    Yes I watch every game. Silas has Sengun playing drop coverage, there’s no going at him by guards, and he holds his ground well against bigs. Jalen gets abused in every one on one possession, Fox took it at him at will tonight and that’s a point guard, even easier for SG and wings.

    It’s not just true - it’s already happening. Most significantly, it happens when teams attack us in transition because Green never gets back on defense.

    You also see it in the way other teams’ perimeter shooters have had historic shooting nights against us and it’s not because of switches onto Sengun.

    So I’d hold off on calling anyone’s take bad when you’ve thrown out the worst yet in this thread.

    Sengun consistently has the best +/- on the team, the team falls apart when he is not on the court. No one targets Sengun, the Rockets target themselves without Sengun. Have you literally not been following this team?

    Exactly. You and @CXbby are 100 % correct.

    Oh that right - you can’t say anything negative about Sengun - my bad. I remember why I stopped visiting this place now.

    You can say things that are negative, just try not to make things up.

    I remember now, this was the guy who said he "coaches executives on strategy development and systems thinking" or something like that to try and give himself more credibility regarding his negative bias against Sengun. lol

    So you want us to model things based on a team whose peak is the 8th most successful team for 50 regular season games. Got it.

    show me the thread where you predicted in 2012 steph klay and dray is headed for the best team of all times....

    show me the thread where you at least said they are a good core to build around LOL

    if not then you gotta admit alpi is a franchise player and you are just a slave to your misguided rigid beliefs and prejudices of what constitutes good basketball or bb talent

    No I want us to model things after the 72 win Bulls, but guess what, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen aren’t walking through that door. You play the cards you are dealt.

    lol

    btw what happened with the art of coaching, grooming players and improvement?

    we have stumbled into a once in a generation player and hes is not a defensive monster(yet), but you coach him and you train him...


    if you cant make a 20 year old phenom, a euro mvp at the age of 18, into a very positive defensive player in 5 years then you are not a basketball club but a clown show....

    Are you the guy who called himself an executive and unironically tried to offer advice he clearly wasn’t taking himself? The arrogance is real.

    I am that guy that doesn't hire you (or any of the 10 other self-appointed "coaches" who reach out to me every day on LinkedIn).
