    And I don't think nobody has issue with that.

    But what's wrong with showing what people have said for past two years? If I post for 2 years joke after joke after joke, meme after meme after meme about a player, and that player becomes the best player in that team of course people will make fun of me. Are we supposed to treat them like special needs children?

    The SEE? was directed at the SOFs themselves. I resent the fact that many longtime Rox fans (in my case, I started following the team over half a century ago) are being labeled not "true" fans because we don't buy into the idea that one guy is the second coming of Dream.

    I'm fine with the thread. It was one particular post that rubbed me the wrong way. Carry on.

    My oh my, how the goalposts have moved! Now it's when the SOFs say that Alperen is the "2nd coming of Dream," that makes them CRAZY. (No one says that...)

    Before it was, "becoming a good defender," or a "Sabonis-lite," or "running a Princeton-ish," or any number of realistic statements that have proven to be on the money. Many of the SOFs were right and were heavily mocked/dismissed along the way. (OUR OWN DAMN BORN AND BRED HOUSTON ROCKETS DRAFT PICK! :eek::D)

    Honestly, I havent seen any in a while.

    Sengun has won over the fans IMO.
    Hopefully, some other guys can as well.

    SOF don’t exist (maybe one but he was banned), every Rocket fan is a Sengun fan, why wouldn’t you be a fan of your best player. There are some narcissistic armchair wannabe scouts who think their takes are more important than team success, these are not Rocket fans.

    It does seem unbelievable a Rockets fan wouldnt be a fan of Sengun.
    But I read things that are unbelievable to me every day on this forum.

    Its the internet bro, don't take it personally.

    Today's age of social media is clowning people for either their actions or their opinions, on the flip side when the opinions or actions are good or right you'll always hear less of it then the opposite side.

    You also don't need basketball IQ to post on a basketball forum.

    Can't believe we got him in the mid first round. What a steal. Glad he is a rocket. Hope he continues to get better.

    SOF definitely exist and you're the president of the fanclub. Also he's not our best player, he was just playing the most consistent at a time Jalen was learning Ime. Jabari finding himself. Sengun's a good talent but you guys overreact to everything he does

    He is definitely our best player. That’s ok, if Jalen and/or Jabari keep developing we could have a big 3.
    I know he’s not the type of player you want as the rockets best player but you’re going to have to get used to it. Sorry, not sorry

    Sengun is my favorite player to watch by far, and also our best and most consistent player. I just love his grit and passion. We're going to see many double doubles down the road with him. It's only going to get better.

    No he's not lol. If Sengun took off 5 games, we'd still be a competitive team. Jabari can give you everything Sengun gives with more touches. The more Jalen gets his rhythm the more obvious it is he's CLEARLY our franchise

    Literally no one agrees with you. It’s ok to have your prejudices, keep them to yourself.
    Enjoy the Rockets having multiple good young players and some vets to lead them. But this team will go as Alp goes. That’s just the facts

    Clutch knows better. It’s why there’s radio silence
