    Part of it too is because every Jalen 30 game gave us hope that "this might be it, he turned the corner!" but everytime he fooled us.

    Nah, I’ll pass lol. I’ve seen enough of that ugly ass shot with the elbows sticking out and shooting on the way down almost. And getting hot once every 6 games or so otherwise ending up with more shots taken then actual points.

    When Jalen shoots you’re excited and almost surprised when he makes it lol. When KD shoots you’re surprised if he misses.

    The last 4 games, Rockets average at least 30 FTs a game that is Winning basketball. Raptors will win 90% of the game if the Rockets didn't shoot 34 FTs and have 52 Rebounds. Raptors shot over 50% and a mind-boggling 50% from 3s. If Raptors shot their normal average this would of been a 50 point blowout. This is how good the Rockets are. So if we don't get over 25 FTs a game this season, Warriors-loving-Refs rigging the game.

    LOL but Alpi, Amen, Jabari didn't

    How is being defensed single coverage by either Steph Podz or Hield a "bad matchup"

    Stone and Ime and 95% of the board saw right through the front running unlike you and the other Nalens

    TRUE!!! when jalen had a bad game, i was so disappointed. All the good will he accumulated went all the way down to -10. would have to build it up and then start all over again.. Again i would have waited. I think Ime could have cultivated him into player if only he got to him as a rookie (or been more patient) Silas years were at least a 10 year time suck.

    Offensively, Jalen flatlined during his two years playing for Ime. There was absolutely no reason to be more patient and expect anything different, especially when KD became available. The playoff failure changed his status from definitely need to trade to MUST TRADE!

    KD and Jabari carried us to the victory. Sengun and Tari played their part. Another welcome win.

    Yeah we definitely need to shore up the D. Maybe we are experimenting right now with the zone before going back to on man defense.

    Double teaming ‘Literally Scola’ to leave top ten shooter ever open. What a time to be alive!

    So, not many knee aches or heart palpitations then?

    But then again, I can understand why it physically shocked your body, since they were so much of a shock to the system.

    Even in his passing, Jalen still making Jalen clowns show their stupidity.

    Yeah... There is a direct correlation with extreme stupidity and low IQ, and being a Jalen fan.

    It's proven for four years straight now.

    Somehow for some reason it's still being proven even when the clown is gone.

    A game-closing KD/Alpi two-man offense is an absolute necessity. They have 78 more games to work the kinks out.

    Ugly offense that is ruthlessly efficient. Only player to shoot less than 50% from the field? "The best shooter on the team."

    Jabari gonna hammer one of those statue of liberty dunks eventually. Keep going after it man!
