    1. Our 3-pt% sucks.
    2. Why is Alpi at the 3-pt line anyway? What's this infatuation with the 5-men-out BS?

    Way worse gets said about KPJ and others. You love bringing this up bc it hurt your feelings. I’ll say it again… I don’t give a **** about Alperen Sengun!!! I won’t lose any sleep when he’s not on the team anymore

    Sengun has been far and away the Rockets best player on the floor this season.

    I'm waiting for Green to take that next step and build on what we saw at the end of last season.

    Jabari has been Mr Invisible. Next time he takes over a game will be the first time. Hell Josh Cristopher has taken over more games this year than Jabari but he's still young so I hold out hope.

    KPJ is playing out of position, IMO, and would be better served as a 2 off the bench but he's the best PG we have so...

    And the Coaching is by far the worst in the league...

    The team is young and has plenty of needs and room to grow but out off all the players listed above the only two you can build around are Green and Sengun.

    I know I'm beating a dead horse but the coaching/FO debacle has me reserving judgement on our young talent and overall team performance.

    What a timing but Harden hasn't returned yet theoretically.

    I don't think he's Swedish Olajuwon but he could be ledadakota or the other dude

    You made some very fair points and I respect it. I like that you’re thinking of the team and not sound like an only fan. With that being said, I just don’t believe building around Sengun is the right move. I don’t think that guy is on the roster yet. I respectfully disagree with that part

    See when you have to grossly overexaggerate to prove your "point" it generally flops on its face. He's averaging 17.8 field goal attempts for the season. Nice try though.

    Maybe not but you have to start building somewhere and Green and Sengun are as good as it gets on the current roster.

    Hope the 14% chance hits and we get the player we want (My choice would be W). Also hope we make a coaching change and maybe a couple free agent moves to bring in some talent and fill some holes. We definitely need better outside shooting.

    It's always about the team over any one player.

    Go Jalen yay!
    ("OVERexaggerate" b t w?? "GROSSLY OVERexaggerate", even?? I knew you had oral diarrhea, but still...)

    So ya what was the need for the exaggeration?

    Is 41% atrocious for a 20-21 year old guard who is asked to self create all his buckets?

    Did the Sixers tell AI to retire after he scored 40% from the field at a much older age with a lot more experience?

    AI was both a basketball god and a ballhog; I hope JG doesn't take that road.
    To make matters clear: I like JG very much. What I can't stand is his random isos and needless hero ball stuff, probably mostly due to narrow court vision.
    Here's to hoping Silas is gone very soon and this 5-men-out-1-iso-4-scarecrows thing stops.

    First you lie about liking Jalen Green and then you lie about knowing basketball. This team does not run a 5 out offense. If it did the paint wouldn't have Houston rush hour traffic level of congestion.

    Such accusations don't become your plump lips.
