    Alpe felt the rush to torch the Thunder and went back to not really shoot 3s again.

    Sengun’s current line of 24/8/7 on great efficiency is entering elite territory. Here’s who averaged that or better last season:

    What ever happened to rocketchamp? I know he must be punching air somewhere seeing Alpi go off

    I'd say Phoenix forums. But I saw the main account' (wild guess) recent posts on show ignored content earlier.

    He’s soo good man. Can’t believe some dudes liked Jalen over Sengun. Dummies.

    the beauty of all this is the team is so unselfish from Alpi, KD, Amen, Jabari, Josh, Adams, Reed, Tari

    No one is out there primarily thinking about getting their 30 point and making the highlights by chucking the most shots

    Everyone is on the same page do what's best for the team to win

    I think Durant likes playing with Sengun

    Sengun has been great. I think his kryptonite is when he is defended by really strong stocky dudes, like draymond green or reed in Philly. It makes it very hard for him to back them down with back to basket dribble, which is crucial to his game. It is also hard for him to use his spin/pivot game because those types are both strong and mobile.

    I will be interested to see whether Sengun ends up playing more face up or relying on his outside shot in those matchups. But I believe we will struggle against teams with those defenders because Senhub will get clogged up.

    That’s when we need a PG and other plays to get the ball to KD.

    sengun is really the only starter in the team who can create for others. Jabari, kd, amen, tari all good offensive players, but rarely create for others. No wonder the team is struggling when Sengun is out, they lose playmaking, ball handling and defense.

    Sounds like we have the same person as a front runner on the suspect list.

    At times this year, I feel he is playing like a baby Pau Gasol with range.
