Jalen Green Dunking and Yelling at Cunningham, Plus the Tech!

he bolted straight for the locker room soon as the game ended, instead of going to dap up cunningham. i actually like that. but mainly because i dislike cade’s b****face and b**** attitude

 

Whoop-de-doo. We lost again, that's what matters.

Banchero or bust.

 

It's what worries me about this team. The most important thing in this sport (as in any other) is attitude, and KPJ still does not show the attitude to be a true PG. Neither attitude nor predisposition.
It is not enough to say that you want to be something, you need to back up your words with attitude and actions.
I'm not attacking KPJ, he has great potential, I just don't see him showing the right attitude to play as a team creator.

 

The taunt and stare down was pretty cringe. It’s probably the most immature thing I’ve seen from Green. But great players tend to use even the most trivial things as fuel. Green takes Cunningham as his rival and you could see that in his intensity and aggressiveness early in the game.

So yeah it was stupid, but this kid wants the challenge. He’s going to be really good when he puts it all together.

 

Best moment tonight. It takes real skill to pull off an uncontested dunk and amazing BBIQ to then give up a tech by then going the over the top taunting route.

 

I hate these type of responses lol

 

It was childish, but **** it, I'd rather have a guy who feels himself enough to act that way than a chill guy who shows no emotion. Let him keep the fire, once he's a bit bigger that's what'll enable him to do what Westbrook does in the paint, but taller.

 

Best play of the game by far. We need more players with that fire in them.

Nothin immature about this it’s basketball.

We should’ve kept our feet on the gas after this.

For a competent team it would’ve been a momentum shifter.

 

Y’all think LaVine is childish too or it’s just 19 year old Jalen Green?

 

cade just smiled at the end of the game and calmly said," SCOREBOARD"

 

Easy to act this way if your team is properly coached.

lets be real here, this game was
Pistons>Rockets and not Cade>Jalen

but i guess the winner has the last laugh. It’s fine.

 

lol at properly coached...

if im not mistaken both teams came into tonights game with exactly 1 win( plus the rockets were at home)

 

Dwyane Casey might not be the best coach around but atleast he has managed to win more than 17 games in a season. With a Toronto team that wasn’t exactly dripping of talent.

 

Pistons fans think Casey is horrible and clueless as coach

Pistons are the one team that has worse shooting, spacing, and a worse starting PG than the Rockets

both Cade and Green are in bad situations, but Cade is just more mature and poised…he has good leadership qualities

 

While he played better overall than Jalen Green, he was pretty inefficient himself. The only thing that swung things in his direction was that he's a 2 way player and Jalen is just a chucker and nothing else.

Neither should be all that happy about their performance tonight even though the raw numbers will impress the casuals.

 

I honestly don't care about the taunting too much or whatever Cade said afterward.

I don't think it was that immature either even if it was for the cameras, just doesn't matter. Didn't Jordan literally invent a rivalry with some random player? Jordan took EVERYTHING personally. Kobe was the same way.

Not saying Green are those guys but he clearly has the mentality that he's going to invent a rivalry to pump himself up more. That's fine.

Cade is just the opposite where he's not going to get too involved in things, that's fine too. I think there's pros and cons to both kind of personalities.

 

If only there was a guy on the team that could do that. Maybe an individual on payroll specifically hired to manage these individuals. Someone that coaches them if you will and puts them in position to succeed and learn. Not sure if such a title exists but it'd be damn nice to have someone like that.

 

Weak ass tech. I wish there was a franchise type pg in this draft because KPJ seems like he would be a nice scorer off the bench. Definitely not a pg.

 

4th quarter and they were winning by double digits.

I don't mind Jalen's antics, in fact I love the vendetta he has against Cade.
But dude needs to chill out celebrating plays during meaningless parts of games.
It's exhausting and embarrassing.
