    If you are in the Houston area, my sister-in-law is a counselor. She is in the League City area. I can give the number via PM if you want it.

    What an absurd turn this has taken. So because Jalen immaturely cussed someone out it means everything else the person says is true?

    Total BS. Show us the tweets, don’t just show them to your friends who are promoting your content anyway.

    I’ll bet anyone who’s seen the tweets that the tweets are not worse than what’s been said already. It’s just going to show Jalen cussing him out aggressively with broken English. The fact that they are all repeating the same exact phrase “The tweets are x amount worse than what’s been shared already.”

    Blown way out of proportion. Just requires a conversation between Jalen and the GM/HC about how to handle such stuff in the future. This happens way more than you think in the NBA. The problem is still that he is stupid with shot selection and adapting to his role.

    Incorrect.

    Clutch started a rockets watch discussion about it.



    I wasnt able to listen so i dont know what he said exactly. Folks can read into it or not read into it how they would like to but personally, i doubt he starts a whole discussion about this topic if he didnt have some kind of evidence it was legit.

    But people who share the spaces with Clutch have verified the tweets anyways so thats good enough for me.

    You cannot poison a well that has already been poisoned because Clutchfans discussed the same issues well ahead of those podcasters.

    I find it fascinating because you think they ruin your experience of watching the Rockets lol.......

    It is not like Clutchfans is a well that is kumbayah and all either.

    People act like those podcasters are the ones spreading nonsensical issues while the innocent CFers cannot come up with......

    That is naivety I am telling you. At least I do not strive to be naive.

    I do not give a rats behind if he is rude in the DMs of social media, dude is just a very mediocre 2nd pick.

    His brand of basketball is one that has not been winning many games. There are enough folks who want to blame it on Silas, but in reality he is responsible for himself.

    People who have seen the tweets and even Roosh himself have downplayed the "immaturity" aspect of the tweets. Hes a young guy who flew off the handle. It happens. Not sure why people keep harping on that aspect as that has never been the focus. Thats just people getting distracted by a feather floating in the wind.

    What they have expressed concern over as it pertains to Houston Rockets news and how it affects the team on the court is:

    1) Jalen appears to not be taking accountability and stated he is being used wrong. Could hint at a possible rift between him and the staff. This was around the time that Jalen said they didnt play fast enough after having a bad game against the Timberwolves. Could also affect how jalen views his situation here.

    2) Jalen appears to be completely against coming off the bench. This could affect how he plays with teammates that could potentially take his spot and if he is actually benched how will he handle it.

    If people stop listening to respond and start listening to understand there could actually be some good conversations going on. But too many people just simply cannot follow a simple conversation and start getting sidetracked and bark about stuff that isnt even in question.

    I was surprised that Roosh had access to interact with players, I thought he was just one of those Twitter minions.

    Okay, why not. One thing that I personally took away from this incident.

    He has also expressed that other players interacted with him on Twitter so might be legit.

    Some of those podcasters are from Clutchfans and all these tweets being posted here are just some of them trying to gain new followers. A lot of their ideas come from here. CF is probably the most toxic fanbase forum on the internet.

    So far this season...

    Top 5 players in Net Rating
    Tari (+9.4)
    Tate (+5.3)
    Holiday (+4.2)
    Fred (+3.3)
    Sengun (+1.0)

    Top 5 players in On Court +/-
    Tari (+10.7)
    Tate (+5.6)
    Holiday (+4.6)
    Fred (+3.3)
    Sengun (+0.4)

    The 5-man lineup of Fred, Holiday, Tate, Tari, and Sengun...
    Offensive Rating: 123.3
    Defensive Rating: 85.2
    Net Rating: +38.1

    If the goal is to win, maybe we should make our winning players into the starting unit.

    He doesnt have some special kind of access. Hes just gained a big enough voice that jalen saw his tweet and dm'd him about it.

    I dont understand the twitter hate though. Maybe im just not plugged in enough but to me it just seems like dudes giving opinions about the Rockets... Just like here on the MB...

    I really cant tell a difference other than the platform.

    Itd be like if a player browsed the message board and got upset about a poster calling them trash or saying they should be benched.

    Jalen is young but I do think he checked Roosh's followers numbers.....

    I can't help but think about John Wall refusing to come off the bench and instead sat out the entire year.

    Sobering reminder that Jalen's vets to learn from were John Wall, Christian Wood, and a disgruntled Eric Gordon.
