    Hard to believe Jalen Green has not been isolated on defense as much.

    Agree! I love me some shooters and we've finally unleashed Brooks, allowed G-Man to deal and even Gordon has found some consistency.

    Too many offensive rebs w/o Scoot in the lineup (it seems), but yeah defensively we've taken it up a notch and the boys are riding that winning high to squash team's runs. The Nets will be a much tougher challenge. Maybe Tate can get in Durant's grill and Mathews can get Harden to run over him a few times--get the All-Stars frustrated and see what happens.

    The Nets don't have a consistent big man. Aldridge still has some offensive punch, but doesn't have much to offer on the defensive end. Maybe CWood and Sengun can hurt them.

    I think it was a numbers game in DC , as good as he played and the rest of the roster made it difficult for them to keep him.
    I read that too .... Obviously he didn't feel he would get a shot in Boston with such a deep team , when no other team made an offer he took the Rockets two way and the rest is history.

    I don't know what the hell gave him the idea that he could supplant the #2 pick in the draft here ..... but he did just that.


    They'll have to clear a roster spot before they can sign him to an actual NBA contract as they currently have the max 15 contracts on the books.

    Time to cut House ....

    Dude, I know you hate Silas. But if you are criticizing Silas for playing Sengun so little, you've got to give him some credit for playing Mathews so much. You can't have it both ways. LOL.

    James Harden hasn't won a single quarter since facing Garrison Mathews.

    Not sure he's an X factor as much as a freaking all-star. Who the F is this guy? A few weeks ago I was like who is the scrub the Rockets just signed?

    LOL i rooted for playing mathews when silas didnt even wanted to play him

    btw you can improve thinking skills by trying to imagine playing both sengun and mathews

    btw 2 i dont even hate silas actually i respect him and kinda like a lot of his features and the comment you cited didnt even have nothing to do with critiquing silas i was just being pictoresque in explaining to appache or whomever why its legit possible for a good player to slips tru the cracks because if its possible for sengun like talent to be neglected then its even more possible for someone of mathews caliber
