    Projection much?
    You are literally always wrong lol.
    You disappear until Jalen has a solid game or Alp has a subpar game.

    The numbers counter your sentiment.

    50/50. That last sec play one legged flamingo sengun whiff put us into OT where he clutched up.

    Not saying ball shouldn't b in his hand for the last play but I rather prefer a different look shot over that one legged flamingo. It wasn't even close

    Did the numbers support Ime benching him for his defense not even a few games ago?

    He's been sick, it was even mentioned in his last interview. However, you being a idiot wouldn't know this

    Rockets defense this season is 3 pts/100 better with sengun on the court and the rockets defense is 9.5 pts/100 WORSE with jalen on the court this season. If you're interested in some numbers.

    Actually Bruno got hurt so we never got a full look at him starting. Plus we were TRYING to lose so not a good example

    Misleading. It would depend on who Sengun's on the court with. For example, if Sengun's spending more time with Amen & Tari, then it would appear Sengun's the reason the defense is good. But that could be Ime putting his best defenders on the court to mask Sengun's deficiencies

    Neither of those guys start, and that wouldn't account for THAT big of a gap. Why does our defense tank when green is in the game though? Losing 10 pts /100 is an enormous drop off

    I’m well aware he has been sick but his stats since his rookie year are about the same. You can’t fault that on being sick for 3-5 days.

    He was traded and never got off the bench in ATL and is just bench fodder in Toronto. And we weren’t actively trying to lose; we just weren’t that good enough.

    What does it tell you when one guy has 41 points but in overtime they decide he's not the guy and give it to Sengun who basically scored all our points? Jalen couldnt miss any shots cuz he kept throwing the ball away and dribbling out of bounds in second half,

    Hooray jalen played 1 good game. Why don't you show some videos from the last two weeks.... oh wait you can't. When sengun is putting up triple doubles and leading us to victory. Jalen is sitting on the bench wondering where his shot went.

    you do realize Jalen's been benched way more than Sengun this year... Sengun being benched was more about his offense than defense. He was bumbling around and throwing the ball away. But it seems he's a second half player cuz what they realize is if they keep playing him he is inevitable.

    The best thing to do with these kinds of trolls is to de-platform them. Just put them on ignore, don't respond, don't waste a minute of your time on them, because that's what they thrive on.

    No sir lol. It was in fact more so his defense. Like last year he was getting picked on defensively by other teams every possession forcing Ime to play Jabari at the 5. Don't worry we'll see this again later this season

    lol except we've been through this. He got benched and our defense wasn't any better. Like the warriors game. He got benched in first half and we gave up like 70 points...

    You really musta been sad watching sengun with game saving blocks in two games in a row. Really messing up your narrative that never made any sense,

    That last play in regulation with Alperen Isoing was absolutely NOT successful. It was pretty dreadful to watch actually.

    But Ime went right back to him in OT to close it out.
