    No no no bro. No weaseling out.

    I've set out very clearly what happens on a court and in the stats when there's no spacing.

    What's your definition? What would it look like if the spacing were bad?

    Otherwise anyone can sit and nitpick at a random stat. Tell us what should happen on a basketball court so that YOU personally believe the spacing is bad and limiting our offense.

    What's your definition? What would it look like if the spacing were bad?

    Word, We have had 5 post season games to gauge Jalen for real and he's had 1 break out and 4 games where he has played average or worse. The man is not a NUMERO UNO.
    I dont need to explain to you anything because im not the one whinging and crying out about spacing is bad as an excuse for Jalen's performance as a Numero Uno.

    I just use what the stats tells me. 5 games, 1 break out and 4 average to below average performances with bad efficiency.

    Go argue with a dictionary if you want to "define" things.

    Oh so you want to not have an opinion and just grab random stats to make a point like a 5-year old. Ok great at least we know your credibility is shot before you ever say anything. You want to come in here and if one data point suits you, just grab it and troll with it.

    No one HAS TO do anything here. When you have the balls to put your principles on the table let me know. I've detailed before the playoffs started and up to 1.5 years ago exactly how the floor and the stats would be affected. I've called out Green's bad games where it's his fault.

    All you have to do is tell us: what happens in a game when the spacing is bad?

    If you wanna chicken out, then go ahead and chicken out but don't come in here with "I know which stat to focus on after the fact". You've already embarrassed yourself saying Fred had a good shooting game so that means the spacing was good - you clearly have no f*ckin idea what spacing is.

    Worst outcome is that both Jalen & Fred are the starting back court again next year.


    I don't think I can take another season of terrible guard play.

    Yeah mate, keep defining it how you like. You’re a joke. When you have some intellect you can reply to me with intelligent posts instead of “defining”.

    my principle is that you’re a r****d.

    How was the spacing this game?

    Good: Why didn’t Jalen ball out
    Bad: Why was Amen able to dominate with such an efficient game.

    Answer: Jalen banged his knee

    What's hilarious is you think this is dissing me that your principle is "you're r****ded" hahaha

    Look how you self-destructed when someone asked you to put an opinion on the table you can stand by.

    The rest of us know what it means when someone is afraid to state their hypothesis. You don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else?

    At least the people who have a nuanced opinion on it have an actual theory. I've heard it, I've debated with them. For example that the rebounding will outperform the benefits of putting more spacers on the floor.

    You got nothing. Your theory is literally: "Amen scored 27 one game so I guess spacing is not an issue."

    At this point with playoff survival on the line green not chucking and having a turnoverless game is a good game.

    We won and folks still have time to btch and nitpick. A win is a win.

    Hahaha

    What is spacing bro please tell us!

    Just be honest you think spacing is making 3's within a game don't you? You can't hide your opinion forever. Just share it if you're so sure of it.

    While we all prefer him to be putting high efficiency 30+ point games every night, if he can keep from chucking shot after shot when he is having off nights I will take it. I commend Jalen for not trying to push things when has been off so far in these playoffs so far. That shows he is maturing. He will likely always be a streaky player so not being a chucker on the off nights is a huge improvement. On the off nights he should play defense as hard as he can and be a distributor and for the most part he has been doing just that.

    Jalen definitely played great but he banged his knee and wasn't the same afterwards.

    I dunno man if you can't see that you don't know basketball. Dude was sinking shots, playing hard and even defending Draymond in the post. After he banged his knee he lost his mobility and couldn't get separation anymore or lift in his shot thats why he stopped producing.

    Jalen banged knees with Curry look at that Curry 13 pts on 33% FG, I take that everyday injury for one of our guys for one injury to Curry. Is Curry washed? No clearly he got banged up just like Jalen when you get injured you play bad what a shocker.

    You sound stupid tbh, you literally just ducked really basic basketball knowledge questions. Jalen sucks, but you suck at this worse tbh, sorry to break it to you.

    Dude is definitely in the closet, they're the only people who obsess about all those little things and make their little homophobic jokes to cover it up. Always end up being caught in scandals with 3 rent boys in hotel rooms. He comes across exactly like those people.

    Sounds like any role player......stay on the court and in your narrow lane...don't fork things up.....

    33.33 millions to pay next year. Maybe an expiring in a couple years.

    Don't fork things up is pretty much my thought every time Jalen touches the ball now to be fair lol

    Slow and steady. Great game peppered with solid games are way better than bipolar Jalen green.

    Plus it's his first playoff series. Right now it's the amen and sengun show. Green and Smith
    Are putting up role player stats (aside from that one monster green game).

    With playoff elimination on the line, we do not need green forcing it in an attempt to carry the team

    Let’s be honest, if we had Booker instead of Green we would have won this series already. Jalen’s inconsistency is devastating.
