Ant doing what he did in the play-in game is exactly what I expect Jalen Green to be doing for us every single night. In the Playoffs, you need guys that can reliably get buckets.
You don't seem to know what contrarian means. It's not contrarian to have real questions about a player I had never seen play before or had never been up against this level of competition. And once again, how were any of those questions out of bounds? Is it contrarian to have any questions about Green and his abilities?
Why are you posting random post about Suggs vs Green? What's your point? Do you know that more than 3 people made those post? They all seem to come from the same person, and they were not troll posts. It's amazing how many people are looking for any and every way to create a myth that a lot of people were hating on Green. Nobody has yet to prove me wrong, why are you, so hell-bent on proving this myth?
Can’t believe this kid is only 20! Averaged 19ppg as a rookie and is making his mark in the league (I sense a breakout playoff performance coming also). Definitely has the star attitude. Hope Jalen is watching
Lol. The jury is still out if he’s a winning player or not. But damn Bill is a hater. Someone from the rockets smash his wife or something?
Herb Jones is a media plant having him on 1st Team over Jalen Green is stupidity of the highest order I’m sure these agenda driven media morons will say Herb has a higher BPM, EKG, OOK, ATM, BURP/36 and whatever new age advanced stat they pull out their ass to try and justify the nonsense this is ridiculous Herb Jones on 1st Team over Jalen…
I really don't understand the mentality of 50 year old people that publicly speak about 20 year old kids like this. It's not like he's out there advocating crack cocaine. It's just embarrassing.
I hope Green doesn't try to fix "everything" this offseason. Focus on strength training. Focus on your jumper. Watch a lot of film, particularly help defense, making that "third" read to open players outside of the pick and roll, and handling double teams. He can work on his handle, his change of direction going to the rim (ex euro step), etc next offseason. Trying to do everything in one off season usually isn't the best idea
If he were shy and unattractive I bet it would be a little different. Even the guys on here that we’re incessantly b****ing about his bad play would have eased up a bit if the above were the case. People are sometimes jealous. If the end of the season is any indication things will change and Green will blow up.
Listening to it in context, it was said jokingly. It wasn't like "**** Jalen Green personally" it was more like "**** the idea that Jalen Green should be first-team." He also said that he's very pro-Jalen Green but just doesn't have him on the all-rookie first team, mainly because of how strong this rookie class was - he called it iconic. He agreed that Green was awesome and is comparable in trajectory to Edwards. I think Rockets fans are just going to have to accept that Green won't be on the all-rookie first team, and that if a voter votes in that way it doesn't necessarily make them a "hater." Outside of Rockets internet circle-jerk groups, it's most people have him on the all-rookie second team. And that's ok.
It's as ridiculous as the bust takes coming from 'rockets fans' that didn't like Green from the get go. These 'analysts' are the same way. They were on the 'bust' train and now they will die on their hamburger hill defending their awful take. Too stubborn to allow themselves to see the clear picture: Jalen is damn good at basketball. Kobe and Ray Allen were left out of the 1st rookie team.
The ringer really going for that clickbait espn style bullshit. I don't understand why "analysts" want to be a Steven a. Smith type of reporter. Bill Simmons is a dunce
I saw Rockets fan Twitter going nuts over this and listened to it in context and it’s obvious our fans need to get a grip. A. The three of them then went on to basically say Jalen is a legit future star on par talent wise with Ant Edwards. A guy who they just compared to Lebron B. Bill Simmons isn’t a media guy like Woj or Stein or whatever. He’s a BS‘er and his thing is to just let it rip with ridiculous hot takes. Should he have a media vote though… probably not imo given how he’s basically a Celtics super fan and hates everything Lakers. But I guess everyone in the media grew up a fan of some team so it’s not the end of the world. Chill out Rockets Twitter.
