    Jalen is a 6th man at best. Sengun needs to hit the weight room

    Sengun doesn’t deserve all the hate he’s getting, but he’s got to play tougher in the paint offensively starting next season. He too easily gets bothered by physical play.

    And one or both of Sengun and Amen Thompson have to develop a three-point shot they trust this summer.

    Everyone just needed to get better individually in the off season.

    Good thing is Fred’s value is up so we can bundle him for some quality trade package. Jalen never really had a value other than really desperate teams that really want to take a chance for a cheap price bargain

    I had zero faith in Jalen or Sengun, but I still wanted to believe

    to go out like this is such a massive disappointment

    Everyone should be gone except Amen.

    We can't build our system around Sengun. I wouldn't be against trading him for Giannis.

    Trade Rumors by all the YouTubers Chris Mannix, Tim McMahon nonstop on Jalen Green. Twitter Hater Central posting Osama Bin VanVleet, How Racist is that. Jalen Green as a Chinese Dictator.

    What the Hell did those player do to them is the question.

    I honestly don't know any other player can endure so much than Jalen. It is beyond crazy.

    I’m so over it. Years and years of the same crap. Can’t blame the refs eithet. Been watching the Rockets since I was 9 just so happen when they won the back to back championships so maybe my expectations are too much. Use to watch every game in middle school and high school. Didn’t get to watch much while in college. I began watching them again. I think this is the furthest they will go with this talent.
    Although Sengun as been okay he really needs to work on his offense. Maybe a euro step as I’ve noticed his number one move is the spin and a lackluster dream shake which then turns to a flat hook shot. This shot was going in last year. Then he has the fake nowitzski and Joker fade away which misses 80 percent of the time. Green has the speed but poor shot selection and not enough strength to finish. Eason with the stupid fouls but he’s not the focal point. It looks like Fred, Adams, and Thompson (last few games only) showed up to play. They are a very young team but they better practice free throw shooting. This team suck at this all year and no improvement at all. Next year starting line up should be Fred if we bring him back, Thompson, Jabari, Sengun, Adams if we manage to sign him back. Green can come off as 6th man. The thing is we have Whittier but he never gets a lot of playing time or the chances like Green so not sure. Hopefully the Rockets figure something out. Green plays good defense I give him that but the inconsistency is what gets me. Brooks has too many dumb fouls for a guy with that Nu ch experience and is a vet on the team.

    I'd trade Jalen for whatever you can get. What a disaster of a series. Never fully believed in him but was a little hopeful. That was beyond worst case

    It didn't happen, it could have happened, I love this team, unfortunately they will learn by losing, experience is very important

    Im not giving Jalen a pass. He basically wasn’t even out there.

    it’s not an either or scenario.

    clearly the rockets rely much more on sengun and for him to play like such a complete beta is absolutely what lost us the game. Rockets have won and dominated with Jalen not contributing much.

    If Aaron Holiday gets Jalen's minutes, do we win this game?

    It was a great series, tough that we couldn't close it out.

    Eh, this team way WAY overachieved, we thought we would sneak into the playoffs.

    It sucks to lose but your young team has to lose to learn how to win, they have to feel this pain in order to get it and grow from it.

    As for the Warriors, I don't see a chance they get past Minny. Minny has all the same strengths as we do but an actual superstar player.
