    25 pts on 21 shots, 6 rebounds, 5 ast and the highest +/- on the team. You don't know what the hell you are talking about.

    Jalen will just never be "the guy". After 4 years, he's still too weak physically, his handles are still all over the place and his shot selection is as stupid as ever. He can't play within an offense. Against the Grizzlies, much of the time the offense flowed very well when he was off the court.

    If he isn't shooting and scoring, he's dead weight on the court.

    Jalen Green will never be a starting SG on a championship level team. His best role is as 6th man. Of course, he won't admit that himself for several years after the Rockets trade him.

    Please don't speak to me the way you speak your mother or wife or the other people in your life deserving of degradation.

    You may be used to interacting with the trash in your immediate life in such a manner, but don't bring it here.

    He's 22. Y'all are so friggin' weird. He literally had the highest +/-. I don't know why y'all need scapegoats, but it's not Jalen this game.

    You don't really get it all: It isn't just this one game.

    Choked down the stretch, missed FT, turnover - tried to do too much, but so did FVV too.

    So Alperen Sengun was missing.

    Grizzlies Ja Morant was missing.

    Fred VanVleet was awful tonight. Should've done better.

    Stop looking at stats and watch the games. Jalen always underperforms when you need him the most in clutch time. It's such an obvious pattern. How do people not see it after 4 years?

    You really don't get it, either - he's 22 and he's the leading scorer on a top 3 team in the NBA. I swear, so many on this board have such little perspective when it comes to judging prospects.

    Maybe don't trash our players if you don't want to be treated like trash.

    You basically are saying we should get rid of Jalen because he's not a superstar. I'd take his statline every single night. Maybe criticize him after he has a bad game, he was the best player tonight on the team, makes you sound like a hater.

    I swear this board is nuts. Jalen was our leading scorer and +10, but yeah, he's the reason we lost. Not our highest paid player who had 13 points on 12 shots with a -11 and a boneheaded 3 with too much time left.

    Yeah you flat out did not watch the game. And if you did, you flat out don’t understand what you are watching. Probably should go dig a hole or something to past the time better.
