    I can assure you he doesn't mind you saying that.

    I would rather have Reed Sheppard quick hands on defense instead of Fred VanVleet 6'0. Taller Guards make fun of Fred and don't respect him. LaMelo Ball after shooting the 3 makes a Too Small Gesture to Fred. Fred didn't care and continued to play bad vs the Hornets.

    Here I was thinking the last 2 minute report would be some interesting reading, and the cowards didn't do the OT period.

    Can't say I've ever seen them just skip an OT before, how many Incorrect No Calls did they find that benefitted the Warriors? Trasparently rigged.

    I guess holding himself accountable as the coach should be key.

    Aaron Holiday is a bit much...... he is one of those midget shooters.

    9th man .....

    Fred's Gawd status will be Jalen Brunson.

    Oh, somebody finally clarified the previous posts about Sengun leaving after the second quarter.

    The greatest coaches in NBA history would often blame themselves for team losses or their stars' bad games. Has Ime ever admitted any fault for a Rockets' loss or a player's bad game?

    I think he has IQ but he does not have EQ......no emotional intelligence.

    One trick pony of a robot.

    How can he move on from a good Celtics life and get involved with a colleague's wife....

    Confirms what I saw, the 3-on-1 in transition and double off Hield were the ones I saw particularly that pissed me off. Tari has to be smarter with his energy. It mostly involves bench players, no FVV, no Sengun. Do with that as you please.

    When you watch specific videos, as a fan, you have to be puzzled by the interpretations. At least they admitted that one drive where Amen was knocked to the ground was not "marginal contact." It takes a lot for them to put INC next to a call.

    Sengun, who has a lousy reputation with the refs (as a complainer and as a European-style defender who makes too much contact), did these same actions; the whistle would blow. I still think Sengun should ask the coaches to give him video breakdowns of Looney and Draymond because they are below-the-rim guys who have mastered contesting without fouling. They are unlikeable in other areas, but they know how to be physical when someone crashes into the lane.

    Yes, every single day. He just does public execution of Sengun as a hobby after games but other than that, he regrets and is ashamed why he couldn't play Fred more than 48 minutes. He doesn't blame NBA rules for that...he blames himself.

    Come on, stop spreading BS on CF. We have more than enough of that in this election. Just create your own bash Alpi thread and make all of the rabid anti-Sengun posters have at it among yourselves.

    Wow. Alpi was really bad not defending all of those three point shooters on the video. NOT. Ime benched him for these "defensive lapses"? Trade him to the Heat! As one constantly dissing Sengun on CF whether he played good or bad posted, the Rockets have bad outside shooters so they need to trade Sengun because he does not fit. You can't make this stuff up.

    There is absolutely zero chance Sengun would finish a game if he emulated Draymond and Looney.

    Once you get that good defender rep with the refs, you're allowed to foul with impunity. Makes me wish Udoka would stop singling out Alpe for the team's defensive failures. The refs hear his own coach cooking him so they give him no respect and call him for the softest fouls, while allowing him to get clobbered on the other end.

    Starting to wonder how much of his finishing issues this year are simply down to fouls not getting called?
