    I'd honestly rather have the LOF's back. They were somehow more tolerable than these SOF's.

    Sad because Sengun actually has promise to be one of the centerpieces of a elite team unlike Lin.

    You're quoting me acting as if I've ever said those things.

    Next time you're going to try to be funny, try to come back with something I've actually said, it'll serve your purpose a tad better.

    What's even funnier though, is what goes on between Green's ears, whenever he's presented with a screen. Either offensive or defensive, it makes no difference. He doesn't know how to read either of them.

    Next time try reading a little better. I literally put 'we have posters' spamming and didn't hint anything close to saying you were saying those things. Try again.

    Swing and a miss.

    Because everyone knows you quote someone's comment directly, when you're talking about other people and not them, right?

    Woeful attempt to deflect.

    I did notice one of the 5 people who think KPJ is the franchise saviour though likes your posts, that tells me all I need to know about who you are though, as if your posts already didn't.

    Lol the point he's making is that you are swinging at air and yelling at it like a schizo.

    Who is coming in and saying Green "is the best" after one game. Some people commented he had a good game and it's promising. Is that like offensive to you? .

    Are people who support Green spamming threads labeled "GREEN IS OUR FRANCHISE PLAYER!"?

    This is what I mean by you being a schizo and what @marky :) is referring to. You just found an excuse to be angry. At least reply to a comment as an example of what you mean here in your conniption fit.

    If you could actually read and maybe have some basic comprehension, you'll see that I've been an advocate of Sengun and have realistic expectations of KPJ. So once again try again.

    It really is out of control. Even Clutch last night admitted subtlety that he's holding back being honest about a few things because he knows what type of blowback he'll get. When someone like Dave can't even talk freely you know it's bad.

    This crap is out of control dude. You guys have lost your damn minds.

    Nobody is conspiring to ruin Sengun's career to prop up anothers. Most of us here are just simply Rockets fans, and don't have an "only fan" agenda.

    This is by far the worst team in the league. EVERYONE deserves criticism.... especially the fandom at the moment which seems to have lost their freaking minds.

    If I'm going to make an assumption, it's genuine criticism of Sengun.

    Probably about him being a poor floor spacer and a poor rim protector.

    But that's the thing. I'm sure Clutch loves Sengun and thinks he's a core part of this team's future success but we just can't have basic simple criticisms of Sengun.

    I can't speak for Clutch and what he was referring to, but I can speak from experience that with this current only fans cult if you say the name Sengun, and not every single word is 100% positive, you will be attacked. That's just a fact.

    Criticism is different than flat out fabrication.
    Bottom line is there are just as many posters on this forum that denigrate Alp (because he doesn’t fit what they think an NBA center should be/look like) that overrate him.
    But y’all only speak on one side of that.

    I am a Rockets fan. End of story. But there’s one building block that gets more hate than any other. And it’s not Green or Bari.

    Those are valid concerns, even if they aren’t all the way true.
    But………it doesn’t come across as criticism when the critique isn’t the same for players that are worse defensively and “shooters” that can’t shoot

    It is a bit extreme with some of them. There’s also some extreme criticism that isn’t based in truth.

    We have posters actively trying to trade Alp for Mark freaking Williams. A guy that just started playing for one of the worst teams in the league.

    Alpi only fans need to learn of the story of the man who met multiple assholes in a day.

    If the first person you meet for the day was an *******, they probably were the *******. If by the end of the day everyone you met you thought was an *******, you probably were the *******.

    Clutch has always felt that way about Sengun, he’s said it many times in the past. I also feel the same way. We just gotta figure it out and get some help. If you’re gonna have him on the floor, you gotta have a team around him to cover for his weaknesses

    At this point those are people trolling Sengun fans and it's like one dude who suggested it.
