    So, so true. We were just lucky that big French guy had to sit out the game because he just rains three and demands a double team once he crosses half court. He really opens things up for Ant and never clogs the paint. After all, he's working on another year with a .000 three point shooting percentage.

    Edwards is definitely an amazing talent, but his cockiness is pretty hilarious. Doing the gun-cocking, hot-hand, palm-stare whatever-that-was after he hit a three, while shooting 4-14, was Westbrook-level irrational exuberance.

    If Jalen merged the best of his physical gifts and talent with Cam's he would be better than Ant. . . . but he can't, so he's not.

    Cam's height - 6'7"
    Jalens speed
    Cam's strength
    Jalens first step
    Cams shooting ability


    Yeah, that would be better than Ant.

    They’re only really comparable off the court, where both refuse to wrap their tool when with old worn out jersey chasers.

    Ant is a better shooter, finisher, playmaker, and defender. They ran out of bigs last night so Ant was guarding our all star center in the 4th.

    Both of OP's two premises are false.

    3pt shooting. Edwards's career 3p% is .365, this season is .411. Green's career 3p% is .340, this season .352.
    Injury prone. Edwards missed 18 games in the last 3.5 seasons. Green missed 20 games.

    Amazing talent and mouth and court gesturing (jester? Uh, no). But #1? Amazing talent.

    I suspect at some stage he’ll decide the NONONOrth isn’t hot enough for his Amazing Brand…

    Even with all that, you still must know the game and understand the geometry of the court.

    Yes I watched it. Ant dominate Jalen then the rockets tripled team him all night. Jalen got the luxury of playing of sengun. Imagine Ant on one team. Unstoppable,

    OK now I know you are just a homer. There is no logical explanation that you would ever take Jalen over Ant. I regret debating you before now that I know you will die on the Jalen Green hill no matter the cost.

    You can have one player not shooting 3's.
    Those guys usually set screens.....does Rudy set screens?
    They usually roll to basket.......does Rudy roll to basket?
    They usually play that "Dunker Spot?".......does Rudy play that Dunker Spot?

    You don't want to talk about those 4 guys they can put around Rudy that hit close
    to 38%. Which spreads the floor and opens lanes for a Conley/Ant to get
    red carpet treatment to the rim.

    Remind me who the 4 guys are on the Rockets team that that spread the floor?
    I told you that only Two are shooting 36% or above.

    But nevermind the facts, keep imagining illusions.

    Please refrain from making a new thread about Keyonte George being infinitely better than Jalen Green because of this game.

    More like Dame's shooting if not Curry's....Cam's ability is not scary at all.

    There's no shame in being second to ANT.

    He can but need to clean up his handles, go left with fluidity, and reduce bonehead plays and turnovers. Also hustle for your missed shots and don't allow someone to steal the ball from you and then not hustle back (seems to happen at least once a game).
