    Disappointed in this team. They didn't show up at home after 2 days off.

    Getting out worked and flat beat by a 26-27 ball club missing its best player. Taking my kids to their first Rockets game tomorrow night. I fear what I may witness.

    Too much iso play from Jalen and Brooks. Need to pass it to Sengun more and work inside out. Fred understands that.

    Do you even watch the games? Cuz the ones he missed we looked like absolute garbage. Again we put him on bench to end the 2nd quarter and the suns immediately go on 7-0 to take lead..

    he opens our offense up for everyone cus of the attention he draws. The fact that you think he kills spacing is insane.

    Sengun is critical to our offense, his post play and assist numbers are way more important than Jalen Green chucking up shots. Jalen literally averages less assists than Devin Booker. It is so easy to replace a player like that.

    Passing big men are much harder to replace. If we had someone like JJJ our defense might be better but I would argue our offense would suffer.

    Stats matter but just watching the last 10 games even Jalen doesn't look like a critical piece to this team. FVV and Jabari might be more important.

    I just want to say I'm deadass serious about this. We should team up all the memes. A couple grab pompoms. We'll def need some Bolly representation. Someone dress up like Severo. Someone get a unicycle and crash bowls everywhere lol... I call getting a mini-ladder and try to balance it on my face.

    You having a negative perception of a player making you feel as if Green's misses somehow look "uglier" than Sengun is coping for the fact that the low iq chucker you despise scores more efficiently than Senhub. I'm sorry you have to tap dance around that.

    I know we are struggling when I watch a malnourished Bol Bol out there looking like hakeem.

    Only high IQ players on this team are FVV, Amen, and Sengun. And Sengun and Amen can't shoot above the break, so teams just pack the paint when they try to initiate the offense.

    Going to sound like a broken record myself soon but not getting a backup point guard at the deadline was a HUGE mistake by Stone.

    Jalen is statistically the worst starter. Starting unit with Amen in it instead of Jalen gets way better as well. But we're gonna run this **** again next year and expect different results.

    We don't need Kevin Durant - he's too old!

    (Proceeds to singlehandedly destroy whole team on second night of back to back)

    Well unless you think Green deserves this much attention, then cool you got high praise to believe he deserves the same attention as Jalen Brunson. But I doubt that. So are we blaming Jabari for the bad spacing? Brooks who is having his best shooting year? FVV? Defenses absolutely fear his outside shot.
