Yes I've said this before (since mid season) *Pick what side of the defender you want to drive by *Call for a screen if need be * Jab step or fake the way you don't want to go *Drive the side originally intended. *Draw two defenders then kick out....only one defender.....take it to the rack. *Set up at 3-pt line (after kick out option) *Everyone slides over on the perimeter to make room *A good chance he gets the ball again on the same possession Everyone playing hot potato with the ball passing and sharing the wealth. Hope it happens next season with our new additions
Rockets fans couldn’t be any more pleased with how Green has finished his rookie season. There were some really rough spots for Green this season, but he has turned it on and played at a very high level the last month of the season…. Also he is better than Anthony Edwards…. Edwards may be a bigger and stronger athlete but he doesn’t have the feel for the game that Green has.
So happy with what what Green has shown. Have to admit, the last two years has been way more fun than I thought it would be. -The tank lottery has me glued to the scoreboards, just like in a competitive year. -The excitement of potential high end franchise altering draft picks. -More interest in the tournament -More meaningful summer league -Off Season in general just more exciting. One more tank year to go, and we are off to the races.
First of all this poster was shtting on green cause of his boner for mobley. Any one that tries to talk or disagree was basically called a dumbass or an unintelligent being who can't see how bad green was and was just being a big Ole green only fan. Mind u this poster behavior was like this 10-20 games in and continues to act like he was the smartest and has the most Insight on green until asb. May be if he wasn't such an ass about it people wouldn't rag on boobythegreat as much when he flip flop his stance. Folks can change their mind sure, but don't b expecting people to not call out on your sht takes especially if u were an ass on how right u were initially and for everyone not being smart enough to understand. It also funny how he was using stats incorrectly and chiding others for being too dumb to understand. Bottom line: u make a knee jerk sht take about green, don't b surprised if u get clown on for being wrong. Especially if u spent a good part of the season insulting and shtting on everyone else for being "green only fans"
The key to season one was to learn how to score and how to get to the free throw line. Think he accomplished it. Wasn't sure he would get there. But he's further ahead than I thought he would be. Now he has to figure out how to make it look easy. Everything still looks like he is fighting himself. After that, start leading. Demand excellence. And then we can start dealing with double teams.
Feels good. Hate and slander towards Jalen came from every conceivable corner and aimed at more than basketball. Some really respected contributors here and social media influencers got wrapped up in the hive mentality and the bully syndrome of putting him down while he was struggling instead of giving him genuine support and fandom. Nobody wanted to accept that the day 1 lineup was flawed AF and inserting brand new rookies into that maelstrom was not going to immediately show results since "#2 pIcKs sHoUlD bE gReAt dAy 1". Not surprising things got better when Thies was jettisoned and not surprising again to end the season that you remove the touch needy vets and the young guns look great. Its awesome as a fan to have that ride or die support for your guys and it pays off. Rocket fans are lucky to have Jalen Green steering the ship. Great young kid and an awesome player. Next guy we should be applauding is Rafael Stone.
This is always my favorite thread to come back to, starting on the very first page. "Just LOL at Jalen Green being 'promising'" lol. The backpedaling after the realization that he was good and everyone who said to be patient was obviously correct all along was the best part.
I’m hoping this team will be so stacked with talent in the next few years double teaming a lot will be very difficult.
260 pages littered with awful knee jerk takes by anti green/Mobley folks. From the beginning of the season to after asb. But according to jiggly it's only 3-5 Trolls sprouting the same thing. Dumbass logic. Here's to the folks who were patient with Jalen green, it was a pleasure watching him improve and grow. Hope he sets a career high In the remaining game. Future looks bright with green on the team.
