    Gatlin is a Media member like XYZ but younger.

    Too vocal for my taste on Twitter.

    The season is almost over, could have saved it for the offseason instead of riling up Sengün fans.

    Sengun doesn't need to do shıt while the rest of the team goes 1/17 from the 3.
    He scores, rebounds, distributes, sets screens, and now he will be the 3-pt threat? Feck it, why are the others getting paid??

    Alperen has to shoot more. Non shooters should be dumped.

    what he is asked to do on offense already is The Big Fundamental type of stuff. Already large responsibilities. Some of you smh

    Who, besides Sengun, on the roster reliably can draw a double team? If you have a name, then consider how reliably they could pass out of a double team.

    Sengun might not ever be the "best player on a championship team" but he is clearly the best thing we have at the moment.

    If we want to consider upside, Amen looks promising but he, also, may never be the best player on a champion.

    unless the rockets get some godfather offer, they should keep Sengun, Amen, Jabari, Tari and Cam for now. Go hunting with the picks plus Jalen plus filler this summer.

    Sengunatics are the NBA equivalent of Swifties and are also the primary reason others often don't like him. You feed off your own narratives and the echos are so loud they broke the chamber.

    You are far and away the most toxic and insecure part of the Rockets' fan base.

    Good comparison since Alperen will be at least as succesful as Taylor.

    See what I did here?

    I can see why Brook Lopez was such a priority in the offseason then.

    Hey Rockets, the Titanic just split in half. Maybe jump on a lifeboat? "Were not ready to jump off yet but there are concerns." Holy *****ng **** is this Tweet concerning on multiple levels.

    Don't have to worry.....when have you ever seen the Lakers w/a short center?

    Davis, Shaq, Bynum, Divac, Kareem, Wilt.

    How many Rocket's games do you think Shaq ACTUALLY watch?

    Im concerned about both. Jalen has regressed and Sengun is good but he is just too short to compete against the taller centers in the NBA.

    And people keep saying Sengun dominated Chet earlier this yr but how do we know that Chet just did not have a bad game? Or had to figure Sengun moves out? Because the past two meetings I would say Chet got the best of Alpi.

    Im curious to see how Sengun play against Nurkic. The last time they faced each other Nurkic won that battle.

    And like I keep saying, if you lose the PAINT, more times than not, you lose the game. WE NEED A LEGIT CENTER

    You always write the same things. We get it, you don't like Sengun.

    From management to fans, the rot is deep.
