    A Chinese story to Silas:
    ————————————
    One day, Ji Liang went to see the King of Wei and reported:

    "When I was coming here, I saw a man on the road driving a horse carage north in great haste."

    "I asked him: ‘Where are you going in such haste?’"

    "He replied: ‘I am going to the State of Chu.'

    "I said: ‘If you want to go to the State of Chu, you should go south. Why are you going north? You are going the wrong way!’

    "He said: ‘My horse is big and strong. It can run as fast as flying. It doesn't matter to run a little more.'

    "I told him: ‘Though your horse is good, you are going in the wrong direction.'

    "He said: ‘It doesn't matter. I have lots of money.'

    "I told him again: ‘Though you have lots of money, this is not the road to the State of Chu.'

    "He said: ‘It doesn't matter. My driver is good and strong.'

    "Finally I told him: ‘Though your driver is good and strong, this is not the road to the State of Chu."

    The King of Wei blurted out: "Alas, this man is too obstinate. He doesn't realize that if his direction is wrong, the better he is equipped, the farther he would be away from his destination."

    Sengun played most of his minutes in the first half, when the entire team dug themselves in a hole.
    The other players' +/- stats were a** too, but I believe they brought it back up in the second half, while Sengun sat out for most of that time.

    Anyway, I thought Sengun played a pretty solid and gritty game. He and the entire team battled and hustled and got their best win of the season.

    Below are Sengun's highlights from the game. The big guy put in some work, and he even made some great defensive plays.
    He may not have played a lot of minutes in the second half, but his contributions down the stretch was pivotal. For example, he stopped and blocked a crucial drive by Booker.

    If we are tanking every season until we draft another Lebron James who doesn’t need any coaching or development , Silas will make success.

    Rewatching this game, score is 17-4. Sengun has both scores from the low block. On defense, he's responsible for 5 of the 17. It's not the player or the players in general, this team lacks a system. Plays that work our coaches stop calling. Off ball movement? Severely lacking. Defensive accountability? inconsistent. Defensive. adjustments? zero.

    stop using euro stage show character pics/quotes, it won't make Sengun minutes per game increase

    Hakeem(not-the)Dream94 Petition for Sengun to get more minutes:

    Tilman/Stone and Silas miss the event due to personal reasons

    President of Sengun fan club sues for 'defamation and minutes restriction'

    case dismissed due to the President of the fan club being incompetent ie. contempt of court

    My post wasn't directed to you.
    I was making a joke.
    A SOF is a specific player-only fan, a person who only cares for the good and success of his favorite player, i.e. Alperen Sengun.
    Those who claim not to be a player-only fan, Sengun in this case, naturally say they root for the team; Rockets fans.
    (To be a S,L&TBOF e.g. (Sengun, Lucas and the Towel Boy Only Fan) would be extreme discrimination, even an abomination, so we accept their claim.)
    I tried to put a little twist on the Sengun-Only Fan thing by playing on various people, subjects, phenomena etc of which one can be a fan.
    As I said, it was a joke.

    Not at all, you took my reply out of context

    There isn't nothing on these stage shows of entertainment that bother me, just the troll farm agents and presidents of their fan clubs seem to be the only ones bugged out, but if the shoe fits you know how to wear it quite well

    And this latest reply still won't get Sengun the Wilt / Oscar / AI minutes that you are so hard picketing for, but hopefully it pays off because I mentioned that Sengun is part of the core going forward rather they play him 17 minutes or 47, which the former seems to have you super bugged out for some very odd reason, sincerely

    Sengun is feeling the same way about you taking the air out of his possible 40 mpg plan

    He is planning to hold a board meeting and removing you from your over fanatical position as president, sincerely
