Jalen Green’s frustration clear in the building - Iko

He's a troll and one of the few Jalen stans left which is why it has to be like a Jalen relative or something lol

 

Today he played well. Guess he just need Beal to hit him in the face and push him to get motivated. Never seen him hustle so much in 3 years.

 

Is this why Jalen has shot .274 on uncontested 3's for the season? Sengun makes Jalen miss?

 

He showed some balls tonight. I didn't know he had it in him!

 

It affects the whole team's offensive struggles, not just Jalen

 

agreed. I always watch him without the ball. Tonight I didn’t see much standing around without the ball; he was constantly active.

I’m never gonna buy the shot or his finishing at the rim until I see a full season of it, but the effort was there tonight and he defended well. Glad the shots were falling. Too bad the Suns aren’t really a trade candidate in the offseason

 

No excuses!

 

I agree 10,000%.
Jalen has everything he needs to be a franchise guy, but he has to mature and grow the hell up. His biggest obstacle is between his ears and that’s the scary part for the Rockets, will he ever get it? It’s not physical ( though he needs to stay in the weight room), it’s maturity and a better shot selection.

 

The sad thing is that his mentality was what they used to explain why they drafted him..

 

34pts 9rebs 4 assist is not a excuse

 

He's 22yrs old lol. You guys are the ones not mature enough to allow him to grow up. You have to give him time to develop

 

It was his best game for sure but sadly only an anomaly. I however was not talking about this game. I was talking about you blaming all of his bad games, you know the 95+% of them, on Sengun. Quit making excuses for him.

 

Every good game from Green.

His haters:

"Glad green had the best game of his career"

I don't think this was the best game of his career. He's had other games where he was running around with effort on defense and also putting up efficient 25+ or games in a win.

 

Moving him to the bench kills any amount of compensation we could get for him this off season.

 

yeah!!!

 

To be fair though this may have been the best game of his career. Based on EPM it's the second best game of his career (+9.0), the best game of his career was last year against Minnesota (+9.8). And it is his best game of the season. It was a really, really good game.

 

Wow - didn’t know the EPM confirmed the eye test. He won that game for us - best offensive player through 4 quarters and made a few key defensive plays down the stretch that prevented the Suns from coming back. I thought the most encouraging part was that it wasn’t necessarily the most efficient game but he was being aggressive enough that he was making a mark on the game literally from the tip…and he really is starting to piece together games where the defensive lapses are rarer than the solid moments and the above average defensive plays. To the points above - you also see he is starting to get a little more nasty to his game - no doubt rubbing off from his teammates…and frankly he needs to adopt that mindset of ‘taking it’ rather than ‘winning it’. This is really the Udoka way all these guys need to buy into to take it to another level.

 

Quit making excuses for him.

 

It was also a weird game from the Suns in which Nurkic exited due to friendly fire, Grayson Allen wandered around like a headless chicken, Beal was in a fighting mood, every guy in the stands was fired up watching Amar'e and not the game, they were shooting 29-31% from 3 and took a ton less 3s.

Like nobody in the stands cared about this game and the Suns.
