    I didn't realize JD Vance was a Garbage Pail Kid - what was his GPK nickname?

    sometimes too much poise / confidence. he's determined to put up a shot but he's not determined to make it go in

    the gimme's that he misses looks like he's simply being lazy or too confident or taking it for granted

    he needs to focus and detmined to be more efficient he's done that season's ago

    in the offseason less of those boxing drills more shooting drills start with the FT line

    I dont necessarily take it that way. Someone has to take the shot. Alperen is an unselfish player . GS was playing us in a way ( and also we are playing in a way with the double big) that they were limiting Sengun's passing options and making his best decision to try to score.

    It would have been nice if he had more makes, but he didnt take too many bad shots , at least from my memory.

    He needs to get stronger and learn what shots he can get away with and what shots he can be fouled and there wont be a call.

    I didnt think we would win , but im sad we lost. We should have at least send Draymond to the grave. There needed to be an adams elbow to the neck , an amen kick to the groin, and a sengun clothesline.

    the shots' selection and the moves were great. those shots are in the paint and Alpi has made them at an efficient rate historically and he practicesvon them

    the thing is they all looked a little casual or lazy or over confident or not determined or not focused. some were flat footed with one hand. would bending your knees jumping a bit or using both hands helped the the FG% being better? may be that's the way for sneaking the shot up but those need to be made at a better rate.

    he and Amen are as close as anyone can be to this teams' 1a/b they already have the skills, IQ, drive, passion, and work ethic offsensively and defensively.

    they just need to work more on their shooting on Alpis paint, float, and mid shots and FTs and Amen's mids, and jumpers and FTs. And eventually being at least decent from the arc.

    Maybe, but I suspect the Amen, Jabari, Jalen trio will still lack both outside shooting, securing the ball, playmaking. They are all projects, too many projects at once. For a healthy development we need someone to right the ship, and to give consistent production. To this date, FVV did that. But if we want to go deeper in the playoffs, we need an upgrade. I still think the most reasonable thing to do is doing that on Green. So your 5 with an upgrade on Green is the bare minimum in my opinion.

    I think Milwaukee is going to want Sengun, Cam and 3 #1 picks

    It's only logical to ask for the best players on the team, Sengun or Amen. OkC will jump in offering Chet or Williams if they get owned in the semifinals. And they should. You want an Mvp the deal has to hurt.

    "JG is the best player GSW was just the worst matchup"

    JG + spacing + eastern conference = dynasty

    Amen Thompson is the foundation. Alperen Sengun is not. They're playing two entirely different games in the Rockets' big-picture playbook.

    If Giannis is on the table, Sengun’s in the deal. No hesitation. Why? Because Giannis doesn’t complement Sengun, he replaces him. Their games clash. Their fit is oil and water.

    This isn't just the right move. It's a franchise-defining leap. Pull the trigger, Rafael. This is how dynasties start!

    You obviously just don’t know ball.

    I clicked "show ignore content" to see which idiot you were replying to. You should know Brooklyn White is an alt account created in 2017. He had absolutely zero post from the time the account was created in 2017until 4/28/25 and then exploded mainly with anti-Sengun bullcrap. That account was a stashed alt account for someone. I put him on ignore. I suggest you do the same or at least do not reply to him.

    I'm not some shadow account playing pretend. During the playoffs, I tried to sign up and the system told me I already had an account. So I did what anyone would do: I reset the password and got back in. Simple as that. I’ve already explained this to you. You just don’t want to believe it and keep repeating the same babble.

    And here's the thing, every time a Sengun fan doesn’t like what someone says, they go straight to character assassination. That’s the move. Discredit the person so you don’t have to deal with the point.

    But I’m not here to win a popularity contest. I’m here to tell the truth. Whether you want to hear it or not.

    Love that every step of the way the haters and doubters including the old coaching staff have been wrong and continue to move the goal post. Now morphing into the complete player with his defensive IQ and intensity, he still has another level he can get to offensively with muscle memory.
    24/12/6 assists just by getting 2 more Fg attempts and hitting his averages from 3 out 4 seasons. Kobe practiced 800 free throws a day. He should aim for 1,000

    Its would very unfair to Alpi if Houstom is trading him to a rebuilding team! The question is are the Rockets really force this Trade with Giannis or are the they giving this Team one more year to show the developing of the young Team. Maybe we see the Durant Trade. The be honest the Rockets dont need mor strong Frontline Player they need strong Backourt player. If you can realize the Giannis Trade do that but not for every prize!
