    I am just watch it in fast motion just stay in denial that it was a block lol. It looked vicious as first and the way that the poor dude landed on the court afterwards lol.

    And this is why I feel NBA teams will copy
    the Raptors and Cavs with multiple thin bigs.

    They would have greater seeding if Sexton, Rubio
    and Jarrett Allen stayed healthy and if the Raps
    had a better back. court.

    More teams will follow their lead with zone D
    and switch everything by using mobile tall
    tooth picks.

    My iPad is out of service right now so I'm
    commenting by way of phone. Everything
    is bunched together.

    But I once knew a man from from Nantucket,

    Who use to carry a bucket

    And in this bucket, was a mouse, a rabbit, and a feather.

    You know the rest

    Whenever he says something big he somehow played worse or did not dunk well enough.

    After the draft, before the dunk contest, now after proclamation him being a bucket.

    Whenever he shuts up and works on his game, fireworks happen.

    Shut up and... work out.

    lol yeah, it looks like you’re forcing to press enter key when the words hit the right border of your phone display. How about letting the words falls down by itself and you press enter for maybe a new sentence or paragraph? Does it work?

    Green better have this game tape on repeat this off-season - these are the looks teams will give him the rest of his career. You got the nbas attention dropping 30 a game - no what are you going to do about young buck?

    Hasn't he now has 2 games since saying that? 1 where he scored 30 plus and last night ? I think this is more of him having a bad game / a really good defensive team game planning against him.

    He will need to learn how to attack that type of defense next year. Prob through getting his teammates good looks

    That was imminent, he was not going to shoot 50-60% from 3 forever.

    They would have won the Totonto game had he scored 3-5 more points.

    For next season then.

    Haha I wish I could just undo screen lock.

    This is why we have kids, to help us with new
    tech and new math. I just don't want to
    wake up mine.

    That's where Chet or Jabari or Ivey or Banchero will help next season. Attention on Jalen helped
    Porter. and Josh Christopher get going.

    When they double or triple teamed Harden he only
    had a decrepit CP3

    This. We are now a 3 headed monster in the front court. KPJ, Green, Jaygup all should start unless we draft Ivey. We don’t need a pure point guard, we just need a hierarchy of Jalen, KPJ, Jaygup. If one is having a bad game or is being schemed out of the offense the other two take up the slack. On defense JG takes the PG and KPJ and Jaygup can matchup any way that makes sense. Fix the defense with a good defensive PF and we are set up extremely well for the future.

    Yeah I think Jalen got a finger or two on the ball
    Which created a spin and helped dislodged the
    ball from Wannabe.

    After that almost dunk over that 7 footer
    near game 4 (that the refs didn't call a foul),
    where Jalen's elbow was near the middle
    of the box on the back board; I've felt if Green
    keeps lifting weights....he will be forehead
    above the rim (eye level).

    That block attempt last night was crazy....
    Green may already be peaking over the rim.

    Clutch said it best, "What in the World?"
    For a height of 6'3", Jalen sure can sky

    Yes, xaos, everything you said would happen pretty much did.

    I'm gonna keep an eye on you. You got talent.

    Did someone bring a ladder onto the court and then edit it out later. My goodness Jalen has
    some hops.

    If you watch it expanded on Twitter, it's clearer. You can easily see the rim actually deflect down when the ball hits it. That's part of the reason why his landing was so jarring. lol. If Jalen had timed that leap and swat a bit better, he would've wrecked that shot, but just watching his jump and almost dunking his hair into the rim is pretty impressive. The last time I was that impressed by a leap was when Steve Francis jumped up to block a Gary Payton shot and reached up into the square on the backboard, I think. There may be two instances of his jumps against the Sonics that left me wondering what he had in his legs.

    I think.we can give KPJ a little more credit than that.

    He torched some pretty damn good defenders last night. Length and physical play does not faze him.
