    His irrational confidence is the reason he shot nothing but 3s and bricked them all leading to our losses.

    He needs to be realistic and realize he isnt the next KD and stop settling for those dumb shots when he isnt hitting. Having irrational confidence makes him worse not better its called irrational for a reason. Being irrational is a bad thing not a good thing.

    He is only 22 theres a lot of time for him to improve but he will never improve if he has this irrational confidence you keep encouraging. Just look at Nick Young or Westbrook those guys are irrational confidence personified. Did they ever improve? No, because they have irrational confidence they think they are already perfect.

    To be fair I am noticing the Rox generate a lot of open looks from 3 now they just arent hitting. Every opponent plays box and 2 now 100% of the time so aside from KD who always gets guarded everyone else is open from 3. They should be taking shooting drills day and night.

    Wouldn't a box and 2 require 6 players? No wonder the Rockets are losing.

    Charles Barkley said when he joined the Rockets: "They'll have to double team Hakeem. They'll have to double team me. They'll have to double team Clyde. That's six people."

    Jabari gives his detractors too many reasons to squawk. Would be nice if he didnt.
