    Did I say I was better than you? Did I say you’re less than? Did I resort to name calling and insults? No I did not. I counter every argument or discuss with logic, facts, and information from what’s reported. I also challenge people on misinformation, disinformation, and bias, which there’s a lot on this site.

    Disingenuous would mean to intentionally mislead or deceive. What I stated is my opinion on that term. Again if you don’t agree state why in a civil manner instead of being a piece of trash.

    You act like everyone I have communicated on this site including you are civil, kind, understanding, respectful which is bullshi+. You have not been. You are a hypocrite quick to point the finger.

    If you feel or think I am arrogant then that’s on you and in your mind. I have nothing to do with your feelings.

    The conversation wasn’t about those players. It was about Sheppard.

    You’re winning, because you’ve managed to fool people into engaging with you

    you can’t make a point and then arbitrarily define goal posts and shift them when you desire.

    "there are no standards on this team, its plagued by favoritism"

    Given x, y, and z examples*

    It's crazy. I've literally heard some of the greatest players and coaches of all time discussing how rhythm shooters work, but my guy thinks "I don't agree with that theory" somehow makes him more valid because he delivers everything in pompous paragraphs? Nah, **** don't fly.

    Who? And in what context?

    Also some people believe in “positionless basketball” which was coined by spoelstra. The term is often misunderstood and is a misnomer in itself.

    Every player can tell you that basketball is about rhythm. This is for all players. The patterns when you dribble or step. The motion you go through to shoot. There’s s rhythm anc cadence with all players and the better ones hone that rhythm and can get into that rhythm quickly. Durant is a great example. So again the term is another misnomer.

    what’s fraudulent is you continuing to say that Reed is a solid NBA starter that should never be replaced in a lineup when his performance shows otherwise

    you’re also a liar and said it’s about the message not the messenger. So a liar and a fraud

    Where did I mention positionless anything? I don't give a **** about your straw men or nonsense narratives, you're wrong.

    See, he hates Reed, and lies about him.

    Reed has proven to be a solid starter - and should be playing 36mpg - he is better than anyone else on the team at the PG position and is still getting better.

    This fraud is only here to b**** about Reed.....and has an agenda.

    Probably never played or coached ball in his life......

    let me refresh your memory since you have trouble recalling.

    The fan responded to my post which was a response to a Twitter post about Sheppard being a “rhythm scorer”.

    The fan then inserted Tari and Okogie into the conversation which I explained that they weren’t the topic of the conversation. I also said nontheless he still had 12 shots compared to Eason’s 3. And the point was which i maintain from my original post that he had opportunities and didn’t seize them.

    The fan then went on to compare Okogie and Eason’s poor play which I said wasn’t part of the conversation. I am refocusing the conversation to my original focus which was about Reed Sheppard independent of anyone else.

    If I tell you that you had opportunities at x company and you didn’t capitalize then you turn around and say hey what about those guys over there? I’m talking about you not those guys. It’s inferior to bring other people in the conversation when the topic us about you

    Criticism is hate? Do you work for the Chinese Communist Party? I apologize for my free thought and speech. And you’re still a liar

    You probably need to re read what I wrote.

    I don’t care about your thoughts yet you get riled up respond to me and then judge me.

    “you’re wrong i’m right!” Lmao are you in 3rd grade?

    Still waiting for those quotes and context

    I bolded the above for you.

    You can't arbitrarily decide that the examples proving the other poster's point aren't relevant to the conversation simply because you don't think so, and because it destroys your point. When discussing a team's dynamics and how you believe there is a hoax going on when people say there is "favoritism"--- you can't set imaginary boundaries of discussing sheppard in a vacuum.

    You seem to be very oblivious to this to the point I keep wondering if you are genuinely arguing in bad faith or if you really don't know.

    Nope. Was the topic about okogie and eason being rhythm players? Was it about them not seizing opportunities they had?

    you have an issue with staying on topic. Stick to the topic. It’s not arbitrary since they were never part of the conversation.

    you are the one that responded and took issue with me then once again getting emotional. I already said nothing you say has credibility.

    Ime coaches like one of those bad college football coaches who keeps switching his quarterbacks throughout the game. Never works. Also, Eason still sucks and can’t hit an open three for his life and was a bigger choker than Green in last year’s playoffs, so Ime will of course play him 25+ minutes per game at Denver.

    I don't need to give you quotes. Context: Every single rhythm shooter in history. When? Over hundreds of games (live broadcast) halftime shows, podcasts, interviews, newspaper articles and online articles on websites. The fact that you claim you haven't seen it says one of these situations:
    1. You don't watch any NBA basketball or shows discussing it
    2. You're flat out lying thinking it proves your point - it doesn't
    3. You're wilfully ignorant, unable to retain basic information because it doesn't fit into your completely false narrative.

    You choose. Because you're acting like something that is regular, common knowledge is some hidden esoteric thing people need to find and show you, it's intellectual dishonesty, or you don't even watch basketball, so why are you here? Now, unless you're going to join us all in reality, drop the superiority act because you actually just look high-key r****ded. Cool?
