Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green was brutally honest about how he felt he played during his team's seven-game first-round playoff series loss to the Golden State Warriors, as noted to reporters. In Game 2, Green scored 38 points on 13-of-25 shooting to lead Houston to a 109-94 win over the Warriors.

The 23-year-old was mostly invisible in the seven-game loss to the Warriors — aside from a 38-point outburst in Game 2.

Jalen Green's flameout against the Warriors in the playoffs might have sent the Rockets a clear signal about the viability of building around him as a long-term fixture.
