    Tell me you're delusional without telling me you're delusional.

    I'm a huge Sengun fan but Larry Bird is one of the GOATs.

    You can say anything you want about him but there are only 2 big men in the league who can make this pass. One is AlP and you know the other guy.

    Not sure if this has been posted already but Silas is actually the one telling Alperen not to shoot those open 3s? I thought this was interesting, I wasn't sure if it was a Sengun decision or a coaching decision but now we know.

    Yeah, the past few games he's passed up on wide open 3's. Last night was the first time he took them in a while. I guess he said '**** it'.

    Another reason why this coaching staff is incompetent. How can you expect a player to improve if they are avoiding their weaknesses?

    I had a hunch it was Silas telling him not to do it. Thanks for the confirmation.

    Can someone tell the coach that by his logic, KPJ shouldn't be encouraged to be a play maker.

    Look up incompetence in the dictionary and you see Silas. Nepotism is the only reason this guy has a coaching career.

    He takes those 3s only when he's playing extremely well. In other words, he takes those 3s only when he knows that he'll not be benched immediately if he misses.

    It’s called bias. Kpj and green have carte Blanche to do whatever they want and never have any consequences for it. This is the crux of my frustration with the coaching staff, not the benching or low minutes for Sengun, but not holding others to the same standards.

    I like that Paul Silas saw the promise in Al-P from the jump.

    I am siding with Silas on this, you cant work on your weakness with the little FG attempts you have, you will ruin your, and the teams rhythm and wont do even the basic stuff right.

    When alpi would play 35+ minutes a game and gets to shoot 20 shots a game then he can dedicate few shots per game to jumpshots or 3 pointers
