    That’s exactly my point! Some thinks he’s better than Zion lol. With his game as is, he’s not gonna be able to get up shots like that. When we need a bucket late in a game with limited time, we can’t let him do 5 twists and turns to get off a baby hook.

    He can shoot. Certainly better than Jabari, and Jabari is not stopping. For whatever reason, he passes them up quite often. I think it's the short leash from the coach. We will know more next year.

    One thing they don’t wanna admit is that KPJ, Jalen, Silas, and whoever are the problem!! But guess what?! Sengun is part of the problem as well!!

    I think it is due to coaching. Hopefully we’ll see what it is first game next season.

    regardless of the reason, I think almost everyone thinks
    1) he should extend his range
    2) improve his defense

    on top of this, I think the most important thing is to maximize his offensive potential. Again something I am looking forward to for the next coach.

    I have come to the decision about a month ago to put the extremists on ignore. While these posters aren't always wrong and sometimes they post some useful info, I realized that if I "liked" their posts, I am encouraging their extremist movement and I would be lumped together as "they." And sometimes when I read outrageous posts from them, I couldn't help but responded, which would inevitably create even more outrageous posts.

    When I turned off these extreme posters, I get a fairer picture of how the board view the players and the team. I suggest y'all do the same.

    no, its not like that at all ....there are vmany moderate posters here i would even say the majority of the board is the inbetween guys...

    imho green wood and kpj are the problems were and are the problem because they are cancers, not team players like tari and sengun...they just care about personal statpadding, if you watch sengun youll notice he cares about others shots and their game more than of his own...always quick to move the ball and set others with opportunity to shoot even directing the traffic showing them literally where to go ....now this is how you play some real basketball!

    Some of them. There aren't many real extremists. Just because someone has an opinion I don't agree doesn't make them extremist. Trust me, it's not that easy to make my ignore list.

    Sengun is playing very well... and I root for all current Rocket players... but if he's our franchise guy then our team is in trouble for years to come.

    Seems a little odd to blame a coach while simultaneously acknowledging the roster is rife with question marks.
    It's like some of you are mystified why these caterpillars turn chrysalises aren't butterflies already and blaming the tree.
