There is a lot to look for when Rockets superstar Jalen Green plays in his first playoff game today. Green has had a sensational season, averaging 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. Head coach Ime Udoka has challenged Green to step up and take his game to another level in the playoffs.

“I think it helps a lot defensively especially rebounding so we can get out and run. Just making the right reads and scoring going to come as its more about finding ways to get guys involved. Especially when the double and trap or whatever is coming and just being a dog defensively and helping out,” said Green.

Many pundits think the Warriors will win the series because of their experience and the supporting cast around Stephen Curry along with Draymond Green. Jalen and the Rockets are coming into the series very focused and not focused on what others are saying.

“The main thing is to just stay focused, not feed into antics and stuff, just prove it on the court. Defensively, offensively rebounding, communicating, and overall togetherness,” said Green.

The Rockets will need Green to have a huge series to have any chance of winning it. This series will go along way in defying Green playoff legacy.
