12 shots for 15 points
3 turnovers from trying to do a crossover

I mean I guess you're right decent game for Jalen's standards.

 

Disrespect and betrayal all in the same package... Why are we incapable of giving Jalen 4-5 more years? Why is there such impatience?

 

SHHHHH!

He scored 15 points on 12 shots.

JALEN HAD A GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!

 

No, they went small to try and double-team Jalen with Dort and Shai... Everything they planned was to keep Jalen from finishing around the rim.

 

Load management now. garbage time...

 

Jalen needs to be a star first before he can have super star potential. Right now Sengun is ahead of Jalen since he is a star can turn into a superstar.

 

Superstar is written on Jalen's forehead..Idc what others say...

 

You trolled too hard and too fast brah.

Should have been a slower burn, at least pace it for the entirety of the season.

 

so jrue!

 

Could you tell me what my "troll" comment was?

 

Context does matter.
He made half his shots but keep btching when we won.

Like what did u want him to do go 12 for 12? Haters just like to btch even when we won, quite sad.

So weird that folks on here claiming to b Rockets fans and Instead of celebrating a win over a hot team we have folks btching about Jalen green who didn't even have a poor performance.

 

Brooks, Sengun, Tari, Holiday were truly committed to not letting us lose. I cannot wait for the day where Green and Jabari won't self-sabotage by dribbling into double teams, cut / come to the ball / set a screen to bring over another defender to cause problems for the ball handler and spacing (Jabari) and realize when to bring it down to dribble (Jabari). I really do not understand why Jalen Green is hell bent on doing that weird sideways dribble, contorting his body in weird ways and also bend over so low to dribble. The awareness for Green really needs to start kicking in as he gets caught by surprise by a help defender way too often. Also one swipe at the ball and Green loses it, his handles are subpar.

Glad Ime goes with whoever is playing well. I really did not trust Green with the ball in his hands at the end, so glad he was taken out, but did not like our strategy that just dribble out the clock with 2 left at all. It's like in football where a team is up and decides to just pass it around. Just attack the basket at least or pretend to, not just risk shot clock violations and getting it stolen by just standing around the halfcourt line and throw risky passes. Glad Holiday is also working out, Brooks keeps playing under control, Jabari goes hard for rebounds and Sengun can be relied on on both sides of the ball. Also not seeing Jock was a huge W.

 

Jalen didn't turn over the ball 10 times, I call that a win.

 

YA REALLY!!!! Fox is a great young player from the Houston area!

 

Damn Green haters are thriving...

 

Fox isn't that good in comparison to Jalen, believe it or not. Give Jalen the same ISOs as Kings give Fox...Jalen would drop 32 ppg with elite defense.

 

Green’s potential and intrinsic drive don’t SEEM to match. Yes, he is young BUT something one has or doesn’t. Coaching can help; ultimately it’s on the player. Just like his play it’s hard to tell because of lack of consistency.

 

You don't have to a negative Karen when Jalen just dropped 15 efficient burger... please support him.

 

You can't be serious if you undermine Jalen's superstar aura...That potential never ends until it ends...

 

What they do with Jalen is not the decision of anyone here. I can be as impatient as I want to be and you can prefer to give Jalen until he is 100. It doesn't matter.

He'll get what he gets and we'll just sit back and observe.
