    Green is playing like how he did last year this time. It's both comforting and concerning. Comforting because we saw him improve drastically later. Concerning because he seems to not have learned much after a full season.

    People have become so soft and hypersensitive as how NBA is like now. Even with a little criticism, they want to ignore you , shut you down, bury you even before trying to understand what you mean. The very same people are the flag bearers of “democracy”. It’s a shame to live in the Age of hypocrisy and doublespeak.

    I hate saying this, but if im being completely unbiased, feel like kpj and jalen just care about individual stats most of the time....feel bad for jabari who tbh doesnt deserve to play on a backcourt that comes off as selfish...their lack of self awareness especially kpj has made watching the rockets just plain boring lately...lack of accountability and coaching is terrible as well so that doesnt help...players dont play as a team...kpj had 2 assists last night, thats ur "point guard"

    Jalen and KPJ are part of the problem and have been terrible, but I also feel bad for them that Jabari bricks every time they pass him the ball.

    Part of it is he hardly touches the ball so he cant ever get into a rhythm

    It’s a consistent problem with the Silas AAU pickup ball style of play. A player like Jabari who has a lot of pressure on himself is just naturally going to press to get shots up when he gets the ball when he’s just not normally the type of player that would bode well in pickup basketball.

    Silas is a big part of the problem. Not having a true PG who can quarterback the offense and get a rhythm is problem 1B.

    You can say that about every bad team in history. Their best players only cared about their individual #'s. From Kobe, to LeBron to Mike to Wilt. All had selfish labels. Hell, even Hakeem in the bad years leading up to the trade demand.

    Losing is losing and i want Wemby, but there's been tons of losing teams who were fun to watch and held excitement for the future. Silas is impeding that excitement for all of us and that's by trying to make this lifetime assistant head coaches project of turning KPj into Luka or Harden from fantasy to reality.
    I rooted for him to get the gig, now he's the worst head coach we have ever had and this is the most unwatchable team we have ever had in my lifetime and that's insane because we have so many young players i absolutely love. We dont have a chance at Cade or Paolo so you wanted Mobley and others? They suck here and our guys succeed elsewhere making you wish we drafted them only to suck here too. It's a circle of suck with Silas at the core.

    At this point you won't let Alpy succeed because it doesn't work for your KPj pg project, so F IT. I dont care anymore. Let Green run with Alpy, and Tari and Garuba off the bench. Sink with your ship Silas, just don't kill the crew in the process.

    Wemby going to be reduced to KPjs PnR lob threat and a stationary lamp post for desperation kick outs under Silas.

    Clown show.

    They were moving the ball better this game. Would have been nice to see what Bari could have done with that type of flow. Let's see if the ball moves as much when he's back and what he does with that.

    Except the first game ( demotion, low spirits) Sengun played 1 TO /game. It is nearly perfect.

    His assist number should be around 6 per game. But assist is not only Sengun's problem. Rockets is at dead bottom. KPJ finished last game with 2 assists. TWO ASSISTS.

    I think he's playing much better than he was last year at this time. I mean he's averaging 20/game.

    averaging 20 per game with high volume is meaningless if you aren't efficient. Jalen is a net negative player right now, one of the worst in the entire NBA.

    You're comparing all of last season with the first 10 games of this season. I was comparing only the first 10 games of last season to this season so far. You're not understanding what I was trying to say in my original comment.
