  1. Stop it with Capella! Don't need him. Use Boban atleast 10 minutes a game to give Sengun rest.

  2. I'm a big believer in Jabari. I think he's going to end up being one of our best players. I hope as the season goes on he gets more plays run for him.

  3. Did this man just suggest you can’t have Sengun to close out the game? What a clown 😂

  4. Bro the dude on the right in the black shirt is so freaking stupid fire him and get someone different like if you feel the same

  5. Though I'm not interested in bringing back Clint Capela, I do agree that we have to get a backup center because watching Jock Landale out there give me bad flashbacks of when Kalvin Cato was our starting center 🤢 🤮

  6. Bad take on Sengun not closing out games, he’s been great on both sides of the ball and is no question the offensive engine

  7. I think we do need a big man with explosive leaping ability…Jabari isn’t an explosive athlete vertically. Sengun isn’t either. We do need a young lengthy leaped that can recover and defend weak side.

  8. Kpj, Josh Christopher ,And KMJ we’re all solid players. However KPJ was given free reign to run the team as the head hancho and it was a calculated fail so we would lose games but also develop him as a playmaking 2. Unfortunately he got into some domestic issues combined with his other issues and it was a waste of years and now he’s gone. That being said it’s addition by subtraction with him. Josh Christopher was a decent guard off the bench but he was a 2 guard in a point guard body and he added to the immaturity around the team as evidenced by the vid of him getting smashed by Jalen -pause -. KMJ was a good finisher around the rim and his chemistry with sengun was good but he was too small to defend 4s,too slow to defend 3s, not able to dribble well enough to attack close outs on 3s he wasn’t very good at shooting in addition to his father meddling in his career we had to ship him out. tyty Washington and garuba could end up decent but they’re both bench players so we didn’t really lose much by trading them.
    Clint capela would be an awesome addition to this team.oladipo,landale,, tate and second round picks could get it done. 20m for a great backup center to solidify our bench and provide the vertical threat dimension to our team while catching many lobs on second stringers and increasing our lead is something boban can’t do but boban would still be the third string and get 5 mins a game

  9. That was the best answer he could've given. Even if he's actually mad about it the fact that he gave that answer proves he respects the head coach and the process. And what's even better is our city's football team is operating the sameeee damn way. H Town vs All Y'all

  10. What is this guy even talking about? Capela getting paid like a starter. I like Clint but we need a cheaper rim roller and Caruso via trade.

  11. These armchair coaches. Man let Udoka do him, he has them humming, and he's trusting his guys, that's why they are playing well. He's bringing out the best of their skills, in how they use them together. When y'all go to talking about adding pieces, it just messes with the chemistry they already have. Let the coach and team figure it out, they're the ones playing.

  12. You guys called it when you said last week 7-9 game win streak incoming. Now the head out west against the clippers, Lakers, and Golden State who most like will be missing Steph. They got a chance to run it up to 9 straight. Let’s go Houston!
