    We’re talking about the whole season. Not single game cherry picked stats, you imbecile.

    It’s hard bc this roster doesn’t fit. What if we draft Wemby? Are gonna not feature him to cater to Sengun? What about Jalen, KPJ, and Jabari.. too many guys need the ball. Having a center that needs the ball 24/7 only works with one other player that needs the ball, everyone else guys be role players

    Context matters bro. Jokic was missing his 2nd and 3rd best player basically.

    That's like saying Harden should have willed his way past the Warriors when he was missing cp3.

    So disingenuous.

    Awww lol. Disregard all the +/- stats and eye test and just throw out some random metric (VOPTRGZ metrics lol). All in all, the team plays better with Bruno out there

    Bruno just got back from injury lol. Also the team is noticeably playing better with Bruno becoming more healthy. +/- is not cherry picking especially with starters

    It doesn't matter.....they wouldn't have beaten the Warriors with LeBron and
    CP3.

    Rockets have gotten back in both games vs Suns and Warriors when Sengun sat.

    If we draft Wemby, and Silas is still here, do you think he’s going to be utilized?
    Silas has a hard on for KPJ, this is the main problem.

    God, you might be the dumbest poster to come around in a while.
    You’re pounding the +/- single game drum, but when hit with facts about BPM on the season, it doesn’t matter?

    You’re a complete moron

    Nice goal post moving.

    Try to sell your anti sengun nonsense with more disingenuous examples to someone else

    Of course it's explicable - just not to you. I don't have proper training for communicating with this level of special needs.

    The team is not noticeably better with Bruno, he’s had a solid game and a game last night where he was a non factor.
    The game before that he was one of the worst players on the court.

    Bruno is a high energy big, not a starter, and nowhere near the player Alp is.

    Absolutely bc he’s the type of player Silas likes. He’s a way better Kristaps, his offense would flow like he wants. That’s where my issue would be with trying to fit Sengun in. The Bruno stuff is silly bc he’s not that good lol. I’m more worried if we draft Wemby, even Scoot or Nick Smith tbh.

    Stupidity. Just the threat of the lob opens up the floor. Bruno was still +6 in a game we lost by 20. Sengun's post ups gave us -24

    He's just getting back from energy. As Bruno becomes healthier, it won't be close anymore. Bruno is better for the team. Sengun is better for himself

    Well one player doesn't fit. Sengun.

    Stats show Silas liked the PnR while with Dallas....very little
    Post Ups and Isolations.

    People here complain about Isolations being stagnant....watching a guy dribble
    the air out of the ball.

    Well what do people think Post Ups does? Teammates don't want to cut
    and bring defenders to the paint and cause more congestion in the paint.
    Things become stagnant.

    Rockets try to score Rim, 3's and FT's......(little to no mid-range)

    When Sengun site you can see the PnR and an uptick in attacking the
    rim-resulting in greater amount in FT's

    What Silas likes shouldn’t matter.
    He’s a terrible coach. Any coach that can’t fit talent together isn’t worth keeping around.

    And I can guarantee you if he plays Wemby like he did Porzingis, people are going to be pissed. KPJ is not Luka, hell he’s not even a poor man’s Mitchell. He’s a 6th man

    Stop with this nonsense.

    This team needs to prioritize their talent. And that’s Green, Alp and Jabari. Their growth is more important than Bruno’s fit with KPJ.

    Green and Alp are the future. Not an inferior guard and “lob threat” with poor defense and rebounding
