    Give me your address and I’ll send you some colloidal silver. It’s a miracle drug, I’m 185 years old and still alive and punching the pudding like a 20 year old and it’s all because of colloidal silver and wearing magnets.

    Know what else would help? Shooting over 30% on open threes when basically the only thing positive that you do on a basketball court is score.

    Jalen is one of the most fouled players that doesn't get the call.

    Refs reward those who drive the paint as scores......because they are the straws that stir the drinks.

    It's been that way forever, MJ, Iverson, Marbury, Drexler, Bernard King, Reggie Miller, etc.....but not Jalen.

    All of this season with Jalen is meant to get Rockets so frustrated with Green that they gladly
    accept a Jalen Green trade this off-season. Even take a bloated $51M contract of Jaylen
    Brown back in return.

    They the league favors Jalen Green and he becomes one of the best. Sets up years of: Rockets could
    have had MJ, Portland could've had MJ but they picked Bowie.

    If Houston hadn't given up on Jalen Green so early........they could've had this great talent.
    You'll see how it plays out. The NBA loves it's narratives.

    I think it's pretty obvious for all to see that the team knows what we know but they are doing all they can to maintain some value.

    If they bench him that value goes from bad to worse.

    Or was it the 40 year old gold digger who got duped? That stream of $$$ is gone after next season when he either signs for the vet min or plays in China or Siberia.

    Jalen Green goes to the line as much as Reggie Miller.

    Thats fine but he wants to be a starter despite not playing like one and youre forgetting we have other prospects and he's in the way. So if he wants to stay he needs to accept coming off the bench until he plays better.

    What about MJ and Iverson?

    They went near 11 times a game.


    Put Jalen in a 5-out scheme (most efficient high scoring teams this year) and he will shine.

    Who says he wants to stay?

    My guess is Emi wants to get into the playoffs and wanted to sit Jalen Green, but Jalen said he would sit out the rest
    of the games. That would kill his trade value for a Jaylen Brown trade this summer.

    Unfortunately, Jalen doesn't have his heart into it. It's a tightrope. If he plays well....then Houston wants to keep him.
    How many points per game was he last year? 21......22 points per game. Now he's bad.

    Refs will send him to the FT line often next year. And just like Harden get those points per minute efficiency.
    Plus he will get stronger. Many suspect Jordan was taking steroids and now an MMA fighter is saying LeBron buys
    his PEDs from his same dealer.

    Emi had to eat his ego and record of making the playoffs.

    But the league gets what the league wants. And the league wants Jalen Green out of Houston.

    We should thank jg to make clear what kind of a player he is. In case some haven’t noticed, including me. Missing shots is much easier to fix than this kind of attitude.

    What a beautiful Friday down under. I might enjoy watching a Rockets game this season now.

    U know what else would help? Having a center that can make shots outside of 2ft to open driving lanes for our guards

    Jalen is shooting 32.5% on jump shots this year, Sengun is at 41.6% on jump shots this year

    Hmm: What would happen if Jalen missed 7-8 games with an injury?

    This reminds me of when I followed OKC very closely back in the day. Jeff Green was a pet project of Scott "Bonehead" Brooks and was the major hindrance for Harden and Ibaka developing. When he was traded for Kendricks Perkins, both guys went next level and so did the team (even with Perkins injured and not playing!).

    After 4-5 games, Harden and Ibaka emerged as better players than Jeff Green. It was amazing.
