    Wish we had a coach who was more creative at seeing the pieces he has and putting them in the right position. KPJ is talented as a slasher and scorer. Wood as a rim runner. Jalen as a playmaker/off screen shooter. Sengun as the fulcrum.

    There's something here but I don't think Silas has found it.

    If KPJ ever has a handle like Kyrie I’ll be a happy camper

    Jalen Green showing the world ( it is NBATV) that he's a potential 30/5/5 player ... His understanding of what's needed is extraordinary for a teenager...

    I kind of see the end result of a KPJ-Green backcourt like a bigger Dame/CJ backcourt. Not that they will be that good, we can hope they are that good, but just in the sense that neither are true PGs looking to set the team up, both should be score first guys that the team plays around that way.

    Tate and Wood are possibly part of the long term plans for the Rockets. And we have to play Gordon so his trade value doesn't tank. His play so far is only helping his trade value.

    It was solid. She did a few verses from other songs then went into he golden goose. Sounds exactly the same, great.

    Tate and Wood are actually part of our young core. Nwaba and Gordon need to build their trade value. Your tunnel vision and short-sightedness is impressive.

    And Green and KPJ are getting plenty of minutes. It's on them to make the most of those minutes. This thing you think that's happening where teammates are freezing Jalen out isn't an actual thing. That's in your head.

    Sengun isn't getting quite as many minutes but I remember reading at one point that he didn't have the stamina of a lot of the other guys. So maybe they're building his endurance.

    So green already making sacrifices for the team.

    he’s unselfish enough to do it but I wish he had the green light to score 30 instead :rolleyes:

    Oh ya. It's no where near as refined. It's just a similar style. Their movements are similar.

    We need to watch out at the start of this half.

    Sarver's probably in the locker room right now yelling at Monty for making NO ADJUSTMENTS

    You mean Harden wishes that he has someone who takes those EG-era threes on the NUTS

    Yea i don’t disagree but KPJs is very loose compared to Kyrie‘s who i think unquestionably has the best handle in the NBA

    I think if both develop into solid combo guards it's a HUGE win for the Rockets. Green is really impressing me tonight with his passing, something you never consistently saw from him before. Basically whoever has the better matchup should be able to torch defenses when Green and KPJ hit their primes.

    Also, for all we know, Sengun could damn near be that type of PG as a C, he's the best passer on the team at 19 years old.

    I get where you’re coming from, we’re just lucky that green is a team first guy unlike Westbrook or harden

    he’s always willing to do what it takes and sacrifice

    I know he's unselfish and humble but that's going to hurt him. I've seen 5 star players lose their stock because of that. Green has to be more aggressive and selfish.

    Lmao at the Sun's commentator saying he'd give KPJ a haircut as he slept.
