    Sux that Jalen might be out for very long time. Looks like least grade 2 hamstring injury, might even be grade 3 tear when he couldn’t even walk alone and needed two guys carrying him to exit. We might not see Jalen’s revenge game against us

    Strength and conditioning coach needs to be investigate in Phoenix. Injury. Aggravated in China. Brought him back too soon. Toast for maybe the first half of the season now.

    That was always going to happen. It was no secret that the Rockets wanted FVV back.

    What does FVV have to do with a Jalen Green contract that was already given, are you slow?

    Yeah... let's just ignore that the only reason it went to OT was Jalen being absolute dogshit at basketball.

    Wow, looking at the box score, the Magic without Wagner really lost to a Phoenix team that didn't have Dillon Brooks nor Devin Booker and Jalen Green shooting 6-26 and 2-6 from the FT line. On a side note, the more Banchero plays, the more I find my old semi-joking "Banchero kinda just looks like just a bigger Jalen Green" comp more and more accurate.

    Yeah, if only one of our players who played like dogshit also hit a shot like that in the last minute alone of last night's game ....

    If any player played as poorly as Jalen Green, we'd have been down 20 points so one shot wouldn't have mattered.

    That's why Jalen is such a good tank commander

    The Rockets are very fortunate that Brooks and Booker are hurt. There would be a real possibility of a 7th seed in our future if they hadn’t. Jalen couldn’t tank them, because their head coach isn’t stupid enough to make him numero uno.

    his first bad game and he still ended up hitting a game winner - who on our team outside of Durant and maybe Bari / Reed can even make that attempt and have a chance

    He's only played 9 games but he's been reasonably bad on the whole. 13.3 ppg on 48% TS is not great.

    It’s not awful either considering he was recovering during most those games … Yall try and hide behind that TS% until it pointed at Alpi or Amen and then it’s well … his ankle still hurt, Ime not using him right, etc etc
