    If we lose to every team except Detriot we will be set up for a good pick.

    Hopefully the next top 5 pick is as good as Green Sengun.

    So you are saying its purely coincidence that the 19 year old rookie starter with basically the worst +/- on the team goes down with injury and we start winning?

    That's an honest question.

    In any case, I still think we should tank this year regardless.

    I honestly think we would have won at least some or all even if green wasn't injured. We played bottom feeders in this win streak and team that had a b2b
    To attribute green being out as the main reason for this win streak r simply folks who have some weird hatred/dislike for green

    Or if we WIN against every team except Detriot we will be set up for a good play off spot.

    Don't count Green out yet. Remember he's 19 but most of all he's a Rocket

    This response reeks and its like most of the replies on here biased and clueless. Did you read my reply earlier if so you would know why they are so successful now. Its funny I said with more spacing (taking theis out because i hated silas rotations) that the rockets would have won atleast 4 more games. I said this before this win streak. "t*** not silas rotations" blah blah Ofcourse biased people on this stupid board were saying its Jalen then too. First game we get spacing and both kpj and jalen look great. jalen gets injured but in a couple of games so do kpj and wood. We still win, and idiots are still like well duh its all jalens fault. Im not even sure why i keep coming back on here. its like entertainment. like watching a train wreck or idiots getting into fights in bars you just cant turn away lol People will be wrong on here and try so hard to make truth fit into lies. People flat out lie on this site just to win an argument with someone who already knows they are full of ****. Its just hilarious here. every post is like dumb and dumber and dumberer. "duh taking theis out wont do anything duh" LMAO "oh well its not the spacing its jalen er dur" lol "we have to get rid of kpj der eh duhh" lol

    ****ing vitriol by internet tough guys is ridiculous. Calling people b****es and p*****s because of disagreements about a game played by teenagers. Some of you need to pump the brakes.

    True. Sengun has a few years on him.

    I am not counting him out I just think Sengun is our franchise player.

    It may have been the spacing and we’d have still won these games with Jalen and making the move with Wood at Center, but your logic is completely backwards here.

    There is only one guy who was playing a lot of minutes when we were the worst team in the league who hasn’t played at all other than one quarter during the win streak.

    Other guys have missed games here and there but the one constant in the win streak from a personnel stand point is no Jalen. It’s pretty easy to isolate.

    The one constant in the win streak is that we have more space so the entire team is playing better. Our players have been interchangeable. Logic isnt backwards because you dont understand it. Your thinking is limited by bias. Us going 1-16 isnt on one player thats ridiculous.

    Green’s return will probably answer this question for me.

    If Jalen is going to look like a future MVP when he returns as the Green Gang suggests, then honestly having the core of him, Wood, KPJ, and Sengun is probably good enough to roll with as a core and we can just win some games and see if that can get us to the play in.

    If Green’s future as a potential franchise player looks as dicey as it did before the injury, then we really need another shot at a top 5 pick and he’ll help lose the games to get there.

    I didn’t say Green being the one guy out is definitive that he was the issue, but if you think us winning without other guys missing a game here and there indicates the issue was not Green then you are willfully not looking at it the right way to trouble shoot.
