    Are the people who claimed Alpi will be played off the floor in the playoffs still among us?

    . We've always known Jalen was streaky. And I was just talking about game 1. Today you could tell he was locked in just by the way he played defense. That didn't happen in Game 1. That was my point.

    Except that Alpe is real athletic, athleticism is not just flying high...that is the misconception.

    He has the combo of some agility, smart head and intuition, elasticity, mad skills and core strength.

    Elasticity is athleticism as well.

    They need to explore the Alpy as ball handler pick and roll more, good things happen there usually

    This was not his best shooting game but he was amazing otherwise on both ends. He led the team in +/-

    Like Jokic, he focuses on what the team needs that game, points last game, rebounds and assists this game.

    Not surprising that warriors fans are frustrated with Sengun. They picked Kuminga AND Moody over him. It's a generational fumble

    Dude missed like 1 wide open layup and other 3 were tips ins he missed.

    1 of those possessions led to a Tari tip in so it’s not terrible but yeah he needs to work on his touch this offseason after bulking up.

    no reason to gain more weight dude is strong

    I can’t believe OKC traded him then went on to pick up Osmane Dieng the next year

    He’s not afraid of the bright lights. Completely locked in on both sides of the ball.

    Sengun was the one I was quite confident b fine with the bright lights. Man was an MVP of his turkish league before even coming here.
    If jalen green could b consistent, him and sengun would make a great dynamic duo

    Have to have that guy that steps up when the lights shine brighter.
    Knock on wood, but looks like Alp could have that.

    Sengun has been amazing so far in his playoffs debut

    No fear, stepping up big, understanding when to put the foot on the gas and when to take it off,.. a very stabilizing force

    I was one of the ones who thought he would be played off the floor. He has improved since Ime has been here.....BIG UPS ALPI!

    I still think Sengun is closer to Sabonis than Jokic. Jokic has a completely different game. Sengun and Sabonis are very similar. I think Ime is the difference.
