Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' franchise player

that boy trash

 

He is so lazy lately and his defense is absolute trash. He refuses to box out while opposing bigs are getting 15+ rebounds around him. I don’t know if he feels he’s arrived or he got use to Jabari and Steven getting rebounds but he always has his hands out hoping for a bail out, it’s pathetic. He’s been so disgustingly lately, you’ve only earned one all-star, you haven’t done s*** in this league.

 

Begs for bailouts but can't even hit his free throws, especially in the clutch.

 

I feel like he's playing hurt, or at least, isn't fully trusting his ankle again.

 

He was fasting during Ramadan and it was a day game so prolly why he played liked garbage

 

Don't overreact to Sengun vs Miami. They've always been Sengun kryptonite

Sengun has his CAREER WORST offensive rating versus Miami, 2nd worst career points per game of all teams. Miami is the classic "bad matchup" team

Bam Adebayo already was 5 time All Defensive team & 3 time All Star before Sengun got his 1st All Star. Bam is a very good player, not a slouch. Miami is who Sengun is "supposed" to look bad against.

 

Its not just against Miami, its been happening quite often this season. He was always little soft and not good on defense, we would brush it off because he's still very young but if this is just who he is (soft n bad on defense), thats almost impossible to change.

 

But it’s not just this game, he’s been playing bad for months outside of the odd good game against subpar competition

 

This excuse doesn't work here, we've seen what real superstars look like during Ramadan I'm afraid.

 

Crazy to me how the All Star voting system works. He deserved an All Star in his 3rd year when he was actually baby Jokic and didnt get it. Now he's gotten two pity All Stars after that when he hasnt deserved it.

Feel like those have made him more complacent. He has been *trash* this year. If I hear Craig say "Flamingo" one more time im gonna throw my shoe at my Amazon Fire Stick.

 

he’s only 23. He’ll get better. The coach won’t because he’s a narcissist. Sengun needs to be traded before Ime ruins his trade value. I think this game goes differently with a healthy Jabari. People forget how our defense went to sh*t last year when Jabari got hurt. He is by far the most underrated Rocket, especially at 22 years old. He needs to keep putting on muscle every year and become a real PF and small ball center next year and eventually a stretch center full-time. Trading Sengun for Giannis would be really stupid. In reality, no roster adjustment is going to make us contenders as long as Ime is coach. If we trade Sengun, it should be for either top 3 draft picks or up and coming young players that will hit NBA speed in 2 years when Ime is gone.

 

I recall the Academy Awards being like that, sometimes you don't get the Oscar for your peak performance, but then they have you on their watch list and when you get enough nominations, they get you one for a smaller performance.

 

Let’s just hope the Bucks love Sengun and multiple picks.

 

lol

 

FVV, Amen, Durant, Giannis, Adams with Ime as coach. Doesn’t get any better than that. We would march (not run) to the first round.

 

OMG - is it Ramadan again?

Clearly that has an effect.

DD

 

idk man. the low-effort, flapping jaw, brickfest ain't it.

 

Him not drinking his daily bottle of vodka since he’s fasting is the problem. We need alcoholic Sengun to return.

@Snow Villiers

 

so Ramadan is now the latest excuse….

we’ve gone from his coach, his teammates, the refs not calling fouls, because he’s getting doubled, he has no legs because he’s playing so much defense, he’s tired from doing Eurobasket, his ankle, and now Ramadan

I’m sure there’s a few others I’m missing

What will it be next week?

 

His shoes are too heavy. Dude plays like he's walking in mud.
