    KPJ icing out Sengun at every opportunity. Dude doesn't like to pass to Alp if he can help it.

    Don't worry. Alpi's value higher than KPJ+Silas+Lucas combined. Alpi will be here after they gone long.

    Good grief, it’s getting harder by the game to justify Silas’s decisions. KPJ is tied into that w/ his inability to hit Sengun on the roll, hence Bruno playing over him.

    The lob threat argument is so silly. You can still throw a high pass to Sengun, just have to practice it. If Stone is also insisting on prioritizing KPJ over the team then both can f off.

    I am just waiting on the inevitable starting of Bruno and justification being defense and lob threat…

    There is grudge between them for sure. Silas and KPJ teamed up against AlP. They gonna do anything to diminish his growing role within the team.

    It’s not about practicing. KPJ intentionally ignores Sengun when he has an open position. That’s what it is. We all should stop sugarcoating his behavior. It’s 100 percent intentional, he simply doesn’t want to play with Sengun.

    After watching him for a while, it seems to me like he's not good at boxing out and his motor can be questionable at times. Sengun and Garuba just have a better feel for the boards than Bruno, in my opinion.

    For example, I think if either of those two were in the game for the last possession yesterday, I think they would've secured the board (and then get fouled immediately in which case I would monumentally prefer Al-P on the line instead of Garuba).

    Sengun had among the worst +/- of anybody two nights in a row. At some point, we'll need 2 have a conversation about if Sengun's style of play fits the modern day game of basketball

    4-man Lineups that have played atleast 100 minutes together this season (updated after last night)...

    As usual, the dynamic duo is the only time we play winning basketball. But, let's keep focusing on playing the losing lineups more minutes because of politics. Great way to build a winning culture, lol.
