    Agreed.

    It's why everyone and their dog would take Stromile Swift over Tim Duncan, if given the option of either player in their prime as the PF of their team.

    We don't HAVE to run plays for AS...

    It's as simple as 'FT extended, if he dribbles, weak side guard cuts. In the post, weak side wing cuts.'

    And just let him catch it when he catches it.

    Like, how hard is it to design an offense around cutting when there's no rim defense?

    Read the full context SOF, I was referring to how top level contending teams are built around filling their roster with guys who have limited weaknesses because your rotation is only as strong as your weakest link.

    I mean come on- I wasn’t even talking about Sengun but that’s how sensitive fans like you are. If it sounds insane, maybe you should try some reading comprehension skills…

    Weren't even talking about Sengun... riiiight.

    Quite a pitiful attempt at deflecting.

    Almost as pathetic as when a poster said 'I think this is what you're trying to say' to one of your previous rambling posts.

    To which you said it was - even though it contained no context that said anything of the sort.

    I'd never even heard of you until these few threads - but when someone is so idiotic as this it sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Absolutely NOBODY compared Sengun to Shaq or Zion. They were used in an example to disprove a dumb take and the proud of owner that dumb take can't just accept that fact and trying to make it sound like we compared Sengun to those players. We didn't.

    Either he's hilariously dumb to understand the point of the discussion or he's not mature enough to accept the fact that he's proven wrong. Either case, it's worrisome.

    He had the worst defensive game of the season and wasn't great on offensive end either. He needs to figure out his positioning on PNR defense, needs to be more patient around the rim like he was before and most importantly he needs to stop b****ing to the referees and play his own game.

    I do not care about the fouls, let him foul out but he needs more than 17 minutes as a starter. Fernando is a waste and Garuba has no offense….Silas is bad

    The guy needs to play 30 minutes a game like the other starters. Silas is suppose to give these young guys minutes this year. We need 30 minutes a game so he can work on his game like Jalen did last year. Silas is a bad coach

    Let the kid foul out. What’s the difference?

    That being said, 5 fouls in 17 min is pretty awful.

    Everything Silas does with sengun is shouting out loud 'I have a problem with you'. It is a 20 year old kid with lots of promise. What problem could you possibly have? It doesn't make any sense but it is what it is.

    Silas is by far the worst coach in the NBA but his decision was right tonight.

    1- You don't want to keep a player with 5 fouls that early in the game because most probably he'll avoid the contact and will lower the energy of the team on defensive side to not get his 6th.
    2- You'd like to be able to play your best center if you have a close game down the stretch which clearly wasn't the case tonight.
