    Nah brooks hit a lot of big shots for us. He wa smoke our mad max. Someday the shots were advised but he took them anyway. DFS doesn’t do any of the stuff that Dillon does in offenses DFS knows his role and sticks to it. We might actually benefit for that. Sometimes our guys try to do to much beyond their limits. It was ok with Brooks

    Bro no one threw Jalen under the bus… Jalen wore all black and climbed under the back wheels of the bus all by himself.

    Laughable - was one of the 2 main reasons were number 2 team in the West… first playoff experience vs a vet team (where his coach didn’t install any offensive system or adjustments) and shouldered all the blame for GS winning -yes he got thrown under a bus

    Sit this one out

    Not having Jalen is why the Rockets/Lakers Christmas Day game was not competitive. Unlike KD's 14 FGAs, Jalen would have taken 30 shots to get 25 points. It would have gone down to the wire instead of being a 23-point blowout.

    No - Jalen Green, wasn’t good enough to run an offense through and that is why the Rockets couldn’t get past GS.

    Jalen Green got lots of opportunities, but when the engine you are running your offense around is getting you 21 points on 18 shots and shooting 42/32 from the floor - you are limited. That doesn’t even get into his inability to get to the line or create for other people.

    Jalen Green can likely be a good to very good player as a #3 option on a team if he can improve his three point shot - but he has ZERO game if he isn’t hot from 3 at this point.

    we weren’t running the offense through JG we were running it through Alpi - which is 90s basketball, Alpi wasn’t good to enough to beat the warriors 4 on 3 and neither was Amen - just like this season where we are among the lowest in 3pt attempts GS doubled us up each game of the series because they knew they couldn’t beat us if we got our 3pt shooters going … when did that tend to happen… when JG had room to operate ( not in the clogged double big offense + Amen Ime was set on going with

    Thanks for realizing mid-post that no one wants to read this drivel.

    Did we forget Jalen Green with three games with 8 pts against the Suns? Draymond got into his head in the series. NBA is mental, ask Mad Max (Vernon Maxwell). Still love Jalen but more in love with Durant. A little less love because Dillon Brooks is an unique player, he makes the NBA fun.

    Jalen won’t work on teams that value winning because he’s a mediocre basketball player. His ceiling is Jamal Crawford, a good sixth man that’s too inconsistent to start.

    The best part about this thread is making it clear who the remaining JOFs are so we can ignore their criticism of the rest of the team's roster as purely biased. Thanks JOFs!
