Did you reply to the wrong post maybe? I didn’t say we didn’t beat other bad teams. I’m saying I guess we were the only team with an easy month on the schedule because no one else won 11 straight. These people are saying it’s easy to win 11 straight against easy teams. I’m being sarcastic of course. Lots of teams have an easy 11-game stretch. None of them won 11 straight. Boston is the only team that won 11 straight and it wasn’t an easy stretch.
Yo the way NBA media works is kinda a scam lol. One dude types a blog summarizing the last half month of other speculation that has already been reported and then 5 different other NBA media sources package it as reporting. This is all baded on that clutch points article that just summarizes Green's trade rumors we already knew months ago.
Amico just sourced the Clutchpoints article from two days ago as new reporting and that original source just summarizes the past half year of rumors that we already knew. It's kinda pathetic how NBA media works.
Over 3,700 posts in this thread. Has anyone defined exactly what Numero Uno means? Does it mean he leads the team in X, Y, Z? Does it mean he's the highest paid player? What the hell does it even mean? He'll be the numero uno what? After that is answered, can anyone say when he will become Numero Uno? I can sit here and say that I will get an 8 pack at some point, but I can just repeat that over and over until the day I die. Saying that part is easy. But, when will I get an 8 pack? That's the question my wife is interested in.
Let’s dump him. Amen/Reed/Cam/FVV can hold it down. Like the genius @coachbadlee says, where there’s smoke…
I'm sure the Rockets would love to trade Jalen Green but there's never been a market for him. None of his cultists are the GM of a team.
While I do not deny the fact that Jalen was the number one reason of the 11-game streak. But I keep wanting to push back the idea that it happened WHEN SENGUN WENT DOWN as if Jalen could do that because he took over the key from Sengun and did it all by himself. Little was mentioned that there was 15-game stretch when the Rockets went 13-2. The two losses were close games against two good teams (Suns, Clippers). Sengun was there in the first 5 games and he averaged 28.4 points over those first 5 games.
Another thing that's lost in all this discussion is the fact that the Rockets would have likely been above .500 and be in playoff position prior to that 11 game winning streak, had Jalen Green played at the level of an average NBA SG (rather than replacement level) for the 50+ games prior to that win streak.
Told by who? This is a personal opinion, right? While what your saying is plausible to me, I am not going to score it as fact without sources.
