I could get behind this, purely because the two of them have some of the outright dumbest basketball takes I've ever seen.
Getting caught or even having 2 accounts is just sad. Gotta b so Insecure to need another account to like your post
ah finally someone with a normal take, lacking compulsion to tone it down to avoid hurting feelings of others or get rejected by the peers!
I don't think maj21 is DD. After more than 1.5 years, he still hasn't slipped and put his DD signature after any of his post. It's more likely that maj21 is Stephen Silas.
4. One good story amid the misery of the Houston Rockets Alperen Sengun is good -- now. Sengun is up to 15 points, 9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists on 59% shooting on 2s. He's a threat in the post, mixing in more power with his finesse and unconventional pivoty foot work. He often merits a double team -- unlocking his passing, probably his best skill. Even his turnovers are down -- despite each of Sengun's feet appearing to have its own independent nervous system. The Rockets are a semi-functional offensive team with Sengun on the floor, and if you watch Houston, you know that's a massive accomplishment. You see Sengun directing traffic on both ends, trying to restore order to chaos -- cajoling cutters, picking which side of the floor to run plays, calling out what the opposing offense might do. If the Rockets wanted to win, they'd run more offense through him. You sense Sengun knows this. Hell, players on other teams have said it publicly. Pair him with more accomplished passers, and Sengun will feast in the pick-and-roll. His weirdo push shot is a trademark -- Sengun's answer to Nikola Jokic's running floater and Joel Embiid's 13-foot jumpers: Almost 35% of Sengun's shots have come from floater range -- a huge number -- and he has hit 49% from there, per Cleaning The Glass. The knock is defense -- that Sengun is lead-footed, unable to stay in front of ball handlers or protect the rim. That's overblown. Sengun is a minus defender now. He's not a leaper. But the anticipation that makes him a huge plus on offense helps on defense too; Sengun is mastering the rhythms of NBA offenses, and arriving more often to the right place at the right time. He's getting better going straight up at the rim. Opponents are not shooting some ridiculous percentage in the restricted area with Sengun nearby. Advanced stats paint him as an average-ish defender. That's overstating it, but Sengun has the tools and will to get there. He'll look better when Houston's guards learn to get over screens -- so Sengun is not on an island. Sengun has a star potential on offense. Jabari Smith Jr. has flashed some catch-and-go verve. Houston's shoot-first guards draw most of the attention, but I'm excited to see how the Smith-Sengun front-court -- throw in more Tari Eason! -- coalesces.
Alpi is letting his game speak for him, and I like his quiet confidence. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the guy to build around.
More and more people are starting to see Sengun is special. He is doing all of this at 20 years old. His future is EXTREMELY bright.
As much I enamored by Sengun's play, it is sad that our center has to lead the team in assists. We NEED a PG so he can focus on being a C/PF.
