    Considering Jalen plays way better after allstar break this team could be scary if we hang on for a few more weeks

    I also stated facts from this very game. 50%FG, 40% 3PT, and 83% FT. And you’re complaining about how he missed too many shots. So did you want him to be 100% shooting today? Like dude was the best shooter out there but he’s the one you’re harping on about missing too many shots lol.

    He shot better than Sengun. It’s just kinda weird to complain about the shooting of one of our most efficient players tonight.

    You're stating facts as if I said he didn't do those things, the comprehension is what you seem to be having trouble with.

    Did I complain or was I making a joke about how often he misses wide open shots his teammates get him? It's on you if you think 'The Assist Killer' isn't a joke. Complaining is what I do about Jalen Green (hint: Jalen Green has never been given a lighthearted nickname). There's a slight difference, again this harks back to your comprehension skills lacking.

    It's ironic though, because I did have a complaint about Jabari - it was literally one of the two things I mentioned. But you went in the direction of the one that wasn't a complaint. You know who else won't be happy with the same complaint and won't simply let it slide because it was a win? The coach.

    Sheesh.

    :D

    Yea sure dude, you’re just joking about Jabari missing an absurd amount of shots. My silly comprehension lacking, my apologies oh wise one for not being up to your standards lol.

    Assist killer, kinda of a crappy joke at this point. At the beginning of the year it was true though so would be more funny. So I guess it’s a great joke, just a few months late on the delivery. Maybe your nickname should be inaccurate sniper? :D


    Oh … as far as the other thing you said about Bari, I didn’t say anything about it because I didn’t see anything wrong with you saying it. He’s made some bad passes and picked up his dribble early a few times followed by almost turnovers. I agree and hence didn’t bring it up as something I disagreed with (like your other very funny joke comment which I completely misunderstood apparently ;)

    It's so very easy to prove what I said.

    Jalen misses a bunch of shots = I complain about how terrible he is for this team.

    Jabari misses a lot of wide open shots = I call him the Assist Killer.

    Again, it says everything about your non-existent comprehension skills.

    I like how immediately after the obvious was so blatantly pointed out to you, you no longer want to talk basketball but come up with a huge swing and a miss hahaha. Oh man. Truly embarrassing.

    Edit: Just to hammer home your stupidity, your joke makes zero sense because by definition if one was inaccurate, they would not be a 'sniper'. And if one was a sniper, they would not be inaccurate. How many Ls are you trying to rack up at this point?

    Coming up with the nickname “Assist Killer” after the player has become the most efficient shooter on the team is precisely on brand. Well done - we appreciate the consistency you bring to the board!

    Pathetic ending and Rockets should not feel good about that at all. I don’t care what group was out there. Instead of pushing this to go for 40-50 point win, they allowed the Hornets back in already in the 2nd half with lazy play. Also not enamored with Cam even if he hit some threes and got a steal. His main instinct is still just drive into whoever’s there because my athleticism will save me. Once he realizes when he can and cannot do that, he will be above Wafer and should get steady minutes.

    Adams finally seemed like his former self a bit. FVV finally showed that 1 in 5 games he can have, Jabari had a solid game except for his passing, Sengun was solid, Amen was the MVP. Reed should not play in the NBA, G-League for him. Holiday with some dumb selfish play at the end too, good he got tossed.

    2nd place I will take gladly with this group and given the expectations.
