    How good would it be if the coach put the second best post player in the league, into the actual post instead of touching it 99% of the time behind the 3 point line.

    Crazy concept to Ime.

    You do realize we won in a blowout last night, right? Do you do anything other than whine?

    These past two games, they could really have benefited from the FVV bread and butter to get Alpi downhill. They're being overly physical on the low block, 3 free throw attempts in 2 games. You can't even call it physical

    It’s time to accept that Şengün is not a franchise, MVP type player. Simply does not have a feel for shooting or finishing, whether a 3-pointer or a layup. He’s a streak shooter, and guys like that are not franchise players. He is what he is, a very good player. Not even that good a rebounder unless he’s alone or a ball comes right to him. My fellow Turks need to chill on the “he’s the only one who can create offense”, “he’s the engine” nonsense.

    Idoka obviously feels the same given the limited minutes: they were better with him off the floor. As has been the case for the last several games. Pretty much offering little of late; little rebounding, few assists, little defense (3 of GS’s 3-pointers were over him).

    Unless he’s feeling it cannot hit wide open 12 footers. GS literally leaving him wide open and laughing at him. He’s barely any better than he was last season, if at all.

    And +/- tonight ; -20. Has had some of the worst +/- of all the starters for the past several games. Maybe save the “too small” garbage until you actually accomplish something substantial, Alpi. You’re embarrassing yourself.

    Too often if he gets the ball in the post - he gets stripped or stuffed.... he's better off working up a head of steam or twirling into the post...

    You don’t win championships with a guy like Şengün who can’t shoot if his life depends on it.

    Your shtick is tiresome and unwelcome. Please stop posting.

    Şengün simply doesn’t have it as a shooter. Extremely unnatural and mechanical for him. Yes like any lousy shooter he might feel it for 1 or 2 shots but he will lose it again. The comparisons to Jokic, even at the same stage of career, are absurd.

    Enjoy. And stop pumping him up to be what he is not, all of you fanboys.

    Dawg I literally do not care. You do not post anything on here unless it is to criticize Sengun. I'm not even pumping him up or defending him here, you are just annoying. This forum is for rockets fans to discuss the rockets. Even if your posts are reasonable I do not care. If 100% of your posts are about one player, and they are all negative, you aren not welcome. Just go find something else to do. Please leave.

    Oh really? So when he has one great game are you going to claim that you’re right all along? Great players are consistent, they don’t stink for 3 straight games. They’re not lousy shooters good for 2 airballs every game. Great post players finish inside at a higher rate than his 50% or whatever it is. Talk to me when he averages over 50% shooting and has a consistent stretch.

    He's still young, he will have bad games and bad stretches. As much as we all hate draymond, he's one of the all time great defenders so it's a very tough matchup.

    He has consistent stretches, often.
    It’s when you’re not posting, which is pretty frequently

    Except I’ve said he has gotten better on defense. So not all negative :). You’re welcome to not read my posts.

    You can tell this b**** is not a Rockets fan since he's only here to bash a Rockets player after a Rockets' win over the hated Warriors while all the real Rockets fan are enjoying the win. Made it easy to put on my ignore list

    Yeah man Draymond really has his number and it makes me sick. I hate Draymond so much, maybe more than any other player. I can't wait for him to retire. But it's painful to watch how bad he shuts down Sengun.
