    If the Rockets used (free throw line) down jumpers and had a real shooting threat … it would open up driving lanes.

    It also sucks that when Green or almost any of our guards drive.. we always have another Rocket player cutting or diving and brining his man…

    feels as if Rockets players always have to layup over 2-3 people vs 0-1

    If Green played against the Rockets defense every game, he'd be amazing.

    It’s going to get real weird when we look back and see Tate w/ an all rookie first team selection and JG w/o one (especially when he proclaimed ROY on draft day).

    No matter how you feel about @Bobbythegreat, you have to applaud this man’s consistency and the dedication for the one liners pointing out his disdain for the inept overall play of one young Jalen Green. Thank you sir. Never change! I’d like to present you with the most consistent Jalen Green is an awful basketball player award. This is sincere. I appreciate you Bobby. For real.

    "And it took Mobley 4.4 seconds to make a half court shot."

    How long did it take the dunkers for a dunk.....

    Jalen needs to retire it's sad but true.

    Looked the most like a star of anyone in the rising stars challenge, I think you should probably retire instead.

    Who's on your mid-season All Rookie team?

    And Green still has a chance to make team IMO.

    Just needs to have a great 2nd half of season.

    It's been done before.

    It’s the only honorable answer. He has brought shame to the organization and to our community. He should work in a pet shop or a hat store after he leaves the game.

    It’s not over but the “second half” is 24/82 games. More like final 30% of the season. He’d really need to be the best rookie in the league down the stretch.

    Green's first season is almost identical to Kobe's second season in scoring, efficiency, rebounding, passing. His defense is more like Kobe's rookie season.

    So I'll predict Green ends these last 24 games with Kobe's 3rd year stats, roughly: 20 points on 16 shots, 5 rebounds, 4 assists.
