    We needed a star to fill James Hardens shoes and we got one. Dude is 21 and almost unguardable on the offensive end. Just so deadly because he continues to make the right play after play. He knows when and where to pass and when/how to score.

    Ugh that play, either tied or down 3 at the very end, when Jabari gave to Sengun on the left block and didn't clear out... he either has to get it deeper, repost, or get out. Can't recall shotclock time but then Jabari forces the 3.

    I thought that play meant for Jabari to take the shot...normally he makes those...it was unfortunate he missed it!

    I disagree.

    I thought it was a beautiful post-up that resulted in a wide-open Jabari three in crunch time. Alperen was exhausted, and Jabari just missed it, but I would take that shot every single time.

    Yeah it rimed out too. That's a shot Jabari has been making in the past 3 games

    Totally agree. I double bets on all Alperen to Jabari catch and shoots in general.

    (Now If only our SG could shoot a little bit, lol)

    I am still waiting on pick and roll or pick and pop between Sengun and Jabari

    I go straight to the other team's broadcast every single game on league pass because of Hollins.

    He is an absolute joke.

    His over the top commentary last season falling over himself to proclaim every single thing KPJ and Jalen did - was good - even if it was a turnover, was downright laughable.

    But him constantly putting whatever Sengun does in a negative light is just abysmal. You do not hear any other commentary team spout off on their own players the way Hollins does with Sengun.

    I pray he isn't on the sidelines for much longer. Why he's even there in the first place as beyond me.

    Agree to disagee. Jabari still had a man in his race and Alpi couldn’t put the ball on the ground long enough to get close to rim because Jabari man immediately dug. But agree Alpi was gassed. Ime put him in earlier in 4th than usual I think.

    How many 21 years old player in NBA other than Sengun double teamed, tripple teamed or sometimes 4 players trying to defend him?
    Let me tell you.. None...
    After Hakeem, Sengun is the most dominant big player in Rockets History and in 2-3 years, if Rockets surround he and Jabari with good players, he is future hall of fame...

    Have you ever heard of a guy named Moses Malone?
