    Who gives a sh$t? Don't respond to that poster's hot take then. It's the freaking internet fan community. Grow up.

    Most people here would just be in for a conversation about both players in a normal fan debate. Not this cult like 12 year old fanboy cry baby pissy fit garbage.

    I can agree with that.
    At the same time you’re sitting here crying about those posters and putting it on Alp.

    The reading comprehension is terrible. Pretty sure @fchowd0311 is a fan of Sengun and wants him to be the best he can be for the Rockets.

    Levels. Green has far more excuses made for him than anyone on the team. I get it, I make excuse for him too. But he is a far worse defender than Alp

    For those who need to hear it.... Alperen Sengun is my favorite player on this team currently, and best player to run our plays through as the primary playmaker.

    I see the problems with the Jokic style but the argument that it hasn't been a successful one to get to the finals is way overblown to come to the point 'it is not a winning style'.

    How many seasons did jokic have a cast that is strong enough to make the finals, regardless of style? Typically it takes a few consecutive years to build that playoff culture. The sample is too small and more importantly there is only one team that is trying that, so it is anyway mathematically much greater probability that the other method will win. And this is in the era of GSW and Lebron and generally a strong league.

    The same is true for the Harden, Luka style. I am not a big fan of it but still it has been tried way too little to show that it technically has less chance of winning.

    Just to clarify, I am not supporting the heliocentric team constructions.

    I didn’t say he wasn’t a fan. I said he’s hated on him because of his “only fans” which is absolutely true.
    He spent a ton of the game thread passive aggressively hating on Alp fans to prop up Green.
    But you can white knight for him all you want

    Call it crying if you want to. I call it telling children to grow up, and stop ruining the family vacation crying about not getting the right toy in your happy meal.

    We are going to be in this car ALOT longer.

    No he doesn't. His excuses are he's young. Sengun's excuse is always another player's fault.

    And why wouldn't you say "Alpi" instead of "Alpi fans"?

    Again, pot meet kettle.
    You’re crying and wishing for Lin fans to return because a handful of posters are too much of a player fan. Make it make sense

    Well, you found the wrong poster to white knight for if that’s your ideological base for white knighting

    I mean that obviously an expression of sarcasm to show his level of frustration for people who aggressively defend Sengun at the expense of other guys.

    White Knight?

    Man it's like you can't comprehend two people agreeing on something.

    I do?

    Can you refer to my "hate" of Alpi himself?

    You were literally aggressively defending Green last night at the expense of Alp.
    Don’t be a hypocrite
