    looooooooooooool!

    I know CA dropped a "puffy" earlier in the season when Diddy already had a bunch of allegations on him.

    CA should have dropped another "puffy" the way the refs were giving the rockets the business this game.

    jail. all of them.

    We have never seen this before

    He is only young. Inconsistency is expected.......................but this is different. He has never had a stretch like this ever and never scored in the way he is scoring. The different variety of shots he is making is new

    This game was different. Getting 30 points because you were hot from outside or not guarded well is one thing… he was guarded well in this game, and he forced it, repeatedly and hit hard shots, flashed the type of play that cannot be stopped by scheme or effort- and he did it late when it mattered. Reminded me a lot of Harden honestly. He took the ball and he dictated what would happen and very few guys can do that… and 80% of those guys are Hall of Famers.

    Is Jalen a system?

    I agree, but I don't think Harden ever shot threes that consistently and convincingly. Green is flashing some elite shooting of late.

    Totally agree. They were doubling, trapping, with great defenders and Jalen just imposed his will. They could not stop him, it was glorious.

    He has to do it for a full season - but he has never done what he has done this month. He has been at worst one of the 5-10 best players in the league the last month, and probably top 5. He has also progressively shown more effort and more comfort as the season has gone on. Silas and the prior culture is responsible for a lot of these issues.

    Harden was never an elite 3 point shooter - he got to the point of being solid, and he could get the shot whenever he wanted it - if Green gets up to 37-38% from 3, he will lead the league in scoring because he, like Harden can take that shot over anyone and at anytime.

    Jalen is so much more athletically imposing at times. He reminds me a lot of Penny Hardaway pre injuries.

    Shout out to DB. Not only the 3s in OT but he bailed us out multiple times in the 4th when we just couldn't get anything going against their zone. He a few big plays initiating on offense down the stretch including the and-1 that never got called.

    Brewer with a shot would have been an amazing player.

    Read the news on puff daddy. No longer cool to be associated with him.

    The first 15 games of Hardens 30+ points streak in 2019 he shot FIFTEEN 3s per game at 41%.

    Why are people arguing over whether Stone offered Green in trades at the deadline?? Why does it matter at this point? Yes - Stone had Green involved in trade talks, primarily involving the NETS.

    No one knew Green would average 29 points a game this month, and that includes Stone and the Rockets.

    Just be grateful that Stone did not bench him coming out of the all star break and that he is playing so well in a Rockets jersey.

    This picture proves why the most unassuming athletes are baseball players.

    Yea Brooks had a great game. He and Adams will be great for the Rockets next season. Two key players who helped Memphis get to the conference finals. Getting Adams was the most underrated trade before the deadline.

    You'll never know, without Silas and Roosh he would not be as pissed to show the world that he actually cared......

    Even bad experiences are experiences that help you grow.

    And his problem was never scoring, it was when his shot did not go in, was likely forcing it or he is likely being passive or he is slacking in other areas.

    Which he fixed recently.
