    Look at the tweets by Hardwood Paroxysm I just posted.

    "Analytically", the evidence is undeniable.

    Nothing I typed you just replied to has anything to do with the tweets you just recently posted.

    Being wrong is one thing but leaving the "Why Bruno should start article at he top of the main Clutchfans page for the ENTIRE season is quite another.

    I have a hard time finding the FIBA schedule for this tournament. Is there anyone kind enough to share the correct link?

    I think that wasn't "targeted". Just more focus on other modalities (RocketsWatch), and on life, so there weren't any updates? We don't have any right to demand updates, or anything, we are guests here. I'm grateful for this forum, even if Clutch likes other players more :).

    Maybe that was his way of admitting he was wrong given how stupid it was. Leaving it up all season was his way of shaming himself for writing it to begin with. o_O

    Unlikely, considering this is currently the top article (and has been for 4 months):

    https://www.clutchfans.net/12685/2023-houston-rockets-offseason/

    3. Alperen Şengün Will Be Shopped

    You either believe Alperen Sengun is the next Nikola Jokic or he’s a defensive liability that is too much trouble to build around. There doesn’t seem to be much in between.

    Sengun is incredibly gifted offensively and is only 20 years old, so it’s very early. This is also the biggest offseason of his young career, where he won’t be preparing for EuroBasket and can specifically train for the NBA.

    There is no evidence at all they are looking to trade him. I’m very much going rogue with this prediction. But consider:

    1. Internally he has been viewed as possibly the worst pick-and-roll defensive big in the league.
    2. They started Bruno Fernando over him to open the season.
    3. They rarely run the offense through him (“ŞenHub”).
    4. The Rockets are not well-positioned with future draft picks to trade and likely need to move a good young player if they’re looking at any significant deals.
    5. They believe bringing in a center is a high priority (though that could be as a backup to Sengun).

    To be clear, I’m not predicting Sengun will be dumped but rather we will hear his name floated in rumors. A lot could change — a new coach could see Alpi as key to the future, for example — but right now, given all the factors listed above, I would be surprised if Sengun is the centerpiece of this rebuild. I think he’s more likely the trade piece.



    Confidence Level: 60%

    WOW!!!!!! TBH, I have not looked lately. I completely forgot about that. He is truly is an Alpi hater. Does he secretly post as maj or champ (lol) ;)? Anyway, it is his prerogative to be wrong.

    "every" "one" as in each person is different and they are their own person. Sengun isnt Joker he's Sengun just like Embiid isn't Hakeem and Kobe was never Michael. Youre not someone else just because you happen to dribble a basketball too. He may make a move like Joker sure but it'll look more athletic because he's Sengun not Joker. Ive seen him do a dream shake but he didnt do it the way Hakeem did it, it was still a dreamshake though. You know what that means? Its means he did it the way Sengun does it because he's Sengun and not Hakeem.

    The front page has 4 articles in backward chronological order. When Clutch has done more articles in the future, that one will be pushed out. If Clutch simply removed an article because the majority of the members don't agree with it, you'd think he's a spineless coward.
