I will never forgive Jalen for ruining my birthday and our wedding anniversary with this performance.
He showed he was Numero Uno for 1 out of 7 Games. Congrats Numero Zero. Next time just take the Mobley guy.
I don't think it's a surprise that Jalen shrinks. He doesn't understand basketball at a higher level. When his athleticism and hot shooting stops working against a good defensive set, he literally doesn't know what to do with himself. He's passive because he doesn't have the confidence to read the defense and make decisions under pressure.
Bum ass Shutting down my IG, gotta lock in. Leave mah 40 year old gold digger wife outta it! And all you bum asses who keep & kept defending. “I like his defense!” “Did you see 3 assists!?” “Solid 4 rebounds! He was really hitting the glass.” WE DRAFTED A 25 PPG SCORER OR SO WE THOUGHT. NOT ****ING TONY ALLEN. HIS JOB IS NOT THAT OF TARI EASON OR AMEN THOMPSON. HIS JOB IS TO ****ING SCORE. “If he can just give us 12 points, I’ll be happy.” Set the bar so ****ing low. Got more excuses than James Harden and can’t even sniff Harden’s jock.
Has there ever been a player since 2000 that we wanted to ship out more than Jalen? GET THIS BUM OUT!
Yeah guys, I’m extremely disappointed in how Jalen played this series. But I’m also a fan of the Rockets first and I sure as hell am willing to admit that I was wrong about him rising up to the occasion. I had kind of a bad feeling when I saw we would get matched up against the Warriors, but in game two I had a lot of hope. And it sucks that it was dashed, unfortunately. As long as he’s on the Rockets—and I suspect it’ll be for at least one more full season—I will root for him like my life depends on it, just like every other Rocket. But I know now, at least, what to expect. Sometimes, disappointment feels way worse than anger.
I think this season I saw him imitating FVV and passing it to Sengün at all times when he is undecided..... Then Sengün has an off game or an off quarter, and he is toast.
