    No, I don't think that AT ALL, I fully believed you when you said you were being sincere, which is why I said "of course". I can't think of any reason whatsoever why ANYONE would think that you were anything less than a completely serious poster just speaking your mind. Good to have you around.

    If you really are being sincere, you understand that Ime was the one who formed his offense around Sengun last year and has said he will lean more into it this year. Ime was the one benching Jalen at the end of games last year. Jalen after just last game against NOR said we play through Alpy and wait for the kick out from double teams. Given Ime’s actions since becoming head coach, what makes you think Jalen is the “franchise player” and Alpy has to “fit around him” and not the other way around?

    100% troll, no other way you can be this clueless. Or maybe one of those JG stans who have lost all credibility due to their wild JG takes over the years and is now thinking they can fool us with an alt. Although I don’t think they’d be trolling this obviously if that was the case. Then again, never underestimate stupidity.

    Anyway does it really matter in any case? There are a bunch of JG fanatics here who’ve been posting the same **** more or less with a straight face for years so let’s just add another one to the pile.

    Sure, here’s my reasoning behind why Jalen's leap in March shows he's the franchise player:

    1. Once he finds consistency, Jalen can score against any defensive scheme.
    2. Besides Denver, most championship teams play high-tempo basketball, and Jalen thrives in that style, making it difficult for defenses to match up with him during fast-paced transitions.
    3. Ime’s offensive approach doesn’t align with a slower-paced game like Alpy's, meaning Sengun mainly serves as a decoy to create space for exceptional athletes like Jalen and Amen.
    4. Jalen often says things in front of the media to support Sengun, showing his thoughtfulness towards teammates, which reflects his leadership qualities.
    5. Unfortunately, I haven't heard Ime state that the team would focus on running plays through Sengun, indicating that he's fully committed to Jalen's March performance and overall improvement.
    6. Jalen has shown more control in his game compared to the past, as evidenced in the last game against New Orleans.
    7. We can't overlook the impact of aura and popularity.

    Uh, hi, Clutchfans...
    I've been doing some thinking, and I got some ideas to improve the team.
    1. Jalen needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.
    2. Whenever Jalen's not on screen... all the other players should be asking, "Where's Jalen?"
    3. ...I'll just leave the rest of them here in the GARM on my way out.

    I apologize, but I didn’t fully grasp what you meant. Would you mind explaining further? Thank you.

    Thanks for the details but I am curious how you think Orlando Magic blew it in 2022?

    I think you meant they blew it for the Rockets, your statement however reads like they blew it for their franchise....

    I think you misunderstand the sentiment, I already stated Tilman and Stone did a decent enough job but I don't think they have the mental capability of the Rocket legends and Rocket organization back then.

    Thats exactly what I mean - Orlando blew it. They took Banchero and let the best player in that draft fall to OKC.
    Banchero puts up numbers, but I don't believe he plays a winning brand of basketball. The numbers are empty.

    I think Banchero is just a different breed of player, a Boozer and Deron Williams hybrid.

    While Chet is probably a new breed, a freak, him and Wemby are guard like Centers.

    If you think Chet is better, that is totally legitimate but Banchero is probably a 1B.

    Plus Chet was injured heavily and Banchero seemed durable 2 years ago.

    2 years ago Banchero looked like the safer pick.

    To be honest, I use ChatGPT to make my sentences clearer, if that's OK with you all. I don't want there to be any misunderstandings between my fellow Rockets fans. I'm not an alt of anyone. I'm curious as to why some people have this opinion. I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks in advance.

    Everything I say comes from my own feelings and ideas, although I use the AI to help me express my thoughts more clearly. I was hoping that we could focus on the discussion of our team and not on me. I appreciate your understanding, and I hope I've been of no disrespect to anyone here. Thanks for your time.

    Do you all think that my line of reasoning makes sense? If anyone could share their thoughts, I'd really appreciate it. I'd love to hear what you think about this.
