    I think it's hilarious how triggered you guys get by a guy NOT tweeting something. Clutch is pretty troll.

    I don't know what this "Nope" thing is a reference to, but I'm sure it's about Sengun being a spectacular player!

    It's just a few of the posters, but they seem to try hard to make this a thing, for whatever reason. Seems kind of petty, but maybe, as the Brits say, they're just taking the piss.

    Oh, and an awesome game by Sengun, by the way.

    Sengun played well, but l Want him to become borderline superstar and he has his weaknesses that he should develop. Good thing is he is so coachable, probably the most coachable not only in Rockets but in whole NBA for 21 years old young player.
    His ceiling is so high that, in my opinion he is one of the best three players with Wemby and Chet in the last 4-5 years drafts.
    But for perfection, he needs 2 or years and having a superstar below 25 years old is the dream of every NBA team and Rockets is not faraway from this.
    Rockets need to find pieces around him,Jabari and Eason in the long term.
    Optimistic about our rooks also.
    20-21 is not bad for a team coached under a clown for three years.

    Scout him as much as you want, noone is stopping a confident Şengün.

    I don’t think we were the ones dropping him (a Houston drafted 20-year-old) in every damn trade machine on the front page of Clutchfans for an entire year. Constant shots from up top about the “young crowd” adding Alperen Sengun to their “untouchable core” like they were crazy. Mentions about his character from an inside source, etc…

    Damn people crying for Mo Bamba and Bruno Fernando and others. “Career 6th man isn’t an insult!” GTFO :D… Even wilder stuff was said on Twitter, and now they are all playing the victim card. “Where is basketball discourse??? Wahhhh”

    Alperen is inevitable. Always was. How many current/former all-stars and coaches do we need to hear that from? This man is on the top of the scouting report every single game, while JG and Jabari shoot the wide open jump-shots that Alperen creates.

    The silence is deafening. :p:cool:

    Being on the wrong side of Alperen is like being Charles Barkley when he was talking crazy about rookie Yao Ming. Kiss the ass baby…

    But would you not trade him for AJ Griffin?

    Agree 100%

    Below are PREGAME comments from Jazz commentators (Jazz feed on NBA League Pass):

    Thurl Bailey: You love to have bigs with their back to the basket. Jazz gonna be have to be creative defensively with him. He’s got great hands, great footwork. He could be a problem.

    Holly Rowe: Yeah, the Utah Jazz today in shootaround spend a lot of time with how they will deal with Sengun and… listen, they know his moves, they know he likes to work with his back against the basket. They worked on that: when they will gather, when they attack and when they might double him in the post.

    We did a much better job of moving the ball today so Alperen’s touches were a bit more unpredictable.
