    Lol.

    Turkish language sounds like he’s speaking English backwards.

    Yes, you can have it both ways

    You can shoot threes within the offense and flow of the game. That was NOT in the flow of the game. He lazily dribbled, nobody else did anything, so he took a 3. You don’t develop your three point shot 78 games into a season. Ime wasn’t pissed he “took a 3,” he’s pissed he took a bad 3 in an unnecessary situation.
    Alpi isn’t a b****. He can handle Ime’s tough coaching and he’s said as much that he likes it because it challenges him and reminds him to always be improving.

    People have been downplaying Sengun since he was a rookie. The main reason he even got drafted 18th is because people said he is too short and too slow for the NBA.

    But now he is a 2x allstar and keeping his production in line with a same age Jokic. He hasnt even had his "fat Luka" glow up yet. I think he can still be a top 15 player at the very least.

    I would package him and Thompson for Giannis in a heartbeat

    Not a chance Leeb, Giannis is 32 years old, is breaking down more and more - he is one more calf injury away from a blown Achilles....hard pass.

    That's not his shot. It's called shot recognition. There is a reason in that sequence he was left open. Now if he was shooting 35-36% ,ok. A good shot for KD might be a terrible shot for Alpi

    He's 31 and has 4 really good yrs left. He can play center, which is what he is in this day and age. Without someone of that ilk, Rockets are just a playoff team, nothing more. Sengun, Thompson and some assortment of picks. KD,Smith,Giannis, and Sheppard is a ring quality team. If they dont win it in the next 3 yrs, it's over anyway.

    That's not true. If you're shooting 30%, that's a bad shot especially when the tide is changing.

    I will bet you any amount of money that Giannis does not have 4 good years left.

    Giannis is done. Trading for him would be absolutely dumb. We’d be giving top picks to Milwaukee for years. He can’t stay on the court and the fact that they couldn’t even win in the east is very telling. His defense is vastly overrated.

    Milwaukee had a losing record when he played this year. He’s not some all world talent anymore and he’s only gonna decline more and more each year cuz outside of his athleticism he really has no skill

    Yes. But when GS came back they did so targeting Sengun on defense. This is the biggest reason we blow 4th quarter leads

    Giannis has missed so many games the past couple of years he is "Dwight on Lakers" now.

    Giannis has lemon written all over him you are lucky if he plays 60 games and his injuries also happen near the end of the season lol.

    I didn’t realize Alpi also asked for a dumbass to be the head coach. You’d think he learned his lesson after Silas.

    Really? Great!

    Since we're at it, I've also got a Maserati that's barely 13 years old with a few thousand miles over 100k. Been having a few issues lately, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Great deal on it, I'll trade it for a Mercedes and Cadillac that have both have between 10K to 20K miles on it, plus some cash, and a couple of new cars extra down the line. No biggie, let me assure you, that Maserati is 10x what you'll be giving me in return, it's even won a racing championship at one point! Shiny!

    Lol what? We blow fourth quarter leads all year and it had nothing to do with our defense. We can’t score and KD turns it over to start fast breaks. Repeat…
