    I went one step better. I gave them all a ring, but for some reason, none of them would take my call :D

    They have "decency" problem then. What is the reason to be HC/GM/Owner if you don't reply a fan?

    Udoka, Brooks, and FVV are giving Şengün tough love because they believe in him.

    They don’t mention Jalen because there is no one thing he can change to become a star. Jalen is irrelevant unless he makes a quantum leap across the board. It would be like telling Hasheem Thabeet to improve his jump shot. Kind of pointless.

    Fred came out and said Jalen is making a lot of winning plays and how proud of him he is. Which is kinda like when your 5 year old brings a shitty drawing from art class and you put it on the refrigerator so he feels good about himself.

    I’m tired of you quoting me with your coping.

    I’d like you to know that I’m petitioning the NBA hall of fame to demand that Sengun be named not only a HOFer in his third season, he also be named the greatest defensive player to have ever lived, as well as inquiring about the possibility of several statues being erected around every arena. Nothing less will do for the only perfect defender to have ever existed.

    Again you're trying to make this into "Sengun only fan angry at criticism" and its not that but thats all you have so you keep changing the argument. My valid argument here as a guy who doesnt hate Jalen and I love Dillon is that Segun has been our most consistent guy not only offensively but by the numbers he's top 3 defensively as well and top 2 in the starting line up. My anger here is that I dont see the other guys who struggle way more than he does and who were picked higher than him get talked to like this. This is a legitimate concern that anyone who follows this team should have. We're wasting time focusing on the wrong ****ing things. Just like last year and Sengun is the only one who really improved.

    Do even one more better, pull up to their company office or make a Antonio Montana home visit and iron it out ASAP

    I’m not the one making this into anything Broseph. Take a deep breath. Sengun can withstand milquetoast critiques I promise, stop crying about it.

    This is not a concern to me, because Sengun says is likes it, and asks for it…he’s said this multiple times…

    this is from yesterday

    Sengun is a great guy he will say stuff like that (He even said nice things about Silas when SIlas was treating him like ****) but if we are going to do that to him the others should get it more. Its not worried about Senguns feelings and I think thats the assumption with the concern here. The other guys should be developed like Sengun. Jalen should receive even more pressure. He's playing like ass.

    I post here because the Houston Rockets are my favorite team ever. It’s not me either bud. It’s not you. It’s not Jalen. It’s not Dillon.

    Are you ready for it?

    He is the team superstar that's why. This year he is the guy and he has deserved it though his play. But you know what happens when you are the star of the team and the one that the team is advertising for the all star game? You get more scrutiny. It's a good thing not a bad thing. They are trying to push him to reach the potential they see in him and they feel like he can handle it.
    You know why others are not being called out like that? Bc they are not as good as him right now and the team does not value them as much.
