    Literally not fact. Nothing supports that. In fact, you’re flat out lying.
    But it’s you, so go figure

    Ime subbed out Sengun because he couldn't stop Kessler. I have a theather room, I see the game clearly. May you should invest in a better TV, so you can see the game better.

    Stop lying for one. Kessler at no point worked Alp over.
    And no one cares about a little 50 inch tv in your spare room you call a theater room.

    Yeah I'd rather be bias than delusional. Just like tonight, teams find him on defense & isolate when they need a bucket. Why? Because his team is atrocious. He's never going to be a plus defender

    Yeah, I was proud of his performance as well. Watching his physical development since high school....I don't think those leg bones are fully where they are going to be in the end. To this point, I believe he has only missed a couple 3 games but I could be wrong.

    What does that gave to do with anything? Kessler played 32 minutes, 9 less than Alpi. Extrapolated they had similar number ms of rebounds.

    I’ve actually said before he needs to improve his rebounding. I suspect it will with time. No it he wouldn’t be the first or last good center to average under 10 rpg.. it’s extremely difficult to have that kind of offensive usage and play constant defense as well as rebounding. Personally I think if he develops an outside shot one of its many benefits will be to lessen his energy usage.

    We know you and HLM are biased aka bigoted.
    The league doesn’t agree with you, the head coach doesn’t agree with you and fans don’t agree with you.

    You are getting way too Galaxy brain with this. In no way, shape, or form was the Kings “not having to really pay Bagley” because he turned out to be not very good a good thing for their franchise.

    The thing with Steph was a fair gamble between team and player to acknowledge he was a very promising player with very real injury issues. When a top pick is lousy he just moves on and tries to get another shot with another team on a cheap deal and they rarely become top level players.

    Why is it 'your boy'?

    Alperen Sengun is OUR boy, he's a Houston Rocket and playing great.

    I understand that maybe his game isn't your favorite, and you're 100% entitled to your opinion, but if he does well against Boston it's a win for all of us.

    I don't really get the unnecessary division in our fanbase just because we have different favorite players

    It was a great learning night for Kessler. The boy did well for Jazz and likely will figure something out from this night. Alp is not teaching Turkish only.

    If Jalen and the rockets can get on the same page with role, salary and more importantly he understands that he really needs to work hard, we should definitely sign him. But I suspect that Jalen is aware that #2 pick days are too far away and if he doesn't have a mentality change, even a modest contract will be too expensive, just like the kpj contract.

    You keep repeating a narrative without offering proof. You change the verbiage with things like “targeting” one time and “isolating” another, like you’re saying something new. Give an example of something you repeatedly see where they run a particular play while he’s in and don’t while he’s out. Or give an example of the player they repeatedly passed to when Sengun was on him but didn’t when guarded by someone else. And if you say Embid, you will sound pretty silly.

    Because I see Houston’s guards getting beaten off the dribble repeatedly whether he’s in or out …and I’m not even talking off the pick and roll. He’s constantly having to help/show then get back to his guy. Of course there’s room for improvement but you pretty much render yourself someone whose opinion is worthless by using hyperbole like “atrocious”.

    His rookie deal is around $10M and extension should be around 15-16 (I have to check).

    So, 20 is not very far away from what he gets. Alp and Tari are paid around 3-4M, huge leaps for them but not for JGreen/Bari/Amen. Trio is already paid well in accordance with their age/experience.
