    He was very Corey Brewer like tonight. That's how I remember Corey Brewer playing.

    What I love is that it was against an alleged top 5 DPOY candidate in Daniels and Jalen's 3PT shot wasn't falling.

    Nitpicking since I'm holding him to a higher standard than ever before:

    - He's not going straight up and down with balance on his jumpers as he was doing earlier, and I suspect that has a lot to do with just being fatigued. Not being able to stop forward momentum can be a sign of fatigue or injury.

    - A couple of times, celebrating a basket led to an advantage for the other team. It's time he treats more of those as routine for him.

    - Hawks were not very good at protecting the paint, that's something we won't ever get in the Western playoffs.

    - Becoming clear that he's good with either Sengun or Amen, but not as good when both Amen and Sengun are starting.

    These last 11 games are a serious stress test. We only have 2-3 clearly winnable games there then it's the playoffs. It's going to be the biggest learning experience in his career. Excited for him to understand the playoffs are a different animal and elite players are shaving off every piece of fat off their game as possible.

    he ain't Harden - or Clyde - he is just another guy.
    Double d

    That's a such a ridiculous way to critique or sht on a promising youngster.
    He's not like a future HoF or hall of famer, so he aint special

    Trying to compete with Brewer 2.0 as the shttiest green take.

    I don’t think you can sit here and say he won’t be a Hall of Famer.

    it certainly isn’t clear cut but he’s a couple efficiency points away from being a complete shooting guard.

    The players that he made tonight, only a few players in the league make those. The guys that do, happen to be a little bit older, a little bit, physically, more mature, and a little bit more efficient.

    Anyone seen @Dobbizzle? What happened to that dude? Just curious. He was a Jalen supporter. Haven’t seen him here in a while

    Forgot to mention our old friend @Tom Bombadillo AKA Rudy’s nut sack in his mouth. Also a notorious Jalen hater.

    That's a fact. He is the ONLY player that hasn't missed a game in 2 season and we'd be a lottery team without him

    Other than his turnovers being too high, he had a very good game last night.

    The progress has been painfully slow, but it is there. As a result, it's becoming increasingly rare that I flat out don't want him on the court, and more and more often that he's outright good. Both are VERY welcome changes

    He’s efficiency hasn’t improved at all. He’s consistently shot 42% in each season of his four year career.

    Hes good, just not good enough. I hope he gets traded in the offseason.

    Behind the back dribble, inside out dribble(shimmy), spin moves are the Top Moves Jalen Green must develop and polish.

    Very impressed he is copying Shai Gilgeous Alexander Moves. Keep copying and adding to your package.

    Jalen Green loves the game so much he watches highlights of Shai, Curry, Murray, Edwards no doubt. Add their moves only adds to Jalen growth.

    Too much talent, all of them are debatable.

    Even Alperen Sengun could be the best player in the Draft.

    Cade, Green, Mobley, Barnes, Wagner, Sengun, Suggs, Kuminga, Giddey, Murphy, Grimes, Thomas.

    All of them are Future Stars.

    Quinten Grimes added to the Rockets will help the Rockets even more in Free Agency.
