    Alpi has been playing so well lately. Him being a playmaker instead of just post player changes our entire offense. I love what I’ve been seeing lately. He’s back in his post playmaking bag.

    Kudos to the Rockets staff making Alpy more into a downhill playmaker instead of just a traditional post player. Can see the strides he's made and it's starting to pay off for both.

    Sengun has had some amazing performances, but something about tonight did seem like the precursor to a superstar breakout. It's not just that he was individually dominant. It was how he was focal point guiding a really, really good team.

    Seems like they’re making more of a point for him to be a primary playmaker on offense, opens up Fred to get better looks

    People on here called me a Sengun hater because I wanted to see him creating on the move more instead of posting up 90% of his time. He’s too good to be used strictly as a post player and it ruins the flow of the offense. I was called an idiot and a Sengun hater by people who’ve never touched a basketball in their lives. Ime and the staff deserve a lot of credit for making the adjustment.

    If we're a top 4 seed or higher throughout the season and he keeps dropping triple-doubles, he's an all-star imo.

    Love to see it

    We finally used him as a hub and ran off ball plays and this was the best offensive performance of the season. Granted the bulls defense might be trash but we good look after good look. Hope this is what we do going forward.

    The big thing for me is Alpy had 11 assists with no turnovers. That will make you a beast over time
