    Why didn't you mention Sengun's atrocious defense?

    I agree! From what I’ve seen from a very small sample size, Tate’s shot looks much better and he shot like 38% from 3 after the ASB. I have that problem with players too and I feel like Sengun is gonna wanna play his own style. That’s why I want Brandon Miller in the draft if we miss out on Wemby! I would love a legit 6’9” SF

    @maj21

    I can imagine

    KPj (6'6")
    Jalen Green (6'6")
    Cam Whitmore (6'7")
    Jabari (6'11")
    Sengun (6'10")

    I wanted Hyland Bones to guard point guards but he went earlier and we settled for JC.

    Get me a backup PG/combo guard (3&D) and a rim protecting Center and we will be in business.

    JC was a horrible pick. I wanted Cam Thomas there. Can Cam Whitmore space the floor? Also, green and KPJ are 6’4”… I noticed against Philly that harden is a lil taller and they’re barely taller than EG :(

    Yes, he can space the floor.

    He will end up in the mold of Tatum/Jaylen Brown
    but more power.

    Hartenstein averaged 24 pts and 15 rebs and looked like Wilt while in the G-league.

    I will settle for Brad Miller (Sengun)

    Its funny how the Spurs ran ISO ball and won with it and everyone says they have such a great system .... while the tired ass narrative is that all the Rockets do is ISO KPJ all game long ..... when the reality is they only ISO 8 possessions a game and KPJ is responsible for 3 of those.

    Damn the stats, narrative over context.

    I've been agreeing with a lot lately.

    Keep up the good work

    Doncic by himself is 8.0 per game.
    Embiid is 7.1
    Harden is 7.4
    SGA is 6.2

    KPj 3.4
    Jalen Green 2.7
    EG 1.3

    Except it’s not facts.
    And don’t be agreeing with that idiot, you become an idiot by association.
    As a spurs fan you can’t afford anymore knocks on your character

    You SOF can’t ever admit when he does something wrong, like he’s the only flawless player in the league. Let that man spit his facts!

    No. The priority is a top 5 pick.


    At least from the Rockets perspective.


    PS. We need more season analysis from people who have watched one game this season. Everyone create your own thread after one game.

    French tv broadcasted a second Rockets game yesterday and I got to watch my second game of the season. (Lucky streak)

    Great defensive efforts, much better than against the Spurs
    A few rotations were missed but mostly due to miscommunication
    We have to defend the 3pts line better! We were lucky enough that the Suns were shooting atrociously from the 3.
    Great hustle by Smith, Eason, Bruno and the team in general
    We won this game thanks to great defense most of all
    Nix still plays like crap. He started off with 2 3pts so I had hope...but then 4 horrible passes (3 TO). You can’t trust him to lead the offense

    Great win and gives hope for the future!
