    The NBA is too tough on his vocal cords as well.

    I'm not a fan of the lack of personal accountability. This is what soft looks like.

    3/15 FG, 0/3 3P%
    I like Jalen but a player whose only one concrete skillset is shooting has statistics like this, in no team he plays 29 minutes...
    I congratulate Udoka for his patience to a very low basketball iq player like him, but how long
    Green is same Green, he is still in 2021 and does not develop.
    I am saying this development especially mentally, he has Tunnel vision, inconsistent and his game after 2 years is still raw, he plays street basketball.

    There would not be much rhythm in a Playoff setting either because the opposing team will attempt to throw you off your rhythm......

    Oh boi, very frustrating combo guard, this one.

    SGA was one of the talents on the Clippers......sure he was picked at 11th and not hyped.

    But I thought he had a decent rookie season.

    37% from 3 in 26 minutes.

    Sounds like a casual who doesnt really follow the nba.

    SGA was showing signs of being a really good player as a rookie. He was the centerpiece of the PG trade. If you didnt know who he was until his fifth year that tells me a lot about why youd still be high on Jalen.

    Jalen has never even had a season as efficient as SGA's rookie season to date. Stop the insanity.

    I don’t understand how folks can call Udoka’s offense lazy. They were still getting open looks but were bricking them.

    Sounds like he's calling out his teammates not Ime.

    IMO...

    Pace (more possessions) can include stuff like steals and offensive rebounds. But in this context, sounds like he's referring to fast-break transition versus half court set. Against the trees, playing more fast breaks are probably more advantageous to our team. Might have helped, but probably still wouldn't have won us the game. It's also one of these things where, it's suggested because our main half-court offense can't match theirs pound for pound.

    I don't want to call it a gimmick, but it's because team's current skills lack in the primary style, so has to rely on other ways to gain advantage. On average fast break is maybe 15-20% of an overall NBA offense (if that). So if Half-Court sets makes up 80% of possessions. Playing a bit faster could help, but it's not going to solve underlying issue.


    On playing fast, there's levels to this. We play Carlisle's Pacers next, that's as fast of a play style as it gets. Will Rockets and Green out-shine them?

    Right. It's probably best to tread lightly about other players english then

    It's a slow down tempo which doesn't exactly fit the athletes we have.

    Jalen Bari Brooks- even Alpi don’t mind running

    it’s FVV who doesn’t play fast because he can’t finish at rim , he misses Jalen on atleast 2-3 alleys a game if he looked to push ball up court

    It’s why our offense looks better when Amen / Jalen / Cam rebounds because they push the ball up the court

    Ime needs to start Amen and let FVV come off the bench to settle things down if need be - or play more Amen - Jalen vs Amen - FVV guard lineups

    Fertitta and Stone wanted Dillon, Fred and Jeff....those are all slower players.....it happens...they would also give us 12+ added Wins.....
