    It's a good time to be a Houston Sports fan but that OKC squad is gonna be a tough rival for years to come.

    I wasn't all that high on Amen during the draft process .... but he was actually playing pretty well before the injury - particularly on the defensive end, he was really disruptive in the 4 games we did see him in.

    He will have to improve upon that 18.2% from beyond the arc.

    Jalen still looks pretty lost. He's been better but he's still been .... not good.

    You can't be great without having a great rival.

    A smart coach can always turn a smart player into something useful. Chuck's a very smart player with physical limitations on offense. Sengun is a very smart player with physical limitations on defense.

    Intelligence is one of the most underrated talent in the NBA.

    Yeah, I was worried about his level of comp and wonky shot, but he looked good in SL and has had flashes in a few games. You can tell offensively the game is still fast for him and he'll need to do a better job handling the ball and controlling the tempo vs damn the torpedoes--full speed ahead approach.
