    Amen is great at pushing the ball off rebounds - JG and Holiday and sometimes Tate can handle bringing the ball up under pressure

    It’s why haven’t Amen at 3pt line with Brunson was stupid - Amen is better vs bigs when driving

    Ime runs to Tate and Brooks for defense and it hurts cause it sits Cam 99% time even when Brooks is having a bad game

    Yeah, I think Jalen is banged up too but Ime didn't have a choice but to play him in the 4th

    Right, just like the facts that Reed is averaging

    41%TS, 40%EFG, -8 on off, -.01 vorp, -2.7 bpm, .024 ws/48

    On the season.

    And that Jalens a bum most nights

    Jalen isn’t the first option on the team and the numbers besides assists are that close lol

    Cade is even better than Jalen on scoring. Nothing left for Jalen.

    His shooting is still worse than CC.

    3rd option or 4th option should have better shooting because tough defense is not on you!

    this loss is on Ime. He has to react to who is playing well and who is not. Cam and Amen were carrying this team and hands all over to Jalen to play Iso the entire second half. It just makes no sense at all. Even those terrible announcers were crowning Amen as the next coming, so Ime sticks him in the corner and leaves Cam on the bench. I'm now starting to think, he'll send Amen back to the bench when Jabari gets back. He is a great defensive coach and motivator, but he sucks horribly at coaching offenses and rotations.

    I agree, watching this team lose to the Nets twice considering the season they are having. Would be like sticking pins in my eyes.

    Jalen has higher TS% so not sure what drugs you are on RN.

    Cade is playing great but he is also playing the PG position too. So, his assist should be higher.

    But it's funny, people weren't saying he was playing better when the Rockets beat them in Detriot earlier this yr

    Not really since Cade has 55% TS and Jalen has 55.6% TS.

    I mean dont let reality get in the way of your delusion.

    Dont say statements like X is scoring better than Y when the facts prove otherwise.

    Bruh you are the one who said Cade is scoring better than Green. If you think thats not s great gap why did you even say Cade is better at scoring?

    The reality is they are scoring at the same rate. Cade is the no 1 option but Jalen is no 2 option and playing in the better conference and against better opponents. Again it evens out.

    Cade is much better playmaker but Jalen is tougher/healthier and better defender.

    I'm not that impressed with Jalen this year but Cade also isnt blowing my socks off. This is literally perception > reality thats why stats are important.
