    This would be akin to trading Yao Ming because Chuck Hayes and company are balling out. :D

    You know… morons.

    Stone didn't even trade Jalen so you know Sengun ain't going anywhere.

    Interesting fact:
    The team right in front of us, at 10th place the Lakers is the only team in the league with winning record but negative +/- , while the Rockets being the only team with losing record but a positive +/-

    The Lakers are also the only team in the Top 10 with a losing road record.

    Yeah, because Chuck Hayes was drafted #2 and was scoring over 20 ppg with super star talent at 22....... Great comparison.... Did you even try or just said the 1st thing that crossed your mind?

    Guess he's homies with VanVleet (Toronto). Probably holla'd at Lil James too.

    FVV with another all-world assist ratio game (16 asts / 1 turnover)

    Jalen and Jabari played like stars. Our 3 point shooting was amazing. Go Houston Rockets !

    Props to Dillon Brooks too. His 3 point shooting and defense set the tone for the team. FVV didn't have to take many shots.

    I think Sengun has a few things he -has- to work on, but let’s not forget this steak started when Sengun was having that crazy run.

    He has to develop an average 3, or the spacing will be a problem. Obviously he’s young so he has plenty of time to do so.

    Thompson is the same way, but his off ball play makes it to where you can still use him with out his shooting.

    So the team is not as good as people thought they were but Lebrawn, AD and Dlo were pulling them out of the morass.

    If Jalen can learn to make his damn three pointers then he's a fantastic fit with Sengun on offense (defensively, IDK). The question is, will the shooting ever come?

    I believe Jalen is truly evolving. His energy and effort have reached a new level, leading to distinct results. If he regressed now, I'd be disappointed. I believe he will continue this play through the end of the season and into next season.

    Even his effort on D, goodness. Imagine a lineup of like Jalen-Amen-Tari-Jabari-Alpe. Do you want Jalen on ball, now that he's playing aggressive defense? And get filtered into a murderer's row of help defense? Or do you take your chances with one of those defensive savants and hope Jalen isn't quite the same helper?

    I agree he needs to work on his 3 point shooting, he also needs to get into his offense faster. He sometimes waits for the double team, when he should just get into his offense faster.

    To be honest, when he is was being doubled, and passed to open shooters, they were missing shots, now they are making them

    True definition of make or miss league

    Well, that's a trip. If Coach Udoka was in my living room, I'd pat him on the back. :cool:

    At least Jalen did not slip into his DMs because he said something about Draya.....would have gotten uglier.
