    Jabusti is such a ****wit. Gets blown by way too easily and barks at the help defender. This is where we need a vet on the team with some toughness, somoene who would tell this kid who can't shoot and can't play defense to shut the **** up until he brings something positive to the table.

    Instead all we get is Silas blaming all the Rockets' defensive issues on one guy and Jabusti getting all the minutes he could ever want because he's got that magical, mystical THIRD DRAFT PICK potential.

    I hope Stone listens to any trade offer he receives for Jabusti this offseason. For a few weeks I thought he might become a taller Trevor Ariza, one of the highest level 3+D guys in the league, but now I don't think he'll be even 10% of the player Ariza was. Get him off my team, he sucks.

    When I paid for my ticket to tonight’s game, I did it for one reason…to see Daishen Nix play 30 min and to watch Sengun sit out most of the 4th quarter. ;)

    But I did get to watch a historic 70-burger.

    Last game Klay made 12 threes and this game Liliard with 13 threes....

    Silas: It's all Sengun's fault. Only Sengun needs to take responsibility for all the shiit.

    At this point only an insane guy can keep doing this.

    Dame getting hot was an understatement.

    Does Kelly really not understand that in a season where you are once again watching your team lead the league in losses that youd like to see maybe your best young player not treated like a scrub by the head coach?

    Silas not giving Sengun more leeway is a recurring theme that folks are going to want to discuss.

    If an opposing player scores 71 and you only lose by 17 with your two best players out of the game, it’s just call that growing pains. No story here.

    PG puts up 71. Silas: I hate that Turkish guy!

    I’ll be glad when Silas is over this season. Tank accomplished. No need to throw your C under the bus when the PG hits 13 threes. Best thing to do is just tip your cap to the vet. This is bad leadership and a sign that he’s over it.

    he's trolling and also he probably wants to keep his access to the team. Kelly doesn't care if the Rockets do well, he just covers the Rockets. Him and Salman Ali said they aren't fans of the Rockets. Kelly getting cooked in the comments.

    Im not sure why he would do that, People not going to trust what he writes. People will always think he is a shill for the Rockets.

    I love how Silas was all like "Alpe was being hunted In the PnR" so when he decided Garuba had played enough (he hadn't) he subbed in Boban instead of Sengun. What a disengenuous prick.

    NICE GUY is going to get fired in the offseason, then go on a national media tour saying he was told to tank and told who to play and people like Zach Lowe will be all like "oh no poor Stephen Silas"

    I don’t know why anyone even bothers with that one. For someone who tries hard to sound knowledgeable he constantly has the stupidest dumbest takes on the board, and when he’s proving wrong he resorts to operate in hypotheticals and changes the narrative to “see this made up scenario would off happen, I’m right you’re wrong” schtik.

    “Lillard would of gone for 50-60 if green played” -made up scenario that cannot be proven

    “Big foot is real! You can’t say he isn’t real if you don’t have evidence to proof he doesn’t exist” -cryptozoologist

    I would have absolutely no problem with Silas benching Sengun if he held other players accountable as well. I have been saying all year KPJ needs coaching up. Bench him, coach him, send him back in. Same with Jalen and Jabari. If he didn't like how Sengun was playing D then you pull him, coach him, put him back in. If he is still doing things you don't like, repeat. You don't bench any young starting player for over a quarter and a half without having someone over there coaching him and then sending him back out there.

    I'm very concerned that Wilt's 100 point record is likely to be broken vs our Rockets in this season.
