    Thinking back I don't even think we lost much playing Green extended minutes. Green in his first season was the 4th option behind Wood, KPJ, and EG. It's only last season we kinda let him run wild out there with KPJ. But then again we had no other prospects that was hindered by Greens extended minutes, we basically had no backup shooting guards for two seasons.

    However this season with Cam and Amen waiting in the wings, I think it's time to cut some of Greens minutes if he continues to play this way

    that’ not really how the Internet works.
    When the team losses the fans get frustrated and dump on the players.
    C.Wood and J.Wall got as much hate if not more, even though they played better for us than Green does.

    I think truth is exactly the opposite of what you say: there is an unexplainable, weird, irrational infatuation with Green by a group of posters, while OTOH the vitriol is pretty much par for the course for frustrated fans dumping on a player who is being promoted as a star from Day One but is nothing of the sort.

    And how exactly do T-Wolves fans feel about Wiggins? Warm and fuzzy?

    I wish the internet was was just a little more like real life or at least a little nicer...but I also wish I had enough money to purchase a basketball team and sadly both goals are equally unrealistic

    Maybe if people like you didn't say he played well - when he clearly most certainly didn't. There'd be less pointing out of just how f*Cking atrocious he is at basketball.

    "even after he has a good game, like last nights game"

    ARE
    YOU
    KIDDING?

    Oh. You mean when people who questioned whether he was worthy of a #2 pick - received for the past couple of years?

    LOL. Pot. Meet Kettle. Now lets all laugh.

    We need a reliable scorer off the bench, we have lost games because of Green

    Give the kid a break. I don't think he's efficient enough to be getting so many minutes, and think he needs to improve, but saying stuff like that is just mean.

    Anxiously awaiting it.

    Simulations and video games are made pretty realistic nowadays.......it is not the same but it is the best without ponying up much money.

    I have a good feeling this Atlanta game is going to be some kind of turning point for Jalen.

    I have no idea why we aren’t giving Whitmore a shot.

    I reckon you've made a dozen predictions for Jalen to turn things around in the last 2 years.

    Udoker is actually a fairly sophomore coach himself......he is playing it safe.

    Playing one good game is just fluke.

    Lol maybe, Atlanta is going to be a trap game, their Offense is still very much intact even with Bogdanovic likely out......

    Those guys can score.
