    Brother, Ime isn’t the reason he’s 0/4 from the FT line. 0/4. This game was over by the half.

    Silas knows ball. Bench Sengun with someone can defend the paint, and pointed out multiple times in the interviews that other teams like attacking Sengun by playing pick and roll

    You guys throw the word hate around so easily. It’s not that serious and it’s not one guys fault. We’ve seen him play much better on both ends of the court, hell the entire team has never looked this bad. The chemistry is gone and it doesn’t look like they enjoy playing with burner man.

    from the looks of it he is also AWOL from his twitter account . . . no recent Sengun chatter from that sector

    We need a whole bunch of "_______ is NOT the Rockets franchise player" threads just to counterbalance the bad vibes of all those franchise player threads.

    Positivity is not welcome here because it convey curses. We need more negativity to pull all those quasi franchise players out of their funk.

    Every time the team loses, you guys instantly look for a scapegoat. How about checking the three-point percentages? Almost every team facing the Rockets is shooting over 50% from deep. What exactly are our perimeter and wing defenders doing? If they actually played defense, opponents wouldn’t be getting such wide-open looks. But instead, we always pick the guy in the back as the easy target.

    And let’s be real: if you shoot 12% from three, you’re going to get blown out every single game. Yet somehow, the nonsense continues—people keep dumping all the blame on Sengun. I don’t want to believe we’re this irrational as a fanbase, but the ridiculous criticism just won’t stop.

    If your own teammate calls you out on social media, of course things get messy. That’s normal. But can someone share Durant’s comment and the stats leading up to it?

    All those clean looks start with Alpy defending the picks and roll which compromises the whole defense

    Out of 28 missed threes, if half of them had gone in, that’s 14 makes. 14 × 3 = 42 extra points.
    In the NBA, a +42 swing almost always means a guaranteed win. In short, when your three-point percentage is that dramatically low, a blowout is inevitable. But if you’re hitting around 50%, the entire course of the game changes completely.

    The issue isn’t just Sengun: when opponents are shooting over 50% from three, it exposes the weakness of our perimeter and wing defense.
    When the team’s own percentage drops to 12%, the offense completely collapses.
    That’s why instead of dumping all the blame on one player on social media, the real focus should be on defensive rotations and shot selection

    Against quick, fast guards, no center can really look good. It’s impossible.

    Durant >>>>>>>>>>>>>Jalen Green
    24-25 Chemistry>>>>>>25-26 Chemistry

    YES, FVV and Adams would've helped tremendously this year, you know what else would've helped tremendously this year, If Snake Durant would've kept his pie-hole shut!! I understand if a player (Sengun) doesn't continue to grow and becomes stagnate but his play has actually declined from a year ago! This is not the norm for a healthy up and coming young player! IMHO Sengun is playing under mental duress from being stabbed in the back from from a player that he willfully an openly welcomed from day one!!
    [​IMG]

    NOT saying that Durant's opinion of Senguns or Bari's play is unmerited, But what happens in Vegas (Team) stays in Vegas!! His comments clearly affected the positive synergy that this team had last year! Sengun got slapped in the face by a teammate and was told to take the slap by the organization. There was ZERO consequences to SNAKE.

    I wonder if Durant made a comment saying that Udoka should learn to keep it in his pants and Udoka was told to take it and there was no consequences to SNAKE. I mean technically Durant would be expressing his opinion which has merit so it should be okay.... right?? Udoka wouldn't be affected by one of his players stabbing him in back with no consequences to that player.... right??

    LOL, just pretend like the player never stabbed you in the back Udoka... clap, clap,clap.... :confused:

    What happens when you take a player and make them do stuff they arent good at.

    He’s probably doing naughty things to himself once he heard about the school in Iran.
