    Rules, yes exactly. How you apply them and the atmosphere (assuming Euros are at home) not even close.

    To be fair, put ANY Euro team in NBA right now and they will be a laughing stock as much as Detroit is.

    Put any regular NBA role player in a Euro team and there is no guarantee they dominate.......

    He's been bad defensively but he did awesome defending Duren in the 4th quarter. When he puts an effort he is a really solid defender.

    He’s going to have to figure out the energy to be an offensive focal point and high energy on defense

    Wasn't Mirotic the MVP over there? And Bjelica?

    Any reason why Sengun's assist numbers have been down recently? Maybe it's coincided with his increased scoring.

    Because no one on this team can hit the broad side of a barn from 3.

    He is a little more selfish when he is in the paint lately. Our shooters also can't finish catch and shoot possessions. He created several open 3pt shots for his teammates today and none of them were made.

    Just posted them. It is weird that Bari's defensive rating is the worst among starters and has a -4.8 net rating

    Said simlar in a Jalen Green thread - whilst the Rockets have Jalen thinking he's first on that list - they're never going to get significantly better.

    If the franchise gives him another contract it is going to be a disaster.

    LMAO. No, he hasn't been bad defensively. He's been nothing close to bad defensively.

    Also notice how the Pistons went to feast right at the ring repeatedly the second Sengun sat in the third. That's also not the first time an opposition has done this in Sengun's bench minutes.

    Duren got his easiest buckets in that little stretch.

    ZERO off ball movement for easy buckets... have said repeatedly. The team is doing him an absolute disservice. No coincidence the main guy who moved off ball left, and the 10minute youtube worth of highlight passes from Sengun now cannot be replicated.

    Next to zero outside shooters. How many times does he get a guy open and find them in their spot just for them to brick it.
