    A sloppy run organization that traded up to draft a player you love and also made what appears to be 2 other good picks in Green and Christopher.

    Complaining about the new front office when it comes to young players is it a bit ridiculous. KPJ, Tate, KMJ, Green, Sengun, and Christopher have all shined.

    It is also annoying that you can always find more annoying things with what the Rockets did this season.

    None of that is true but it's very evident you don't really know a lot about basketball and you just mainly come in here to try and be funny.

    Hesi?

    Really?

    Now you want to talk about them offering the max to Olidipo?

    Just because a guy has "shined" does not mean they will good NBA players. I think they all CAN be rotational NBA guys but that has yet to be established you do know we have the worst record in the NBA right?

    I agree about Sengun.

    Presti must be turning in his grave right now. How did he let this guy go? I’ll never understand it. He’d probably be averaging 20 8 5 right now for Okc.

    Really liked what I saw from Sengun last night. Sure, it was against an undersized Lakers roster that plays no defense, but his bball instincts have been good all year. He always looks for cutters. That pass to Schroder along the baseline reminded me of that over the head pass from Yao to Moochie Norris. Just beautiful.

    If he ever develops a reliable three point shot he'll be a true mismatch nightmare for opposing teams, but he honestly doesn't even need to. He can already post inside, set hard screens and roll, drive a bit, and pass well already. I can see him hitting Sabonis levels when he physically develops more. He's still only 19 years old.

    because couple of times when he doesn't do it they gonna be caught off guard!
    hes setting up the table wonderfully, and as annoying for the watchers the fakes are as annoying for the defenders, cause they require constant guessing as to what is happening and whats up next, is it a fake or the real shot....its an overload of attention and increasing of possibility of slipping by for the attacker...

    nice way to not really respond to irrefutable arguments i put forth and detailed it for you cleverly, but if you like to pretend to be right and feel good its the right thing to do...
    i will take it as i won this argument and by a huge margin... a blowout win!

    a sloppily run organization...wwesque...penny pinching and not dedicated to detail.....i hope they trade sengun for somebody that fits jalen green more and sengun finds a home where his talents can be better developed and better utilized...
    silas is really the greatest scrub... you have player with such generational talents and abilities and all we got is this? really?!

    I get that and I should have clarified. I think on the plays that he is wide open and the opponent is giving him the 3, I understand he is faking bc he is trying to see if the defender will bite and then he can drive. What I would like to see is for him to have enough confidence to just take that open shot. I think he lacks that confidence and to your point lack of consistent play time plays a factor in that. His stroke is pretty and I think if he had consistent play time and took that shot regularly, he would be in the cwood shooting range atleast .

    you put it nice thank you
    btw
    i am just not a fan of the 3 pointer...with such great handles if they leave him wide open then in 2 dribbles hes at the rim...defense hates that...it tires them out.... they like their guy to fire up the shot, bail them out and be done with it....they hate when someone is patient and methodical with their attack and holding to a possession is a psychological weapon....

    imho 3pointer is for natural shooters and less talented people that have no game.... alpis percentages at the rim are very good and surely above what average 3pt shooter makes...and his FTr is insane, at least it was earlier in the season until he started chucking 3 pointers, so he also may get 3 point play the old way...

    the only downside to this is its harder to do it if its an end of the shotclock situation

    lol foolishness? i am one of the most intelligent people around...
    keep not responding to irrefutable arguments i put forward cause that will save your face

    this is the play you found fault with, described as not a good shot and criticized alpi for lacking decisiveness...lololol you must be basketball genius in the mold of silas


    more decisive player here would miss opportunity for an assist, would run into offensive foul or got stuffed like jalen green did in the beginning with his straight line drives

    note that his possesion started almost from the logo...harden cant do this...at least i have never seen him do this

    MASTERFUL, NATURAL, EFFORTLESS EXECUTION...

    You have no idea what you are talking about and don't know much about actual basketball.

    The sad part is that you think you make sense.

    What the hell does Harden have to do with this?

    Are you just mad libbing now?

    I was only talking about young players and I stated that very clearly. Oladipo is a different conversation.

    I'm sure Green and Christopher are thrilled that they have jiggyfly's "can be a rotational player" stamp of approval.

    How can it be a different conversation when it was the same FO?

    Green has to be considered a bit of a disappointment for a #2 pick and none of these other guys have proven jack **** considering we have the worst record in the NBA.

    What have these young players proven?

    Nice deflection.

    Just like I am sure you saying they have established something means they will have good careers.

    @eliefor3

    he could have risen here and shoot the 3 but this is so much more efficient or it was how he felt in the moment, sometimes a player just doesnt feel like shooting a long bomb
