    wood is a diamond , SPECIAL PLAYER....and should stay, you can give alpi full reign without getting rid of wood

    the reason that didnt work was because the team suddenly stopped playing tru sengun...

    Option 1 start Alp at pf and keep wood

    Will they do that? No they can't think outside the box

    Option 2 fire Silas

    Looks like they won't do that either

    Option 3 ,trade wood for scraps and start sengun at c

    They probably are dumb enuff to do option 3

    Option 4 never start sengun and resign wood

    I take it back they will probably pick option four

    Uh they tried Alp at pf and Wood at center tonight for a couple minutes and it was horrible, the magic went on a huge run. If Silas wants to play those two together something's got to change with the way they play.

    Yeah I think Sengun and Wood can work if they just play with 3 shooters and play through Sengun rather than trying to play through a guard. I'd at least like to see them give it a shot. When they play double big plus a point guard and run the offense normally it just does not work at all, all the same issues as the Wood/Theis lineups.

    they dont even need to be spectacular at playing together just decent..stagger their minutes, play both 30 minutes a night and then their playing time will overlap only for 12 minutes...both can shoot pass defend the perimeter... theres absolutely no reason for it to not work...

    1) sengun can't handle the min load yet cause of stamina
    2) foul trouble, dude fouls like crazy

    Until sengun solves that sht no fking way he gets 30 mins regardless of who is coach

    How do you know Sengun has stamina issues if he barely logs 20 minutes per game?

    U right wrong of me 2 assume that when I see him outperforming everyone on the court.
    But still needs to learn how 2 foul less or he's gonna b able to log in 30 mins per game

    1 ticky-tack foul in 19 minutes??
    Half the fouls he gets, he gets the rookie treatment.

    Sengun plays like he wants the person guarding him to know they aren't on his level basketball IQ-wise

    lol silas apologists always look funny... they dont even need a refutation... their arguments are self defeating and self contradictory...

    I believe he is the future leader this team will follow.

    Could be. Sengun is a smart player with a lot of talent. A lot could happen over these next 2 years. Rockets are trying to get more swings at the bat to stockpile talent so they can make business decisions once they no longer own their pick

    Sengun plays less mins than a sht ton of players on the team yet is 2nd in personal foul on this team w/ 60 only behind by Tate by 6.

    But sure

    And the game would not have been a blowout.

    OKC is straight garbage and we barely won a nail biter.

    Sengun and Wood can work.




    Just don't have House in there with them and be cognizant of the spacing.
    Sengun could probably play well with any lineup. He just knows how to generate good looks.
