    cmon CV is everything to these people
    you tell me jalen green had better the '51OO/49OD' performance than alpi in first 2 months last season?! no way

    they denied alpi of ROY and proper development just because of CV...

    people will still gloss over this and get back to the lack of athleticism nonsense the first time silas plays sengun 6 minutes for the night or out of his role and he losses his rhythm because of it...

    these people also witnessed injured cp3 beating lebron in playoffs (and it couldnt be greater difference in athleticims, defense and shooting ability than that) , playing literally on one hand, not even shooting at all... and they still believe in the athleticism, 3 and D dogma because their brains lack the ability to update its software....

    yes, the brains is the greatest muscle of them all....

    I mean, it is okay to think that Sengun can come off the bench, it is an opinion, it has its merits. But to blame the people who think Sengun starting is the corect move for the rockets was not okay:

    What merits gentleman and what is the opportunity cost of this demotion?

    Expected Rockets plan before season: Develop JGreen,Jabari,Sengun and Tari first ( but not only, Josh,KMJ,Garuba,Bruno,Nix also to be given good chances) and try to get best possible from KPJ, draft another star in 2023, be ready compete after that.

    What really happened: Demote Sengun, keep Jabari lonely, don't give enough minutes to Tari whether he plays very good or not, don't help JGreen, cry for KPJ and make him "Primus inter pares".

    Result : Unhappy Sengun, Jabari,JGreen, Jabari and JGreen argued, no good contact between Sengun and JGreen, wasted Tari, upgraded KPJ and Hawks&Celtics reject new Messiah Bruno (I personally like Bruno and want him to be successful back-up), invisible Josh Christopher, Ego the primary ballhandler (or Field Marshall Tank Commander). Merits and costs?

    There is an old proverb: The stone you throw is worthless if it even does not scare the frog.You can make lots of alteration but should be a threat to the opponents. What Rockets do now is just another "BBQ chicken baby" for the other teams.

    Team was not progressing when Alpi subbed. Jabari looks like hopeless, JGreen became a questionmark, Josh disappeared, Tari underused.

    No Sengun, no joy.Simple.

    Two obvious things are:

    1) KPJ&Bruno plays pnr better than KPJ&Sengun
    2) Bruno is better certain aspects of defense, mainly more of a rim protector than Sengun

    If these are your absolute priorities and the only way you use Sengun is as an occasional post-up, then it might make sense, though I would not call it insightful.

    So, we agreed finally. Play Bruno for KPJ, play Sengun for Rockets.

    What is your/Houston priority? KPJ or Rockets.Decide.

    How is this different than the thing I am criticizing, blaming someone not be a Rockets fan because he has a different opinion? I am saying I understand that some people might think running Bruno&KPJ more might be better for Houston, but I do not agree with it at all. Or are you begin sarcastic? I could not figure out.

    Although I do sarcasm sometimes (when needed), I don't think I was sarcastic to you ever.

    I support Rockets since late 70s/early 80s and don't like anyone arguing my bond. Don't care also. That kind of times I might be sarcastic, not in a normal interaction.If I was ever against you, sorry.

    it should be kind of alarming that Silas preferred to cater to KPJ development instead of Sengun's. The decision to start Bruno was 100% for KPJ.

    Silas believes our team success is based around KPJ's growth.

    If he wasn’t obsessed with a mentally challenged player, things would have been much better for the team. It’s ridiculous

    the thing is nba is a corrupt circus and his paycheck is not dependant on what hes obsessed with...if it were, oh! silas would be playing alpi 40 minutes a night and would arrange the entire system around him...
    this way hes more careful to tiptoe around players agents, vets, and whoever else than play to win...

    He does not like high IQ you mean :)
    May be he wants like-minded folks around.This is the prerequisite for any company/club/organization/academia to collapse.

    What about sending him some P.Drucker, M.Porter books? May be help.
