    Stephen Silas was right all along, we did need a lob threat at the 5. The only thing he was wrong about is who would be throwing the lobs.

    Dunk was super nasty, I was actually shocked when he dunked it. I thought the entry pass was a bit low and he'd have to catch it and then dunk it on the second jump.

    Clint is past it. Disappointing signing. Hope I’m wrong.

    6'10 with a 7'5 wingspan means minimum lift required for a dunk. Glad to have him back.

    I give it until the end of pre-season. Stone will tear up the current contract and give Clint the "Cato contract".

    He’s slow and heavy. Could stand to lose about 10 lbs.

    Kind of wish we signed Kennard and Alexander Williams vs Clint and DFS.

    Looks like the vert shrunk a bit but that wingspan/standing reach is as impressive as ever.

    We just need to get Harden and Cp3 back to beat the warriors.

    After all that small ball bs, i LOVE that we are big and aggressive!

    Having Sengun, Adams and CC is a far cry from having Covington at center! lol!

    remember all that "bigs are unplayable in today's NBA..." squabble? Yeh, good times! lol! ;)

    You mean Alperen Sengun is the Rockets franchise lob passer.
