    Jokic, double the next best guy. Good news for Rockets fans, Sengun is the next best guy. Even better news, Sengun is also double the next guy after him.

    Now imagine if we had a coach capable actually running an offensive system designed to take advantage of Alpi's abilities like Joker does.

    He should be on the table during the offseason. He gives more effort playing for free in the summer for his country than he does for the team paying him 40M.

    If i'm Sengun i'm getting the **** out of here asap. Gets no service whatsoever. No post-ups, no pnrs. He has to force everything fight his way to the rim, and score over three defenders. It's terrible. Free him.

    Another shite game from this empty numbers clown. He just throws up junk at the rim and then yells and pleads for a foul most of the time. And then on defense, he's a cone and soft as hell. Bam and Ware acted like he wasn't even there. Mr. Pleading Hands has been awful for months on end now.

    This game is a microcosm of Sengun’s weaknesses. Because he can’t shoot (poor from the outside, his touch on the inside is meh), he struggles against athleticism, length, and a well coached team with good help defense. His rebounding is problematic, cannot block out and grab rebounds in the same sequence. Has very little feel for where to go. But yeah, any time he faces a favorable matchup against a rookie who has never played him before some here will say “see!”

    He doesn't know how to score unless he's in front of the rim then huh? His offense game is extreemely limited and just plain sucks then. Worst TS% BY FAR by a 20 PPG scorer in the ENTIRE league. It's not EVEN CLOSE. Do you know how hard that is to do as a center?

    I think this is true, and he can't be the focus, he is just not good enough, I think the Rox should trade him for some better shooting.....

    Nobody runs pnr with him or lets him operate in the post. Reed straight up ignored him three times in the last quarter. He's expected to fight his way to the rim ten times a game, not get tired and somehow not get schemed against and still put up 25–26 points per game. It’s unfortunate that he’s playing with extremely low IQ players under an even worse coach when you think about it. They should end his suffering.

    Yes, please, free him. Get him outta here. (Yeah, Amen can go too! I’m over both.)

    Bum ass. Can’t make bunnies, can’t make free throws, can’t make threes, awful on defense.

    Got b****ed by Bam, Ware and Korver err Pelle Larsson @Dobbizzle

    His ankle must be bothering him again @Reeko

    Sengun had 6 rebs today in 35 mins.

    Bam had 11 rebs.

    Ware had 15 rebs in 29 mins.

    His scoring and passing have all taken a step back as well as his defense. And his rebounding is somehow also regressing.

    This off season id move him. Been feeling that way for a while mostly because I dont see him and Amen being a successful pairing long term. But his play has also left a lot to be desired.

    Should’ve surprised everyone by pulling the trigger this past deadline. Could’ve gotten a lot back for him from some dumb team. Just trade him this offseason, get another perimeter player and hopefully a pick. Get rid of Eason too

    I didn’t watch the game, so I can only go by the boxscore

    13 points on 14 shots plus 4 turnovers seems about right for him, but it looks like the box score doesn’t even come close to telling the whole story today based off what I’m reading

    Clearly Ime's fault Sengun can't hit a layup or play base level defense. Blame Ime, Blame Silas, Blame Jalen, Blame KPJ etc...

    Sengun fanbois will be all in their feelings when you tell them he’s not it

    pretty soon, the league will value him like they do Sabonis

    b-b-but he’s only 23 :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    b-b-but he’s a 2x All-Star :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    the age cope is so fcking lame when he’s been the same dude for 2-3 years now
