    Hahaha the passion part is so overrated and cringe. Just because a guy mean mugs and jumps up and down after every made basket doesn't make the guy who doesn't less passionate...

    Guys like Westbrook have irrational confidence and truly believe they are the best player on the court. Jalen needs some more of that because he has the skills to match yet becomes passive for long stretches.

    Ah yes kpj isn't the primary option b/c "looks at boxscore" he took one less shot than green. U figured Silas would pull any other player if he took 18 shots and only got 20 pts out of it.

    Man was behaving in a way gamers described as tilted.

    Trading John Wall to develop KPJ as PG is big mistake.

    Imagine if we had traded KPJ instead of John Wall, playmaking is not problem.

    are you really trynig to say alpi has fouled out in all of 80 or something games where he didnt play 30+ minutes?

    or that silas was sitting him earlier to avoid fouling out to save his contributions for the clutch time?

    and we know silas benches him in the clutch regardless of the foul trouble lolololol

    i suggest you switch to the stamina argument now...loolololol

    or hes better off playmaking for the second unit argument

    or hes slowfooted or whatever the newest SOF(silas only fans) shtick is

    bureaucracy and /or politics...theres no a real incentive for anyone in nba do anything more then just go tru motions, except for the intrinsically motivated....

    thats why some cashiers at the supermarket dont smile at customers because she doesnt care ie their pay is the same....and some do care and they smile...

    Only valid concern at least to me for sengun rookie season was his obvious stamina issue and C. Wood absorbed much of his mins.
    last year was an endless btchfest from u about how green is prioritized over sengun hence the lack of mins b/c of draft positions (choosing to fully ignore that they play different position).

    If u deny seeing sengun huffing and puffing his a$$ during his rookie season, u are just outright lying.
    Look at green now? he's doing quite well and synergizing well with sengun.

    I think if green can become the best player if he keeps this type of performance up. Sengun has a competitor in his draft mate.

    hey, buddy, i'm busy with programming a posts-reply-bot which can bail me out from lousy copy/paste works (Gifs, pix, vids and tweets links)...once it being accomplished, the sheer pleasure of scrolling memes and punchlines in game day threads will never go away:)

    P.S. you'd better photoshop the W-L plate held by Wilt Silas...it looks outta date now.

    He is one of the Splash brothers but not as potent. Meaning he probably scores more in first halves.

    Maybe Jim Crane can send one over.

    So, here’s a crazy idea for him. Get a real point guard!

    Ok I thought this all last year and now I'm thinking it again. The Rockets need Jamal Shead. He's a REAL pg.

    He gets the ball plenty. Could he get more touches? Sure. But he's botched so many to date, it is natural that his teammates are going to trust him less and less as we go forward.

    I don't hate Jabari, but you can't just keep repeating "he's young" as he shows zero NBA-level impact across the first quarter of the season. At some point, he has to contribute SOMETHING

    Looked like Josh Christopher was trying to insure his spot on the bench.
