I personally love the guy. I hate his guts right now, but if he was doing all that to CJ as a member of the Suns, I’d be all about it. Plays extremely hard, a pest, knows his role.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 10:16 amI don't know if I 100% agree. Alvarado is one of these guys who gets right up in the grill of the guy he's defending. He is constantly pushing, shoving, elbowing, scratching, bumping. Technically all of that is over the line and should be called a foul, but refs rarely call it unless it's a blatant hit that knocks the offensive player off balance. Is that "dirty" play? Maybe, maybe not, but I think it's not very sportsmanlike to be constantly bashing and smashing your opponent just to try to throw them off balance and irritate them. Plus Alvarado is constantly jawing and talking trash the whole game, again to try to irritate his opponent. That isn't really a style of basketball I like to watch. If he were on my team, sure, I'd be more affectionate toward all of this. But I still would rather watch a league where guys play hard while respecting each other and the rules of the game.
I would love him to take Payton’s spot on our roster.
Herb jones on the other hand can go fuck himself. Overrated defender with how they’ve been drooling over him because of two blocked shots, and numerous cheap shots with a bad attitude like he somebody. He’s a nobody
