@ToumaniBuckets Because your mother is meant to be fucked

@chonamoreira @BlazersArgento Saying such things only shows that you are a dwarf with an underdeveloped brain

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@xiaosen77 @ZHsosmart "I unequivocally agree. Support Carlson and trade Yang, and you will advance to the second round of the playoffs."

@biantaishabi5 你这个假洋鬼子，串你妈呢，连你祖宗是谁都搞不清楚了吗？？？
You fake foreign devil, are you joking? Can't you even figure out who your ancestors are

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@shaesharpeshow @xiongge0606 Stop your damn excuses. Foreign devils love to engage in racial discrimination, yet they still pretend to be good people. Your double standards are not only evident on the basketball court, but pervasive everywhere

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@shaesharpeshow Impossible, it has been over 3 years since your last statement, and Sharp is currently unable to play due to injury

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@ThePDXKid Before Yang Hansen, who would pay attention to an American team that only wants to earn RMB and doesn't cultivate the rookies it selects

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@lkdlsld @shaesharpeshow @trailblazers @TrailBlazersPR well done!!!!!!

I'm tired of the lazy hate directed at Yang Hansen.

Every time someone asks why he isn't getting minutes, the same tired excuses come out. Let's break down all 9 of them—with actual logic instead of recycled talking points. 🧵

1️⃣ "He's not good enough for the regular rotation."

Nobody is asking Hansen to take minutes from Robert Williams III or Donovan Clingan. They're clearly better players right now.

We're talking about garbage time and the leftover minutes when BOTH are unavailable.

Why are people pretending those are the same thing?

2️⃣ "Well, Hansen just isn't good."

When your top two centers are out, you have two choices: go small or play a backup big.

Hansen doesn't need to be an All-Star. He just needs to be a better option than whoever else is available.

By this logic, let's ban every bench player with a BPM below +2 and play 4-on-5 instead.

3️⃣ "Carlson barely plays either."

Exactly. So why is Carlson getting those minutes ahead of Hansen?

Carlson is an older two-way player with a limited NBA track record. Hansen is a young first-round pick with developmental upside.

If neither is part of your regular rotation, why wouldn't you prioritize the player with more long-term potential?

What exactly is Portland gaining by playing Carlson instead?

4️⃣ "But the Blazers win when Carlson plays!"

It's 2026. Can we please stop confusing correlation with causation?

Carlson has 0 Win Shares, a negative BPM, and negative WS/48.

Yet we're supposed to credit him for team wins simply because he happened to be on the floor?

By that logic, Scoot Henderson has played 200+ minutes in wins.

So how many first-round picks is your team offering for Scoot?

I'll wait.

5️⃣ "You think you know more than Coach Nori?"

Ah yes, the ultimate argument: "The coach said so, therefore it must be right."

Coaches know more than fans. That doesn't make them infallible.

NBA executives passed on Michael Jordan in 1984. Doc Rivers kept relying on Montrezl Harrell during the Clippers' 2020 playoff collapse.

Even experienced professionals make questionable decisions.

You can respect a coach's expertise AND question a specific rotation decision.

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

6️⃣ "Portland wants to win NOW. There's no time to develop rookies."

Once again, nobody is asking Hansen to replace Clingan or Williams.

We're talking about minutes that become available when those two aren't playing.

And here's the funny part: Hansen currently has positive Win Shares and a positive BPM, while Carlson's numbers are negative.

Small samples? Absolutely. But if your entire argument is about winning, you can't just ignore the available evidence when it doesn't support your narrative.

7️⃣ "Hansen's stats are inflated by garbage time."

Oh, right. Because Carlson's supposed three-point shooting over the previous two seasons came exclusively against starting lineups in crunch time?

Carlson has benefited from low-leverage minutes too.

The difference? This season, he hasn't even been particularly productive in those situations.

You can't dismiss Hansen's production because of the competition while giving Carlson a free pass for the exact same thing.

8️⃣ "Hansen's sample size is too small to prove he's improved."

And how exactly is he supposed to increase that sample size while sitting on the bench?

This is the ultimate Catch-22:

"He needs to prove himself to earn minutes."

"Okay, give him some minutes to prove himself."

"No, he hasn't proven himself yet."

The normal progression for a developing rookie is straightforward:

Good preseason ➡️ Garbage-time opportunities ➡️ Strong performances ➡️ A chance at more minutes.

Hansen has shown progress in preseason, improved in limited regular-season opportunities, and just delivered a career-best performance.

His reward?

Two consecutive DNPs.

Apparently, playing well is now a reason to stay on the bench.

If you're going to bench the kid, at least give him a chance to play badly first.

9️⃣ "He's trash. Portland can just waive him whenever they want."

Then why did Portland pick up his team option?

Seriously.

If the organization believes Hansen has no NBA future, why continue investing a roster spot and guaranteed money in him?

And if the plan is to develop him, why aren't there more opportunities to do exactly that?

Portland can't have it both ways.

If Hansen is a legitimate developmental investment, treat him like one.

If he's being kept primarily for marketing appeal rather than basketball reasons, fans have every right to question the organization's intentions.

Here's the bottom line:

Nobody is demanding that Yang Hansen start.

Nobody is pretending he's better than Clingan or Williams.

Nobody is saying he deserves guaranteed rotation minutes regardless of performance.

We're asking for one simple thing:

When your top two centers aren't available, give your young first-round pick a fair opportunity to compete for the remaining minutes.

Let his play determine whether he deserves more.

That's not unreasonable. That's how player development is supposed to work.

Stop treating a request for opportunity like a demand for superstar treatment.

@hoopblazers Chinese fans will certainly feel angry and dissatisfied about this

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@hoopblazers What Chinese fans are angry about is not being able to see the training skills of the management and coaches. If Yang was chosen in the first round just to earn RMB, he is playing tricks on Chinese fans

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@MrBuckBuckNBA I hope everyone who hasn't understood why this is happening can take a look here

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@MrBuckBuckNBA Shouldn't Chinese fans be dissatisfied and angry about such an arrangement

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@KY_PDX 你个假洋鬼子，串什么呢

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@JailBlazer42 串你妈呢，你个假羊狗子

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@ArwoNBA You chose a player in the first round at the 16th pick but didn't use him, nor did you show any intention to develop him. A Chinese player who was highly expected was wasted by you in terms of growth time and the feelings of fans. You deserve to be scolded. You are simply trashy

[Eleven @Eleven36709221]

@blazerreactz @Isaacococ999 You are just talking nonsense
