    I dunno if he cost us the series. He's not that guy. I didn't expect him to be that guy. I came into the series knowing he wasn't that guy. We could've won despite of him. Game 4 will always haunt me. I can't even say that Jalen disappointed me or anything. Someone else would've had to have been the guy either way.

    Get this piece of **** out of here. What a disappointment and waste of a 2nd pick.

    Cost us this series? Dude and his monster Defense were not even locked in.

    Looked like Andre Roberson out there. Time for extra babies, Jalen!

    don't forget to mention that bum sengun, he doesn't need a separate thread. package both of them for giannis.

    Disappearing on offense in 6 of 7 games is nuts.

    Yeah he gone. I don't care if we trade him and Phoenix picks for Durant at this point.

    Anything is better than this ****.

    Or you can trade Green, Sengun and Sheppard for Giannis.

    It motivated Draymond more than it got him going for real.

    There are certainly other issues with this team, but yeah Jalen Green is clearly the #1 problem. He just ain't that dude, and the Rockets need to move on from him this offseason.

    Can’t even say it’s a one time thing.

    Dude has 6 awful games where he averaged 8 points per game. No excuse whatsoever

    I don’t want to watch another decade of James harden choke jobs in clutch games. Cut it off while we can

    Who cares about this guy? Let his contract expire. Cam Whitmore should have had his minutes all year.

    He scored single digits in 6/7 games. You can’t have that from your SG

    Curry locked his ass up. Trade him to whoever. I'd even take firsts for him and salary filler. Would rather gamble on an unknown commodity.

    Everybody else on the team did their job. Jalen just had to me mediocre at his and he couldn't be.

    Someone with shaky fundamentals and shaky decision making is basically what you see now. Against a set defense, you just go head first at the rim there's no way for success. Hell Jimmy Butler doesn't take the type of shots Jalen forces

    It sounds so insignificant but it’s a real thing.

    He can't come back. He needs to be done here. After this series his ass is probably worthless on the trade market.

    It's not a terrible contract. I don't think we should really be down that much on him regardless of his bad showing in the playoffs. He still has the "potential" value on a relative cheap contract. If the Rockets want to move him, they can. It's not impossible, he is just not going to fetch you top talent.
