Chapter 9: Jalen "Call Me Daddy" Green

Having blind faith for years isn't a virtue, it's a vice.

 

Agreed. If someone can’t figure out how to consistently shoot on this team, we are in trouble. Teams are going to continue to clog the paint and trap Jalen until someone else makes them pay for it. Assembling a team of athletes who can’t shoot is not a winning recipe.

 

Udoka is basically hoping either Amen or Tari have this miraculous night that they can outrebound teams by themselves and keep shouldering the load.

 

Daddy abandoned his kids last night

 

Chapter 10: Jalen "I want my mommy!" Green?

I kid I kid... He's going to be alright, just a very bad night

 

I bet he’s hoping someone starts making some of the umpteen million open shots they’re missing. I tell the guys I coach, I can get help get you open shots, but I can’t make them for you.

 

If we go by history, then the team will shoot better while the hot shooting of Jalen is not sustainable, we saw that against Dallas and now GSW.

Individual numbers go down, team number of role players conversion goes up.

 

Someone is gonna need to figure out how to make an open shot regardless of what Jalen or anyone else does. He played poorly last night and someone has to be able to hit an open shot regardless.

 

his efficiency is still not good

40% from the field, 39% from deep, and 54% TS

he has gotten better, but we still need more

 

Last year he would string together like 4-5 of these types of poor games in a row. Interested to see how he responds next game and how he adjusts to defenses increasingly designed to stop him.

 

Thanks Professor.

Speaking of blind faith, was that your issue with the mental case you clamored on about forever. Was that a vice?

Oh BTW

This is stupid even by your standards.

 

We need more from you as a poster who's been wrong about pretty much everything

 

How's that?

 

Advocating for a young talented player to get a shot at some playing time over the corpse of John Wall on a tanking team is nothing like the embarrassing cult of Jalen has been the past 3+ years.

There's simply no comparison, I'm just not a player only fan... in any sport.

 

Porter had some skills, but he didn't then and apparently still does not have it between the ears. It was obvious they had him there for a reason with a slim hope that he might get it.

But since you always bring it up...

Do you think I'm a player only fan?

Part of a "cult"?

Or could it be I'm a glass half full guy?

 

at first glance i thought this was a diddy thread. could still be? let's wait and see...

 

One bad game and his TS% goes back down to below average. That's the problem with small sample size.

 

In this Me2 era nobody wants to be called Puffy or Daddy or Diddy......

Once again @Mathloom does one of these threads and Green's shooting goes the toilet

Chapter 10 - the writers have run out of ideas
