    That's so right man! He is the worst player I have ever seen. I am heading to the stable to chop a horse head and put in his bed so he never sets foot on a basketball court ever again.

    Reed being used as a decoy is mal practice. Please use him as a 6 man.

    While the 2 man pnR between Durant and Sengun still looks unnatural, it's the only thing that gets Alpi rolling to the basket. He is just amazing when defenders aren't kickboxing on him on the low block without a call. Stupid NBA. Jokic and Draymond do it, it's fine. There was this play Lauri made eye contact with Sengun and Sengun got the call.

    Has anyone else noticed we gave up on SenHuB™?

    What's going on with Sengun? Is he hurt or something? Or is Udoka really trying to run the offense through Reed and Amen instead?

    Ime is trying to learn how to fit Durant into this team. It ain’t easy and Ime is just now starting to learn how to coach offense. Durant and Sengun are both isolation type players. Reed and Amen are both space creators, one with the drive and one with his shooting. After the next 10 games, we will be solidly in the 2 seed and still not completely in sync. We have the talent to win a championship this year. It is up to Ime to figure out how to make the pieces fit. With all our players healthy, I predict we will be the no. 1 offense in the NBA this year.

    I question ones sanity / ability to understand what they watch on the basketball court .

    When they state Amen is a space creator, and then in the same breath state Sengun is an isolation player.

    Do you understate what you watch on the basketball court?

    Sengun is the definition of a space creator. Sorry. I guess maybe it's difficult to understand when so often you see Sengun catch the ball behind the 3 point line.

    Sengun when he's allowed to exploit his strength in the post - is the definition of space creator. Sheesh. Maybe this is why you were so defensive during the game at my response to your post. You're so used to me pointing out how stupid you are.

    Reed and Durant love each other but don’t fit well together. Reed should be coming off the bench and be instant offense for this team. He and Amen are perfect together in the backcourt, but Durant and Reed want to operate in the same area of the court and Durant, so far, has not been a good passer. Ime needs to get Durant to defer to Amen and Reed more often when they are in the game and become a spot up shooter, except for those occasions when the offense stalls and we need him to hit clutch shots.

    Sucks that we didn't pick up the win, but Sengun played great last night.

    Its very hard to called a superstar if you play for a team that wins 15% of their games.

    I was pissed I couldn’t watch the game and asked somebody to tell me what really happened, because I can only get so much out of box scores. Your first remark was then you should watch the game. I thought that was a jerky remark. If it wasn’t intended as such, I apologize.

    I am a big fan of Sengun, but the offense he is asked to run, whether it is in the post or outside of the lane, are isolation plays, just like Durant. Luckily Sengun is an excellent passer even when he is playing an isolation game, Durant is a crappy passer. There are multiple ways to create space. One is with shooting and another is by driving into the lane and having the defense collapse on you. In a spread offense or movement offense Amen can get into the lane at will which creates space for the shooters. Reed creates space by being an elite shooter and is also honing his mid-level game. Once Amen starts hitting those lane shots (which he will), he will start getting even more assists. Some games we have plenty of space to operate other games we do not and when that occurrence happens it’s mostly because of Ime’s lack of offensive acumen not Sengun’s, Amen’s, Reed’s, or Durant’s play.

    Calling me stupid is pretty jerky as well.

    Looks like Giannis is going to ask for a trade any day now. I think the rockets should seriously consider trading sengun for Giannis. That would make us true contenders that even OKC would be nervous.
