Houston Sports media, writers & bloggers owe Jalen Green a apology

Did the caps help you feel better?

 

YOUR MOM DID

 

I agree that's selling too low. I'd honestly probably package him with picks and see if we could get Trae Young. Probably a long shot but I'd kick the tires. Jackson from the Grizx wouldn't be terrible either

 

A mother joke. If you don't mind me asking how old are you?

 

OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR DAD

 

You definitely aren't old enough to be my father.

How about we drop the childish stuff, stop ruining the thread and talk basketball?

 

YOUR MOMS VAGINA IS THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL

 

Yeah I'm done with you. Go tell these lame jokes to the other middle schoolers

 

I'm arguing with thar dumb Jalen Green fan. Pay attention.

 

Shut the **** up

 

Per NBA.com, Jalen shot 27.4% on wide open 3-pointers pre-All-Star break. He's shooting 46.8% post-All-Star break.

It makes very little difference where his defender is on those perimeter shots. He's simply making shots he was bricking all season long. Quit making excuses; it's OK to admit that a player you like was playing poorly.

Also, quit blaming other players as the sole excuse for why another player underperformed. It's inaccuate and pretty toxic.

 

Same with the posters who take a stand to hate an obviously gifted player who haven't let the story play out. It's looking like Jalen may have turned the corner. He's become a test case for Udoka as a great motivator. This is becoming a good story on 2 fronts and why trading him would have been dumb as ****.

 

Once upon a time, a streak like this would result in threads about wondering if Jalen can keep it up, if hes finally turned the corner, what allowed him to improve, what he can do to sustain this into the next year, something he could not do following his rookie and sophomore hot streaks at end of year.

But in 2024, after just a hot stretch of 10 games, we are talking about how everyone is wrong and should feel bad about being wrong.

 

Udoka benched him but also started him every game.

 

Again this is not true. Jalen has been shooting better since allstar break with Sengun. You keep posting these assertions without proof because you have none. Part of the reason Jalen was such a poor shooter is because he was one of the worst in the league at shooting WIDE OPEN SHOTS. His best shots have been step backs before allstar break. SO what you are saying is not true at all and youre just talking out of your ass. Two games ago Jalen had one of his horrible 4-14 three point games without Sengun and no one cared because we won. You really need to stop making **** you ****ing troll.

 

Keep white-knighting for Jalen and defend him for playing like a girl during his bad streak. I can guarantee you, if anyone were to tell him he played like a girl, Jalen wouldn't give a s*** either or would confirm that yea he was playing too soft.

Oh no, you pulled out the "I work in sports with youth development" card. Big whoopdeedoo. If you actually played or worked in any serious sports environment, we would say stuff 100x more offensive than telling someone off for playing like a girl. Go to any girls sports team and tell them they are playing like girls? Do you really think they would get offended? Or do you have to tell them they are playing like boys...?

You're the one who assumed I gave basketball analysis. I just stated purely facts - that's not analysis. Jalen Green backed down from Austin Reeves and let him walk all over him - facts. Jalen Green was passive aggressive and blamed Udoka, the pace, the system in post-game pressers - facts. This is not some analysis or critique... it's what happened.

This is my last post on this matter. But seriously, learn to be more lighthearted. It helps. And stop being so oversensitive that you have to oblige yourself to get offended in any way possible for meaningless s***. It's folks like you who think they have to defend everything and everyone for every damn little meaningless thing that you've lost the meaning of what you were actually defending for in the first place. Instead, you make it your mission to try to make everything and everyone around you miserable. Go ahead and call me a bigoted moron and assume everything about me - that sure makes you look so much better right? Funny how you're the first one to attack someone's character every time stuff like this happens... sure makes you look so much more righteous.
