    Perfect reply. We already seen what Jalen Green is for a long ass time. This first playoff game is nothing new. I am not even mad that Jalen Green had the performance he did, that was expected. What I am upset by is people expecting something different.

    No one is surprised. I just want to see it and not give this GM and staff another reason to give him another year to see if he "figures it out". Just like Jalen has consistently shown us who he is....so too has Rafael Stone with Kevin Porter Jr and now Jalen Green.

    This makes way more sense than playing Reed and Cam.

    no team plays guys who have been fringe role players. Absolutely none. Only name here i agree with thats worth some minutes is Tate only in certain specific situations.

    Who cares what other teams are doing. If your guys don't have it on a night try something else. Some points is better than none.

    Aaron seems capable of scoring, so I do think he deserves some minutes if Green and FVV aren’t scoring. Doesn’t have to take many of either of their minutes to have an impact.

    I trust Holiday to shoot well from 3s. Do not hesitate, let it rip.

    This never happens for a reason as coaches shorten their rotation going with the most dependable and consistent players.
    because games are too important to play inexperienced players who have not shown they can be relied on. Both Reed and Cam have not been good on the defensive end. Both have had issues offensively. It simply is unwise and too risky to play them. If you don’t agree these players aren’t good great for you. You ain’t convincing me otherwise.

    Why’s everyone rooting for Holliday now? Didn’t people say he sucked and worse than Reed Sheppard? Lol In all seriousness I hope he plays as well. Get a 9 man rotation in. Fresh legs, defense, and threes.

    That doesn’t make sense bro. Holliday and Tate yes. The other 3 don’t play defense nor can they be trusted offensively.

    ironic to me people are clamoring for Holliday when they wanted to throw him away thru most of the season. Maybe those haters aren’t on this thread. Or are they…

    This series is a war and it is Udoka’s job to win enough battles to win the war. If playing Holiday helps the Rockets win, he should play.

    Having said that - Jalen Green and FV need to play better.

    Yep, it’s going to be on the backcourt. They have the ball in their hands most of the time. If they don’t play well this series is over. Plain and simple.

    I think jabari should start the game and we bring the terror twins off the bench with Aaron Holiday. We could have used his shooting badly last game. He needs to play in this series for us to have a chance.

    Shoot I might even let Cam get a go.

    The lack of shooting from Amen hurts us in this series.

    Jalen and FVV aint helping either.

    Real life is upsetting, this is nothing.

    The game is more than 2 players. Everyone has to play well and fire on all cylinders
