough on the internet, most people avoid conflict.

    That said, I don't really have to do that very often, because I don't often associate with outright stupid people.

    Oh

    Because they enjoy repeatedly being called dumb and stupid by someone that’s supposed to be a fan of the same team as you are.

    Seriously though I have no idea he is the only person I have ever had blocked on here until Tinman temporarily a while back. I presume he is by far the most blocked poster on the board though.

    Green must take a stride this year to 24/4/4 with better defense and 35-36 on the three ball. Then year 4 and 5 he can really ascend. I’d bet on him BUT mostly Im very comfortable because between Green/KPJ/Whitmore we should end up with a quality starting and backup scoring guard at the very least.

    I don't care about his PPG, I just want him to be somewhere around at least 57=58% TS% and I want his defense to no longer be a complete embarrassment. If he does that, he might have a future with the team.

    Which makes your position even stupider. Jalen hasn't even had a true pg or a system that caters to his skillset. Give him that & another star then tell me your dumb azz opinion again


    Also, ride Shaqs coattails? Shaq said out his own mouth it was Kobes team after the 1st championship. Know your history idiot

    @Bobbythegreat I'm curious if there is any player you disliked that you've come around on in your lifetime?

    Probably, but typically if I don't like a player, there's a reason for it and it's not personal. Usually it's because I don't like their game and it's a fairly thought out thing.

    I've had players that I didn't like that I ended up enjoying some of their games, but usually they still were the players that I thought they were in the end.

    Josh Smith comes to mind. I certainly appreciated him helping the Rockets come back against the Clippers....but he was still a godawful chucker who got by on raw athleticism for a little while then fell off.

    I'm not sure there's ever been a player that I thought was terrible who ended up actually being good, could have happened, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

    If Jalen Green eventually becomes a good player, perhaps he'll be the first.
