Houston Rockets forget all about Jalen Green in the 4th quarter

As usually KPj wanted to be the hero and threw the game

 

Sweet smile, Alpi, sweet smile.

 

We just needed to play 4 third quarters. On the season we needed to play 44 third quarters. We just need to learn how to play more thirds. Problem: solved.

 

Here's the thing. The ball should be moving to the best matchup first. And we should milk it. More often than not that is Green because nobody else has a matchup advantage. It doesn't take a great point guard to do it, but it does take a mentally strong team to do the right thing rather than the dumb thing. All that said, we don't have a lot of matchups that we can take advantage of. But I think yes, Green should be touching the ball every time down the stretch until he is obviously shut down by the defender or defense.

 

silas' and porter's collective bball IQ is off the charts. to the left

 

This is 100% on Jalen.

If he wants the ball, he needs to DEMAND the ball.

Someone needs to step up as a leader......Green should be the leading candidate ATM.....but this is all on him.

lol your boy kpj brings the ball upcourt, dribbles for 10sec, throws up a contested brick... but it's all on jalen. ~ 100% ~

 

Yeah, that is not the point, do you think if Green would be like " BALL" that KPJ would ignore him? If that is the case then you are right, but if Green goes to the corner and doesn't get the ball - he is 100% able to go GET THE DAMNED BALL.....

And, I want him to.

If you have played the game and you are hot, you know how to DEMAND the ball - there is no BEING NICE out there when you are trying to win....demand the ball....

It’s not on the PG to recognize who is on fire. It’s on the player who is on fire to take the ball from the PG before he does something dumb.

 

Haven't you guys seen Jalen bring it up a lot? I mean he could go get the ball......and not play wall flower.

This is only true if the PG lacks awareness. A GOOD PG would look to actively setup the hot hand. How many times have we heard growing up the phrase "FEED THE HOT HAND"?

 

My post was in jest. I completely agree.

 

maybe jalen simply doesn't want some tamales thrown at his face postgame?

 

Jokes aside, I would like to see Green straight up rip KPJ of the ball when he's doing his discount Kobe impersonation.

 

I feel like it's common sense that you feed the hot player the dam ball. kpj ego is too dam big if he needs green to tell him to pass the dam ball.

 

jokes aside, i get the impression that every person in the organization aside from john lucas perhaps, stands back and treats porter with kiddie gloves because they all know he could just snap at any moment

 

Or maybe the other team is guarding Green because he is standing in the corner and not moving off the ball?

KPJ just takes so LONG to decide what to do sometimes for a team that is supposed to play with pace.
