Jalen Green's thoughts on James Harden coming back to the Rockets

Talented players are not all playing good basketball. That's why we need to develop. That's why coach and system are so important. That's why our young guys playing so inconsistently.

 

Fresno Represent.

 

so was Mobley just a talented player who scrubbed it up in his playoff debut? I Am not trying to make an excuse for the young talented player, but averaging 10ppg in debut is pretty scrubby for a talented player right, or no? It wasn't Garland/Mitchell fault was it? Or was it Bickerstaff fault for not running more plays for the talented best young under 21 yr old on that team?

 

Mobley has been hidden by Allen since he's been in the NBA. People who haven't paid attention tend to overrate him.

 

Jalen’s burner account is gonna hate me saying what I think, so I’ll just keep quiet

 

I love transparency … Good for Green.

 

So Jalen Green actually publicly agreed it could hurt.

Udoka said this:

Does "more complementary honestly" and not looking for an outside guy to save the day sound like "we're going to spend $45m on James Harden"?

It's looking more than ever like this is a Harden leverage play, even if someone in the Rockets front office is buying it. That's from the mouth of two Houston Rockets members rather than "sauces".

 

"Internal growth"

it is the way

 

You are absolutely right! It's easy to forget that we are talking about kids who have been put under a microscope at a very early age. Looking forward to see him mature on and off the court! Hopefully he'll be a key piece in bringing HTown another downtown parade in the NEAR future!!

Go Rockets!!!

He's a talented player who was in the playoffs for the first time....I'm pretty sure the Rockets lost Hakeem Olajuwon's first playoff series too. It's so odd going after one player for struggling in his first ever playoff series while attempting to defend a player who has only helped his team tank for 2 years. One had a bad playoff series, the other has had a bad career thus far.

Seriously though, you do come off as a teenage sports fan with the most simplistic view of the game. The whole mindset where PPG is the ultimate metric shouldn't make it out of high school.

 

That is probably his best and most extensive interview I have watched.

 

This 10000 times

 

Green and others are very much willing to share their thoughts. Why should we care he has shown nothing over the years that matches the play of the person we were sold. His slam dunk contest mirrors his career. Not a fan of hype without substance. Maybe he does something for y’all but I don’t see the appeal. Green needs to stay in the gym and off of media because he has let the franchise and fanbase down.

 

It took Devin Booker a long time to become a winning player. Many of the criticisms levied against Green were valid observations about Booker. I think the talent, performance and drive are comparable. Let's see what happens.

 

This is a great post

 

I wasn't questioning rather Mobley lost and I mentioned he was talented player who struggled but you said that the talented players perform well

Which is funny you mention Dream, who I would imagine put up 20+ppg/12+rpg in playoff debut, which is how talented players usually show up win or lose

The Rockets were tanking for a planned 3 years which also makes your hype that you try to push on the two lotto picks because nobody ever said day one they would change the Rockets from not finishing in bottom tier record instsntly, you created that fiction straw theory and ran with it

I thought the playoffs is where you make your true status? So Mobley has never had a bad stretch h in regular season since entering league? 15ppg and 9rpg is good start for career but its nothing to boast about, including his defense which is nice but Brunson/Randle thought otherwise and didn't seem to have problems with it

Had Mobley put up Dream PO debut numbers your diatribe against Green would have reached even higher levels, if that is even possible

Seriously though you come off as a bitter teenager who doesn't get their way and consistently rants about it, I already told you the TRUTH is simple as 1+1 is 2

Ppg is still being used as it was in the 1960's, you seem to have a problem with it, send a memo to the NBA about it and tell them to get rid of it, inclusive with rpg/spg/bpg

I use all stats equally, not just ppg, which is another thing you are trying to single out and run with it
