    Dude he didnt came from high school to nba. This guy was a proffesional before he join to the rockets. Please 15 minutes and he is out of stamina??!! I dont believe that!
    There can be soweit games where he isnt fit but Not at this game. I can accept that he start to try the last 10 minutes with Wood because we was very string at the last games but if you See that the Plan dont works why cant Change the Plan?!

    If you and these other geniuses on this board who probably never played organized basketball or coached before suggest Sengun play 30 minutes then how many minutes should Wood play? And many of you support the 1 big lineup. Some have even suggested playing both of them at the same time but then who comes off the bench? Theis? Sengun leads that second unit and unfortunately he plays behind Wood. How can he play 30 min a game unless he is in the same lineup as Wood? This isn’t a guard rotation when you have jamal crawford or lou williams who played heavy minutes as a 6th man since you have 3 or more guards. Most of you really have a simplistic view and surface knowledge quick to react and criticize. Impatient and hostile. Relax. Have some faith in these professional coaches and enjoy this young exciting team. They’re growing they’re learning they’re getting better. Armani Brooks has elevated his game immensely. Sengun is better. Josh is better. But hey you guys can continue to be negative its your choice. Freedom of speech and free will.

    You got to remember that he is only 19 and the speed of the NBA is far superior to anything he has faced before. He averaged 19ppg in 28mpg in the Turkish League, that is a far cry from the NBA

    Dont forget that Armani Brooks has elevated his game as well. He’s cutting more and driving more. He seems more confident out there and is making the right reads and plays. Hats off to Armani.

    you are the one who is wrong and expecting Sengun to be able to play 30 minutes a night against bigger faster athletes he had never faced before in his career

    So many fans expect our rookies to get heavy minutes and run in to the ground, just so they can be happy.

    They don't want any player management

    Defenses adjust and get tighter in the fourth. Its not a conscious effort, much more a conspiracy from the team to not get alpy the ball.

    Ive said that before, find minutes for them together and make it work. But in this particular game, it didnt happen early wc made unlikely to be made in the endgame.

    Players sometimes taking the good times for granted. Becomes more intense in the fourth

    Then that's on the coach, there was plenty of opportunities since Giannis and Portis played much of the game, especially down the stretch in the 4th.

    Magic suck. Mobley is a generational defensive talent.

    Pacers suck and so do the Knicks.

    Yes coaching matters but as we have seen, the Sengun and Woods lineups dont work man. Sengun is not a three point shooter. And you cant just have Wood stand out on the 3 point line, that will take away one of his biggest strengths as a roller.

    MDA would have figured a way.

    Vogel figured a way 2 seasons ago.

    Budenholzer figured it out last season.

    Good coaches figure it out.

    Did you actually watch the game?

    Sengun had no problem with the bigger stronger Cousins or Portis.

    Where is this coming from?

    One question?

    Why would we pattern our game after the Magic, Cavs, Pacers, or Knicks?

    Get back at me with some playoff teams.

    Follow the thread moron.

    Bucks just beat us with 2 bigs, won it all last season with that system.

    Lakers won it all with 2 bigs.

    Just admit you are a dumbass.

    Good teams play their best players, and usually together during crunch time.

    E.g. a death lineup.

    F'ing learn the game before you @ me.

    I have found the reason and formula for why this is happening.

    It is not hard to fix but during a season it might be, easier in the offseason.
