    Thank you for this important history @J.R. We shall place it in a time capsule to be located in the Udoker wing of the Turkish Goon Museum in Istanbul.

    “There’s always room for more threes but I like shooting threes so that’s me.”

    Franchise point guard officially smarter than our “head coach”.

    Not sure about anybody else but I am def souring on the Sengun/Amen pairing. In todays NBA I dont think its smart for the Double Dragon to be bad 3 pt shooters, the only team like that are the Magic and look at them lol.

    IMO Sengun and Jalen could have worked and Amen and Jalen could have worked. But looking at it now I think Sengun and Amen just get in other's way since both require spacing and open lanes to do their thing.

    Everybody ragging on Sengun's inefficiency but thats because Amen is just ignored on defense and they target KD and Sengun. Meanwhile Amen becomes invisible during crunch time but thats also because Sengun cant shoot 3s so they all collapse the paint and he has no space to drive.

    Memo to Udoka: Leave Sheppard the **** alone. Don’t talk to him or about him- avert your eyes when he comes in a room. Just play him 35 minutes a night, every night.

    They were both on last year's death squad with Fred, Dillon, JSJ, but yeah circumstances have to be perfect for them to co-exist. Although Amen makes virtually any lineup better regardless

    Nah start him. Only positive things will happen by starting him. Anytime he starts, he seems to blow up no matter the team.

    Well he is a grown man with his own thoughts and doesn’t need any Rocket fan who doesn’t know anything going on behind the scenes to think for him. But yet fans still cry foul and fire when there is no evidence of such.

    Lol again you’re thinking for him when you don’t have any information to go by but assumption and judgement. The man has been saying this for months about the coaches and development team.

    he actually shot 33% 3’s as a starter.

    with that said, I see some improvement in his decision making and aggressiveness on both ends. Still lots of careless turnovers and rushing shots but some slight improvement and played well last couple games
