    I can’t believe this was even an actual debate.

    Well i wanted Sengun but was ok with Fernando, was wrong it was clear Sengun should have been starting and the focus on the offense all year.

    I don't understand how you can see him in practice and not see how good he is......his team probably always wins the scrimmages.

    At least he is taking ownership! Unlike our head coach, and all the other posters hiding on CF.

    DD tends to own up his mistakes when it's clear he was wrong. Not every one does on this board

    I still think Sengun should play more of his minutes against weaker second units.

    Couldn’t you say that about every great player? Hell, you’d want Lebron to play more minutes against weaker second units too.

    Do you think Sengun should come off the bench for Bruno Fernando? :D

    That's what fans of other teams wish for their players so they won't get annihilated by Sengun, our best player and franchise player.

    Some quotes from opposing teams' fans after the last three games:

    "Sengun is cooking Gaff damn"
    "I'd take Sengun over Gobert in a heartbeat"
    "Can't wait to see what Thomas Bryant gets Sengun for Father's Day"


    We have such ungrateful and illoyal fans among our fanbase, like @SamFisher - instead of being happy, he chooses to be miserable.

    One way to go through life, I guess.

    Are you calling me out?

    Sengun 22/23: 121 ORtg.....115 DRtg
    Bruno 22/23: 121 ORtg........113 DRtg

    (Bruno has been struggling with knee issues after my postings)

    Before season I posted Sengun:
    28 mins....14 pts....7-8 rebs.....5 Ast.....33% (3P%)
    28 mins...15.5 pts..9.0 rebs....3.5 Ast...31.3% (3P%)
    What did you predict? If you said nothing it goes down as zeros across the board

    _______________________

    Sengun 22/23............pts........rebs......Ast......Blks.....
    per 36-mins...............19.9......11.6.......4.5......1.3
    Bruno 22/23
    per 36-mins...............12.0.......11.3.......3.1......2.8

    Sengun 22/23...............pts.......rebs.......Ast......Blks......
    per 100 possessions...26.7.....15.5........6.0......1.7
    Bruno 22/23
    per 100 possessions...16.0......15.1.......4.1......3.8

    Again, Bruno has developed knee discomfort since my postings

    Bruno 21/22
    per 36-mins.......26.4 pts.....15.3 rebs......1.1 Ast....3.1 Blks

    Bruno 21/22
    per 100 possessions...34.9 pts....20.3 rebs....1.5 Ast....4.1 Blks

    ----------------

    I had JiffyFly or BobbytheGreat tell me Bruno is not better than Sengun.....I agreed.
    I responded I'm not saying Bruno is better than Sengun. I'm saying Bruno gives
    Silas more of what his system asks of a center.

    Same way Jokic, Embiid, KAT, (Sengun) are better than Looney, Robert Williams,
    Draymond Green offensively......it's about what they offer defensively and as a lob threat.

    Capela gets you a few points as a lob threat but led the league In rebounds a few years
    ago and alters shots. A body halfway between guarding Embiid/Jokic while still able to
    switch to guard a Jason Tatum or Jaylen Brown on the perimeter.

    I don't care if Embiid, Jokic, Sengun are MVP's in the regular season if they can't
    get out of the first and second round of the playoffs !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Same owners don't want to win because going to the playoffs often ends up
    costing more money or cuts into the profits heavily. Donald Sterling of the
    Clippers was often criticized for losing in order to stay in the black.



    Nuggets right now are a number 1 seed......if the season ended today they would
    probably face #8 seed the Warriors. I would predict another first round bow out
    by the MVP Jokic. Warriors in five just like last year. Some teams are built to
    win in the playoffs......while others Jokic, Embiid, KAT, Sengun are not.

    But hey, let's sell some tickets and be champions of the regular season.
    Im about building champions not also runs.

    Last night Bruno got pulled during the 4th collapse and ripped his jersey off and walked down the tunnel (by rox bench) and disappeared for the timeout, and several possessions. Meanwhile Garrison was assaulting a waterbottle and his chair during the same moment (getting pulled 4th) LOL!

    Also the entire game John Lucas is cracking jokes, high fiving the young dudes.

    Tilman and son, getting analytic stat sheets from one of the lower assistant coaches(he walks over and hands them to them!) during end of quarter breaks... this team is a circus for real! and a terrible one that abuses animals including tigers!

    The problem is Bobby and him are always wrong and they double up on their stupidity until they're actually forced to admit It. DD is nowhere near as bad as Bobby though. He might be the worst poster ever on Clutchfans

    Were you at the game? If you weren’t, it’s possible Bruno went to the stationary bike - he goes there frequently to stay loose.

    KPJ is a budding star player, we need them both......when teams double Sengun you are gonna want someone that can get his own like KPJ.

    I think y’all read into way too much. I saw garrison loading it when he was pulled, he was doing the same thing down the court after he took a couple really bad shots in a row while we were trying to get back into the game late in the 4th. It seemed very obvious that he was upset with himself for taking/missing bad shots then giving up an easy layup.

    a lot of y’all have preconceived notions and are viewing behaviors through that lens.

    Yes at the game and sat right by Rox bench. I did not see him go to bike but my angle for tunnel entrace isn't the best. But I did seem him rip his jersey off and storm off. The rest I've witnessed all multiple times live (i have season tix) and I'm telling you this team is out of control, run by the young cats, and some of the journeymen, unheralded players have had it. John Lucas, great mentor, but a clown on the bench. Would never want him as a coach. And the Owner and his son the biggest jokers. Getting and reading stats live during every home game and watching the son act like an emotional angsty teenager in his courtside seat. It's embarrassing that family runs my team.
