Omg this is really happening. Jovic becoming the starting 4 next to Bam ROS is the miracle we deserve


Spo has perhaps seen the light. Atleast during the dog days of the regular season, keep giving Niko reps. He will continue to improve, playing with the starters.

Everybody loving Niko. What an amazing turn of events to this season. Somebody got to Spo. No question

Shut down Jimmy and let him come back after the all-star break.

Nice to see our young core thriving which would be here for a long time barring any trades in the future.

Well....

if the 20 minutes we got from him tonight is an accurate example of what we can expect....this team straight up rebooted on the fly while still pushing deep into the playoffs.

Great win. Good game for Jovic. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though. Lots of work to do still.

I have never seen anyone lock down Sengun 1 on 1 like Bam did all his points besides like 1 floater came against everyone else. I though Highsmith gave really good minutes I'm kind of shocked he's back so soon after being KOed by a full force Muay Thai elbow. KLove was the stealth MVP huge timely buckets.

Heck yeah amigo


The dude's future is so darn bright

Dude is asked to do big minutes every night....he does not have the advantage of knowing he can burn hard for 8 minutes and will be back on the bench for a breather...dude might get stuck out there for extended periods. I don't know how many games he gets stuck on the floor for over 35 mins...but it sure seems like it is most of them lately.

I don't think anyone is knocking him by bringing up his stamina....it is more a spotlight of the conditions he is having to play under.

Next year is going to be bonkers


He was our minutes leader tonight with 39. You draft a rookie and he is your stabilizer by midseason?! Thats something. Best pick since 2003.


Best pick?

So you're already confident he's going to turn out more impactful than Bam Adebayo?

I'd love to see it, personally. But damn

No coincidence Bam had the game high +/- at +12 and Sengun was right around the game low at -10.

Sengun still got some counting stats, but like you said he was often short circuited from doing what he wanted and was overall less impactful than the Rockets need him to be. Bam and Sengun ended the game with the same counting stats. But one played elite defense and floor game while the other did not.

Had a few beers in me when writing that last night. The value at 18 was my thinking. Bam the best though.
