Message: [QUOTE="Marty Jackson, post: 2059675, member: 2291"] very fair... I think that had you switched Kemba or even Shabazz with Jalen, the outcome may have been different. I'm not making this a comparison of ability other than to say, Kemba and Shabazz had an ability to take the team on their back and carry them. They refused to lose. Whether it was making those on the floor better, or taking the ball into their own hands, there was a confidence in them that they were not going to lose. I think Gray on Houston showed that last night. Tough first half, kept his team close, started to feel it, and then boom! We've seen flashes of that from Jalen, but a game like last night is where we didn't see it (for what ever reason)... Jalen needs to be that player every night. I think he'll get there, but last night should be an example of him not being that leader. Until he does, we're going to see these stretches of pure listlessness. [/QUOTE]
