    Sengun is being miss-used and still an all-star is pretty impressive I have to admit. (yes I saw him clank a clutch FT last night)

    There's definitely an agenda by the haters, acting like Sengun was the reason for the loss when KD has 8 turnovers, the coaching was horrible in the 20-nothing run and Reed not being available, bad reffing, etc, etc. He was a much lesser factor on this loss than they act like it is. Yet the haters gathered like flies to crap to complain about Sengun. It's obvious and hilarious, I just sit back and laugh at them as they constantly expose themselves.

    Nobody compares Sengun to wemby. You wanted to play the stupid stat game, I just gave you one example to point out that. Oh yes, now you can strengthen your belief that sof are delusional by this example because in your delusional world this is what happened here.

    I see that you don’t refer to any of the actual points made. Sengun has the best offensive rating, defensive rating (and as an obvious result best net rating), best +/- in the team. So what is your take on that? Or the fact that typically centers do not lead their teams in fga in clutch time because that is most suited for guards?

    Let's hear the next sarcastic remark and out of context answer.

    that’s a whole bunch of words to say that Sengun is not clutch and unreliable at the free throw line

    Which player will you bring up next? Steph? Luka?

    Now stats are stupid. Lmao. Thought you SOFs loved stats. Or maybe only select ones…

    I think Ime would go with Sengun (vs Amen), at least if he knows himself well. Not because he thinks he is the better player but he needs players that can make stuff happen without coaching. Amen is more of a project, that needs coaching vision and skills, which Ime doesn't have much of.

    Just as expected, zero substance zero answers. You're right though. The last sentence was good enough for you. My mistake thinking that you can actually discuss something.

    So this guy managed to expand 'Sengun is not efficient' to ONLY 3 lines. Come on, break it by distance, location or play type and you can fill out a page with these bad stats.

    What serious discussion can be had with SOFs? The slightest criticism and y’all get to crying followed by a million excuses…it’s the ankle, it’s Eurobasket, it’s his teammates, it’s the coach, it’s the refs…every single time

    now Sengun not being clutch and being unreliable at the free throw line is a hot take because net rating, plus minus, or whatever other bullsh*t…

    never in my life have I seen a player on this team be bad in the clutch including 10-22 from the line, and we’re sitting here talking about his net rating and plus minus…

    imagine Harden or T-Mac or Yao or players before that being so unreliable in clutch time, and people on here like “what about his net rating?”

    give me a break

    You know we have a player that is similar to T-mac or Yao, in salary or superstar status. And his name is not Sengun.

    Then neither is the team as long as he is here that is unless they bring in a competent offensive minded assistant and let him handle all offensive responsibilities. Ime is a fine defensive coach. His near nonexistent offensive coaching abilities are frankly "offensive".

    case in point: deflect, and excuse…a common SOF tactic…matter of fact, the only SOF tactic

    because it’s the end of the world if we hold the “franchise player” accountable like countless before him

    These same idiots shi*talking Alpi are the same clueless numbskulls clamoring to trade him for Giannis while criticizing Alpi for missing FTs in the 4th quarter.

    Giannis will definitely help fix our FT shooting, our floor spacing, and our playmaking in clutch time!! Oh wait...

    What's funny is these same idiots have been hugging Bron's nuts even when he is way past his prime, while simultaneously downplaying Jokic and calling Jokic overrated...

    Please continue to show your true colors... your narratives are all showing way too clearly.

    Lol, you skip the coach and the player making 54 million and pound on the player that makes much less, who somehow has the best ratings in clutch time in the team. And then compare him in terms of accountability with a legendary number one pick, higher paid center, who was 2nd or 3rd option in clutch time (guess what he was a CENTER) even in the era of centers ad then talk about deflection etc.

    Lol also at tracy mc grady accountability comparison. That is the whole point, rockets don't have a guard that can take responsibility in clutch time. Do you think sengun would take these many clutch shots, if we had one? He would take less and be more efficient. OMG, I made another excuse as a SOF. Can't stop doing this.

    still with the excuses…I guess you can’t help it

    Tell me what 10-22 from the free throw line has to do with a PG? I’ll wait

    this dude is still talking about net rating…

    remove that SOF chip from your brain and insert something new

    Subjective but I can't even remotely see it. Personally I don't think Ime likes the way he plays or his character (other than respect for elders).

    That's why I brought up the point about Udoka's incessant search for big men. I think that's speaking volumes. He sees Sengun as a PF imo.

    Hard disagree on this one.

    Ime would pay money from his own pocket if he knew they can land Giannis by giving away Sengun instead of Amen.

    Amen would no doubt survive Ime's axe.

    I don't know if we'll run it back if we face 1st round exit. My take is that Sengun goes in that scenario.

    that is true but you are only considering replacement value in terms of a center or a player that can replace Sengun, what if you can replace Amen pr Sengun for a mvp level guard? But I agree, if the return is Giannis, he would keep Amen.

    Oh you don’t have to wait long. It has nothing to do wth pg. but if you remove the hater chip from your brain you can see that shooting is one aspect of the game and if a player has the best ratings despite ‘disgusting’ shooting, he should be doing other things right.
