    It’s still an absolutely idiotic nickname no matter how you try to explain it. You’re just but hurt that Sengun is not getting more assists. You should have just said “the Sengun assist killer” which is what you really meant and were worried about lol. Perhaps everyone who he passes the ball to should make every single shot. I’d be all for that trust me.

    Otherwise downright idiotic nickname that makes no sense at all. On a team of non shooters one of the only ones with at least average shooting is the assist killer. :D How hilarious! You’re a sharp cookie!

    The last two games I've noticed this.

    Over the course of the season? Nah. Jalen's main problem is missing too many jumpers and it seems like Sengun has reverted back to fishing for whistles too often. Alpi's gotta adapt to slower whistles or he'll implode in the playoffs.

    Refs are letting them play this year. We are doing our share of hacking as well. Sengun has got to play through it and I think he will.

    Imagine if Green had a stretch big that was a high usage offensive player like Towns. Sengun is a assist killer for Green especially on pnr possessions when Sengun doesn't hard roll.

    Odd comparison. That 2nd half was not good enough if we want to be taken seriously. Not sad at all, just left a bad taste.

    Celtics winning the championship is prolly the best thing gonna happen for the rockets.

    Udoka still feel that was his team and he should have won. Because he saw they won without him, he's going to prove he can win with the rockets. Udoka is going to have the rockets group play out of their mind on defense. On offense..........eh. The difference is Celtics have superstars. Meanwhile, rockets are still trying to find out which one of these young guys are superstar.

    The second half was sacrificed to give Sheppard some nba experience.

    If we were serious the lead would have been blown up.

    Looking back the reason why we managed to double up the Hornet is mainly due to the large and quick rotations Ime made.

    Instead of sticking with FVV and JG for too long Ime actually delved into his bench with Tate and Whitmore and both were able to provide quality minutes. This should be the norm, while unconservative Ime should be playing 10 guys every game just to see who has the hot hand.

    heard Ant say to people asking why he's pumping up 3's and not driving downhill --- ''how could I go downhill if there is no lane'' -- poor guy, missing his buddy KAT badly.

    have been observing it for quite some time -- that he may not want to give Jalen assists -- would rather go fishing for free throws it seems

    Wolves keep losing, Stone should call them ask what would it take to get Ant.

    We have enough assets to basically get anyone, we have our picks+swaps and the PHX picks and swaps in addition to all the young guys.

    I think he takes longer to develop and definitely not a ready player as advertised.

    He would get more playing time on a bad team.....the Rockets are not bad any longer.
