Sengun had one of the worst 4th quarters in a long time

    That’s the thing with sengun. I feel like he can continuously improve and takes these loss personal.

    I have a good feeling about him, Jalen green on the other hand sucks. Even if he takes it personal he’ll still suck.

    One thing about sengun is he didn’t shy away even if he was guarded by a dpoy.

    he had to work extra hard and ofc a championship team is gonna focus on him. Especially when you have Jalen green doing absolutely nothing. NOTHING. Did you see green standing in the corner during our offensive possessions. How the hell did we think this guy was the franchise player

    Very much this.

    Its exactly what a playoffs series does, when seeing same team consecutively. Sengun can scoopty doop & flamingo fling to decent effect in reg season, vs a different team each time. But against same team in a row, by the 3rd/4th game they're gonna sense flaws & tendencies.

    It looks like he needs to work on making his shots even when he gets beat up. Go to New Zealand with the caveman. In practises, or in some games where he rested well (like the first game of the series), his shot looks really good.

    Sengun psyched himself out. It didn’t matter who was guarding him, he was always going to throw up a sloppy shot with a low chance of going in. He beat himself.

    I'm sorry you're not the expert you think you are. You can ruin someone's offensive game and it have nothing to do with iq.

    I don’t think I’m an expert. I just don’t think I need to preface every statement I make by clarifying that it’s only my opinion. But I can clarify, if needed. My previous statement was just my opinion. In my OPINION, Alpi had a really high basketball IQ. In my OPINION, our offensive system could be better tailored for Alpi, but IN MY OPINION he will do better next season in terms of touch and finishing.

    We lost because we got rid of the one that beat up Candace Parker in that hotel room and not the one who takes it up the butt from Josh Christopher and paints his nails

    So you’d put Jalen green on the same level as a domestic abuser?

    No, I'd put all three on the same level as shitty players.

    I gave the correct answer, I only care about their performance on the court.

    I think the problem is he needs to learn to shoot more than he needs better touch. That’s going to do so much more to both his game and for the team if he can get defenders guarding him outside the paint.

    Not called a Jumper if Alperen Sengun isn't Jumping. Just call it the Flat Foot Shot.

    Even on Free Throws he is flat footed, Alperen Sengun doesn't even bend his foot.
