Yeah, let's blame the fans for our awful takes, why bother taking responsibility for the last two years of being wrong? Instead, let's hate on our budding star just to stick it to Rockets fans and avoid admitting being wrong for ridiculing the obvious star potential of our Rockets player. Great reasoning there.
The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.
Jalen has never been a bad player. I mean, this guy has talent. He likes to play basketball. His only problem is CONTINUITY. And if he can standardize his play from last night, he will be an All-Star.
It's definitely not a "Green vs. Sengun" thing. Anyone who tries to make it so doesn't understand. They should be able to become our version of Jokic and Murray. They seem to get along very well both on and off the court.
Jokic and Murray was more like a better version of Deron and Boozer, or Deron and Mehmet Okur. The only way is probably a non PG like Kobe and Gasol.....but that is a stretch because Kobe is really more talented.
Yeah he can create separation whenever he wants to get off a shot. His problem has just been fundamentals. Guy just looks like a player who's never been coached hard his whole life, and doesn't make winning basketball plays outside of scoring. If we can just get more effort from him and he continues to get stronger he has a real chance of being great.
Like I was saying... Ime is going to get back to those Jalen/Sengun PNR's when Jalen learns to recognize the bad mtachups and recognize when players are playing him in the drop, etc. Ime is teaching Jalen algebra before he goes to calculus. I love Ime, man. this is the stuff Jalen was supposed to be learning year one but we had freaking silas.
Yeah, and I can show you post-game quotes where he talks about the JG and Sengun pnr’s that we are already running, even in that same interview?!?! You really haven’t seen JG and Sengun run actions together? The difference vs last year is the fact we also run a lot of DHOs and Horns (which both offer JG a PnR, if he would take it), and the fact JG and Sengun stagger minutes, so we simply don’t see them on the court together as much as Sengun/FVV. The other thing Coach talks about (in that same interview) is JG needing to read the weak side pass better on his PNRs. We possibly can help with that by spamming JG, but I think Coach prefers JG learn that with the second unit, while giving more PnRs to FVV with the first.
HP you really dont be paying attention to what I'm saying. You guys hate Jalen because he is struggling with the basics he was never taught but some of y'all THINK he should just know from birth. some of y'all think he is trash because you think he is who yall think he is - mid. I have been saying you wouldn't think Jalen was ass now if Ime was running MORE PnR's with Sengun as his anchor, not that he is not running any at all. if Jalen was running as many PnRs as FVV you guys wouldnt be so annoying and angry because Jalen would be thriving. I'm saying that IME is teaching Jalen the basics he should have been taught as a rookie and you are seeing him learn this stuff in real time. All this stuff he is learning like reading the defense, attacking the mismatch, and trying to find the open guy on drives this is all stuff Ime is teaching Jalen while he is trying to win games. Jalen is thinking the game right now and not hooping which makes him look slower some here are not giving Jalen the space to re-write the trash programming of silas. you expect him to just know this ish and go crazy when he has a bad game. Im saying, once he learns this basic stuff he should have learned as a rookie, I think Jalen will get even more Pnrs with Sengun making that an even more devastating combo.
