    You made me go look that up, cause I didn't believe it .... it's 100/258 over the last 30 for .387.

    Close enough for me.

    Looking over the game logs, it makes sense, he hasn't had many stinkers (shooting wise) over that span.

    Call it progress .....

    He's also averaging that while shooting almost 9 3pa per game over that stretch. That is very difficult. This season, only five players are averaging 38% or better on 8+ 3pa per game: Curry, Beasley, Mitchell, Herro, and Ant. Even if you lower the percentage to 37%, only ten guys are averaging that on 8+ 3pa per game. Far too often, people look just at the raw percentage without factoring in volume. That is really what impacts spacing - percentage AND volume.

    Best player in the league so obviously best on the roster. Don’t ask stupid questions.

    Haha since the foster game there is very little in basketball that can trigger me, maybe if jokic gets robbed again. I don’t care enough to react much these days the way i did pre foster.

    Didn’t realize making fun of a troll means you are triggered, my bad.

    Well now you learned. Don't repeat the same mistake if you don't want to be seen as someone who actively roots against the success of one of the players on the roster.

    I don't think this guy cares about the trolling of a troll. I think he just hates Jalen Green.

    Call me crazy but maybe I got post history and partner recognition on my side.

    Act like you don't care about your perception then.

    Then act like those are the only players you dislike and not Jalen Green also.

    Green has been trending positive all season. Anyone that doesn't see that is just a hater, and we got plenty of those idiots on our forum that just take joy in negativity towards our players.

    Can we end the whole turnover narrative with JG? Yes he has a few bad games like every player -

    Last I checked a day or 2 ago ( he was 30th at 2.5) before FVV went out he was at 2.3

    Guards who average more TOs a game than JG IMG_4274.png

    Researchers still say there is no correlation between jumping excessively too high on a three and bricking them.
    Green shooting 40% from three since being forced to reduce his lift by his legs.
    Feb is almost over. That's 2 months

    Green is just more stable on his shooting motion, no matter where he’s at. Even if it’s a contorting difficult layup, he has a plan in his body is under control.

    mid range, three point shot, etc.. He’s not jumping nearly as high and it’s just straight up and down and most of the time it looks pretty smooth. I know the percentages don’t bear it out, but I even think he’s been effective at the mid range..
