    What do you mean "you guys' world?" You do realise that we don't all live in a tiny community with shared cultures and values, right? Seems like you're the one doing the sweeping generalisations and stereotypes associated with racism and bigotry, not the rest of us.

    "You guys" that are posting here, in this thread...You don't like to talk about it and would prefer to pretend it doesn't exist. Again, I get it.

    No one said racism doesn't exist, it does.

    It just that sengun only fans like to portray sengun poor treatment as racism when it's really not.

    Never referenced "poor treatment", which I'm assuming you mean from Silas, who again I wasn't talking about.

    I never said racism doesn't exist, again, more generalised nonsense from somebody talking crap. I said there is no racism going on towards Sengun on this forum, anywhere. You just REALLY want to push the narrative for some bizarre reason.

    You just joined this conversation so I obviously wasn't referring to you. Sorry you feel the need to defend yourself though. But if you use your brain for second, no one would be openly racist on a public forum in plain sight.

    Folks hate on sengun not bc of his race but bc he lacks the characteristics they think is necessary to succeed in the league. Folks spent years watching tall athletic American center play bb hence y they dont believe sengun an international can succeed as an old school player that is skilled in the post.

    Some folks hate the post game that sengun plays is that racist? Fk no they just think the post game is outdated.

    Folks prefers 3s over the post game, it's preference. Like I said call out the next poster u think is being racist to sengun. I would love to see that

    I'm not "defending myself" at all, I'm just saying you're full of ****. So first people were being racist, but now they're not being openly racist? So you're just making stuff up from your own paranoia? Sounds...pretty pathetic in all actuality.

    You mean as opposed to making sweeping statements of racism based on zero evidence and just some random "hunch" or feeling you have? Cool story.

    Again, sorry you have no reading comprehension. It's starting to make sense now why you're seeing phantom racists, you're not very literate so it's easy to get confused.

    My thoughts. Silas is mandated to play Green, Porter, & Smith. He is trying to truly teach Sengun like most would develop any other player. Holds him accountable and pulls him out when things aren’t done correctly—> coaching. I believe Sengun will be better because of it.

    I remember you saying that you thought we should play through Sengun for now, but that you have doubts he could become a franchise player for us, if I remember correctly because of perceived defensive limitations.

    The data seems to not support the concern that much.

    I'm interested in your opinion because you are one of the most respected and knowledgable posters.
