He was amazing....AMAZING tonight. The NBA is a matchup league and tonight they didn't have a guy that could come close to competing with him and he took advantage. That is good smart basketball. DD
Sengun and Green were vibing off of each other all game. The offense was just really humming, and OKC had no answers for Alpi in the post. At some point the coaching staff and front offense have to realize what they have in Sengun and give this kid the minutes he deserves, right? Anybody with an even passing interest in basketball would watch this team and realize how much better they are with him on the floor.
The key to this is also letting him along with Green and Bari, play through their struggles. It’s easy to roll with the hot hand, but they have to take their lumps at times too. Green has that leash, the other two…… to be seen
Jabari actually has it as well. The only one who hasn't had it is Alpi. And if Silas doesn't start trusting Alpi, he should be fired.
could of beaten lebrons record last year already if silas werent busy sabotaging him and playing him only 6 or 12 minutes on almost half of the gamenights can you imagine an idiot coach having a player like alpi available and playing him 6 minutes? LOL
Some people are so frustrated with their lives that they can't even enjoy having Green, Smith, Sengun and Tari on this team. In just two years, Houston has incorporated practically the entire starting team of the future of this franchise. We need time to develop these guys, a PG and a real coach. Be patient.
I don't really follow Silas's post game press talk but a few times I heard him speak about Alpi, he got in something negative. He can't get excited or be happy about it. And talking about 'not being a recipe for sustained success' after a fantastic game when KPJ makes the same mistakes over and over again. Is he like that for all the players?
Have to say I like that KPJ is always complimentary when talking about Alpi - respect for that. Called him "Baby Joker" after the game. Gives me some hope when it comes to KPJ that he would defer appropriately to Alpi, Jalen, Jabari, with the right coach.
No, the only one he always undermines and diminishes is Alpi. Even after a great game. It's like it makes him physically uncomfortable to have to praise Alpi.
Don't b blaming green for not fitting with sengun when they clearly have chemistry. We all know sengun game works with anybody. He just needs da right coach. Kpj can work alongside sengun also just not as the pg.
Yeah, this is just another data point that Silas has to go. Don't bring that passive-aggressive stuff into a press briefing. You praise your guy on a great night. Period. If something needs to be said, you say it tomorrow in the locker room, not in front of the world. Really disappointing performance by Silas there.
KPJ hit Sengun with several nice passes tonight, we don't have a PG....there are no PGs in the league anymore. We are playing two combo guards like Atlanta, Golden State, Boston, pretty much everyone. DD
