    It looks like like he can become a .80 shooter from FT line he has a soft touch but for some reason his isn't one yet. When he was licking the ball he was shooting better. Maybe he needs to be even weirder to get to 0.80.

    New logo has a nod to the Turkish flag. Mic drop. (Look at the ball)

    I don’t care about the labels for our players. We have at least 4 young guys with the potential to be all-stars. Sengun really has to stay healthy, because he is the engine on which our offense relies. I suspect they sit him the next two games and take advantage of the 4 days of rest before the road trip. He is just way too important to take chances with this early in the year, if we have serious play-off hope.

    Wild card is that this is the start of the in-season thingamajig. Alpi may push Ime to let him play. Still on his rookie contract so that half a million probably sounds pretty good to him.

    Nice catch, though I don't know if that was the intent.

    and if you play the new Beatles record backward, you can clearly hear John say "Sengun is the franchise player"

    is there some sort of hotline or rss feed one can subscribe to in order to get the latest Alpi updates? I feel so left out of the conversation :(

    No, but I'm going to start a fundraiser for those who got their asses burned with Alpi's on-court production over the years. I'll make sure you get your share.

    Alpi is already much better than his detractors here ever thought he would be.

    And the sad part is, it seems to annoy them.

    As Rockets fans, they should be delighted.

    Alpy is on the media radar now and everyone keeps comparing him to Joker and Sabonis. But in reality I think both comparisons are wrong. What he really is is Jumbo Ginobili.

    He has an onlyfans account for those and he measures his height naked everday.

    and none of them seem to realize the guy is this good and has only been able to buy beer for a few months now. Nobody knows what his ceiling will be in 3-5 years. He is the closest player to Jokic already right now albeit there is a big gap. How much of that gap will he bridge in the next few years?

    National media is jumping on board, prepare for liftoff.
