    People keep on saying Jokic but he's definitely more athletic than him. What makes Jokic Jokic is what's in his head. We'll see if Sengun has that type of IQ.

    Need a bigger sample size obviously but the Rockets fortunately look like an NBA team with KPJ at point guard. He might have a real future there.

    If Sengun doesn't get more than 5 minutes in the second half I am starting a petition to fire Stephen Silas. Calling on all other SOFs to follow me in this, thank you.

    he definitely has it however they constantly freezing him out...shooting long 3s over the hand of defenders instead of involving sengod to create easy shots for them

    I mean Jokic is also one of the most skilled players in this game. He's not "athletic" in the traditional sense but he is very coordinated and has unbelievable touch.

    Probably Silas using this game to see more how Theis plays, and then use the next games to give Alp more minutes.

    But liking what I saw, even Ryan Hollins is not so bad. He did play for a lot of teams during his time in NBA, so we will hear more reference "he was a teammate of mine"

    It'll take some time. Took the Nuggets two seasons to realize they had gold in Jokic

    Rockets need to play faster, this team is built to play up tempo.

    And their PnR looks jenky.

    If we can avoid long losing streaks(5+) , I feel confident we can win 35-40 games...
