    Hire someone who can draw and you won’t need to write the names.

    You're right, I agree. It's not fair to hold Anthony Edwards to that standard, we shouldn't expect him to play up to the level of Jalen Green.

    Ant failed in the clutch tonight against the Mavs at home. What say you Jalen?

    I hope he dunks so hard on Klay that the pain travels back in time and slaps 2018 Klay in the face.

    Klay is shooting poorly in game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals. For whatever reason, he just can't get it going--and the Rockets' stifling defense have them up by double digits into the third quarter.

    But as he takes the floor in what looks to be a lost game, a lost season... *SLAP*

    The pain shoots into the back of Klay's head, jolting him from his stupor.

    The wish is granted. The Warriors win.

    And the cogs of destiny turn yet again

    We prefer the thriller (backdrop music) around this time of year

    LOL

    Shout out to @D-rock wherever you're at bud --- "Thrilla" was my favorite part of the 2021 draft cycle! (Mobley turned out OK too :D)

    Whenever the Mavs play the Rockets they don't do soft drop coverages. They blitz Green hard. Let's see how Green handles it.

    I remember that late March game where the Mavs did their hardest to deny Green space or even the ball and our coaching staff allowed Luka to iso the entire first half. I'm like "how in the hell does the Mavs coaching staff fear Green more than the Rockets coaching staff fears Luka".

    I can only imagine the coaching staff thought the Rockets had better on ball (switchable) defenders and Dallas decided to not leave that to chance. I remember that game as well and remember thinking can we get the ball out of Luka's hands before he gets hot. We didn't, he did and proceeded to kill us.

    Huge game tomorrow. Sengun slumping and this will be the first real opponent on the road. Most important game in Jalen's career up until this point. Last times he's gone Thriller-mode have been end of the season stints. Would be such a statement to do it on the road against a (relevant) in-state rival on Luka's dome (and Klay's bit*h a$$"). They're a good defensive team as well and will be zeroed in on him.

    Even the most staunch Jaters like this guy Red94 are coming around.

    I like that he's dedicating himself to skill development, training and improving his body and also focusing on being dedicated to the recovery process.

    LeBron spends $2 Million a year on his body and recovery, hopefully, Jalen has a plan with season goals and recovery goals.
