Not saying that just saying you take him out of rythym, he’s the team best shot creator you don’t see teams bench there leading scorer for a few bad plays because you need them to win
It doesn’t matter. Out of the next 3 games he will lay an egg.at least once. Maybe all three. They now know what they have. Some guys rise to greatness in the playoffs (Jordan, Olajuwon, Horry, Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler), Jalen Green is the very opposite of that.
Jalen had 4 turnovers in the first half and started the second half with another turnover. He should have been benched. That's just sloppy play.
I'm not that fond of Cam's game, but I feel like his black tunnel ass could get us more than 10pts out there.
If Stone is perfectly rational we have one more game of this big beautiful Jalen Green experiment after 300 too many. I’m just not sure Stone is lol.
It was obvious to a lot of ppl in this board that JG is not a playoff level player, he is adequate and can go off every once in awhile, but you can't rely on him because he is not consistent. It's what a lot of us have been saying all this time, but i'm glad now it's clear as day in this series and hopefully something can be done about our lineup, one of either JG or FVV needs to go and we develop someone else as number 1/2 option.
Theres no way you can sell this team as trying to maximize their results if you bring back Jalen. Its time to cut your losses and move on.
What I've seen is that Jalen is more in the Eric Gordon mold than a playoff killer--as in, he can have big scoring nights, but is he dependable? As he is right now, without big changes, he can be a useful piece in the playoffs--but the minute teams fully gameplan for him he gets shut down too easily. Eric Gordon peaked as a great sixth man, and I really wish for more out of Jalen. I really, really wish for more. I dunno man, I'm just really disappointed today, and I think that's a worse feeling than being mad.
I have been defending Jalen all of his career but that’s it bro, I have seen enough. Get Devin booker please. Devin booker on one leg will not be worse than this!
We do nothing to make the game easy for him, Hield, Podz, Butler, Curry… the actions get them wide open looks… We was lucky FVV was on from 3 tonight …and even those were contested or pulling up He playing so scared to get benched he’s getting benched… that bounce and swagger is gone
Keep in mind, the same coach that would rather play Jalen over cam, is the same coach that picked VanVleet over harden.
NOW THIS I agree with - he should not be starting with the ball in his hands, we need a CREATIVE PG that can penetrate and finish to free up Jalen on the perimeter (This is why I liked KPJ's skillset)......maybe we can trade for Jaden Ivey this offseason. Jalen will NEVER...repeat ....NEVER be the guy with the ball taking over, but he can be one of the finishers that catch and shoot well....if we surround him with better players. Our team is unbalanced....too much D, too little O. DD
