    Another day, another round of crying.

    The perpetual cycle continues.

    The schedule will get harder, the opponents better, the success will diminish. The people who are annoyed by the Sengun purity tests will take the opportunity to push their crow, which will lead to more crying, more purity tests and on and on and on and on and on.

    I’m sure you understand you are completely in the minority with your take.
    Typically speaking, that would make you incorrect

    No, there wasn’t. Unless a two game preseason sample is “well documented”.

    I'm in the same camp. Awful coach, terrible talent recognition. Just an overall train wreck of a coach. But unless ya know the man anything else is just speculation (which is a fundamental tenet of the internet :))

    I've seen plenty of terrible bosses that were actually pretty good people so IMO I can't condemn the dude.

    Not necessarily, no, but in this case especially I think it's obvious that the concept was faulty. At the time it was dubious at best, it's not like the concept was rock solid. If your foundation is highly questionable at the time, you better get it right, or you're going to look like an idiot. And he didn't get it right.

    Had to check the time stamps on the comments multiple times bc I thought I was reading comments from last year lol. Seriously though why so many comments about last year when we have a brand new coach, brand new season with basically a brand new approach. Who cares about last year?

    I am seeing that most posters here comprehend it the same way I do. They should have the same reluctance and inabilities. And the same Sengun-centric view. Or maybe they are even more of an idiot than I am, because they conclude the same way even if they are not sengun-centered.

    Or as a last option, you don't have the ability to see things correctly even after they transpired.

    Will you expand your Ignore list?

    Or did you free the Harden doubters......

    Frank really nailed it with his analysis. Alperen's basketball iq is absolutely unreal for a 21 yo Center. Great drive and well executed pass by Jalen. I'm so happy they're growing chemistry together and they'll only get better going forward.

    Yep, that would be you. It's obvious that you are bitter and tearful after - once again, as usual - having been proven wrong by Alpi in the last few games.

    Everyone else is happy, you are sad and bitter, and are hoping for him to play worse in the future.

    Pathetic.

    You are entitled to your opinion.
    I see little other than that.

    This explains so much about your thinking process.

    Thanks.

    I’m not bitter at all, extremely happy with Sengun and the team’s direction.

    Yet, despite that, here we are still whining about mean old man Silas, bullying our poor special boy.

    The insecure snowflake crew, and their crying king.

    The feeling is mutual. You’re textbook narcissist. It’s ok that you’re wrong because in your mind you’re never wrong.

    It's not insecurity, it's cherishing the moment.

    The fact that you were and still are on the wrong side of the Alp debates doesn't mean people who were on the right side all along is not going to cherish the moment and take victory laps.

    If anyone feels insecure on this thread right now, it's you.
