    This loss is all on Ime. Jalen was trying his heart out, but that's not good enough. Cam played 23 min and Jalen 36 on a night when Jalen was getting dominated and Cam was dominating. Amen inexplicably gets plopped in the corner for most of the second half. It was about the worst bench coaching I've seen in a long time.

    Bridges blocked 1 fadeaway - the jump in air and bad pass he was fouled in air and they didn’t call it so he forced a pass (listen to Knicks broadcast) and he was last getting back majority of the game cause he’s playing on 1 leg … trust if he was dogging it on D Ime would sit him

    Actually JG is scoring at a similar rate Cade just takes more attempts.

    I think the only way Jalen truly turns around the perception around him is if he has a truly fantastic playoff series. As it stands now, Cade, Mobley and Barnes are objectively better players and these are the guys who shared the all-rookie team with Jalen. Franz Wagner will likely be an all-star next season as well. Jalen has a lot of work to do. They say basketball IQ can’t really be taught, but I think it can be. In my opinion, it’s more like “Feel” is something that can’t be taught and while Jalen doesn’t have the greatest feel, he definitely has better instincts than JLin. The other thing is I hope Jalen can rest properly too, I think he’s definitely playing like he’s a little hurt

    Ime always does this you always see the worst performer aka FVV get the most minutes. Now without FVV JG got the same treatment.

    I appreciate the effort but at the end of the day we here to win not hand out participation trophies. JG wasnt effective at the end of the day he shoulda been benched for Cam didnt even play in the 4rth.

    Nah a certain subset of CF will always hate JG no matter what. Just look at Bobby posts about Jalen but then simping all over Brickpard who has played worse than Jalen ever has.

    Even if Rox win a ring I'm sure the Jaters will still crap on Jalen or same some BS like thats expected.

    I don't trust the ****ing TS although they have 0.6 gap on TS.

    The field goal percentage and 3pt shooting percentage all tells CC is better.

    Jalen with 43% and 35%
    CC with 46% and 36%

    You still say that 0.6 gap on TS? Lol

    Folks will watch the game and hear announcers say he’s limping all game
    They will see him being iced on bench ( Hand, Knee, Calf)
    They will see him wincing while running up and down court or during deadballs

    all this and he’s still trying to carry a team that if we are honest it’s just him and Amen out there - Cam may show up but Tari Brooks Adams Tate Holiday just not the best when you facing teams who put up 120-140 points regularly

    ??? True shooting percentage includes both FG and 3 pt.

    Dont argue if you too dumb to understand what stats mean.

    I don't trust the algorithm.

    FG and 3pt already tells the shooting.

    CC has better on both FG and 3pt shooting.

    Jalen with 43% and 35%
    CC with 46% and 36%

    ??? I've literally said Jalen is the worst performer tonight and he should've been benched for Cam and Holiday.

    I'm not a Jalen lover nor hater. I give praise when it is due and crap on bad players all the time, including Jalen. I just dont have an agenda like other people here.

    Do you like....honestly think Cade and Jalen are at similar points in their careers right now? Because they're not. And they're not close at all.

    TS is not algorithm it is based on FG 3, pts and fts. It is called TRUE for a reason.

    On scoring yes. Thats just backed by facts.

    Dont forget our 100 usd bet on Sheppard vs Green.

    It's calculated by algorithm.

    You obviously don't understand algorithm.

    Make sure you say scoring since Cade is a PG but folks will try and compare him and JG assists

    What does that even mean? On scoring? So what lol. On scoring Jordan Poole is probably better than Amen Thompson.

    Sheppard in his 3rd season averaging 16/5/5 on good efficiency will be better than anything Jalen has done to date.
