    By not being a threat on offense. Doesn’t shift defenses. No dribble drive penetration. No 3 pt shot. Hesitant.

    Bobby the great fraud probably sits on his couch stewing shaking his head looking like a fool muttering to himself everytime Jalen proves him wrong.

    Lol....can be said about Green fans, they have snipped at either Alpe or Amen the whole time.

    Amen because he was the guy running the breaks last season.

    Green is very much better than his fans.

    Great game from Jalen tonight.

    Didn't think a single one of his shots was bad tonight, he earned every one he did, and honestly thought he warranted taking even more in that second half.

    Also his few drives tonight were with purpose which was amazing to see especially at Wemby.

    Sengun looked timid on offense again out there as if he's hesitant nearly every time he's making a move. Would love if he can go back to last season's decisive moves in the paint.

    One of the few games I watch listening to the Rockets' broadcasters - considering how horrifically bias the Spurs guys are. Hollins is just utter trash. I still can't explain why he is on the team. Never played for the organisation, is absolutely garbage at what he does. So infuriating to listen to.

    Wonder if Udoka knows he's allowed to make plays at the end of the game that aren't FVV deep heaves at the end of the shot clock?

    EDIT: Forgot to give Brooks credit, his D on Wemby in the 1.5 games I saw against the Spurs has been phenomenal.

    Nah... they'd definitely love for him to do that, but it's clear he's just not strong enough to play like that consistently yet if he ever does become so.

    reed has not played well. Not beating defenders off the dribble. Hesitant to shoot threes. Not playmaking. Doesn’t dribble Drive. Non factor on offense.

    Agree with everything except Hollins. Fun, energetic and gives good insights to the game.

    if Sengun played 36 minutes Sochan would’ve dropped 30



    bullying

    if u want to believe that Sengun has been the 2nd best team defender so far this season because of “advanced stats” then lol…some of y’all will believe anything if there’s a stat for it

    We freeze too much on the pick defense They end up hitting a roller always for an easy shot. Switch quick or Blitz that bullshit and have a wing defender slide to the middle to jam the roller. How is Ime a defensive coach but we play trash defense?

    He’s special in that he’s a 7’6 guy that can dribble drive, handle the ball, and shoot 3s. But overrated to me because he’s not really a great defender or that skilled offensively to me. Slow anticipating ball release and gets bailed out with late blocks due to 10 ft arms. Due to 10 ft arms gets easy buckets in the paint. Not great shooter or post player. Just tall and quick for his size. Nonetheless he’s special because there’s no other player like him in history

    I do not have problems with the Rockets, and he is a Rocket and he hasn't been good consistently last year.

    You were the guys attacking Sengün, maybe not you, but that dude Fchowd above everyone.

    And the main guy behind making jokes and remarks about Amen the whole time.

    Rockets record continues to be pretty damn good when Green scores with volume and efficiency.

    Explain what is the vitriol when someone is a fan of high BBall IQ and not athleticism?

    Jalen's play in the first 3 years was inconsistency, 3 point pulling and athleticism, not the things I believed in.....

    Do you go around and pour garbage on Judaism, Buddhism and other religions because you do not believe in it......until you convert?

    I am purist, I do not like strip club visits, hanging out with rappers, and knocking up 403s.......

    You got me there.

    At least I am willing to change to accept players that carry the team.

    And I am not a jinxer, I would not change into an Only fan to jinx that player.

    I'm Jewish, so no. Weird flex though. The vitriol is people trashing the kid for everything other than basketball for 3 years. It's for people calling him a scrub and not even worth a contract. For saying he can't play and isn't worth anything, that's the vitriol. Learn to read, seriously.
