    This is also kinda silly. Green is dangerous in the pick and roll. Why regulate him to being essentially a 6th man?

    Its as simple as on possessions that are initiated by a defensive rebound, Green pushes the pace and possessions that start from an inbounds pass off a opponent make you run a half court set around Sengun?

    Its funny for months we've been telling people if Jalen played better we're a playoff team and now that its clear we were right instead of admitting they were wrong its blame sengun lol

    Coach Ime, you guys are familiar with him? When baited by Ross on 790 to answer on Meshing ALpi and Green's game.
    "We were 4-1 when he went down. We were already playing at a faster pace coming out of the break. Even when Jalen wasn't playing well, he was getting open shots. The only thing that has change without Alpi is those open threes from the post. They can compliment each other very well."


    It's why we can't have good things with some in this fanbase some don't deserve it. Any other team would kill to have so many talented young players in 'phase 2'.

    Lol no one was disagreeing that they would win more if green played better, the disagreement was over rather he actually can play better.
    Most people were in the camp of he can't play better but if he did we would be doing better. So the folks now who are in the green camp are sort of pointing a finger to say yall were wrong about him being able to play better

    Btw it doesn't take a genius to figure out if your number 2 pick plays like a number 2 pick, then the team will win more

    Also I bet you most people claiming rockets playing better if green played better prob didn't configure rockets playing better and senguin being out.

    Only stupid people think we can be a really good team with only one all-star caliber player. Just look around the league. You’re not winning with one all-star or star player on the team. The Rockets are playing better, but last I checked we’re still a lottery team.

    Seeing news about a possible regular season return for Sengun. If the Rockets are still playing well I dont think it would be a good idea to bring him back. As a matter of fact I think it would be best to sit him out til next season. We cant have Jalen deferring to him during a playoff run.

    Stop it. Green isn’t Jordan. Alp isn’t either.

    He's one of the biggest trolls on here when it comes to Alpi along with the OP. The point was made earlier that we've also been doing this without Tari for even longer but he didnt want to admit that because he is only gunning for Sengun lol Its pathetic.

    No need to jump the gun but if they struggle to mesh once Sengun comes back then the team needs to consider trading one of Jalen or Sengun. I don’t wish this to happen btw.

    No, you give it time because that's the highest upside play here.
