I will NOT forget the spiking of the footballs that we saw in March. If you don't believe me, listen to Ime Udoka talk about Alperen Sengun. Season 4 is going to be bananas. H-Town about to go berserk, and I need to figure out where to move the fam so I can get season tickets...
Looks like we were a "defensive terror" the last 5 games, without the "worst pick and roll defender in the league". Jabari at 5, that is the way?
This team can win some games against weak teams like in March without him, but can not achieve its play inn or play off objectives without Sengun. He is the consistent offensive creator and maestro of this team...
Once you start playing with competent teams... But if we had an athletic rim runner big, oh boy finals here we come!
This actually went on for 51 pages lol If Jalen is going to get me banned at least I’m gonna take a final piss in here.
They are not as good as the 11 W Streak and they are not as bad as the 5 game L Streak but for sure they lost the Utah game because they did not care. With or without Sengün winning against Utah and Portland are Must W Games.
Sengun is the reason this team whole season was talking about play inn.. Without him, Rockets is a bunch of ncaa team. Him and Fred makes this team a real team. March madness against worst teams in NBA made some idiots crazy, started yelling we dont need Sengun. Sengun is an allstar caliber player, only that player in Rockets in this category.. All teams in NBA needs a player in Sengun. Only game changer in this team...
I expected this crash down. It’s exactly the same script as what happened when we traded Clint and put Russell at the 5. For awhile we looked awesome and then it all fizzled out. Same here with Amen at C. This type of lineups can be terror, but they are situational. Watch the Clips, some of their lineups without Zubac look otherworldly, but if they get rid of Zubac for a full season the’ll finished at 0.500 or below.
I think the majority of the posts in this thread are by people who are arguing against the idea of getting rid of Sengun. Clutchfans posters who actually believe the team is better without Sengun and post about it are miniscule in number, maybe five or so. (Though there are more than a few posters who do question whether Green and Sengun can coexist and truly be effective together, myself included.) You can tell how valued Sengun is by looking at the Rank the Top 6 Core Players thread below. Almost every ranking has Sengun at the top or in the top 2 to 3. https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/rank-the-core-6-in-order-of-keeper-priority.322862/
No joke, the deeper fanatism of Sengun makes me uncomfortable being around it. I dont get it, I dont like being involved in it Whats clear to me still, was the Rockets needed Sengun against the Kings to win, the same game he got hurt. Which was already a 4th win in a row. They didnt win only in spite of Sengun, they were winning with him. Vs better teams Sometimes no matter your defense, Luka, Kyrie & Klay are gonna go off, and you need buckets of your own against it. Against the good teams, another go-to scoring option and facilitator is quite helpful.
