    geniuses look like fools all the time...thanks for the compliment.. and its only natural because the masses are alway clueless...

    you are disqualified from a quality discussion if you think playing time doesnt matter, confidence that is built upon that dont matter , coaching doesnt matter...rewarding good play dont matter

    you are also disqualified if you think you can enjoy watching film if youre interrupted every 5 minutes IT CANT BE DONE

    you aint gonna be a great film watcher if youre constantly being interrupted... in fact you gonna start to hate that film and watching it...you gonna give up on watching it...

    btw i also believe alpi hit that wall hard,
    and there is 5 lettered word all over that wall SILAS

    how come you are professional basketball team and cant condition player properly for half a year?

    you want me to beleive alpi has cancer leukiemia or something?

    he hit aint no wall because to hit the wall you need be moving and alpi didnt even started to get going... hes not been playing real basketball this year at all and for 6 months straight now... because 12 minutes per night is not basketball games....its the crumbs fallen of basketball table

    good luck tanking for a decade cause you can draft next lebron and he wont develop into lebron by playing 12 minutes a night

    I'd give it a B+. Caught me by total surprise, so that is reflected in the grade. He may be hurting and slow, but his upper body fake game is still strong -- he is so fast with it when he wants to be.

    Paging Mr. Scola! Please pick up the nearest batphone for an important message!

    Needs to strengthen those finishes, those 4 foot blind hooks are iffy even with his good inside touch... A little soft, no?

    Obviously Dream would be awesome for him too, just seems like he could get pretty creative with some Luis moves, as flexible as he is... Closer comparison athletically.

    After four games working his way back after missing seven with a sprained right ankle, Rockets center Alperen Sengun said the ankle is 100 percent but that he is still trying to get back to where he was before the injury.

    In four games since against the Kings, Jazz and Warriors, he made 10 of 23 shots, averaging 6.8 points, three rebounds and 1.3 assists. In 34 games prior to his injury on New Year’s Eve against the Heat, he had averaged 9.1 points on 49.8 percent shooting along with 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

    “I believe that injury affected me,” Sengun said. “I was on that pace before I was injured but I think I will catch up. After the injury, I was a little a nervous because it happened in the game. I’m feeling like I’m trying to not be injured again about my ankle.

    “I’m trying to adjust my body to the game tempo. I’m doing way, way better.”

    The rigors of playing in the NBA is really, really rough so I am not surprised Alpi feels that way. He will get back to where he was and more though given both how young and hard working he is.

    That’s how young talented players are. When they play well it’s all instinct, and then something happens and they get thrown off. With time he’ll learn how to turn ON his game at his will.

    Ignite must have been severely promoted by the league.

    I think once Sengun inevitably puts up a good string of games, it's time for him to replace Wood in the starting line up. We can really use a second playmaker in the starting line up who is unselfish with the ball. We don't have great iso players, we need to move the ball more than any other team in the league really. Adding a high post passer opens up a bunch of new angles for easy baskets especially for shooters and cutters and doesn't get in the way of teammates' drives to the basket.

    Also helps KPJ not worry about having to be the only one responsible for setting up the scorers, shifts some of the responsibility.

    Al-P and Wood can't coexist, so you trade Wood.
