    It doesn't matter. The kid isn't rattled by the media. He is making very good progress.

    Great run. It's funny how cool Eric Gordon is while the young guys are all excited.

    And Sengun with that final 3 and the goofy celebration LOL.

    But the defense shown by the Lakers during that stretch was atrocious.

    I don’t think the media or casual fans give two hoots or even know about Jalen Green right now, I think he has a free pass this year

    it's a really good trait to have. Jalen has had some pretty embarrassing moments his first year and he just shrugs it off and smiles. Thats a super star quality. People hate on him for that too.

    That might've been the most enjoyable Rockets win since the game Harden shot the 3 in Draymond's face.

    Eh. u can spin it any way u want.
    I hate folks that smile/shrug it off when they goof off or made a mistake. Remember Dwight? that dude is always smiling after he fks up.

    Top 5 win of the season so far. I'm going to say many Lakers fans didn't see this road bump tonight. Sengun bullying Melo and Lebron on 1 play is just jaw-dropping.

    Naw man Jalen's Star was pretty high. because this rookie class is so good, and Jalen is not (yet) head and shoulders over his peers, people have been saying he is a bust. disappointment everywhere.

    Jalen coming though.

    Eric Gordon is a fun bird, I like that a lot but still his contract has to come off the books somehow.

    Tate lowkey a ball stopper and ball hog. it's all masked by his amazing hustle and left hand hooks. If Tate would just know his damn role he would be better than KJ. Dude still thinks he's first option for the Australians

    Yeah it’s interesting to me like what did this dude work on in the off-season. I saw him in NY and i think Rico Hines video scrimmages. Dude just worked on unnecessary fancy foot work and weird dribble jab steps hesitation crossover bullshit and step back 3’s. And that stupid behind the back where he always stumbles backwards. He does seem to be more focused on man to man D and maybe 3. But not much else. Why can’t this man make a regular one handed layup instead of using both hands or shooting a layup lol

    You cannot teach athleticism though, Tate is a tough guy and some of his buckets are crafty........but he is still 26 very undersized, the upside is limited.

    For the right price.
