Sengun is a joke

 

LeBron just clowning on these bums

No respect

 

Smart post. I wish we could just start over with new players outside of Amen, Durant, Adams & Reed. Just wipe the slate clean.

 

This series is over and if you don't think so you're an imbecile.

 

They wanted to save salary meaning they wont pay Kennard after this year. Kennard is redundant on their team and he is also a bad defender.

They wont take DFS because DFS is a scrub and has 12M owed to him next year.

 

Sengun is NOT him. He’s proven that over and over.

 

It's like he has no creativity. All he knows is lets tank for a Wemby-like player or trade for an aging superstar like Harden/Durant.

 

He's at 14 now. How many attempts is Ime supposed to get him? 20?

 

Ayton a outplayed Sengun smfh

 

Let's see what our young players did this off season? Jabari didnt get in the weight room. Instead he went and got tattoos. Alpren Sengun went and played euroball and came back and rested. Amen didnt work on his jumper enough. Tari got butt hurt, over his extension offer. Reed Sheppard knew he was all good on offense, but didnt work on his defense.
Then to wrap it up, We had the most unsuccessful free agent pick ups. Then doubled down on this team, at the deadline, after knowing we needed 3pt shooting and a point guard. Jesus I'm fed up with Houston sports!

 

Sengun missing these threes. Like how do u barely graze the side of the rim when you shoot from the front of three line?

 

Mentally weak. Not going to get any better. Time to go.

 

Miserable miserable miserable can’t beat someone without Randle and Gobert or Luka and Austin

 

I think the Rockets should request the nba retroactively add 11 techs to lebron for all the complaining that lesser complaining was a tech for us.

 

Don’t care of no Durant….this is one of the worst playoff losses in rockets history.

 

Eason is like **** yall. I’m getting that next contract somewhere. Stat padding my stuff.

 

He needs to play more like Jokic.

 

Disgusting loss. Without Luka and Reeves this is a 30 win team

 

Where is the help defence then?

The offensive end is the biggest problem. I'm not worried about the defensive end. The Lakers got hot and still only scored 107 points. We kept them to only 42 points in the second and third combined. The problem was that we scored just 37 points ourselves.

 

I'm from SoCal and I hate that I would have to deal with this loss from people around me until we actually win the series
