    Didn't Kessler rebound the ball over the top of him late in regulation and didn't Ime sub him out when they needed a DEFENSIVE stop?

    I guess Ime agree with me too

    Give him Jordan Clarkson role. Take some stress off and teach him to use his strengths. He got lots of bad habits during Silas/KPJ era. Start from scratch to teach him.

    He is an important part of the 6-men core. Still lots of tim to progress.

    Nah its ok, hes struggling mightily. Ita the ignore all, blame jalen bs thats tiresome.

    We won a gritty OT game, and all anyone can say is Jalen sucks.

    Its pitiful

    Lets talk about alpi, cam, the grit, the defense, the anything else.

    Nope.

    Leta talk jalen

    Sengun had 14 boards, Kessler had 10.
    And no he’s not subbed out.
    Ime literally has said he’s a budding superstar and is going to push him like he did Embiid.
    You’re going to have to get over your hatred and bias. Alp is your franchise player. You can hate it all you want but that’s the facts kiddo

    He will not be an alpha dog! Bari is an alpha dog! Cam is an alpha dog! Sengun and Tari are likable alphas. You look at Jalen and you dont see that attitude...you dont see the contribution...you dont see the production...To me, it is a little bit heartbreaking because if we want to play in for the post season, Sengun needs an alpha Jalen, the teams needs that...but I dont see it...unfortunate!

    it dont matter if Jalen hits his pre draft picks now or in the future. It only matters when Jalen is costing the Rockets money. If jalen was getting paid and he was doing this, trade him. Now you have a chance to lock him up before he starts playing well. If he doesn't then you trade him.

    Franchise? No. But he's becoming a solid player on a young team. His defense is still atrocious

    im not defending Jalen green. I said he is playing badly. Im saying how Jalen playing badly now can help the rockets in the future. who are currently overachieving as it is with him playing badly.

    Remember, Kessler didn't start the first half, only after halftime. Weren't you paying attention?

    Franchise. All star. Potential super star.
    And a good defender; nothing says bad defender except your biased “eyes”

    I agree. But we have seen Jalen have that mentality before but that was way back in his rookie year.

    I thought Ime could put that dog in Jalen like he did tatum.

    i dont know..

    Kessler doesn’t start. He still played 32 min. Were you paying attention?
    Alp just worked over one of the best shot blockers in the league and out rebounded him.
    I know it burns you up, it’s ok kiddo. You’ll accept it once you lose the hate in you

    His defense and rebounding outside of his area is horrible. Fact! But if his fans are bias

    How much height Utah has? Kessler, Lauri, Olynik, Collins,,, They even did not bother to use Yurtseven, another 7 footer.
