    All I'm saying is Jokic was 23 and still struggling against Goober. 7pts, 2 pts, 16 pts in 2018-2019. Had MVP votes that year.

    Good to see him be physical with one of the better defenders. He got hacked on three shots in the 4th. Blatant hits. Which in return, made the refs swallow a few whistles in favor of the Rockets on the defensive end. Edwards gets to the line 99.8% of the time on that last play.

    Once his fadeaway starts dropping, he’ll unlock final form. Maybe with his defense improved this year, that shot will be next!

    Senguns whistle is atrocious, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because he hasn't been anointed by the league yet, or maybe it's because of all the whining he does. But regardless, if Sengun got a superstar whistle it would be a complete game changer for us. He's actually got his lowest free throw rate since his rookie season, and is averaging less free throws per game than last season. His free throw percentage is way up, I like his new routine and his new form, his percentage is up in the high 70s, which is really awesome to see. If he could actually get a star whistle it would help our team so much.

    I think he gets a pretty fair whistle all things considerred. He plays great calming offense that this chaotic defense needs to balance itself.

    Its getting better but i cant wait for his efficiency to catch and he become even more dominate.

    Clutch can’t even say Sengun’s name after tonight’s game lol. Talking about Jabari’s shooting as the takeaway. The salt mine is overflowing

    He has ability to make tough shots. That's a superstar trait.

    Sengun does not need press, media to hype about him. He is a superstar...He does not need anyone to declare this.
    This is basketball, this is not Hollywood or Rap concert. You earn the respect, you earn your minutes.
    Minutes were not given to.this kid,he earned it with his sweat...
    Rockets is Sengun's team and will be his team.
    We have a great team and as the leader of this team, lt wont surprise me, if he carries us with his teammates to western semi finals in 3 or 4 years...
    He is that much good. I did not give up in Jalen, still wants him to adapt, but this is year 4. He should.show this in a short time.

    Part of the same echo chamber.

    I don't think Sengun needs Clutch's support, especially after 3 years of having been either disrespected or ignored by him.
    Thanks, he's good.
