The Athletic: Bruno Fernando Will Start Over Sengun When He Returns

21 pts/19rebs/7asts/3stls/2blks

"but he can't do anything but post-ups"

 

If Bruno starts over Alpi, there'll be many torches and pitchforks.

 

I consider you a novice to NBA basketball.

You claim to be Marcus Morris father but seem to forget you have
the twin Markieff. I think you are a fan of the Turkisk league and
just following Sengun.

I have posted studies before here.....further proof you are not reading my
postings. Just Google for yourself, "Is the Post Up efficient in the NBA?"
See for yourself the endless amount of articles on the matter.

The play type has been going down each year by the best in the game....
But you novice basketball minds think we have rediscovered the wheel
or penicillin. You knuckleheads think the elevator is going up while
the 76ers, Nuggets, T-Wolves are riding that elevator down just
laughing at us. They have committed a ton of money on those
guys and have to ride it out.......we have no excuse for taking
this franchise that way. It's just dumb and uneducated.
----------------------
I've never said Porter Jr would be a star.....but that's the league we
are in. Guard Driven League!!! The two guard driven teams are
leading the way to playoff success. I'm a fan of Jalen Green and
Know that KPj compliments Jalen Green better than a Sengun.

All the Rockets need is Jalen Green--Porter and another
play maker from the 3 or 4 spot. Rockets will be just fine
in future years......no quote unquote point guard necessary.
Give me a Point Forward and the Rockets will be fine.

I would play Wembanyama at PF, Jabari at SF, KPj at one, G4 at two.
Give me a mobile athletic center if it's not Bruno.

Because of Senguns defensive limitations.....not the one to
take us to the promised land. Anyone that watched the
Warriors game understands that Sengun is not built for those playoff
teams.

Sorry, I don't make the rules, I just report them. His drop coverage defense
will be the doom of our playoff run. I would not recommend putting
significant money in Sengun. Not to sit on the bench in the playoffs.

 

He will get the same minutes - Bruno rarely plays even 20 minutes....

DD

 

What has Bruno done to earn those 20 minutes over Usman Garuba? I don't understand the appeal

 

By the way, I said before the game tonight that I did not believe that Sengun was actually injured yesterday.

That was all Silas wanting to have an excuse to start Fernando again.

You don't put up a performance like Alpi did tonight if you were injured yesterday.

 

Yeah In a guard driven league, Giannis and Jokic got MVP awards. Embiid shakes the league. Also Giannis won the ring, and Nuggets/Sixers make playoffs every year, and championship candidates .Alperen is also Jokic type player, and has same height. His numbers is better than when Jokic was 20 years old.

 

Bruno will never, ever put up a statline like that in the NBA. Dude has barely been an nba player his whole career I can't believe he has onlyfans.

 

KJ is better screener, roller, screener, rebounder, shot blocker, corner 3 ball shooter and switch defender than Fernando. Even at 6'6.

And KJ is compatible with every core Rockets player, including Sengun.

 

Bruno is taller, more athletic and a lob threat.

The irrational hate of Sengunatics for Bruno is insane.

 

Bruno and KJ dont play the same position so why does that even matter? The tweet you shared is about KJ being a 3 and you compare him to the center?

kJ is also a better 3 pt shooter, roller and defender than Sengun and Bruno and KJ can also play together you realize that right?

 

Have you seen KPJ try to throw a lob? There is no threat there.

Garuba does everything Bruno does better, and Sengun just dropped 21-19-7. Why should Fernando get minutes??

 

The Rockets for some odd reason prioritize the development of thrown away/unclaimed reclamation projects (KPJ, Nix, Bruno) over their very own first round picks.

 

Lob threat, useless in the hands of KPJ

Typicall taller and athletic nonsense. Sengun offensive capability outweighs whatever Bruno offers on defense.

Hell Garuba is more deserving, man is a superior defender.

Idk y most american casuals are so stubborn in thinking that a center needs to b tall and athletic to succeed. Fundamentals are the most important when it comes to playing in the nba and garuba or sengun have that down pat.

 

Too bad the Sengunatics are wackos and get insulted on his behalf

Talk **** on his fellow center minding his own business like it's his fault if he is starting or coming over the bench. BTW didnt Sengun start and Bruno came off the bench? Doesnt matter to the Sengunatics they still got upset at a clearly untrue rumor and acted like Sengun is coming from the bench and getting 5 mins of PT.

Y'all are such jokers.

 

Where's your proof of this? KpJ is clearly a core part of this team same with KJ Martin even if they arent FRPs.

He is not taller. He is also not more athletic, he is just slightly better at jumping. Sengun is much more flexible/smooth.

It's ridiculous to even compare them. They aren't remotely in the same stratosphere.

Your irrational hate for Sengun supporters is clouding your judgment.

 

You sound angry that Sengun had a great game.

 

Nothing wrong with Bruno, he seems like a nice complementary player.
