actually, the people who keep on pushing Jalen to be the numero on this team, don't care about this team's success
so what if fans want to criticize the starting SG getting paid near max who keeps on shooting 10 threes a game desptte making just 30% of them learn the internet please
Numero Cinco these days. What a dreadful start to the season. I wonder how his shooting % ranks to the other 29 starting SGs. The numbers are right in line with his career percentages, and March is looking like 1 month out of a season, as we repeated ad nauseam. Come on JG.
They list him with a viral illness but push him to start and play? Lelz, good idea really. Showcasing a sick player?
I don’t think that’s the problem there. The big issue is that this team was held together by Mike Conley, who is 100 years old. They fall apart without Conley. There is a lesson here: as good as we look now, if we lose Fred we’ll sink, just like Minny. I hope we can keep him long term, he’s much younger than Conley. And this is where the Green contract can cause tremendous damage: if we lose Fred (or Tari) because of financial constraints imposed by Green’s albatross deal, the whole progress will collapse. I’ll be mad as hell.
People who care about this team and want it to do well are the ones who want his ass OFF our team. Anyone who does not are the stans who don’t care about the team.
He took 5 shots from 3 and played 23mins. We won. We secured an in season tournament playoff spot. We have the 4th best record, 3rd in the west and a great point differential. We are barely over the cap with the extensions. By design. Who hurt you?
I think the people who care about this team, are ecstatic and happy about our record regardless of "player" play.
The thread title is a flashing neon sign. It’s an absurd premise and people who disagreed were told they just didn’t understand basketball. I’m happy we’re winning.
I don't like this idea that players should be immune from criticism just because we're winning. There are players who are very clearly underperforming and damaging the team. Every time they step on the court it hurts our chances of winning. This "well we won the game!" or "look how good our record is" stuff is nonsense. It doesn't mean we aren't allowed to talk about players who are playing badly.
It was a neon sign/reminder that he was taken 2nd overall and Jalen and KPJ were the poster boys of Rafael's initial rebuild..... That is the memory!
why do you care so much about fans who post facts about jalen being numero uno? https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional?CF=FGA*GE*16&dir=D&sort=FG_PCT
