    You called BS simply because something was apparently beyond your scope.

    Ridiculous.

    Good find and very good news in general. Since 3 men line ups miss some info, I also looked at 5 man line ups:

    - there are 3 5 men line ups that got somewhat meaningful amount of time, 75, 61, 45 minutes. All of them have green as well, two of them has kpj. So when you list them as separate info, you(twitter guy) are kind of doubling the info.
    - the only one that has slightly negative rating is the one with bari. The team will immediately be much better when bari is not such a negative player and signs from end of season were it is very soon.
    - also another reminder of how bad Silas was. The perimeter defense was horrible all along and he refused to do anything about it.

    for a team whose most two used lineups has a net rating of -10, these numbers are very impressive and shows the potential under a better coach and natural improvement from the young players. I am almost sure to make a big bet on the total wins for the rockets this year.

    it's usually a pick and choose on who gets it, did OKC get Seattle's 78' ship on their resume? if San Diego gets new team does it receive Houston two titles?

    "Toxic"???
    Seems to be popular word nowadays for mudslingers with a dearth of self-awareness, whenever they find themselves intellectually outmatched.

    It's okay to scamper off now.
    You weren't invited to begin with.

    Is @Clutch still implying the Rockets' front office thinks Sengun has bad work ethic? I remember that Clutch hinted at that at the beginning of last season. We all know which player improved most last season.

    Has anyone other than @Clutch ever said that?

    I don't know if he has a good or bad work ethic, but if he has a bad work ethic and still manages to be the most improved and arguably the best player on the team, that's a huge red flag for the rest of the roster since they can't outperform a dude from overseas who was picked at #16.

    Bruno Fernando season 2. That work ethic comment is totally out of nowhere, not connected to anything.

    and the ‘they don’t hate him’ comment is effing weird. Why would they hate him? If you go out of your way to say that when there is no need, it means either you hate or you know someone that hates.

    looks like Sengun is going to kick some more asses.

    Who would these "certain members of the Rockets front office" be? Stone, I guess?

    Just trade him and be done with all these "problems". - No.
    OK then, respect him and his development; start him. - NO!
    You guys want to have your cake & eat it too.
    Easy to see: I f you don't respect Alpi, somebody else will and he'll be gone.

    I find it ridiculous that anyone in the rockets organization thinks Alp is a negative or has a bad work ethic.
    That’s just the rhetoric of some wanna be sports talk podcasters that can’t wrap their heads around a guy that isn’t your typical player type.

    I would never doubt that @Clutch tells the truth. But the fact that someone in the Rockets front office makes such statements about one of our most promising young players - and clearly, they initially tried to go through with benching him behind scrub Bruno last year - is utterly concerning.

    And I think the only person to make that call is Stone. Or perhaps Patrick Fertitta ("he does a lot").

    Their love affair with KPJ while slagging off Sengun to the most important Rockets fan is truly bizarre.
