    He's not better than Jalen, stop it. He's a ball stopper and a horrible teammate

    No I don't want to trade him but if he's pouting and wants out, then bye

    I didn't say I know them and no one who reads what I wrote will be confused. Oh and btw even if I did, it's none on your business. You don't like my lane, you can stay in yours where allegedly don't insinuate anything about anyone's personality.

    Again. You're saying it's not your lane. So take your own advice. I don't need it. Thanks.

    KPJ was assaulting women in parties in Cleveland punching their faces. Many Temper Tantrums.

    Unfortunately many judge and hate. That seems to be the norm these days.

    Who knows what's on his mind at the moment? Doesn't matter, because the team is playing well so he there's no big distraction. Ime knows what's best for the team.

    I've watched every game this year, I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. At least every other game he will dribble the ball out of bounds and that is too many times. I don't remember ever seeing Harden dribble out of bounds as much as Jalen and he had the ball way more. I don't trust him with the ball yet because he still makes at least 1 boneheaded play a game that leaves me scratching my head like wtf was that.

    Just cuz I criticize him doesn't mean I have bias. I'm rockets fan first I want him to succeed. His problem is as the 2nd pick in the draft he has such high expectations and he doesn't meet them. I dunno how you can watch this season and think he's a good player. But I give credit where credit is due. 1. His defense has improved drastically this year. And his help defense has been significantly better the last week or so. 2. Since he changed his shooting form in the last week his jumper has been more consistent, if this keeps up and his shooting percentages become serviceable I have no problem with Jalen on this team. The problem is we need him to be our star and you saw how big of a gap there was between Jalen and Ant just last week. I just don't believe he has the frame or the IQ to ever be a true number 1 star. I wouldn't mind him as much if we didn't try to force him into our number 1 option because he's clearly not that right now. Sure when he gets hot it's fun to watch and you see all the potential but he has just as many terrible games as he has good ones so we have no clue what he is.

    Cam Whitmore sure pisses some people off.

    People felt the same about Rasheed Wallace and Charles Oakley.

    He doesn’t bother me- he is pissed all the time at himself or something else, and he doesn’t “play” but he doesn’t have to.

    Again you aren't addressing your eye test isn't reflecting data.

    At the end of the day we were making claims of Green's handle in relation to Cam, and you'd be the only person in the room who's say he has better handles than Green.

    Never said that once. I said I want Jabari to shoot it without dribbling. I said not one statement of cam having better handles.

    Jalen been cleaned up his TO - he’s avg like 1 a game the last 10 or so and he’s way down the list compared to other Guards - Harden is at almost 5 a game, last I checked JG was 2.3

    Last game basically showed you why we need a shooter around Sengun. Jalen didn't need to turn it over because he was just catching and shooting wide open threes. If Jalen starts hitting those at high clips than he has all year the league is in trouble.
    I expect harden to turn it over more. He basically has the ball on every possession he's in the game.

    Philadelphia has a problem Joel Embiid trying to miss every other game. Ask Tyrese Maxey.

    Zion Williamson has hardly played for the Pelicans.

    Cam Whitmore wants to play more.

    Granted he could start smiling more.

    His ball handling from the backcourt is impressive now. Keep going Jalen.

    Cam has his own high standards, Cam should focus on defense and run back after his own missed shot. He dwells on his misses and slow jogs. Run hard back on defense Cam. Show lateral defense, get passing deflections and steals.

    Ime Udoka pays more attention on Cam hustle back on defense.

    Look at Jalen Green now he is hustling back on defense and great lateral defense, deflecting passes, getting steals. Ime Udoka disciplined him by benching him if he didn't play hard. Now Jalen Green is on instinct, plays hard on defense now. Which is great to see and for his growth.

    Under no circumstances? Look. I would love to be wrong but he's a headache. He's always been one. It's why he slid in the draft and why he can't stay on the court. He could be a valuable 6th man but he hasn't even shown he's willing to do that. He hasn't earned anything but he feels entitled. He seems like he quits when things don't go his way
