Houston Rockets GM Rafael Stone Asked About Jalen Green Lineup Data #rockets #nba #jalengreen

uh this is for both of you guys There’s a decent amount of lineup data that suggests this team has performed better without Jaylen Green on the court this season How do you how much do you incorporate that kind of data into your decision-making process moving forward be it roster construction coaching decisions that kind of thing Yeah that’s a really flawed question So like we have there’s there’s there there’s there’s great data that we have and we use Um but and I can uh one of my f you may would know one of my favorite things I tell them when when when we have a new when we have new coaches join my my one of my favorite things to tell them is I can make data say whatever I want it to say Um and uh and so you know I think um you know we we heavily use it but but we’re very careful um to try and really parse it out And I would say that um um I I would say that that that that some of our very best lineups include him And so uh so so that that that piece by itself I just think that’s just Yeah that’s just that’s just not correct

  1. Lmao was that captain jack asking the question? Way to go bro! Clearly stone was shook 🤣

  2. It's only a "flawed question" when you can't give a straight answer. Stone knows Green is gone.

  3. I truly think this series put a flame into Jalen green. Y’all gonna see. Everybody hating now, will have them apology letters ready when we get back to the playoffs next season. He was given a rude awakening of his game, yes. But that tells him there’s work to be done. This whole offseason will be a grind. He will lead us back to the 1-2 seed and get us to the WCF next season at minimum vs the wolves

  4. you can see that he is trying too hard to chose his words when he is answering that question, and thats understandable, you cant shit on a player you want to trade, jalens trade value is already fcked, he dont want to fck it more 😀

  5. He was trying to figure out how he was going to answer that question while he was answering it and didn’t it end well.

  6. As soon as he processed what you were saying he looked away. I bet it was so he could prepare an answer but he still fumbled

  7. He’s been having nightmares of this question😂😂😂thanks Jackson and the fans appreciate you for putting Rafael on record with the million dollar question and didn’t say much, but it was entertaining seeing him sweat 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  8. Stoned stone per usual. Can’t let go of his mistake at Pick 2. I see why him and Ime get along, neither want to take any accountability😂

  9. This dude asking questions always hating on Jalen green.. his waiting for Jalen green to failed

  10. Smfh. Trying to make it seem like JG4 was the ENTIRE reason the Rockets lost this series is beyond me. Ngl I’m kinda tired of people forgetting this team/franchise has only been playing meaningful basketball for two years now. To expect Green to play out his mind in his first ever playoff series is INSANE especially when GSW game planned to take him out of the series ENTIRELY. He got off in game two and EVERY single one of you praised him. Y’all weird and yeah I’m lowkey pissed for him because he’s not being gave a fair shot given the circumstances. If he gets traded to another team I don’t want to hear nothing from none of you when he figures it out. Respectfully. 🚀🚀⬆️⬆️

  11. I wouldn’t trade him 🤷🏻‍♂️But he needs to get stronger atleast 20 pounds he’s just too small 👀

  12. It was the only question what Rafael Stone was not prepared for xD That was a big big swing try to answer your beautiful question. He was really swimming xD Thank you for that Jackson!

  13. What’s the intent behind this question though lol i know some folks will be happy you asked but you can see why some ppl find it as a flawed question. It just can come off as you clearly wanting him off the team, but he’s not going to throw Green under the bus lol

  14. Tough question dude!
    I get the feeling that Stone’s answer/reaction was masking a little bit of anger.
    It’s tough to be patient when we were so close to redemption.
    But I think Jalen listens to Ime.
    Maybe a glimmer of hope there?

  15. He’s right. It’s kind of part of my job at the company I work for. I can pick and choose particular facts about a product to make it seem better than it actually is. I can also pick and choose particular facts that make Michael Jordan look like one of the worst basketball players that’s ever played. If the person that’s making, the decisions is not using the same calculated results that I’m using, then I’m asking him a theoretical question. Yes, using that data would lead to show Jalen Green should not be in the rotation. But what you did, was push your selective data in his face and ask him why the players that they chose to start is still starting. Everything in this world has ran off of metrics or numbers that are selectively chosen.

  16. Media always looking basis from one latest particular game loss.. predicting and judge easily the outcome of entire next decade of franchise turn into hopeless in the future of a 2 yr old Team 🤷🏻‍♂️

  17. Honestly, Stone was kind of an a hole here for calling that a flawed question. Its not a flawed question. Its a flawed player. And all the people in the room laughing? Shills.

    Could've gave the same answer he did without the extra crap.

    Honestly he kind of just lost me as a fan. What a doucher.

  18. What did the data say in his playoff performance Stone? SG about to make 30mil a year averaging like 10 points?
