    ohh you got a good generic one? I mainly cared about texans games but the season ended before that site went down so it wasn't an issue, but i did use it for rockets games also

    JG didnt have the best game and also wasnt very smart but I am a fan because he always tries hard and is receptive to feedback.

    Dude just got clocked in the head but still came out to play.

    Haters are built on waiting on his bad greens .. I wonder how these guys would feel about steph curry before he was steph curry..they almost traded him over Ellis to bucks .it took curry 4 plus years and the college exp .no patience for these guys

    Pretty ugly game from Jale , but he did help come from behind to start the 2nd and establish the lead in the 3rd.

    Not pretty by any means and very sloppy, but a wins a win. so ehh...

    If Ime speaks so highly of Jalen's toughness, that is a big plus for me!

    Availability is really one of the best abilities, as is the fact that Jalen really doesn't seem to care about his stats all that much (or he wouldn't be chucking up all those end of quarter heaves).

    Playing through stuff probably contributes to his inconsistency at times, but as long as he's on the floor, the defenses will have to at least care about him, and that usually helps other players have better matchups too.

    For two and a half years, it seemed like Jalen was just on a treadmill--but starting from late February my opinion is that he has been trending upward steadily. Not on a crazy trajectory like Tmac in Orlando, but piece-by-piece improvements that will hopefully have him as a true All-star level player sooner rather than later.

    Comparing Jalen Green to the greatest shooter in the history of basketball is some world class crazy.

    Jalen is the most frustrating player I have ever had the luxury of supporting.

    If the man would just impose himself and his athletic ability each play.. he would be unstoppable.

    He wasn’t?

    He was 44-45% from 3 his first 4 years. 2nd in RoY in year 1 and then by his 4th season was getting MVP votes.

    Look comparing Green to Steph freaking Curry is a losing proposition but let's be clear Steph was in his age 24-25 season in his fourth year. He entered the NBA after three years of college ball.

    I dont care about the comparison. He is just flat out wrong about Curry’s first 4 years. He was awesome the only question early on was health.

    I know.... I'm just saying he entered the league after three years of college.
