    Also what Sengun wants Udoka to work on :D

    @Salvy is not around these days, you'll have to settle for this.

    I'm not gonna say Sengun should dictate Udoka's coaching but I do think its important to have Udoka adjust all of his plays to make Sengun the primary and secondary offensive option. Communication is key, as long as Udoka is willing to listen to Sengun I think his position as head coach is safe.

    I demand that he makes him the third offensive option as well.

    If Sengun was also the third option defenses would just triple team him all game and Sengun would tire out more quickly. At a minimum Sengun should only have to deal with double teams since he can handle that with ease. The Rockets can't be predictable, let Jabari or Green have a couple of shots....

    Just checking, has Jokic become a lob threat yet?

    I think they should trade for Bruno Fernando (and KPJ) and start them over him.

    And then they should have Feigen, Iko and Clutch release articles at the same time, praising the move.

    Impressive defense by DEN last night. Jokic was a man possessed. DEN killed MIA on the boards, controlled the free throw battle and just flat out busted their cheeks coming out of halftime. "They were who we thought they were" applies to both teams I think. Hopefully Tyler Herro can give the Heat some kind of boost because they look deflated.

    It's just too bad Sengun will never be Jokic Sized. His height, length really helps with punishing the Heat on rebounds and on mismatches

    Apache's superb analysis attributed miami win not to the superb shooting of miami, not porter and murray giving enough contribution and effort, not kcp making the dumbest fouls in the fourth, not refs missing obvious calls but to jokic's slow footedness :D And the solution was to reduce his minutes to 28 :D:D:D

    Of course Denver played very good 3&D basketball just like @Verbal Christ suggested and got an easy win. You can't beat 3&D.

    Careful he might throw a hissy for people calling out his way off predictions and leave clutchfans again.

    They shot 28% from 3, they basically did the opposite of 3 and d basketball. They played no 3 and all 2 point basketball

    Of course, anybody with a functioning eye can see that. I was just mocking Verbal. His last stop in everchanging arguments against Jokic, after previous one fails, was Denver was actually playing 3&D(he argued for pages that all the teams were playing 3&D).

    He was also right as Murray had a great game so it wasn't jokic's individual greatness. He got help from teammates. :D

    I love to laugh at you guys who wait in the wings with your hot takes waiting with recency bias as if you're bringing some new light to the conversation! I'll be eagerly awaiting your forecast of Sengun in a few years having 30/20/10 stat lines in a playoff game. Should be fun!

    LMAO .. I guess Denver didnt play any defense last night? Is that what you're insinuating that they won a grinder by outrunning MIA to the rim and 80 post plays? You casuals are just too cute! Not lost on those that actually understand whats going on out there is that Denver played the best perimeter defense of the series thus far, but yeah "No 3 No D" :rolleyes:

    This has been a great series for all the nostalgia lovers of the 90s - Nice!
