Game Thread: Pre-Season Game 4 vs Rockets -- Oct. 18, 2023 7 p.m. CST

Sengun is just as cringe as Doncic when he complains to the refs. this guy man

Sengun is one of the worst defenders in the league and looks incredulous every time they call a foul on him

He already has 4 fouls in barely 1 quarter

Gosh, I thought the Spurs would never recover from not getting Sengun.

[spurraider21]

Yeah he seemed more raw than most of the other lottery picks. I can't say I disagree with their choice but he's way more long-term. Not sure what Houston is doing but they certainly aren't getting deep into the playoffs for several seasons as constructed.

while hes a big overpay, i understand them wanting to get FVV into the building.he's the steadying hand who can give direction to a very young roster with guys like Green, Whitmore, Smith, Sengun, etc, at least until such time that Amen is ready to take over (only first 2 years of FVV's deal are guaranteed iirc)

i really dont understand the Brooks signing though

[Joseph Kony]

Sengun with 5 fouls in the first half

[Dejounte]

This team has a lot of weapons tbh

Having at least 3 guys who can drop 20 any given night is huge

[Mr. Body]

Not sold on Amen. Lot of work to do., he's a several year project at best, potential bust or semi bust.

He has zero fundamentals. Going to OTE is almost worse than just sitting out a year (or two, in their case).

I was saying the same thing last game. Rockets have to use money somehow before they have to pay their young players. FVV can actualy set their offense up.

Right now all the Rockets have is setting things up through Sengun. You might notice the Spurs run a second defender at him every time on the post. They have no facilitators otherwise.

[exstatic]

LOL, Rockets young core…

[Obstructed_View]

I love that Sengun is complaining to the refs. You got five fouls in a quarter and a half, bro.

[Dejounte]

Sad to say, as a guy who was neutral on McDermott.. he has regressed and looks like hes hurting the team by being out there

shooters always look worthless when the shots arent falling

but turnovers are unacceptable tbh

[scott]

Can someone post some excerpts from the Rockets forum?

[CorrectCrusader]

Tre is the only one who can direct our guys on offense.

He's definitely not having a great night. If he isn't scoring, he's a net negative player. The current offense is way too frenetic to try to evaluate him. When he and Wemby can run a two man game from the half court, I think he'll be a plus for the team once every couple of games.

McDermott has been awful in this game

I wish I were watching the same game you're watching.

[Splits]

Wemby playing like ass on both ends.

in this game...sochan is doing a better job

[Cry Havoc]

NBA refs getting started early with their utter bull this "season".

[poopbox]

Wemby playing like ass on both ends.

Rockets fouling him all the time has taken him out of any offensive rhythm. Not a bad strategy tbh

he's otherwise just been hoisting long jumpers as soon as he touches the ball. not that he cant make them, but not sure those were good shots with 17 left on the clock

[Obstructed_View]

Pop has challenged more times in preseason than he did all last year.

[scott]

Sengun stuffed by Wemby, Rockets fans calling the Suicide Hotline en masse

[r0drig0lac]

D3vin!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Wemby playing like ass on both ends.

And even so, he makes the team better on both ends.

Vassell is starting to make me believe
