    What if it escalates to losing the entire season next year? This year is a lost cause I don't see the point of Sengun toughing it out when something is clearly bothering him and we do T ha e anything to play for.

    Landale has even started to play well if anything nows the time tk give Sengun a break IMO.

    This one point I am with you, we have an idea of what Sengün already looks like, he might be better in what he does in the future but the basic idea is there....

    No need to risk him.....

    More babying. The man has a back pad on and now is too injured to play? The whole team has nagging injuries but shut Sengun down lol.

    Jalen's been grabbing his hand the last few games has anybody made mention of that. STOP BABYING ALPEREN SENGUN!!!

    Fμck the playins; a man's health and future are at stake.

    There's no way the FO or coaching staff are ignorant of players' injuries.
    Ime has his own agenda on "making the playoffs".
    Stone has never been high on Senguın; he has never treated Alpi as a star.

    If Alpi's injury's being ignored or downplayed:
    Fμck the medical team, fμck the coaches, fμck the front office, in short:
    Fμck the Rockets.

    Depends on what the back issue is, I guess. I don't feel strongly either way. Shut him down, give him extended rest, or let him play. I'm ok with any option.

    Is the back hurt from the carrying? :p



    p.s.
    If someone has the credential on Rockets medical training staff I wouldn't mind taking a look.

    Back problems at 21 are a TERRIBLE sign.

    We're not getting a top 4 pick with ours ( maybe tge BKN pick), so we don't have to convey. The League wont let it happen. OKC would end up with #10 or something. Let our guys develop naturally..win some lose some. We'll end up with 34-35 wins.

    I'm always amazed at how many alleged doctors frequent this board.

    Thought about it. Unless it is somehow confirmed that this is something serious or something that would get aggravated by playing more, I want him to keep playing.

    Our team doctors, coaching staff and gm don't look at the messages here for them to make a decision on something. You may want to shut down Alpi but they won't or at least not because of this thread.

    deserves its own "Rockets would be dumb to let Houston sports media/Blogs influence them into medically treating Alperen Sengun" thread
