    He was missing wide open ones brother. Nba players aren't always consistent but star players find a way to contribute. Jaden Mcdaniels has contributed more to the T wolves than Jalen in the warriors series. Also Chris Finch isn't close to the coach that Ime is. Playing a 40 year old mike conley more than 10 minutes should be a bannable offense.

    Doesn’t excuse your response from being deceptive and inaccurate. Edwards has struggled in 8.5 out of 12 quarters this series. That’s not a good trend.

    Never said Green did not have a bad series but it’s more complex than merely seeing a box score and making a judgement. The Rockets offense simply had issues with zone defenses and traps all year. The personnel and offensive sets have been the root cause of our issues. The Warriors played Edwards similar to Green for the most part and he has struggled for 8.5 out 12 quarters. That’s the whole point to my assessment. No NBA player can beat traps and the zone by himself. Its a team effort and this means not just on court decisions but style of play, personnel and half court sets ran.

    If yall been watching the Warriors cant trap Edwards as much since the sets they run are different. Edwards either plays with 4 out and Gobert waiting on the low block or 5 out with nas reid as center. This gives them a lot of one on one opportunities. The ball is in edwards hands a lot as i already said he usually gets about 38 touches a game compared to green’s 25-26 touches. When its in conley’s hands the run off ball screens for Edwards. At no point do they dump it down to gobert on the low or high post. The offense is ran thru the guards and their offense is spread out. Warriors still trap Edwards at times but can’t due to their sets. Grewn gets trapped every time off a high screen and roll or from 28 ft out. Because the offense runs thru sengun at the high mid and elbows he is always in these regions so his man simply comes over to trap Green.

    Minn made the adjustment coming out of halftime and Minn coach isn’t going to panic sit him and keep going to the post

    These folks have seen the YouTube clips and players and coaches all comment on the main issues beside JG shooting like crap when he did get the few shot attempts he got..:: but their mind is made up .. they rather trade him at 23 for someone who 28-30….and then bish or go ghost when he blows up on another team with experience

    He took the chance because he believes in his ability along with his coaches and teammates. Hes shown that he can get it going after a bad quarter or half.

    Jalen's coach doesnt believe that he'll find ways to contribute so he benches him. He also believes Sengun (who is really a number 2 at best) is a better option than Jalen. Fred doesnt believe he'll get it going because he tries to turn into Steve Nash. And lastly, Jalen doesnt believe in himself because when he got opportunities he either **** the bed or passed the ball.

    Everyone seems to understand what Jalen is (including himself) except a few fringe jalen stans.

    No but ultimately you were wrong and you had no point no matter what was happening when you posted it. You still have no point I bet you cried when you found out he play good. Its pathetic lol I dont even hate Jalen but people like you make me dislike him a little more. I would love for him to be traded just to get rid of you and your bullshit.

    Jalen Green has been given more chances than any player Ive ever seen. He has had the most minutes of anyone and since his second year has been either #1 or #2 in touches. He was a starter as soon as he got here. Both Amen and Sengun had to fight for that. The Rockets have poured love and training and time into him and it has amounted to nothing and all you do is blame them for it lol You have to be related. He is your son or cousin or something thats the only thing that makes your lying posts make sense.

    That is what some in here don't get, he was given maximum resources and maximum opportunities.

    Correction Edwards gets 40 touches per game in the playoffs compared to Green’s 21.

    All you said is conjecture. This means it isn’t substantiated with facts. And this assumes Green hasn’t done the same. In fact multiple games Green scored late to help us win despite not playing well the first half including an APR 6 game vs Warriors where he went 2-7 4 pts in 1st half to 7-12 and 17 pts in 2nd half.

    The fact that Warriors doubled and trapped Green almost every play in the playoffs should indicate how much they believe Green is the key to Rockets winning since the dribble drive, playmaking, and threes open up the game. I already explained that the wolves play different sets that allow Edwards who is their num 1 scorer to dribble drive.

    The offense revolving around Sengun is due to the coaches wanting to maximize his skillsets to initiate the offense from the mid and high post and PNR. They believe this is most efficient and stable way to getting everyone involved as has been documented in the media.

    Youre crying that an allstar who led his team to the WCFs last year gets more touches than a non allstar who has done or proved absolutely nothng outside the fact that he cant be consistent for more than one or two months out of a season. Jalen can get the ball any time he wants. problem is when he gets it he either didnt deliver or he gave it back because he was scared. there's no conspiracy he just sucks.

    You obviously don’t understand how front court touches are calculated nor do you understand offensive sets or players’ roles. A response based on a false premise cannot stand. As I said many times before you provide nothing on this site. Absolutely nothing. No intelligence, no knowledge, no analysis. Nothing.

    You wouldn’t even be on my roster for a trade. Your words mean nothing.

    I have made several points here which you and your ilk have not articulately disputed. Instead you and your ilk have offered nothing but false information, conjecture, and hate. @Joe Rocket is a known instigator, provocateur and idiot so I deal with him as such. Now I deal with you appropriately.

    it is obvious they do not care about facts. They do not care about attaining knowledge of the game. They do not care about critical analysis and formulating an assessment substantiated with knowledge, facts, and observation. Instead they make comments and responses based on judgement, bias, and ignorance.
