Gotta watch Brooklyn vs Detroit over this game. History in the making!

 

He's barely involved in actions. I never want to be the guy who criticizes Ime due to the immense change in culture he has brought but man you want to somewhat take advantage of Green's speed and space the floor out sometimes for Green here and there. He's always involves in actions with guys like Sengun hovering around the mid post area just creating congestion.

Just occasionally I ask to let him have a 5 out clear out to let him just have an opportunity to just defeat one defender to score.

There is no point in someone like Jalen Green just being a corner guy not doing anything on offense besides waiting for a defender to play off him for an open shot. He's not some elite defender who can be a zero on offense. If he's going to be effective it's with the ball and going down hill. You have to occasionally everyone few possessions give him that simple chance. I don't know if he's voluntarily giving up the ball and not demanding clear outs or Ime would simply not allow that

 

Watching Ivey plays makes me feel better about Jalen Green.

 

He ain’t Bull Curry!
(and lucky for him!)

 

Did we pick the good twin? Ausar sucks now.

 

*Jalen makes standard basketball play* Green fans -

 

Silas continues to make history. The man needs a 30 for 30.

 

Jalen hasnt been exceptionally bad, but the bar is so low for him at this point that if he just does a few things well he gets glowing reviews.

His first half highlights are he made a shot
Made a pass to Dillon Brooks who scored
And got a steal and maybe got fouled.

Yeah, how dare people expect more.

 

hear yo inner scream lol

 

Explain!

 

Its not even about being a fan or not. Its just that complete lack of unbias observation.

Jalen is so hated right now, all anyone wants to so is see faults and call him derogatory names instead of actually watching the game and what hes doing both good AND bad. Its just bad commentary and its pathetic to have to see him being called a p"ssy for not dunking the ball. Its bush league around here.

 

Love Sengun but he could really take us up a notch if we did that IMO.

 

Look at that statement and ask why. With what we know about Jalen, he should be good at playing off ball and moving to his spots but he doesn’t. It’s bball iq. Because we know it’s not effort. Jalen tries hard, he jsut doesn’t understand what he needs to do. He doesn’t process the game well or quick enough.

 

Jabari got no defense.

 

I heard Bari from here

 

Jalen normally has a half decent second half. He really needs to get going.

 

Bad D Bari !

 

Silas have a same face expression he had last season with us lol
