    apparently there's some controversy about what to call our temporarily sidelined center. Gotta take the pulse of the GARM with a poll

    Did you really listen to that clip and think the term "turkish stiff" was the problem?

    When you live long enough to become the villain. Poor Os is obsessed.
    Went from likable troll with good content to grasping for any small portion of relevance all because a few people here are Sengun only fans.
    The Sengun only haters are far worse, sorry. Its not even a comparison.

    Why is African equivalent to Turkish? The guy was born in the US so it would be American or Nigerian American since his parents are Nigerian.

    You can call us Black its cool. I'd bet the guy probably remembers a good portion of the SOFs calling Silas a racist and blamed him for all sorts of things and guess what some of that same energy carried over to Udoka. Connect the dots.

    This is a bit too much. I generally find your troll posts genuinely funny, but that's not it. I'm sorry. Maybe you should take some time off this site or something, so you don't have to see any annoying SOFs.

    Verb, you have no moral superiority when you dont make a comment about name calling, belittling conversation about Sengun and where he is from on ESPN Houston and on this board! I dont belittle your experiences about racism but discrimination and racism is not only black centered! Those who call Silas racist also very likely were subject to discrimination in their societies. Dont belittle their experiences. Did you listen to what they said on ESPN Houston? "Get that weird European stiff out." "Well Jokic is European, too." "Jokic is not Turkish." "Well. Turkey is not really European." "That is what I am saying. Get that Weird Turkish stiff out."

    The guy who is saying Sengun is the weird Turkish stiff is black! So it is okay to discriminate Sengun based where he was born or dare I say what religion he was born into? The ancestry of majority of blacks in the United States were muslims from West Africa. That is a fact! That is food for you to think about!

    I honestly dont think Houston is a good place for Sengun! He is not valued here! Do I think he can grow with the rest of the team, including Jalen? Yes but fanbase doesn't want it. Neither, front office! I want him to go somewhere he can mentally feel excepted. Neither fanbase nor local media, maybe other than Frank, wants him. But that's just me!
