    I swear using +/- solely as the reason y a player gets lack of mins on a tanking team is dumb as fk.
    Makes me wonder if folks just box score watch.

    Are we tanking for Bruno Fernando?

    We are wasting 20 years old super talented Sengun for nothing! Fire Silas

    Yes, my issue here, KPj and most PG's want that roll man trailing on our back hip
    and Bruno gets in position faster.....Sengun lags too much and our guards have to
    slow down and wait for Sengun. This is why they (Green/KPj) end up snaking the
    screen as they try to buy time.

    Bruno brings more fluidity. As you said, Sengun requires that pass as his
    momentum is going towards the rim. When have we seen Sengun receive
    a lob pass.

    People think the players don't try it in practice. If it looks like garbage
    in practice.....then they won't want to try it in the game.

    Don't generalize what actual point guard prefer to knock on sengun. Any competent point guard can properly utilize his teammates to b their best self.

    KPJ has much to learn or is lacking quite a lot if he can only play with a certain type of big man

    Sengun just gets his, which is why his assist are low and not where we expected. He’s efficient so I don’t blame him, but he doesn’t make guys better like I expected

    A 4th year vet described as raw as h***, hilarious the length kpj groupies go to defend him and justify why sengun shouldn't b played in the starting lineup.

    If kpj is raw as h*** send him to the bench so he can learn how to play pg or h*** send him down to rgv to learn with tyty.

    Raw as h*** pffffft.

    Green has no chemistry issue playing with sengun.

    That is 100% on Silas.
    If any, and I mean any player would move off ball instead of camping out at the 3 pt line stationary, they will get the passes.

    Silas “system” is terrible. And it’s becoming a relic.

    Well the novelty of Sengun is that he is a good passer.....he gets 2.3 assists per game.
    Wow, that's Harlem Globetrotters level right there.

    But I won't harp on Sengun because I know the spacing is bad.

    But the Sengun fans only see things one way.
    Sengun doesn't need to pass proper like but KPj and Green need to be spot on.

    Sengun -24 vs GS
    Sengun -19 vs Phoenix

    Just need clarification on why Silas should play a guy more who's a -43 that last 2 games. Can you explain it for me?

    It's mismanagement by the coach. Even if he is basing it on defense, it's a bad decision. Sengun is your most efficient offensive starter, and much better than Green or KPJ. His usage is around 22%. When Silas subs him out for Garuba or Fernando, the usage rate for the center position is cut in half to around 11-12%. That means shots are going to the much less efficient guards on the team. So even if you are subbing Sengun out for perceived defensive liabilities, you don't really gain anything because you just decimated your offense.

    You realize that’s not indicative of player success individually right?
    Bruno was -15 against the Hawks in a Rockets win.
    So……he sucks

    U don't bench players solely on +/-. With that logic green would have never played last year.

    First round picks need mins. Bruno is not part of the team's plan for the future.

    I'm not going have this argument with a fool.

    I've said it many times.....It's different when Hines Ward moves from Receiver to Tight End
    as he did with the Pittsburg Steelers......just go out and run routes.

    But for Hines Ward to go from Receiver to Quarterback is miles apart.
    Now he would have to be Ben Rothlesburg. Totally different.
    World's apart. 4 years in the league my @##.

    You keep telling yourself running point guard is so easy. D*** fool.

    You have to realize, Sengun fans don't care how poorly the team plays with their guy on the court, they just care that their guy is on the court.

    The Rockets could lose every game by 50 but if v Sengun got the most playing time and touches, Sengun fans would celebrate.

    The irony.
    Yet you will defend every turnover from your boo.
    Stop with your hypocrisy
