    Like I said last yr, Alpi has to take the open 3pt shot. Thats the only way its going to make the game easier for him, Jalen and everybody else.

    Like MDA use to say, the more 3pt shots you take, the more you make. I hate it when he PUMP FAKES at the 3pt line and drive in. If open, take it.

    Jalen's spurt during Sengun's absence is no coincidence. Jalen loves the open floor, that's who he is. Some how Ime has to figure out a perfect balance.

    If I remember correctly Green did not win GLeague MVP but Alpe did win Turkish MVP.

    Winning the Turkish MVP is a huge accomplishment! I remember when what's his name won it too, uh, uh, uh....what's that award called again?

    Thunder gave a **** and Jalen went off against them. I don't know why this fanbase is so divided. Why can't we just root for our players? No need to put one down to prop the other one up.

    I think there's a difference between rooting for our players and buying into delusion.

    3 years into his career, Jalen Green has been a draft bust....and 8 fluke hot shooting games doesn't change that.

    Lol where does this narrative that teams don't give a **** post ASB come from?

    If anything, it's mostly April and the last 5 or so games teams start resting when they are content with their current seeding.

    The irony is the month of March had the lowest scoring across the league for the season.

    In addition, the teams the Rockets played against during that stretch were the garbage teams of the league. They did not present much defense and were playing for the lottery.

    He was a 90/50/40 guy during the peak of hand check bully defense. He would tear up the league with today's rules and the number of 3's everyone shoots.

    Wait I got you some footage of his fans right here. That’s more important than watching him hit some threes!
