    I ****ing love this team. Sengun is going to be amazing. Jalen still can get to the rim at will. Jabari WILL get better (he's kind where Sengun was last season).

    Bright future coming.

    With the ascension of Alperen Sengun as a franchise star do the Rockets now have the best young core in the NBA? I think so, they have both quality AND quantity.

    Just remember -- we still haven't won a road game. The home/road imbalance is greater with young teams.

    I'm amazed at this streak, but still a lot to prove.

    Jokic took Sengun so seriously this time and honestly I'm proud of Sengun despite Jokic handily winning the matchup. Sengun put up a respectable performance and came out with the W. Excited to see the gap shrink between these two, I think in 4 years Sengun will eclipse him as he enters his prime and Jokic starts declining.

    This team man. I'm trying so hard to keep my expectations in check. I'm getting anxious to face more healthy contenders so that I can get a real feel for our potential.

    The team still has room for improvement and lots of players who are highly likely to perform better (and some will cool down). Maybe tanking so much for so long has made these young guys truly desperate for the wins. Green was garbage inside the 3pt line but still came up with 6 FT's, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 0 turnovers and the highest +/- among the starters. How the hell is that possible on a 1 for 13 night where he finished with 9 points total. Against an extremely will coached team that was always playoff calibre when Murray was out and got a historic performance from Jokic.

    Just ecstatic about our future right now.

    It's so hard to not over react to this win streak. This is like finding water in the desert.

    Sengun is such a smart defender. Looking forward to 2 more matches vs the Joker this season!
