    Defense would have been better.

    Rockets have never looked anywhere near this good since Harden

    Green has established himself as the alpha, #1 option, and top player

    the team is at its best with the ball in his hands and the offense running through him Sengun or no Sengun

    Sengun is still the number 1.

    with Jalen firmly established as the #1, it’s up to Stone to now build an adequate, well-fitting roster around him

    lead us to that play-in berth Jalen, I will travel to wherever that game is

    Sengun is the franchise player, and it is not close.

    There isn't a SINGLE game in that streak we would have NOT won with a healthy Sengun.

    The main difference is that Jalen stopped playing like the worst player in the NBA and started playing really well on both sides of the ball, a few games before Sengun got injured, and Amen has been contributing bigtime.

    I am happy that we won games we should have won, and that we are competing for something, but yes, I am upset about the stupidity of some members of this fan base. Instead of enjoying it for what it is, they are crapping on our best player who is injured.

    i agree, the rockets are way more exciting for me when they have a dynamic guard/wing as the star see mcgrady/harden and now green

    hate to say it but watching the sengun offense reminds me when we had the scola/ lowry teams.. very boring

    all the rockets need now is a lob threat for jalen green to punish defenses even more like rob williams type

    I think it is understandable but if you hold people to high standards, they disappoint you......

    Basketball is about big men......that is what Moses and Hakeem told us and not about Harden or McGrady even when they were phenomenal.

    This City was built on the heroics of a once in a lifetime Big.

    Literally the only game in this streak without Sengun that was against a GOOD team was the win against the Thunder, and they were playing without Shai.

    Nobody can tell me that we would not have won all these games with Sengun instead of Landale.

    If you think so, you are a moron.

    Some people may be "crapping" on him. Some people though are just saying Green still may end up being really good. Amen or Cam could still end up being better than either one of them and have a better career. You folks get extremely upset though if someone does not agree with you.

    Newsflash you could be right or you could be wrong.

    We should all be enjoying this. It’s so divisive and stupid. Other fan bases would be rejoicing that something great came out of all of the crap seasons we had under Silas. We should be thankful to have two budding young stars instead of trying to tear them apart.

    Saying "Green might still end up being really good" (perfectly fine) is very different from saying "Sengun is done" (moronic) or "Green has established himself as the number 1" (stupid and premature) after a few great games against bad teams, and one great game against a good team (OKC).

    Exactly - we have people complaining about so-called "Sengunatics", but the most divisive fans are the ones crapping on an injured player on their own team.

    These are the games we won without Sengun.

    We should have won all these games, these are all worse teams than ours, except for OKC, and they were missing Shai. We would have won these games with Sengun also. Every single one of them.

    We lost some games against bad teams earlier in the season, but not because of Sengun but because Jalen would go 4-17, 2-18, etc.

    All these "fans" who are now exposing their hateful agenda against an injured player because we won games we should have won while he is out are disgusting.

    Green is the franchise player now and is now proving it on a nightly basis

    Green is leading us to a play-in berth balling on a level no player has done for us since Harden averaging almost 30 a game in the month of March to go along with 6 boards and 4 assists on elite efficiency…he should probably win POTM

    the Rockets have always been at their best when things run through Green and he is playing well

    last year’s sorry team was 15-15 when Green scored at least 25 points, and they are 18-7 this season and currently on a massive win streak with Green leading the way

    If people think the 9th or 10th seed is worth giving up on Sengün I can only laugh ......about short sightedness.

    Dude, Ime Udoka is the guy behind all of this, if Udoka is leaving for whatever reason, those guys are not making anything.

    Or it takes them a few seasons longer to achieve anything.
