    He had fresh legs, even he said he came to the game rested so I’m not surprised by the performance

    Jalen needs to build on this game. Keep attacking the rim, getting out in transition, and getting to the free throw line.

    lol sure, you’re not surprised he put up 41 because he played 10 fewer minutes last night. Y’all are ridiculous.

    Jalen sucks. He has an 11 PER on the year. Only trait is to score and doesn't do it well.

    Is what it is. Suggs, Giddey, Wagner, Mobley, etc. All better. Wagner way way way better. We'd be legit title contenders with him instead.

    What a great performance when we needed every bit of it. It's nice to see these games because you can see the vision of how the team is supposed to work. God damn he is so much fun to watch when his shot is falling.

    6 threes should be the max Jalen takes unless he’s truly on fire…his game works so much better when he’s putting constant pressure on the rim, especially against teams with weaker rim protectors! That was fun to watch

    This, only real difference today was the refs gave him Austin Reaves whistle. Normally they don't call it and it ends up in a brick.

    still wish he had a better handle. Lots of unforced turnovers today.

    also limit it to 8 dribbles. if he's still at one place with 8 dribbles, give up the rock dude.

    Great game by Jalen, and we really needed it tonight.

    This felt a bit like Jokic/Murray.

    When you see him cook defenders it’s usually with momentum on his side and when he makes quick decisions. I 100% agree that he needs to cut out those dribble dribble dribble plays

    Pretty good game from the worst contract in the league.

    Finally a spark from JG. He has to show more games like this.

    He’s the only one (on the roster) who can do that. [​IMG]

    Still a guard’s league.

    Jalen wasn't playing against a tired Rockets team. He was playing against a Philly team that had 3 days off.

    You still give him credit for the game, but still have and own your prior takes. These are still NBA players.

    Once jg sell his soul he will get the calls.

    But the team as a whole was sloppy tonight.

    4th 20+ point game this month, he scored nine fewer points than his last four games combined. Yeah, he had his 2nd efficient shooting night of the month. Trade him for LaVine and be done with it.
