He is a 6’11 power forward, there are not many 6’11 power forward he is going against in the paint. The only thing he is doing this year is rebounding, still averaging 13 points per game and playing more than 30 minutes a game
You say this but again like I point out...look at the other young teams. They all completely also suck AT HOME. The Spurs, Detroit, Washington, etc, these teams are not getting a home boost. The Rockets are, so why is that?
I've noticed Jalen shows up in games coming off public criticism but it will only last a game or two. He will inevitably fall off again to his base level garbage self. Why can't he show up to games with this mentality every game? Why does it take articles to get him focused and amped up?
The GM gave up on that bench before the season, this bench is not NBA Play In caliber.... They front loaded with FVV and Brooks signing and let the Bench rot in its existence..... Simple as that, of course this get magnified on the Road..... Everyone deep down knows it.....to simply just choosing to overlook that opponent home teams just shoot and play better, I cannot help you otherwise.
That could have been close to flagrant on O'Neale Just absolutely hacked Jalen and didn't get close to the ball
Being a prolific player does not equal being a "winning" player (see R. Westbrook). Harden's always come up short whenever it matters the most. I just don't think it's worth it with his off court stuff a part of the equation. Obviously he's a better statistical playe than VV.
The Rockets aren't even very good at home - they're basically treading water there since January. The overachievement November December is now eclipsed by January February. Guess what's on tap for March.
Jabari is only a role player. Jabari is suppose to be a elite shooter he is not. He is a average shooter
