Sengun saved @SportsVanessa twice from the ball in the interview. He almost forgot what to say, trying to protect her. And they say his defense was bad lol

To me, the headline was: “This year everyone knows their roles, noone tries to do extra”

He is still very valuable. There is noone like him—including his twin. Two things holding him back: - Unrealistic and impatient expectations have put him under too much pressure - Playing him in a role where he is not comfortable (under that same pressure)
Thoughts on Amen Thompson through 21 games? 17.4 PTS 7.0 REB 5.1 AST (2.7 TOV) 1.4 STL 0.5 BLK 54.1 TS% 20.5 3P% (2.1 3PA/g) 80.0 FT% (4.3 FTA/g) +/- +9.1 Special talent. We know that, but he absolutely has to improve his efficiency outside the restricted area…. Only 31.3% on

We all believed and defended Cam at some point. Once again he showed every each one us—if you dont have mental growth capacity you can never survive as a pro athlete. Your natural physical gifts means nothing. But he is still young. I wish he finds better mentors that he
Brian Keefe on Cam Whitmore, who didn't play tonight. "We have certain standards that we have for our team. He has to live up to those on the better. And he'll have a chance here, but that's gonna be up to him when that time comes."

- Paint points allowed first 19 games: 45.7 - Paint points allowed last two games: 66 I see weird takes. People gotta stop underestimating Sengun’s impact on the floor. Both on offense and the defense. We are 1-8 without him in 2025

Suns game: - We remembered we got a dude named KD. He took over.

Elephant in the room: Did Houston Rockets know DFS would miss at least half a season before they signed him?
Two @HoustonRockets injury updates ⬇️ - Dorian Finney-Smith now “starting to ramp it up,” with live action in practice. Houston eyes January return for DFS Finney-Smith hasn’t played in 2025-26 after ankle surgery - Houston hopes Tari Eason (oblique) returns late this month

Kings game: - Sometimes me sometimes you is back. If we continue this, im telling you—its probably a first round exit. An offense of my turn your turn wont get us anywhere. Not in the offseason. New found structure based on senhub and kd made us the second best offense in the

People might assume my position here is because of the possibility of Sengun leaving. Nope i dont want to give away Amen as well.

I think “sometimes me, sometimes you, always us” chaos is officially back. Kd’s presence did gave us some kind of structure. But now he gave up too.

Remember! There will be a lot of demand and competition—Bucks will want everything teams have. No Nico deals. They will ask for best players and the most valuable picks. It’s an ok gamble for a playin team that goes nowhere, but its a possible suicide for a contender who has
A question to check the pulse of Rockets fans: Would you trade for Giannis with a package centered around Amen Thompson? Alperen Sengun? Jabari Smith? Or not even entertain the thought?

They can safely give that lady some stage time during break— who shoot bows and arrows with her feet upside down. Even if she fails miserably probably noone gets hurt
I can’t remember a game I’ve been at that has fewer fans in the stands. They just did a t-shirt toss, and I think everyone got one.

This is remarkable. We have the firepower and quality of Superteams (Sengun and KD) and we have something most superteams don’t have: High end support of very talented players (with even greater potential)

His finishing around the rim is up to 61%, his old self this season. Keep up. Eye test confirms this easily. Just gotta watch the games with EYES. And no he is not sloppy. You make up things up. He plays like shit we all criticize him, but dont invent shit that isnt there.

Memo Okur who is a huge reason my love for the NBA, interviewed by his daughter. This is funny a trend in social media lately. Very cute family ❤️

His early cornerstone stats were like “youngest center to do it”. Now he has grown—and he is making history.

Jazz game: - Sengun is officially back. But we wasted a masterpiece from him, not just because of the loss, it sounds weird but we could have used his gravity even more. We are not playing smart in the critical possessions, and those cost a lot. Sengun is our best decision

Rockets’ habit of miscommunication with the injuries is exhausting, man. This is not classified info. And we need some good local reporting as well.
Where is Dorian Finney-Smith? We’ll be more than 25% of the way through the season after this week, and there’s no update or timeline set for his return. This has largely gone under the radar because the Rockets are winning, but his availability is becoming a concern.
