    Jeff Green needs to show Jalen what is playing basketball.

    We gave up Harden because he demanded a trade (which we won)

    Is Jalen even better than Terrence Williams?

    What was up with Fred heaving a three with 8 seconds to go. Had time to look for a pick and take a middy that was spot on for him today.

    Jalen was terrible in the last home stand.

    Ime still need to run some off-the-ball screens like Cleveland does which makes the defenders have to work harder. Too much dribbling and ISOing.

    Really proud of the team...no quit....REALLY disappointed with Bari not in the game at the end of regulation and OT. You can't tell me that we are a better team w/o him on the floor.

    Agree. Also you can't tell me we are a better team with Jalen Green on the floor.

    Someone please tell me one thing he contributes to winning. Just one.

    I think if Jabari was in the game in OT we would’ve been better off for sure. He would’ve been fresh and he’s been proven to be a clutch shooter

    Lately, nothing. But he did have a good stretch earlier in the season. It's just that his offensive game has vanished in the last couple weeks.

    Jabari is the luckiest man on earth. Green being trash has made people forget that he's been trash as well.

    Jabari actually shows signs of potential growth and its only his second year in the league. Jalen.....idk man idk.

    It's just high PnR, Horns or let Sengun Post up. It gets too easy to scout.

    Seems like we don't have any other plays we run comfortably. When Jalen gets the ball, he's confused because there's no plays so he just closes his eyes and drives

    Please shut up about it

    He's our best offensive player and that isn't even in question. It's not close. Nobody on this team even approaches his level of efficiency on tough contested shots. He missed it. It almost went in. It is what it is.

    When he's in year 5 those will go in more often than not. Getting him the experience now is how you get to that point.
