    Most definitely the Rockets have a very bright future with this core!

    You lost me at Jalen carrying the team.

    Goodness gracious.

    There's bad takes. And then there's this.

    Jalen, focus on getting better rather then doing a Durant on social media.

    Why don’t you move your dumb ass out of this forum and join Mobley and his sorry ass to the Cavs forum since you love his scrubby ass so much lol

    Oh look, it's one of those people who have nothing to fall back on so just accuse people of things haha.

    Not once have I ever said I'm a Mobley fan.

    It is cringeworthy how embarrassing player only fans are.

    If we want to play the 'I'm a bigger fan card' (as stupid as that is - but seems to be the angle you're going for) - why don't you contribute to Clutchfans, clown?

    Bro, these Jalen Bust allegations and the people meat riding Mobley on here and twitter has scared some of us, lol

    i trust Jalen to perform when the lights are on. I'm still holding on to his summer league campaign when everybody was watching. that was electric ****. also, whenever there is a big matchup, Jalen shows up. Rockets just need a coach to make him the priority, run plays and not stick him in the corner

    im going to hate silas forever,

    What Mobley does or doesn’t do has nothing to do with what Green does or doesn’t do. It is possible for both to have great success or both to fail.

    People bagging on a 21 year old DPLOY Finalist, who is in the playoffs are off base.

    Having said that, Green will have a new and better coach, and players with his type of profile typically have a big jump in year 3 or 4… so Green may end up really good too.

    Green needs to keep working on his body and game- get his perimeter shot more consistent, get physically stronger and improve his passing - these are all things I expect him to improve.

    The Rockets adding Nurse or Udoka would be the best possible thing for Green’s career…. He will not be happy with them often, but he will be a better player for having one of them coach him.

    I prefer Nurse’s knowledge, but Udoka has the better personality…. Nurse has stood up to players before, but Udoka doesn’t even let it get to that point…. Likewise, Udoka is very good at sets, scheme but Nurse is even better.

    Dudes here do not realize playoff failure makes or breaks you but it is more likely it makes you better because you can learn from all of that.

    This. Why do people have to prop up one and trash the other? Why can't they both be great or both suck?

    Mobley has to up his offensive game to reach the star level. Or he'll only be a specialist role player.

    People are trashing on Mobley now cuz everyone was giving calling Jalen a bust and saying Stone should be fired for not picking Mobley. So now he is getting exposed its kinda validation for everyone who said he woulda sucked if Rox picked him cuz nobody can pass him the ball on this team.

    Mobley was extremely overrated as well, people were calling him Slim Duncan and attributing all the success Cavs have had to him, he even made dpoy finalist when Jarett Allen is the best defender on the Cavs.

    When a dude has that much hype then plays like a scrub in the playoffs then obviously people are gonna bag on him. Thats just the nature of the NBA stars who play bad get trashed.

    They voted him DPOY finalist when Allen was clearly their best defender and was the all star. I dunno man you think media cares about him or not?

    Last year as well people were praising Mobley for his "versatility" saying he can play with 2 other big men when it was actually Lauri Markannen who moved to SF and was providing spacing with 3s. Mobley is like Mr. Satan in DBZ whenever his teammates do something good the media attributes it to Mobley.

    This playoffs have expose that FRAUD of who he really is. The whole world is seeing he is a trash ass scrub lol. Jarret Allen is literally the best defender on that team and his scrub ass gets the credit in the regular season, now we all know how trash he is in the playoffs.

    Jarrett Allen Interior Presence changed that Team, He did it with the Nets years ago in that surprise Playoff run. Nets Collapsed after He Left.

    Durant wanted Harden so badly they traded Jarrett Allen away which was a huge mistake. Durant and Irving would've worked better in the Playoffs with a Bigger Center in Jarrett Allen.

    When I looked at Evan Mobley I was thinking Do I see him as a Successful Center. I didn't.

    The Cavaliers Bickerstaff surprised me that they put Evan Mobley at Power Forward and usually as a Stretch Forward.

    Defensively he plays better as a Helping Shot Blocker during the Season. In the Playoffs Evan is getting Bullied and Pushed Away for easy Rebounds and. Brunson is getting Layups against Mobley on Switches.

    His lack of IQ, no role Offensively, Iso Plays on the Cavs Garland, Mitchell, LeVert. Stands in the Corner, Weak Pick and No Roll. Evan being a Turnover Prone Passer.

    This is why I'm confident Green is meant for the playoffs and Mobley isn't.

    Green is a tough shot maker when it matters.
