    The lowest playing time in a small sample does not mean worst performing.

    Also, giving him some playing time is in the best interest of the team.

    The fact I had to spell either of these things out to you SHOULD embarrass you.... but you apparently don't know enough to realize that

    I can totally understand now how the Celtics made the Finals that season. Mazzulla was Udoka's lead offense guy and he's an offensive genius in the making.

    Udoka needs another Mazzulla badly.

    That would require Udoka to admit that Mazzulla has been better on most accounts and only worse on Defense.......

    He is not admitting that. He chose the Rockets to be the absolute Number 1 decision maker.

    The Ultimate Power Grab.

    Not really a stepdad if Jalen and Draya aren’t married, right?

    That's just nicer than saying "taking her son to see her last pathetic mark before retirement"

    I'm telling you guys this iteration if the Lakers can't handle this squad. Slow defenders all around. Slow defenders are swiss cheese for Rocket wings and guards.

    Another great game from Green. I just watched the second half but it was enough.

    The fifth foul was dumb but I put the blame more on Ime. Green was visibly put off by the 4th foul and he could have spent a couple minutes on the bench to calm down. He didn't play the stretch before the 5th foul well either. Ime should have sit him down.

    He took over from Jabari who many predicted to should have dominated.......but behaved like a role player

    Draya does look younger for her age but her cells are pretty old.

    I don't know and truly do not care who is numero uno, but I do know the Rox have at least 3 BAMF.

    If T can get healthy 4.

    Headed to the playoffs y'all.

    Go Rox

    Jalen Green is like a human metronome, so consistent from season to season. One more solid game to get his percentages exactly in line with his norm.

    TS% 55% 54% 54% 54%
    3PT% 34% 34% 33% 32%
    FG% 43% 42% 42% 41%

    Sure would be nice if a good stretch turned into actual sustained improvement for a change but I'm not holding my breath.

    None, now, now it's not after the All Star break yet.

    Remember the narrative of Jalen Green always goes crazy only after the ASB.
    Expect those numbers to go up.
