    How the hell you going to average 14 points on 37% FG after talking all that smack? Anyone still supporting this bum needs a reality check.

    I'd trade him for bag of skittles at this point. He's a bum and that's all he'll ever be

    His reputation is cooked as a Rocket. It’s worse than Giddey in OKC(not even talking about the off the court stuff). Giddey hurt OKC so bad in the halfcourt that he would get benched and after the playoffs, it was clear that he wouldn’t be back. Jalen has lost the trust of the fans and most likely his teammates. Do him and the rockets a favor by trading him elsewhere.

    It's time for the annual end of season meltdown. .. But at least you were 1st

    But seriously, I defended Jalen like a stan over the years.. He's young and playoff inexperienced but I agree with the poster that said " He's lost the trust of the team" ... He's never had the trust of the fans though.. lol ... Time for a change of scenery

    Terms of talent he was on par with KPJ it’s just we thought that was his floor and expected to be much better offensive player but looks like that was his ceiling also.. his gonna be good off the bench player later down the road but no way near worth $33 mil worth

    He didn’t average 14 points. He averaged less.

    that 38 point performance was nothing short of LUCK. Yes he got LUCKY. I don’t care what it was this guy got lucky. Jalen green sucks.

    This guy was given the keys to the city during a tankathon and still sucked.

    trade him and run it back. Don’t overreact talking about Giannis or all of this. At the moment we don’t need any of that. Get rid of this wingstop bum and let’s see how we improve.

    Yes he did. I'll go there now. What a mental midget!

    But the good thing is it should prove to everyone (including Rafa Stone) he's gotta go. There is no debate left.

    He didnt even try to get hot in a game 7. 7 FGA. Thats worse to me than just jacking up shots like Westbrick.

    He has zero killer instinct

    Agreed but Sengun does not get a pass either. His inconsistent play when the team needed him the most cost us along with the missed free throws.

    Anthony Edwards was drafted one draft class before him. Look where Ant man is at right now in his career and look at Jalen, let that sink in.

    If he was replaced with a league average player we probably win the series.

    This is not a hyperbole. This is the worst performance I’ve seen out of a player in a long, long time.

    Jalen, low IQ, poor handles, trying to manufacture a super star hurt us. His defense has improved. Nothing else to say.

    His total loss of ability to shoot has been there nearly all the season. The Warriors just exploited to the max.

    He also isn't the most mentally tough player either. That is worrisome.

    The conundrum for the Rockets is that Stone extended him for 3 years $106M with a player option in the 3rd year. That extension was widely panned because they could've just let him enter restricted Free Agency. Those critics were right. We're stuck with Green at least for next year because of that extension Stone gave him.
