    But it's ok for KPJ and JG to be bad offensively and play most of the game. I see.

    I agree. And I do think they should. Especially KPJ im extremely low on in terms of effort.

    With Green I don't think so. He may suck on defense but he tries hard usually. It's just that he's not very good at it.

    Sengun isn't great defensively but he can be servicable if he tries hard

    No it's not, lol
    I agree with you. I'm certainly not a fan of KPJ

    In TWO years you will be looked back on as a cackling crow who just wanted to screech as loud as she could. Hyperbole is not your friend in this instance.

    i disagree...sengun has a beast defensive potential...and we have seen the flashes of it...however hes not properly coached, developed and rewarded for his play...on contrary...he was punished last year for playing good defense and hes not even given the playing time... he still didnt play 10 full nba games (30+ minutes) for his career here...
    what are we even talking about?!

    rockets are holding him back in a way unheard of....

    so rockets gonna make playoffs in 2 years, is that it?
    bro we could have won it all 2 years ago....

    now is the only time there is, that ever was...keep living in the future because thats the only way you can justify incompetence...

    ah pro tank is so much about 100% winning it all... anything less and its a no game...lolololol

    you think you will have a lot of fun and be so proud if you win nba title with rockets featuring 12 allstars on the rosters...lolololol

    its not how it works...youd be better off bribing the refs

    winning is only fun if its against the odds or if you worked hard for it...tanking is not anything of that..its like begging for years for a single ****....lolololol

    begging for a **** is not the way...laying down pretending youre dead is perhaps a way to escape a bear when your out of ammunition, not a way to win the championship...


    its a charity money.. you cant go around bragging about it because it was given to you because you were too weak to make it yourself... you didnt earn it...you begged and cheated your way into it...

    well silas and lucas taught him well...it doesnt matter whether you try or not, play well or bad... youll still get no reward...and the way you get rewarded is to throw fit and soups....

    the only time when silas rewarded alpi was after he trew fit in that one game early in the season when his teammates had to hold him down prevent him running towards silas...

    Senguns PNR defense is probably some of the worst in the NBA. He can get up in the chaos and get you some blocks and shot alters, but in space he is terrible. Sorry, but it is what it is. The team sucks on defense with Sengun, but it sucks more on offense without him. Damned if you do damned if you dont. That said he's the most refined player on the team. His years as a pro are evident and have him way ahead of the pace. The other players play like young dumb players.
    Listen to yourself you've become rabid. You really expected this team to win soon? You are scorching the earth with blazing strawman arguments that are emotional and illogical. You seem to think that if they feed the post every single god damned time that it wont become easy for an opposing NBA coach to stop. Just give Sengun the ball and let him be a "point guard" with his slow footed ass and inability to hit an outside shot to save his life. With that said SENGUN IS THE MOST REFINED PLAYER WE HAVE his years as a pro are evident and all this b****ing about development is stupid. Dude just needs an outside shot, but he wont take them. Mr. "Always in Practice, but Never in Games"

    Call it a tank. Call it whatever you need to - whatever stops the voices in your head! Allowing Alpy to control 100% of games wouldnt result in any more wins because the rest of the team plays like immature AAU guys. The most important thing that needed to be nurtured wasnt independent glory, but the ability to play as a team. Some games it looks great. Most games it looks like sht. Thats what you get with a team of kids.

    Your analogies are the works of a bipolar mind that is unhinged with mania. Begging? Bears? Bribes? Ammunition? LMAO. Get a grip

    re·build
    /rēˈbild/

    verb
    1. build (something) again after it has been damaged or destroyed.

    To watch the downward spiral into mania has been kinda sad honestly. To see the true colors come out even more.

    Sengun's PnR defense is ass.... but how many 5's out there can make up for starting Eric Gordon at the 3.

    JG and Jabari will always get more rope than Sengun because they're typology is more relevant in the modern NBA. They're also higher draft picks. Sengun is still a fringe starter unless he shows otherwise.

    KPJ....well I don't know what else needs to be said at this point.

    If one of them doesn't play to his potential, they would get benched.

    It takes for high end picks many years for sure until that measure would be taken.

    Alperen will be fine, there are teams and coaches that value him more and could hide some of his weaknesses better.

    The NBA is also a business therefore no need for Only fandom and excessive butt hurt.

    That was honestly the highlight of the game for me (apart form having Vassell in fantasy) because I got to hear Ackerman commentate it.

    He truly hates KPJ.

    then stfu and get a hobby or something. there has to be something more healthy you could spend the finite time you have in life than b****ing over and over and over and repeating yourself you don't even have any control over.

    you are now to the point where you are b****ing into the future that if this group actually worked hard and won a championship you would still b**** because they did not do it the right way.

    find a new team/message board that builds a team more to your liking. I mean unless you have mental issues in life then bless you, otherwise you sound pathetic.

    there is no pride in winning it all through tank....(in an alternate universe where thats even possible to begin with)

    this is like beggars bragging how they created a fortune by lying down on the streets begging passerbys to give them a coin....
    bwhwhahahahah!!
