    Can the Jabari Smith - Sengun relationship be salvaged?

    It's been 10 hours and still no.

    I dropped a decent amount on good seats for a Rockets back to back at Staples in early 2012. The good guys lost both games but it still ruled.

    Was amazing how different the experience was between Lakers and Clippers home games, even though it was the same building. Lakers vibe was way cooler. Clippers fans were weirdly angry even tho their team was awesome at the time

    There's no unfair situation here dude, it only exists in your mind. You created it. Everyone here - including Alperen - is just motivated and happy to improve. His career is on a great path if you ask anyone who has watched NBA for 20+ years, he is on a very good speed towards becoming an All Star if he keeps improving at same speed.

    If you made a movie in your head about how everything is unfair and Sengun's career is cursed, it's only in your head so don't worry it will not happen.

    I'm lost. Did I miss where Mrs. Sengun had to go to the hospital last night or something? Why again are we literally being asked to pray to a higher power for a Houston Rockets basketball player??

    While Silas clearly doesn't like the kld, benching him against Pacers was the right thing to do because Jabari played good D at 5 and offense was working so i don't get the outrage. That being said it's annoying that it's becoming a trend now. I mean obviously don't bring him back if sh*ts working without him but you can't just sit your 2nd best player for 15 minutes straight every night.

    I'm a Sengun only fan and even i'm sick of some Sengun only fans. I can't imagine the anguish of Rockets fans who have to deal with some of them every day.

    On yesterday, i think he should have been benched in 2nd quarter. He had a horrible 2nd qtr and played the most minutes in 1st half then he relatively had a good 3rd quarter and never checked back in but then again the Rockets were doing better without him this game.

    While the thread title and some of the posts are a bit dramatic, without doubt, there is no equal treatment or appropriate treatment of Alpi by Silas and the coaching staff.

    Playing Nix 35 minutes until he fouls out while pulling Alpi repeatedly in a punitive way and letting him rot on the bench for the last 15-20 minutes makes no sense, given the fact that others who make mistakes aren't treated that way.

    This will remain true, no matter how many mocking posts @Os Trigonum and others will make.

    Love you too, Os, but...

    It's one thing to mock overly emotional "one player only" supporters, but that doesn't mean that they aren't right about their hero not being given a fair shake.

    Two things can be true at the same time:
    • Silas and his gang play favourites and are utterly incompetent and unfair
    • Some (actually rather few) fans of Sengun go way overboard and don't care about the Rockets

    look closely and you'll see that's all I do. Hate the sin, love the sinner. Love Sengun, hate the Sengunatic.
