    What do we do if Bruno is out for a while?

    Same as last year, dont play Sengun enough minutes unless he has no choice. Im honestly just tired of Silas at this point. He clearly has his favorites and Sengun isnt one of them.

    I hate to say it because I’m not a fan of his.

    But Tate coming back might be big for us

    Where was Uzi? He can throw is body around a bit but Silas doesn't like him apparently

    Jabari needs to drive to the basket if he’s not making his jump shots.

    Interesting. I’ll take another look at the game some time to see if I’m mistaken on the heights. Adams seemed clearly bigger and taller, but maybe my eyes were deceiving me.

    Adams is bigger overall, but they are within a half inch of each other height wise.
    Adams is a massive individual. Alp has some maturing to do. Really I see Alp filling out to be something like Adams

    people used to say Westbrook was fun to watch back when he was good, but hell nah…Morant is the type of hyper athletic PG that’s genuinely must-see

    the dribble moves, the swag, the body contortions in mid-air, the blocks, the dunks

    he’s crazy quick and athletic, but still plays under control…he’s 1 of those super athletic guards that actually has some craftiness to his game unlike the Westbrook’s and John Wall’s that have come through the league

    okay so the jalen green rookie season way.. whatever. that's dumb. you have to put him in a position to succeed for goodness sake. Let him cook with his midrange turn-around and pick and pops. do something. Some of you people want these players to succeed and prove themselves in the weirdest, hardest fashion.

    last year Jalen in the corner with 17 centers in the paint had to prove himself. it's weird.. im telling you it's weird.

    It's the mentality. Kobe and Mike were never this passive that's all I'm saying. I just want him to shoot more. Only person that loves KPJ more than Silas is green cuz he keeps deferring to him for no reason.

    nobody, and I mean nobody, can stay in front of Green

    Jalen Green gets the ball and says “vroom vroom”

    He’s honestly one of my favorite players to watch. Like tonight, the 49 points is obviously incredible, but he also added a sneaky 8 assists. Just amazing all around.

    Your reply times are down to 3 minutes. Do better

    My point, which was not addressed by you, stands - had the Rockets stopped Morant on that one possession you are still discussing with Eric Gordon or Tari Eason, neither of whom had the faintest prayer of stopping Morant tonight, and neither of whom did stop Morant tonight, at all, he would have merely had 47 points, ceteris paribus.

    Prove me wrong (after at least 5 minutes which is very important)

    1 Nonexistent defense
    2 Sengun cannot make his FTs. What is he, 20% from the charity line?
    3 Why did Ryan Hollins say “I know this is only the preseason “? @ 1 mn to go in 3Q:rolleyes:
    4 Jalen Green looked good
    5 Happy we kept things close
    6 Smith going to mature into a nice 3 pt threat

    no he doesnt. that is not his game. Jabari is dependent on these guards.

    At the very least I am not worried about his shot at all. It will come.
