    Cam's passing ability was always there, he was just too immature to do it. If he can overcome that, look out!

    I can't believe they finished .500. I'm so proud of them. They far surpassed my expectations for the year.

    Also, Amen is an absolute monster. If he ever learns to shoot look out, because he's already good at pretty much everything else.

    .500 has a nice ring to it, especially with Sengun missing so many games.

    .500 with busts, bricks and baby hooks. I’m impressed.

    The young talent on this team is impressive. Got to put it all together next season. Almost is not going to be enough next year.

    It was good to see the improvement, Amen got the triple double and Jalen had almost as many points as shot attempts.

    Nope. He has literally never demonstrated the ability to pass. Doesn’t mean he can’t develop it, but let’s not pretend he didn’t drop 20 spots because of his historically bad awareness and passing ability in college.

    Team could have been a few games over .500 if they had Josh Christopher.

    Even with continued improvement, we need a team or two to implode. Don't expect the Grizzlies to be at the bottom of the standings next year. I'm hoping for the Warriors or Lakers to somehow take the plummet

    And don't forget my boy Isaiah Hartenstein, who is likely going to make an All-Defense team this year. And he'd also make All-NBA if stupid Tom Thibodeau would unleash him on offense.

    Hairystein is like a punch to the gut every time I see his stat line. I hope Tilman makes the Rock do a push up for every board he gets and a sit up for every point he scores.

    That last 12 mins of Boban was fun to watch. If he retires that was a good way to go out for him. Does make me think though in games we struggled with height, 5-10 mins of Boban might of helped a little.

    Congrats to the boys for making .500. I didn't think they would get that many wins.

    Young guys will hopefully be hungry and will work hard to improve as much as they can in the off season.

    Me and my son will also make our debut trip to the US for about 3 weeks from late December. We will be looking forward to see the Rockets in person at the Toyota centre. Can't wait!

    A solid season, u would figured we were sht with the amount of btching from the anti senguns and jaters.

    Improvement from our youngsters, a coach that holds his players accountable, future is bright. If sengun didn't get injured playoff was possible this year

    Nigerians are never racist, they just prefer other Nigerians.

    Negative. There's a difference between having the ability to pass and being willing to pass. He can do it, he just never did do it. That's why he dropped. Maturity. And he's still not there yet on that front.

    He dropped because a source sent a message of red flags before the Draft and that rarely happens so close before the Draft.

    It's irresponsible though. They were out to get him (I feel it is more personal) and the 20th pick makes so much less than a 5th or 6th pick.

    Another season. Been here since Yao's rookie season.

    Thank you everyone for making this site what it is. Even Stone's groupies.
    Great season, future looks bright. If this was the start of our process, please dont let phase 2 be the Colangelo years in Philly. Be patient and dont sell the farm if its not a star.

    I forgot to mention- being at the game earlier, besides the whole Boban free chicken incident-They were giving away free concessions the entire night and I couldn’t believe it. A season ticket holder sitting next to me theorized that they had a surplus of inventory and since they were leaving the building behind and going with new contracts and new vendors next season, they decided to just give it all away. Everything except alcoholic beverages, three items per vendor.

    pretty cool way to end the season!
