    These young bloods are forming a truly special brotherhood early on and you really do love to see it. It's so incredibly rare for a team to genuinely get along and support one another when so many split into cliques. The culture these baby ballers are establishing bodes well for their future success and our Rockets championship aspirations. Something tells me this is going to be one of the most close-knit rosters the NBA has seen in quite some time.

    you seem heavily biased towards green...i know you said otherwise but are you sure you are not under a strong groupthink influence?

    i mean jalen may end up never being anything more than andrew wiggins... and alpi is probably already better than wiggins...

    the ultimate potential is almost crazy talk, its all high degree guesswork, thats why i think puttin a ceiling on alpi but not on jalen green comes off as based on pure hype

    and hype around green is unbelievable its annoying :)

    yeah.. I didn't want to get in the other threat with all the slander about Jalen's tatts and whatnots... And I know he's only 19...
    But, I gotta say, he comes across as super-ditzy. I mean my daughter is 16 and she sounds more mature.... The risk of a flame-out is here, for sure. I suggest we all chill out with the hype a bit.

    I havent seen anything yet on tomorrow nights game being broadcast? I know they did one or two in recent years on Facebook live, but haven’t heard anything yet. One would think unless it’s something like that it’ll be on ATT.

    For me I have to rely on NBA league pass and for whatever reason historically they say they don’t cover preseason but they usually do after the first game or two which is annoying. I think NBAtv picks up a good majority of the preseason games too.

    Either way, if anyone knows how it’s being shown I’d appreciate the low down.

    Thanks

    What exactly did he say that came across as ditzy? If he's as immature as you say then clearly there must be some examples.

    All except for the MIA/ESPN2 game are on league pass; ESPN triggers a blackout.
    The sole away game in Toronto is also on rockets.com

    Tue Oct 5th at 7pm Central
    WAS @ HOU
    ATT Sportsnet and LP

    Thu Oct 7th at 7 PM Central
    MIA @ HOU
    ESPN2

    Mon Oct 11th at 6pm Central
    HOU @ TOR
    rockets.com and LP

    Fri Oct 15th at 7:30pm Central
    SAS @ HOU
    ATT Sportsnet and LP



    All except the MIA game are on LP, since ESPN2 is covering it, thus a national blackout
    The Toronto game is on LP and rockets.com

    I said "comes across" as immature, hopefully I am wrong... What I am going by is all the giggling, the fashion talk, the flippant "I'm gonna be a superstar" remarks... somewhat of "red flags". Hopefully that's just my age talking and that's the way the superstars of tomorrow will be. I know MJ, Dream, these guys had very, very different demeanor about them... We'll see. Hope is that I am reading too much, but some caution is warranted IMO...

    So laughing (having a sense of humor) and displaying confidence in oneself and ones abilities now equates to being immature and ditzy? I'm not really sure how that's logical or even warranted in the least bit as far as red flags go but ok.

    people expose themselves and reveal their true colors on here on the daily

    Jalen Green gets a grill: we immediately get a thread on here expressing fear that he’ll be distracted by life outside of basketball

    Jalen Green has some tattoos: we have a thread saying he looks like he’s been locked up and could become JR Smith

    now it’s he’s “ditzy”

    the coded language and dog whistles coming out before he’s even played 1 game…

    Hey! Easy with outrage manufacture. Read first!

    I am comparing the guy to guys from the olden days, MJ, Dream, etc. - champions, who were dead serious about their business and came across as such... and who are black.

    So chill with this non-sense about coded dog whistles! If you wanna say that I am old and don't know how the NBA stars nowadays are, fine, I myself said this may be the case. But spare me all the BS about coded dog-whistles!

    If you don't agree with every personal decision made by Jalen green, I'm afraid you're an avid National Socialist and also a Klansman :p.

    In all seriousness, I'd expect a 19 year old to come in with big confidence. Every player in the NBA has to convince themselves they're the best basketball player on earth in order to compete with the well established stars running around, can't get starstruck on an NBA court.
