    Alperen Sengun 30 points 10 rebounds 6 Turnovers, 7 missed Free Throws.

    It is like Quadruple Double for Alperen Sengun.

    On defense Alperen Sengun was absolutely absent in the paint not even trying to block shots or not jumping and gone missing.

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Rockets get down by 16 points in the first quarter. They are back to starting off slow with no energy and coincidentally with Fred back in the lineup. Amen also seemed out of rhythm and invisible most of this game. I think Fred needs to come off the bench but it won’t happen due to how much money he makes and because of politics. I think he has destroyed the energy and chemistry the new starters had created.

    Miss the old rockets harden team. Got drunk before and after games together.

    harden and cp3 rented penthouses for after parties.

    now these guys go home and play call of duty and eat chipotle.

    He's not a difference maker...and, it's not just one game. He is what he is...and that's not much.

    Where are fans who bragging Fred?

    Fred has 38.5% FG which is the worst in his career. I can expect his bricking.

    plays really slow and loves to play through Alpi - it’s great if Alpi could finish and hit FTs at a decent clip but we all knows that’s a issue right now

    Amen cant shoot 3s
    Sengun cant shoot 3s

    Sacremento packs the paint
    Dillon 2 of 8
    Fred 1 of 7

    Jalen 4 of 10

    The spacing is not good with this lineup if the vets are gonna shoot so poorly. Have to make the open looks or Amen will look bad with 5 dedenders inside 10ft from the rim.

    I know it's only been one game, but Ime needs to bite the bullet and put Jabari back in the starting lineup and send Fred to the bench.

    The rest of you, he might be the father but he don’t claim you and wants nothing to do with you. :D

    It is very dangerous and harmful for the whole Team to play down to slow and pathetic level of Fred VanVleet.

    Ime Udoka is even a bigger problem allowing Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks to play slow and shoot bricks. Ime Udoka never blames Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks in post games ever.

    I don't get how when the team is fully healthy that Amen is still playing 41 minutes and Jabari is only out there for 20.

    Some of this is on Ime. His lineups are questionable.
