    Last year Sengun would have great games and the coach would still throw him under the bus in interviews. This year after one of his worst games of the year the coach makes it clear that he will still believe and trust in Sengun no matter what, even though other young players, Jalen and Jabari, have been benched multiple times. Oh how the times a changin’. Basically Sengun is getting the Jalen and kpj treatment from prior years, except he actually deserves it.

    "I don't hate Sengun, I just hate Sengunatics"
    "Why can they never shut up!"

    Sorry Ime. Nope nope.

    @Os Trigonum not happy with you!

    How long until some fans start turning on Udoka because how bad he’s making them look?

    Didn’t watch the game but was Ime talking about Jalen when he answered shorter leash in second half for guys who keep making the same mistakes? Jalen only played 24 minutes.

    Silas is right now thinking how he can blame Alpi for the historical losing streak of the Pistons. Ummm, sooo Alpi, ummm

    Alp committed few turnovers and Ime was going to sub Uncle Jeff in with around 7:30 minutes to go in the 3rd, then Alp post up Wemby and scored on him and Ime immediately send Uncle Jeff back in the bench and let Alp play almost the entire 3rd quarter after that bucket. That's why coaching matters.

    That was not about Sengun, specifically. It’s about having a reliable post threat that is calming when offense is not clicking.

    i’ve been b****ing for years and my blood still boils when I remember 0 for 27, and not having anyone that we can throw it to in the post. The idiot Morey with all his BS about re-inventing basketball, Moreyball, the Postup is Dead, etc… Just the memory of that sleaze raises my blood pressure.

    So "calming’ to have things ran by a guy with common sense and no delusions of grandeur…

    Rich people like disruption. Calm is boring.

    More Antlers, masks, naked women, billionaires, booze, and gambling. We need that in the post.

    You said the coach would never do this to Sengun. He did less than 48 hours later.
