    Rockets in huddle in 2 point game with less than 30 seconds. He gets in a shouting match with Jabari the 19 year old rookie when the game is on the line.

    12-13-22
    3rd quarter, Green gets blocked by Okogie and was the only guy in position to get back in transition. He gave up on the play and Okogie, with the ball, beat him to the rim with little resistance.

    1-23-23
    Jalen gets fouled in first quarter against Minnesota and throws the ball at the defender instead of handing to the ref.

    3-23-23
    Does windmill jam to end game they had lost against Memphis. You are down 7 with 5 seconds left, dribble out the clock. He could have hurt himself on meaningless points.

    Nothing wrong with painted nails either. If you can hoop and you play for H-town you got my support.

    Let me try. Jalen Green's hairdo and fingernails were a distraction on the floor so much so that the team's offense was one of the worse historically. Yet he refused to change his appearance. I've never seen a guy so selfishly narcissistic. :D

    You're absolutely correct.

    It's just your opinion.

    Everybody has one.

    He was the first option. So you saying it makes him play worse?

    Understood you are being sarcastic but Green and the Rockets offense are linked...

    Well, at least people are wise enough not to defend the immaturity of Green...

    nothing wrong with Jalen fighting for minutes. I just don’t think KPJ will be pushing very hard. Regardless of what KPJ does, if Jalen busts, I’ll be fine with his exit.

    It was a petty nonsense response compared to what we are talking about with KPJ.

    Ah, so you're aware of it, but you want to be dishonest anyway.

    Par for the course I guess.

    Your desire to spin Jalen Green's poor performance is truly next level. He's lucky to have someone like you.

    Talk about par for the course.

    I was obviously being sarcastic.
