Objective criticism Just amazing “ just another Euro” lol this is why Doncic was picked as a 3rd pick under Ayton.
Folks like u are too stubborn and narrow minded in thinking that a player has to b the ideal type to be a good player. Brick hands? what are u even basing this on. can't catch lobs? look who the fk is passing the ball. While i don't believe posters are racist towards sengun, there's certainly a lot of US elitism when it comes to judging european players. A 20 year old doing what Sengun is doing, is nothing special. pffft. Sometimes i wonder if folks are watching the same game when they bash sengun and usman. Sengun isn't athletic, but he is intelligent while also using the fundamentals to box folks out. Currently averaging 9.8 rebounds this season, man has to b doing something right. Folks have to realize that there's no one way to achieving greatness.
I've been around long enough to have seen this argument before. It's not new and definitely not original. And I'll be here long after Alperen's tenure (hopefully a long one) with the Rockets is over and you've stopped watching. Because I'm a ROCKETS fan, not a player fan. I don't care which player is best because I want the team to succeed. Alpi could be dropping triple doubles left and right, but if the TEAM is crap then I'm not happy. I think that it's extremely obnoxious to come to a BBS dedicated to the ROCKETS (the team) and trash the other players, the coaches, hell some have even called the NBA players racists. All because of some perceived slight or disrespect to the player you cherish. Criticism based on wanting the team to be better is one thing, but criticism based on the treatment of one player is crap. And with that I've added another to my ignore list and I'm done with this argument. Why... "Never argue with stupid people, they will only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience".
You can't just get it, sorry. I - also most of people around- want Rockets to be successful. The prerequisites are good coaching, better talent usage, upgrading 7 first round picks of the last 2 drafts. KPJ is a good player but building around him will make the team Sacramentoesque. When Sengun was demoted I predicted bad performances from Jabari&JGreen and upgrade from KMJ and Tari. You can check. Except Tari, it is happening. I care Rockets, I care Jabari, JGreen and I want Sengun to play as much as them. He has the lowest playing time within starters last night. Again! Wemby is a 14% chance, if not Houston will draft a PG rather than a big-your prediction- It means bye-bye to KPJ show. If KPJ co-operated with Alpi the team would be at least play-in team, going to draft Tari-Kessler type of player, secure spot for KPJ. How he made that cardinal mistake is jaw dropping. The bonds between JGreen and Jabari&Alpi are broken. If they mend Tari, KMJ, Josh will likely join them and KPJ suddenly will become odd-man out. Interesting times.
Really? Sengun is good at receiving the ball as a roller in the PNR? He doesnt fumble it away more often than not? His athleticism is good now? This team was looking better with Bruno Fernando in there! I dont care about advanced stats - its stupid to base an entire opinion and argument around them and even more comical to use a sub 10 game sample size to try and prove a point - all "stats guys" know this. He sucks at making jump shots. Mr "Always" is more like a "no no no YES" shooter. His defense sucks his lack of lateral quickness relegates him to guarding the paint when nobody even operates there anymore. Come playoff time he will be a huge liability on defense for whoever he's playing for. Call it hate all you want, but the more that these player only fans keep making excuses for Sengun and blaming everyone under the sun for his failures and weaknesses the more this "Get him the fk out of here" vibe will grow. You guys act like he's the best thing since sliced bread and he isnt. I've seen his like before. Dmo, Omer Asik, Spanoulis .. each one of them touted as the next big Euro splash. You and your contrymen should try some humility in delivering the message instead of throwing everyone under the bus in lieu of your superboy and it might be worth the discussion.
that’s how I react when I’m wrong and yes I know you got nothing to say, but hey at least I don’t hate a 20 years old, who plays the game for the team. Pathetic losers like you will demand tanking forever.
Ignorant reverse racism posers like you who pretend to know the sport when they are only here to suck off their countryman is no real revelation for those of us who have been here long enough to recognize the trope. Creating strawmen everytime their world view gets questioned or their superboy gets held to task. Who's demanding tanking you putz? Maybe some of us can actually recognize the sub surface levels and context necessary to deal with a bad season without running around making excuses.
this is tank warfare my friend yeah, leaving Sengun in at the end of last night’s game would’ve helped…might’ve even secured the win…but Silas job is to lose and secure L’s Doesn’t everyone always say “the players don’t tank, the coaches and front offices do?” Doesn’t a large portion of this board want to three-peat as L champions for Wemby?
Do you really believe he took sengun out because he wanted to lose? I am certain, he did it to win, thinking Sengun will be a liability, the level of thinking of kpj stans on this board.
PFFFFFFT. who the fk was touting Omer Asik as the next big thing. U seem to like to group all the euros together. Sengun may not b your ideal big man, but like i said your american elitism blinds you from seeing how good of a player he is at this young age. I'm from Houston, but unlike u I can clearly see the positives in Sengun game even if he's a euro player.
even if he did it thinking it would result in a win, the L was secured which is what I’ve been told is all that matters as we tank on for Wemby…back at it again on Wednesday vs the Clippers to secure another tank victory
“Ignorant reverse racism poser” glad you know well about yourself. You suck off KPJs’ balls every single day for what reason? I speak out for the truth and you are a denier. Only someone blind and ignorant would call Sengun as a “ordinary euro player” when his efficiency is higher above others. I’m not from Europe or Turkey… keep spreading disinfo.
Respect should be tributed to Euros.... Luka and Giannis are in the Top 5 and Wemby is also a Euro of African descent.
Yeah Im a Euro racist! I had fun with the White Boy Super Squads of old because they actually played good ball! You can check the search logs. I've been in this kids corner offering a very level headed observation and touted his strengths many, many times, but this new "Sengun is infallible" vibe I cant support and its going to push my petty levels up a notch.
