    Really? I love watching this team. There’s 4 or 5 guys that are as much fun to watch as any Rocket of the last 15 years.

    I never watch the games. prefer to keep it casual. I know everything I need to know by looking at box scores ;)

    He's not the MVP this season, but he arguably might have been last season and does deserve to be a voting option IMO

    This is why I have trouble with your assessments. Every other team in the NBA, their leading scorer is considered their MVP;

    OKC - Alexander
    Clev - Mitchell
    Boston - Tatum
    Den - Jokic

    But in Hou, YOUR take is Sengun by a mile! Lol....can't take you serious

    This is just not true, there are plenty of teams where either the "MVP" is unclear or he clearly is not the leading scorer. Just off the top of my head: Indy, both LA teams, Miami, Memphis.

    More than that, this kind of statement is just silly on its face, and disingenuous to boot. I don't even think you agree with your own implied position here. There is so much more to basketball than just scoring volume and I think you know that. Even just on offense, let alone once you bring defense into the picture.

    Casual fans in general don't really go beyond ppg/highlights. I bet if you ask 100 casual fans if iverson or garnett was better, you'd have A LOT say iverson, even though obviously those 2 are worlds apart. Obviously what he says is nonsense but not unusual.

    The MVP so far is Sengun. Jalen Green has definitely stepped it up in 2025 and playing like a franchise player but he was also extremely inefficient to start the year, it kinda cancels out whereas Sengun has just been consistently good on both ends.

    If you ask Ime though FVV is our MVP and franchise player. FVV at his worst is still better tha. everyone else thats why he gets 40 mpg no matter how badly he is playing.

    It's Sengun. Even when he struggles....our offense looks like booty juice when he sits.

    Jalen has had better individual "performances"

    Amen is best defender.

    Yeah but he wasnt efficient to start the season so those were just volume scoring.

    Brooks is a nice surprise though, cut down on his technicals.

    Has to be at least 2nd.

    I would say Udoka as his reach goes beyond just coaching.

    Last year clearly Fred and Alpe side by side.

    Alpi

    The only thing preventing him from being all NBA is those bunnies he keeps missing :)
