I am ignorant to basketball so on the first clip inform me who's man #25 was and why did Sengun look directly into his soul noticing he would have been open to a cross court pass if he wasn't positioned on that side. Who's man was Jabri? My ignorant eyes sees that Sengun noticed 25 and was in position to make the closeout if need while being in a spot to help on the glass. I see Jabari in great box out position, who was he guarding?
The whole team is playing poorly. Sengun's offense has been good, but his defense is unwatchable. This is the part yall ignore but I get it
A few games allows you to be terrible the rest of the season? I was referring to April, tge last time he was consistently good...

Jabari will be far superior to being a projected "tall Ariza" once he hits the weight room, studies more NBA defense, and uses the "attitude" he has on his teammates also on himself.
I was pounding the table to trade down and take Ivey. As well as adamant that we should take Mobley last year. I think the rockets drafted a loser last year and a jag this year. Hope I am wrong.
Seems like if it's just him without BOTH KPJ and Jalen, the Rockets were at their best in these 10 games.
I think the Rockets grabbed a falling knife in Smith and now we act like we don’t understand why we are bleeding. He was best available but there is a reason he was available. Now here we are.
I keep seeing posters calling on the coaches to hold players accountable. That doesn’t really happen in the NBA anymore. The players have so much power these days, the coaches can only do so much. Finding a coach that the players respect can help. But after awhile players tend to tune coaches out if the team isn’t winning. Silas may not be a good coach, but he’s in a no win situation. Tilman and Stone have done nothing to improve the roster to generate more wins in the short term. Veteran players can hold young players accountable and teach them how to play the right way. But, Tilman and Stone have gone all in on the tank and don’t give a damn about anything other than getting the number one pick. Tilman and Stone have made things bad for Jabari, for Green, for Silas, and everyone on the current team.
If Popovich was the coach both Jalen and JG would be miles ahead. Any progress is despite of Silas, not because of him.
