    Having Jock Landale in the game is like playing Russian roulette, only with 5 bullets in the revolver.

    Mofo you know I watched the game - and I’ve said it in Jalen’s thread and this one - scroll

    He never refused to pass the ball to Sengun - He was giving Sengun the ball who was stumbling and bumbling and fumbling it away for whatever reason (Did you watch the game???)

    Yall can accuse JG of a lot but being selfish isn’t one

    Yeah that was laughable. He still doesn't get it. Silas would've been clapping his ass off after that.

    Yeah Tari is the worst layup finisher I’ve seen but he is one of the best player that gets offensive rebound from his own miss

    Tate made 2 grand points in 15 minutes. Not bad in his standarts.

    I wish he was selfish and didn't miss 3-pointers. I'm fine with that. Let him play selfish, but let him score. He keeps throwing bricks at the basket.

    Recover to make a second jump yes I agree. Some of that can be learned and worked on with a trainer. But there are many facets to athleticism. He flexibility and the ability to shoot from multiple angles and positions,which is part of athleticism. He also has surprisingly good lateral mobility for a guy his size.

    Jalen is not only one of the worst finishers in the league, he also shoots just 37% from midrange, 31% on catch and shoot threes, and 32% on pull-up threes

    Who was training him over the summer? What was he doing?

    I hope Jalen wasn’t out here being trained by long-time friends or unqualified people he’s cool with

    Again, Jalen isn't C&S player, Jalen isn't selfish, Jalen isn't this, Jalen isn't that. Tell me what is Jalen. Enlighten me with your ultimate basketball knowledge.

    Amen was good, it was good for him to get the start and get some good minutes. I thought Cam tonight didn't get the ball much especially in his first stint, he was a bit quiet.

    Well, Jalen took (and missed) the normal amount of 3s tonight. Dillon just took all of Fred's and Bari's 3s on top of his own quota.

    Jaylen and Jayson did miss theirs, that is what mattered otherwise that would have been a minor blowout.

    They showed plenty of clips with FVV and him training in the offseason. Fvv set him up or Jalen is just smoking too much weed that his brain is fried.

    That Shams bomb saying "The Rockets are trading Jalen Green, Jaesean Tate, Aaron Holiday and Jock Landale for..." is gonna hit so good.

    Again scroll and you see where I said how to put him in better positions to score that’s if you cared at all anyway… since you have nothing positive to offer keep your negativity to yourself
