    The level of excitement this team is showing is so much fun.

    Yes, we aren’t going to win a championship this year, or maybe next year. But if we continue to develop our core which I think is Sengun/Jabari/Amen/Cam/Fred, we have a really promising future for us.

    Do y’all think Fred is in our future?

    I really can’t believe Udoka accepted to be the Rockets coach. We won the lottery in Udoka.

    I think Amen and Cam will be very important for us and I hope we stay patient with them.

    Jalen Green really needs to get his mind straight. If anything, I would love for him to take into consideration the 6th man off the bench role like Jamal Crawford for instant offense.

    I can’t believe we got this lucky with Sengun. I’m really excited with our future and Udoka running the show.

    I love the way Jabari is playing at the moment. It's like he realised he can be an absolute menace on the boards and good things happen when he's ripping everything down.

    That's created the confidence to go and get buckets and he's so aggressive going to the basket now.

    Can easily see him becoming a 25 and 10 sort of guy at his peak. Can't say I saw that last season at all.

    It would be cool to say we drafted an All-Star cast over the last 3 drafts but so far, 4 of our 1st Rnd Picks have been busts. That said, I'm curious what Udoka could have done with Christopher's game. Not saying I had high hopes for him but he showed some potential. Same with Washington. In fact I'd rather see either of those guys getting Jalens minutes at this point.

    Jalen only had 9 points, we should trade him to China. Rabble rabble rabble. Oh wait, we won?

    I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE for him to be a killer and prove me wrong. I’d love it. I swear to everything that’s good and holy I’m rooting for him. He’s on the team I’ve rooted for since I was about 10 years old. I just don’t see it. And I don’t like pretending when it seems really clear to me.

    That Jabari rebound at about 1:10 left was so awesome. Just wanted it more. Man I love that

    Jalen had 6 points.

    Oh sorry, I was looking at his turnovers.

    2 made field goals. 6 turnovers.

    China wouldn't even want him.

    What was that quote from Jalen in the past? Something along the lines of there's no losses with this team?

    Seems like the team acknowledges losses exist now. And they actively try to avoid them. And their best bet at doing that is minimising Jalen Green's minutes.

    I don’t know why but Jabari looks taller now, I think it has to do with his confidence but his release and rebounds are happening much higher than before.

    I get frustration in Jalen but no way TYTY nor Josh Christopher would be getting his minutes. I don't even think either is in NBA anymore

    He’s got a better arc on his three ball now also. Last year it was too flat.
