    Should've played JD Davison. Ime too hard headed showing favoritism to veterans way too much.

    YOU DONT KNOW THAT. I will never get used to people here thinking they know everything. No one even knew Joker would be Joker. I think YOU dont undersand how good Sengun his for his age. Sengun could be generational as well. He doesnt have to be Joker he has a better handle than Joker but isnt as tall. He will be different but he can be generational. Based on where he is if he keeps this up he will be generational. WILL HE? DONT KNOW, He could though. But this board is not to be trusted on Sengun's future as most of you wanted him benched for "dunk threat" lol.

    I think Jeff Green should get Tari's minutes. He plays good defense and can knock down the corner 3...

    I could put together a video of everyone in the NBA having weird vibes. Its just negative lowlights. Its all narative driven and youre perpetuating it.

    If you think spewing opinions such as "funny", "moronic garbage", and "hilarious" counts as logic and arguments, then I was wrong that you have a reading comprehension issue.

    What am I supposed to be gaining from this? Its a guy giving an interview lol He isnt angry there's no attitude. You guys seem to get mad at anyone serious. He is growing up. He's a grown ass man is he supposed to still be playing pranks and giggling after every game. What do you want?

    Dude, don't mention REED, you have ZERO credibility when mentioning him, we all know you hate him......and don't try to pretend you don't you are obsessed, and I know a thing or two about that myself.

    Ime didn't even mention Reed when talking about those minutes.

    Tari's minutes can go many different ways, if we really want a similar like for like play Uncle Jeff in those minutes....and limit them.

    As for Reed, he should be at 30 minutes you don't bury elite level shooters you feed them - even if their defense isn't the best or conforms to one style.....like you want.

    Found this interview from 2 years ago. Same person just younger and isnt telling jokes in this particular interview either. Just goes to show its all narative and if youre looking for something you can find a way to convince your self of it.

    Yeah, Tari in his feelings for not getting that extension...dont blame him, his production is not too far from Jabari who getting a $23M/year extension

    I don’t think so at all. Denver finished 54-28 and had the 2nd seed that year. I seem to recall the Rockets finishing what 52-30 for the second in Senguns 4th season.

    None the less I never claimed Sengun is going to be Jokic. I don’t think they play the same. They have some similar skill set but Sengun is a much more aggressive scorer plays a lot faster. Jokic is one of one. But I do believe Sengun can def be a 28/10/8 guy and be right there every year in the MVP discussion.

    What I was really getting at is Sengun imo is a legit superstar and he’s young and going to continue to get better. I think the rockets will be in the same position Denver finds themselves in with jokic over the past 5 years which is competing for championships. The Rockets are legit contenders right now with Sengun as the guy at 23 years old. Jokic is 30. You’re going to tell me that jokic at 34 is going to be better than Sengun at 27? As Great as Jokic is I think that would be crazy talk to think that.

    the rockets got a real superstar you can win championships with imo that was my only point. I don’t care if he is better than Jokic on an individual level or not. I care if he’s good enough to anchor a title team for years to come and all things seem to indicate he is.

    I thought maybe he would get 10 mins of Tari’s minutes, but I think he must have slowed down incredibly for Ime not to play him. I thought he should have got more time in the playoffs last year. I don’t see the point in playing Holiday when you have Amen, Okogie, and Reed as a really great guard combination. He should be used in garbage time and serve as temporary insurance in case one of our guards get injured. Tari was playing 22 mins a game. We can split that up between Okogie, Jabari, and Reed playing more.

    Tari was either going at Steven Adams or one of the coaches a few games ago. It's hard to tell because the cameraman started focusing on FVV afterwards instead of the altercation for some reason. He got injured the very next game.

    @Joe Rocket I meant to reply to your post but f'd it up.

    I think he's our "Udonis Haslem" on the team...a veteran presence in the locker room and glue guy. Jeff Green can still hoop as well! Still better than Jasean Tate...Holiday and Tate combine for $5.6M. We'll probably trade them by trade deadline to open up a roster spot to pick up another impact player during buyout season.

    He should have signed on the dotted line.

    Anyways. I do think Jeff Green can get some mins for TARI. Because he is a 3pt specialists. It will def open up the floor. The issue comes on defense, but Holiday doesnt really help in that regards either.

    DFS is going to play this year...soon... that is the guy we are really missing. Cant get him back soon enough.

    This was at the end of 3rd quarter against the Wizards, but Ive re-wtached those final minutes and nothing special happened. I think it was a conversation between them while Kispert is shooting FTs (with 32.2" to go). Steven says something loud that annoys him, Tari turns to the bench and does a gesture that seems sarcastic/annoyed.
