    Quite frankly outside Rocket fandom, I've never seen anyone say something negative about Sengun. Everyone I've seen mention him love his game. His likeability rating is like a 98 now.

    No way did anyone here called sengun an overhyped bust, that's such an exaggeration

    There are a few haters here like this maj21 kid and whoever started the "simply not good enough" thread. Ah yes, and Silas.

    But, but, but... Sengun can't play defense! ;)
    Jabari is going to be a defensive force in this league, he just needs time to develop.

    5 blocks tonight in 26 minutes.

    If ****ing Silas had given him the 10 more minutes he should have gotten, he would have had a stat line of 24/12/7

    Silas puts Alpi down every single time he can.

    Why are the reporters never asking him about this bullshit.

    We won though. I'm not going to try to defend Silas's rotation decisions but Garuba was having a good night (on both ends of the floor). I don't think it had anything to do with Alpi (because he was having another good night as well) as much as it had to do with how well Garuba was playing defensively... and... we won.

    Yes, but Silas ALWAYS does it, whether we are winning or losing. The two guards can do whatever the heck they want, no matter how many mistakes they make...and Alpi is somehow always on this weird super short leash, like he is deliberately holding him back.

    Can y’all be a fan of the rockets and be happy that they won, instead of being upset over one player? We won’t get many of these this season, enjoy it!

    Especially KPJ gets unlimited credit no matter how many mistakes he makes game after game but when Alpy makes one, he got to be benched and his minutes get trimmed immediately. That doesn't make any sense.

    Would you say the same thing if Silas benched KPJ at crunch time and we won? ;)

    The playing on the second night of a b2b without their best player is hardly a win worth celebrating. We shoulda beat them by 30... :)

    Not as easy as saying that. they still had some good players and had way more shots than us. they chose to hold Luka out, that is their fault for gambling
