    Wall's ass fits nicely on the bench where it belongs.

    If I were Stone / Silas .... I'd tell Wall to kick rocks and collect checks.

    Love watching him play but I don't think this is the right time to bring him back

    It seems too early after a hamstring injury

    I don't want him to get injured again just because he came back too soon

    He's young. He has all the time in the world to make a name for himself in the league

    The team is winning now, it's not like we're desperate for him to return

    We need to remember the TEAM’S GOALS and do ALL things accordingly. Development = slowly with understanding.

    No point in rushing him back. He's doing plenty watching. Needs to bulk up as well. Just come back healthy. After the Magic/Pels they will probably lose 5 or 6 in a row. Just come back after that.

    It is funny seeing the team win without Wood and KPJ as well. That's enough though. We need Chet/Banchero/Smith.

    Hamstrings are tricky. Rehab and strengthening is key. In my expert orthopedic opinion this type of injury only is fully healed when... Eric Gordon is traded. :)

    I mean... Jalen Green has the second worst on-off +/- in the NBA after Campazzo... we're winning by 8.7 pts per 100 possessions with him off the floor and losing by 30+ when he's on.
    You can LYAO all you want, but thats the facs

    His scoring efficiency has been going up the past 4 games or so. So there is a marked improvement.

    I doubt the reason the Rockets lost the last 5 games Green was playing was because of Green. Don't think someone who scores above 60% ts for their team would be the reason their team is losing.

    I mean, common sense says Green will be better.

    When you've been that bad, the only way is up.

    Super excited to see JG with a bit more space out there. Really seemed like he was starting to put things together the last 5 or 6 games. He will be MUCH harder to double team with Garrison and Armoni getting regular burn.

    Better jump on the bandwagon before it is too late. We won't forget...

    Have you watched him play defense? It's atrocious. He makes James Harden's defense look like Michael Jordan. A lot of his defensive issues are cuz he is just soo skinny. Hoping as he gets stronger everything is better. Not saying he's a bust and I wanted him over Mobley, but offense is only one side of the ball.

    Personally I hope he plays and continues to get better and makes us lose. This four game win streak is absolutely frustrating. Wtf are we doing.. we lost 15 straight games and now they want to win?? I want Chet or Paolo or Jabari.

    This isn't a championship team right now, there is no point in winning.

    I e watched him play defense. He is no worse than 2016 James Harden. Green can get overpowered but at the very least he moves his feet rather than doing that stationary pseudo zone bs that Harden used to do all the time dieing parts of his career.

    James Harden was strong and always a great post defender. He could finish defensive plays with rebounds. Jalen whenever he gets switched onto big it seems like easy second chances points. He can't box out and cant get that rebound. He still tried to use his athleticism to just jump over people and it doesn't work in the NBA.
