    We can elect to look at this negatively or we can bring our positive energy and see that the other three players named have rings. There is a chance for Houston after all.

    Sengun is not a modern nba player. He’s a high usage, low inefficient player that can’t shoot 3s or play defense.

    there are GM’s in this league who will fall for that Sengun playoff tweet, and it will be up to Stone to find them this offseason

    Alperen Sengun is + 32 in his 9 playoff games and Jabari Smith Jr is -27.

    This isn't me suggesting we need to only build around Sengun or rely so heavily on isolation scoring, but I think we are missing the forest through the trees with him ....

    For 2025 per Gemini, Sengun is at 68% of unassisted points scored which is 5th in the total NBA!!!!! SGA is first at 79% Durant is 7th at 64%, and Amen is at 48%.

    What is Unassisted point percentage? It measures the percentage of a player’s made field goals that are not assisted by a teammate

    Sengun is leading the Rockets in assists while being the 5th in unassisted points percentage. That's pretty crazy. I will admit I was wrong about Ime, I thought he was merely a mediocre coach, but it's downright criminal how bad our overall offense has been.

    edit: grammar

    That's a bit crazy.... Other FO's have eyes and see the position Sengun is constantly put in. They see our coaching staff.

    He doesn't fit the current make-up of the team. Something's gotta give.

    Exactly. I feel like changes need to be done one way or another. I would like to see Sengun in something that resembled a system with any sort of good offensive coaching. Probably not gonna happen with Ime's contract so someone is gonna have to go. Honestly, whatever makes the Rockets better I'm good with, but I believe that this point is going nowhere with Ime as a coach, no matter the roster.

    Wish we had traded for Harden, he is one of the few players that is an offensive system in and of itself. Only one I can think that would hide Udicker's ineptitude, yet Ime wanted nothing to do with him twice.

    Hehe, gotta love all the grace that the Sengun and Reed haters give to Ime, Durant, and Amen. Ime can’t coach offense…no mention that he’s also ass coaching defense. Durant has a boo boo on his knee while b*tch ass Sengun keep making excuses about his back. Poor all defensive 1st team Amen is tired for having to carry such a heavy load, that’s why he can’t shoot or defend. Oh and one of my favorites, bunch of traffic cones on this team but let’s bring back Harden. Blowhards are gonna blowhard.

    We can only hope Sengun doesn't play again like the last guy selected for a YMCA pickup game.

    Don't know what the hell. His play this series has been......lead-footed? Not that he's very fleet of foot, but this series has been painful.

    Did Sengun already book those tickets to Mexico? Gotta get there before the rainy season starts?

    We won't win the series barring an angel visiting our locker room to bless the team, starting tomorrow; but please, players, let's not pretend we're sick of each other and don't care what happens...........um, well, too late, I guess.

    gawddamn, Sengun is getting flamed

    You can embarrass and expose yourself against the Hawks or Magic or Suns and no one will care or even notice, but against the Lakers? Good luck

    Sengun is the Byron Noem on the NBA right now
