    Agree.

    That 2nd unit is not the same without Sengun.

    Green added to Sengun led 2nd unit might even be more fire.

    Explosive long athletic 5's give Sengun fits.

    Especially if also high IQ.

    Mitch Robinson was a +21.

    Looking good is not the goal.

    Wins are the goal.

    Theis as the only big does not contribute to wins, no matter how good his numbers are.

    I think he will eventually figure it out but I think he has different things he can do on the court and too often we don't let him feel the game out.
    He also needs to develop that 3 shot bc that will allow the drive by so much better

    Whenever you tell the truth about a player here or what the coaching staff does you are automatically labeled a hater of that person and an only fan of the other. I've been called a Harden hater and Harden only fan in this forum several times purely based whether im telling the truth about a negative aspect of his game or not. Ive been told that I hate Sengun Ive been called a Sengun only fan. This is all you guys know how to do. I DO NOT HATE THEIS AND IVE BEEN A ROCKETS FAN WAY BEFORE SENGUN GOT HERE AND I WILL BE ONE AFTER HE LEAVES. Theis doesnt fit this team and ruins spacing and we never win games when he starts thats a fact whether you like it or not. EVEN IF WE DIDNT HAVE SENGUN I WOULD BE SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT HIM. You guys exaggerate someones point to hate because you dont actually have any factual statements to refute what they say. Its literally all you have. Literally everything @Easy said I was saying and was telling me not to do I DID NOT SAY OR DO. Just flat out making **** up. Go back and show me a quote of where I was saying something he told me to stop doing. I never said anyone said Sengun wasnt better than Theis. Thats something he pulled out of his ass.

    It's one of the few areas his IQ alone won't do all the work for him to be fair. He's still only a youngster, this is definitely not the last time he'll be overpowered by a bigger, more athletic player. It'll be interesting to see if/how he deals with that going forward, and whether he finds a way to adjust around it or if it's just the way it is until he grows into his frame more.

    Sengun is a rookie jackass. Theis has 1 in 10 good game and thats great he played well but it comes at the expense of the team and that is not an opinion developed because of Sengun and thats what you are missing here. Whether or not Sengun is on this team or injured or whatever Theis does not fit on this team even in his good games we lose, which there have only been about 2 or 3 games we still lose. Daniel Theis regardless of how Sengun is or Wood are palying should not get heavy minutes on a rebuilding team. He would be great for a contender though. Its stupid to have Gordon THeis and House on this team eating up minutes and yes they will look great some games but at what cost to the rebuild?

    I don't think calling Sengun a jackass is very nice

    A rookie jackass is even worse.

    Lucas next postgame comments: "Sengun has a long ways to go, but he's improving each day. Soon, he'll be a veteran jackass."

    I know what a casual is lol. I just can't listen to the game on the radio like he does. I prefer watching them. But we don't get the games live with our cable :-( IDK how he does it, he prefers the radio! I think that's weird.

    I HAVE talked to him about it--he says he prefers the radio! I can listen to the 'stros on the radio, but basketball is way to frenetic to keep up with for me without the visuals. It's one of our few major differences. Keeps things interesting I guess.

    He says "how sweet it is" gene peterson. I don't know what that means. I guess I really am a filthy casual.
