    Are both averaging 53% TS and 48% EFG on the season right now.

    That is bad. We paid them a lot of money.

    Rockets have no superstar, real #1 option, a real go-to scorer, etc

    in the playoffs, that’s a recipe for being easy work

    Nobody is winning a championship purely on defense in this league when two of their biggest shot takers (Jalen and Fred) are well below average in TS%, FG%, and 3PT%.

    Both guys currently on NBA today. So far I have learned Sengun speaks more clear English than Jalen now.

    Ben Wallace was also paid a lot of money... and wouldn't come close to that in this era
