Rockets would be dumb to let Houston sports media/Blogs influence them into trading Jalen Green

    So when he bounces back you'll go back into witness protection?

    It's pointless. You can always misuse certain metrics to paint false narratives. I remember ppl were using the same metrics to say Sengun was the best defender on the team, which is definitely a lie. Metrics are subjective

    Misuse certain metrics.

    There was a literal WALL of statistics proving how f*Cking god awful Jalen Green is to the Houston Rockets.

    Dig your head deeper into the sand and ignore the obvious hahahaha.

    Cut it out, you are super happy when he plays bad because you brag about and post his numbers only from bad games

    But I get it you are a concerned fanatic so Jalen has you worried, I get it

    Still doesn't take away from you wanting Mobley over him as the pick

    It is what it be

    Not dismissing that part

    More so its a big time interview and your childhood dream is to play in the NBA so you take it and tell them face to face like real male-men do, and say I enjoyed the workout but don't draft me or pull a Francis/Vancouver situation

    If KPJ was that toxic, what does that say about the owner/commish character? Or if Mobley is that said franchise guy you really want at 2 then sure you would get rid of a toxic player you got at dollar store value (55 - 60th pick) that nobody basically wanted to trade for

    You're projecting your emotional instability on others my guy.

    Did I want a better player than Jalen as a Rockets fan? Of course.

    Would I love it if Jalen was a good player? Of course.

    Does it suck that Jalen is terrible? Of course.

    You're the one with the weird emotional attachment to a scrub, not me. I'm just a Rockets fan.

    Well I think very little of Stone and Fertitta. Silas obviously was terrible too. KPJ was that bad but it's a moot point. Can't take it back

    Is Sengun the best defender on the roster? I've read SOF's post metrics that they CLAIM to prove he is.

    The standardize stats used to measure players all point toward to JG not being very good this year.

    The number of Your own posts showcase your hatred/dislike(emotional outbursts) for the pick that started phase 1

    You are the fair weather fanatic of the Rockets, allegedly

    Better is a personal choice, which the Rockets front office chose to go with the guard over the big, so they thought Green would be better player long term, draft is a casino box, gamble away

    At least you tried to showcase your side as a concerned fanatic .... Big props to you killa, for that emotional stability

    There you go again with your weird emotional conceptualization.

    There's no "hate", there should be no "love", Jalen is just a bad basketball player... it's not that serious.

    The whole “you’re a hater” if you criticize a player narrative needs to die a quick death. I’m certain that maybe there are some people who just hate certain players…I can see that. But man, I’ve been very actively rooting for the Rockets since I was about 10. I was in the Summit for a ton of really disappointing moments…and in the building for Game 7 against the Knicks and Game 4 against the Magic. I’m not ****ing going anywhere. I’ve shared the Rockets with my sons, and my older son is a massive Rockets fan.

    I’m not rooting against Jalen, and I never will. My opinions on him aren’t about me hoping he doesn’t do well. Good lord, he’s a Rocket…of course I hope he does well! But I’m not going to lie to myself, either.

    The lone exception for me is probably Scottie Pippen. He can still kiss my ass.

    I agree with you.

    I don't think you make is personal, but if a player really under performs, then it is fair to be critical of him.

    If a player IS an unquestioned POS (OJ Simpson, Tyreke Hill, KPJ, Kobe) then calling them scumbags if you have a justification is fine...... just no one should be calling FVF or Earl Cureton scumbags because they haven't ever been bad dudes.

    Jalen is a good kid, but he is not a pro player or NBA level player.
    Silas made the mistake of century to this team and franchise to let him play and act he is a superstar in the previous two years, while he is not even NBA ready player.

    He has no fundamentals ,all he brings to the table is shooting and last night 3/15, 0/3 stats not encouraging.
    SG position is Rockets main priority right now, this team may play inn but not with a low basketball iq and tunnel vision player, time to move on from Green, we need real, competent, consistent shooters.
    Seen enough from Green..

    My favorite was when the members of the 2022 World Champion Astros were called "losers" during the 2023 season in that forum. Love that for us!!!

    While true, Jalen's FG% of players playing 10+ minutes was the lowest of all (20%).
    Its one thing to have a bad game, its another to be the worst guy out there on a bad night.
    10th out of 10.
