Alperen Sengun gets TRIPLE-TEAMED and hockey assist to Jabari Smith Jr. three-pointer!

Beautiful basketball

 

that’s what we call bad defense .

but yes he got tripled lol

 

The better highlight is Sengun getting benched late in game when we could've needed him to get some good offense going.

Silas is and was thr true tank commander. He's excellent at getting the job done. Truly one of the greatest to ever do it, only his father is even more proficient at it

 

First assist of the season.

Took about 10 games before we registered our first assist.....but we (Rockets) got it.

 

Alpi demands a triple team?!?

 

its a better stat than PER
@LeDakota

 

I’m shocked KPJ actually made the right play and didn’t shoot that 3 lol

 

Regardless of how u truly feel about sengun, it's quite encouraging and scary too see that a 20 year old with post game would demand that much respect from a team like the Raptors.

I seem remembered the time where they full court pressed us like early on in a game and our youngsters couldn't even get the ball moving. This triple team was intentional probably ordered by their coach

 

this is where greatness lies in small things such as this and attention to detail...

 

His 3pt percentage was 16.7%.Glad he did not lower that magnificent percentage.

 

This is the growth the team needs to take the “next step”

 

Didn't want to let Alpi get the assist

 

your good you!

 

Watching the game, that's what I thought.

 

The encouraging part is that the team is trying to feed the ball to Smith. Also, I am glad he got a technical foul, showing some fire. I think he played exceptionally well at Auburn when he needs to carry the team on his back. Like the preseason even he missed some shots, he played really good defense. He may need to get used to a more complementary role, and it's going to be tough. Not all NBA players have the mindset of Vince Carter. Hopefully he'll get there.

 

I think he needs to be given the burden and responsibility on the defensive end. He's never going to have the skills to lead the offense, but he absolutely could and should be the QB on defense.

 

I like Alpi being our offensive hub in the high post. Don't know if it should be our go-to, but it has worked lately and is fun to watch. So I say go for it as much as possible until defenses adjust.

But.... this was definitely more on the Raptors making a defensive mistake than on Nurse demanding that Alpi should be tripled in the catch at the FT line.

 

I believe in the young man. I hardly suspect ‘this’ is the final product.

 

naw they were doubling Sengun when he got the ball too long. Rockets went away from Sengun in the second half. They let Jalen and KPJ run offense and they were getting swiped relentlessly. Raps could not handle Sengun at all.
