    Then they would be a star who is a chucker gunner, if it doesn't result to wins/titles

    Well at least from others in the past like Jordan who was labeled a ball hog pre-titles, even Kobe was called a chucker post Shaq era, and both were stars(super)

    If I were Green on this rebuild I would have taken young Jordan/Bron/AI volume shots, 20+ per game, 16/18 shots per seems light

    right balance of young players and vets
    players willing to sacrifice playing time for a win

    let's go

    Head coaches play the bbers that they think they fit in his system not the ones who work the hardest so i don't buy this at all. Because i fully expect Jabari to start. He clearly doesn't deserve to start next season until he fixes his shot and learn to dribble (to me) but since he's better pretty much anyone on defense and fits in Ime's system he'll start..

    Put Nix at the top of the list and it's 100% correct.

    If Smith winds up a bench player he will demand a trade. I really don't see that happening. He is just too skilled. He wasn't used properly last season.

    "Nothing is given anymore"

    That's bad news for some of the high draft picks who have been disappointing.

    That's what I'm thinking too. Good Lord he was maybe the worst head coach I've ever seen. I don't envy trying to break the bad habits these guys were allowed to develop over the last few years.

    No 2nd year player has the right to demand a trade..if he does. He's not worth keeping , he didn't earn the right too

    The competition is between a FA and KPJ. I guess it depends on who they sign.

    The point KPJ experiment is over. Amen to that.

    It's Amen unless they pick up a good FA at the position, then it's whoever that is.

    I know you still have that Silas mentality, but nothing is going to be handed out, it'll have to be earned.... that pretty much means Amen won't play much, maybe not at all if they pick up a good FA at the position.

    Ime is Gene Hackman from Hoosiers he’s going to turn the rockets to the hickory huskers. Pass the ball 4 times before we take a shot.

    Good that's what I needed to hear.

    I feel better about the Rockets going into free agency now.

    Let everyone fight it out. May the best man win the playing time.

    KPj- * play defense * get the ball out of your hands quicker
    *play more off ball and shoot the CnS 3's more often.

    Jalen Green- play better defense

    Jabari- get your stamina up for 82 games,
    stronger foundation hit more 3's

    Amen- shoot better or catch more pine (bench)

    Sengun- cut your Christian Wood sh*t of pretending you can't
    shot 3's so you can be the main ball handling hub of the offense.

    10/19 thru 1/11 (37 games):
    Sengun 20.0% (3P%)

    1/13 thru 2/28 (19 games while KPj out):
    Sengun 50.0% (3P%)

    3/01 thru 4/09 (19 games...KPj back):
    Sengun 37.5% (3P%)
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/sengual01/gamelog/2023/

    Everybody, cut your crap and play ball !!

    Do what's best for the team.....not the individual

    Silas told Sengun not to shoot...and KPJ didn't feed Sengun for threes. Good job of showing the stats broken down.

    When we played through Sengun, everything worked better, and Sengun shot the three better. But of course, he had to share the court with Nix, who is so awful that he even made KPJ look good in comparison...

    Can't wait for all the CF fans calling Ime to be fired when their favorite Rocket is in the doghouse.
