    Agree. It seems like Sengun does not have much leg strength. He keeps falling down, out of balance, and easily pushed around even by smaller guys. He seemed to have been gassed at just halfway in every one of the games played so far. He seems to have his timing off on both sides of the floor, and most of his shots are short like he has no strength at all. The ball is also easily ripped from his hands. What happened in the summer to prepare him for the season? Did they also over-coach him with so many different voices resulting in him over-thinking during games? This is the first time that I have seen him so tentative and indecisive about what to do on the court. What happened? Can you give us answers, Ime?

    anyway, you know what I say is the truth. Our team plays better without Sengun and we don't need him. It's normal to see him as an expendable piece after one terrible game.

    It's hilarious that you don't even deny it. Just stay on your primary account and stop being so ****ing weird, you're like a preschooler.

    Getting a little tired of Ime's "our problem was defense". Our problem through 85 games now isn't defense.

    To be fair Zubac is playing with probably the best pnr playmaker in league history. Watch Zubac highlights it's just a compilation of Harden threading perfect passes to a rolling Zubac.

    Imagine how much better it'd look with Harden threading perfect passes to a rolling Alpi...

    So basically you don't deny what I mentioned earlier. Just telling you Ime won't stop benching him like a preschooler...what a waste of $185 million. Paying him just to play 22 minutes is crazy. That's why we should trade him asap.

    I do deny it, Sengun's one of our best players. And you're a ****ing idiot for having multiple accounts to troll people. Next?

    Next is we will see what we can get for Sengun. I don't expect much though with that contract.

    Noble Udoka seems to be only concerned with defense and rebounding......inclusive with the hail mary 'big shot' cliche

    He's old school to the core

    I wonder why Ime didn't reach out to Mike D for assistant HC/run off. .... Didn't they have ties from Nets with Nash staff?

    Especially since Ime spoke about playing faster pace & shooting more 3s..... That is the Dantoni 7 seconds or less but with more emphasis on defense
