    good game, just saw a glimpse of the game. Segun is really good. That Banchero guy is very fast and agile for a 6'10'' guy.

    Good we won, losing streaks can get to you. Also not playing well in case of Jabari. Might need to draft Scoot more than Wemby to unlock Jabari’s potential. However, tonight was pretty clear we need an intimidating big man like Wemby if we’re ever going to compete.

    At this point I’m really not happy with Gordon, KPJ & Jabari. Really happy with Tari, Martin Jr, Sengun, Garuba & Green. Indifferent to Nix & Matthews. Once we get a good coach and add that high pick next year, it’s time to win, but we need to start building winning habits.

    Despite our win, we were begging for the Magic to beat us. It was embarrassing to see KPJ on Banchero, Sengun getting abused, no help defense / rotation or too late & Jabari fouling like he doesn’t know position defense. KPJ almost lost us the game single handedly.

    As far as Banchero goes, the worst part is I allowed myself to be convinced that he lacks the right mentality, effort on defense and a high motor. As if Jabari has some crazy motor…Haven’t seen the effort and fire from Jabari at all while Banchero shows the passion. So take that whichever way you want.

    I hope we trade Gordon soon and start Tari because this small **** ain’t working.

    sounds like a coaching problem and lack of experience/PT ...should have taught him that last year already.....

    because no way my boy alpi is dumb!... hes a smart kid, athletic and able bodied ....
    should have taught him that last year already

    but how? how when you played him 6 minutes or 12 minutes a night most of the nights so you can play david nwaba, danuel theis etc...

    and where is david nwaba now??

    and why you preferred developing david nwaba over my boy sengun?

    well this is the problem with high volume 3 pt shooters...if the shots dont fall then its a problem...and it affects the psyche.... but by definition 3 pt is a volatile weapon and should be used in moderation...thats why playmaking, teamplay, defense, versatility etc are such a great tools you can turn to, whenever your aiming mechanism is off, to find that confidence and not shoot your team out of the game...a big problem harden had btw

    Nah lol. He's just not a good defender at all. Stop giving Sengun a pass for everything

    First y'all whine about him not getting enough PT, then when he gets PT it's "lack of experience" and still the coach's fault? Hold him accountable like yall do everyone else lol

    It wasn't national necessarily, it was Clutch among others.

    When 3pt shots fall, Rockets have a chance to win. When they dont, they straight up lose. Sums up the current Rockets.

    lol what?! hes a good defender and has a great defensive potential...hes tall athletic quick and agile dude...strong like a horse...hesa team player..high iq guy.... just has to be taught some things and gain experience... hes not stupid, weak, small or lazy...

    you my friend had to fall and stumble for a full year before you learned to walk...youd never have learned to walk if your parents restricted you to trying to walk 6 or 12 minutes a night...and that was the case with alpi for the greater part his nba journey...

    he only played like 2 dozens of full NBA games... this is his rookie season basically! and the team is tanking so you also have to understand if hell pick and choose where to put his energy and emphasis as well.. AND HE WAS PUNISHED FOR PLAYING GOOD DEFENSE last year at the start of the season by being denied PT and awarded a lesser role...so of course, youve got what youve asked for...
