    Sengun is getting due praise for his 40 point performance against the Indiana Fever in last night's nailbiter. Indeed, his +4 +/- was our margin of victory. What could be better?

    Jae'Sean Tate's answer: Perfection. With a 4 for 4 outbreak in 14 minutes of play, Tate's impact was a mere 4x better with his +17

    Without his heroics, we get embarrassed. Without Sengun's, we get overtime.

    I searched the annuls for previous claims of Tate's destiny to being our next Stevie Franchise and found no record of it. If he moves on before the trade deadline, at least we know, and may he know, that for one night, with PGKD sidelined, he was the Rockets Franchise Player™

    Tate has been looking good because he's literally one of the only people on the roster that can dribble the basketball.

    Tate is Udoka's secret weapon. Whenever nothing is working, he brings Tate out to see if it changes the fate.

    Tate was not playing well at the beginning of the season, but he is now playing very well. Besides being a plus defender, Tate has touch around the basket. Ime needs to find this dude some minutes. Great energizer bunny.

    Trade him for Giannis straight up while his stock is high.

    Maybe now we can get the two 2nd rounders we were offered and turned down a couple yrs ago at the deadline.
