    Awfully quick to change that front page @Clutch. Gotta move off all-star Alperen to “weak interior defense” story ASAP. :eek::D

    Let's not let facts get in the way of a good narrative.

    Of centers who played more than 35 games and at least 30 minutes per game, Sengun is 2nd in defensive rating, 3rd in defensive win shares and 5th in holding opponents to fewest points in the paint.

    His team also has the best W/L record of all teams who have such a center in the middle.

    As a side note, Bucks lost to Memphis 132-119 and got demolished on rebounds 61-36 (22 offensive boards for Memphis).

    Brooks "The Grass is Greener on the Other Side" Lopez had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 32 minutes and as of now averages 12 pts - 4.8 rebs - 1.7 asst. in 32 minutes per game this season.

    Frontpage not changed for months. All-star Alperen gets in there for 3 days. :confused:

    Well, the Doncic trade is a pretty major development. I wouldn't worry about it.

    No one is worried, but it is amusing nonetheless.

    The Rockets having a 22-year-old C in the all-star game is a pretty major development too!

    Can Sengun fans be called Goonies?

    The advanced defensive metrics for Sengun do not lie. He does so much that goes underappreciated by the casuals and trolls.

    Saw Amen and Eason getting "hunted", it's a sick catch 22 the PnR in today's nba. Should be an offensive foul when set near or above the 3pt line. Makes it unbearable especially when the ball handler decelerates bumps into you sideways to rub his short arms.

    That's why Sengun is this team's most valuable player and allstar..
    All these kids can make empty sheets, but without him, you can not win consistently.

    When this team was luckily winning against worst teams last year, which l call Artificial March in Alpi's injury last year, people were shouting trade Alpi, this is Jalen’s team, we dont need Alpi.
    Oh yeah?
    Without Alpi, this team is at best #7 or #8 team.
    I am afraid if he does not come back early, Rockets will be at #4th or #5 after the coming days.
    We desperately need him, infact his absence will affect this team more than FVV.

    It has been clear for a long time to people who really understand basketball.
