Jalen Greenâs playoff debut for the Houston Rockets against the Golden State Warriors revealed both the immense potential and the challenges faced by the young team. Faced with nerves, Green struggled in Game 1 but rebounded in Game 2, demonstrating his scoring ability. However, as the playoffs progressed, he faltered again, raising questions about the teamâs readiness for the title contention. Green's performances emphasize the need for the Rockets to develop an elite offensive strategy as they continue their rebuilding journey from the James Harden era.
The nerves were evident in the 23-year-old Green's inefficient performance. He scored only seven points on 3-of-15 shooting in Houston's 95-85 loss.
I'm gonna go out and handle business at the end of the day. The ball is gonna be in my hands in the fourth quarter, and we're gonna make something happen.
This postseason debut for Green and several other young core players for the Houston Rockets, a franchise whose painful rebuilding process is just beginning to pay dividends.
The question remains glaring: How can the Rockets get the elite offensive engine that they're still missing?
