You being a 40+ out of shape cac wouldn’t understand what it means to actually be competitive in sports so I don’t blame you.
I'm none of these things, but thanks for telling us who you are.

:lolbron:
But when you grow up going at it when your own twin brother your entire life of course there is going to be competitive energy. I wasn’t saying Ausar is just dry hating on his bro but I would expect him to feel like he should be breaking out the same way which he isn’t….hence why I made that statement.
"Competitive energy" has absolutely nothing to do with what you're insinuating.

I'll bet the lint in your broke ass pockets that both of them would gladly give up their NBA dream if it meant the other succeeded. You're only telling on yourself for being a hating ass clown if you'd feel "bad" in Ausar's position. Amen's success is his success; his success is Amen's success.

You gotta pushing at least 50 breh you been around since the Bush Administration.

And how are you gonna tell me “what I’m insinuating“? I already explained to you the reasoning behind my statement…which is a lot more realistic than that Disney shyt you’re pedaling.

Just because they are twins doesn’t mean that they aren’t individuals with their own individual goals. Ausar has his own personal goals and benchmarks just like Amen does. But you’re acting like they are just one in the same.

It’s not realistic to think that two dudes as competitive as the Thompson Twins would just be happy with the other one shining while the other toils around mediocrity. More likely than not Ausar wants to break through and get to that level as well.

When he tossed Herro up out the club like a bytch :dead:

That Nga is on demon time putting his numbers in prison the entire game :wow:
He almost crashed out in a OTE game. That’s when I was like “yeah he’s got that dawg in him”. Bro will swing on someone one day and get suspended:pachaha:

We need that though. Every team needs a Mad Max type of guy to shoot the fade and get the team rallied. Draymond Green built his whole career off those shenanigans

You saying ausar mediocre when he's actually doing well is weird as hell :dahell:

Just because his brother is doing better doesn't mean he's doing poorly, it's his 2nd year and he's on a completely different team with a VERY different coach at the helm

You must have natural jealousy built into you to continuously project that onto family members


Yea Peyton is better than Eli, but that doesn't mean Eli is genuinely fuming about being in 2nd place to his brother, they crack a few jokes and move on, how is this a hard concept for you to grasp? nikkas can be competitive without actually hating on each other or feeling like they're mediocre

Bro had one touch in the pick and roll where he moved like he was made of lightning. He’s starting to figure out he can get to the rim at will in the half court. He’s way too fast, too long, and too strong. I’m hoping, once he gets that, Jalen will realize it too. That’s when the Rockets will go to another level. The level of rim pressure those two could potentially generate, is staggering.
Man confidence is the theme of these young rockets. When Amen, Sengun, Jalen, and Jabari figure out there strength and advantages over their matchups and just hit it, we’ll be elite. But there self-awareness onthe court is immature from time to time(not so much Amen). Alpi still get the ball
On the high post and waits before he goes to work. He lets the defense recover. One thing we saw against the Celtics inthe 4th quarter is very half Second counts against the reaction of the defense. So when you get entry pass, go to work. Stop holding the ball for 2-3 seconds and waiting to see what the defense do. You’re giving them time to adjust




This video broke down the Celtics endgame perfectly and the common theme. Was half a second too late(Celtics )or quickly recovered(rockets).

What’s weird is you taking my post twisting it then arguing it against me.

Where did I say that “Ausar was jealous?” Or “hating”? Nah you are saying that shyt

I said Ausar most likely wants to level up just like his brother is doing. And the fact that his bro is starting to blow while his game remains stagnant would make you feel some time of way from a competitive standpoint.

Being competitive doesn’t = hating or jealous. You can be happy for someone and still be competitive. You can still root for someone and want to bust their ass.

The fact that you don’t seem to grasp that concept just shows that you’ve never competed on a high level.

Traded all those guys just for a Covid title and a 40 year old to hi jack the franchise LMAO
What have any of those guys won?

:dwillhuh: If Covid didn't give LeBalco and Day to Dayvis a 3 month rest break in the middle of the season what would they have won?

The point is, for the Lakers, mortgaging their future bc Lebron wants to point out to the world how he "doesn't have help"(so he doesn't get blamed) is stupid. They traded the promising youth movement they had and now are being pressured to trade their upcoming picks for what exactly? Theres no player that's making them a championship team and Bron STILL has the worst +/- on the team
:yeshrug:
