  1. I commented on how Sengun could have 10 assists per game if we had better shooters, in social media. A Denver fan commented that they have bad shooters but Jokic is able to achieve 10 assists every game. Then, I showed him the stats that how the worst Nuggets shooter is better than the best Rockets shooter. He shut up.

  2. Alpi only played 29 minutes and had 16 points.Jabari played 36 minutes and only had 6 points.Alpi was taken off the game 5 minutes before the end of the first and second period.The coach must see that this is not working.

  3. What stood out to me was all the uncontested layups the Warriors got. That’s just uncharacteristic of a team that’s ranked second in the league defensively.

  4. I like Jalen Green, but it seems he and Alpi struggle to coexist on the court. Green is not a spot-up shooter, which limits his ability to capitalize on the open shots Alpi creates for him. The Rockets face a tough decision: they need to choose between building around Alpi or Jalen and part ways with one of them. In my opinion, the team should prioritize Alpi. Over the past two years, he has been more consistent than Jalen, and his ceiling appears to be higher.
