Shengun was cooking Turkish food last night straight Chef business 🔥🔥

[@codingstyle9480]

Surprisingly Jalen also paired well with Alpi in this game. However, Jalen should be disallowed to take 3 pointers unless he improves; it is a shame to have 1/10 in 3 pointers:)) It was a marvelous performance displayed by Alpi. Well done to Alpi. The Rockets should make their mind soon as to choosing Alpi the central piece of the team and decorate the team with good shooters around Alpi. That is the only road to success for the team.

[@JamSessionInMyMind]

Nah I'm fine with it. Good looks within the flow of the offense. Good game from him.

[@bosunibrahim4924]

Hmm I wonder if you can win big with Alpi…he is not sound defensively

[@codingstyle9480]

@@bosunibrahim4924 That is a stupid claim.

[@baranefe7742]

@@bosunibrahim4924 you can just build around him. he is not worse defender than jokic or lebron. he just need to learn and experience game more.

[@dr.umutkoksal5169]

Sengun is a young player, for a young player sometimes it is not easy to perform same level every night, show that consistency. But in two years, he will be one of the best big man in NBA.. He is already a star, if he increases 3 pt percentage and add some tricks to his defense, he will become superstar...

[@Texansfan59]

Sengun been our most consistent player though he has had a few bad games as of late but he made up for it.

[@xxvvxxxx]

and still there are some clowns in rockets management sayin they are not gonna invest on Alpe....

[@darkprofile]

Alpy had a good game because spurs defended him only with wemby. Other teams always use double team for Alpi. And when double team pressure comes Alpi makes 3pts assist to team mates and they all waste open shots. If there were solid shooters in rockets Alpi could have done triple double nearly in every game. And if houston could score open 3pts shots good other teams couldn't dare to double team for Alpi often.

[@oddball9743]

And we see why teams always send the double to al p. Its smart but I want more of this 1 on 1

[@user-cg3tx8zv1h]

You said it... As long as the team doesn't give up on Sengun, and keeps playing off him, the Rockets have a shot against any team...

[@pitongus]

Green gets a lot of criticism for his shooting and deservedly so, but no credit at all for his improvement on the defensive side and especially his passing.

[@ottomanjanissary7950]

Alperen=$3,536,280, Fred VanVleet=$40,806,300,, Jalen Green=$9,891,480 Season 23-24. Yearly Payment for each player. Alperen almost gets paid as an assistant coach. The least paid person on the team, aside from a few dollars.I will say this after every match.

[@burakyilmaz4543]

Alperen Sengün is the youngest player to perform at least 45 points 15 rebounds and 5 steals in a single NBA game.

[@philipperapaccioli2868]

Sengun had a great game but scored only 6 baskets against Wemby in the paint while getting blocked 4 or 5 times. Wemby also never got any help from his teammates. Sengun scored 18 points in the paint against Collins, Sohan and co. The rest he shot from the 3 point line or from mid-range, taking advantage of Wemby who was defending the rim with none of his teammates switching on Sengun. So great game from Sengun but not a very good defensive game from the Spurs.

[@may_laytrucker3127]

He got sweet revenge on wembenyama 💪👍👏 🔨

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

Wemby has so many expectations riding on his shoulders. Defenses are clogging the lane and swarming Wemby , daring his teammates to make their shots. The Spurs need to respond as a team. The game was competitive late into the game and if not for Wemby's second half drought, the outcome could have been different. For Wemby, this is a valuable learning experience and will only motivate him further. Add Wemby/Sengun to Wemby/Chet as another great rivalry of great young big men to savor in the future.

[@djmill8000]

Sengun was cooking Doner Kebab on the spurs smh

[@eydur]

Gatlin says for Jabari rebounding is still there . OK :) we love jabari

[@JordanPapel]

Doesn’t count according to the haters. He still can’t fly or walk on water lol

[@tdjorgensonedits]

He can fly. Flight 28! Nah I’m playin😭😭

[@tsuthebasa]

Oh! Now he is a star huh?

[@LockedOnRockets]

Never said he wasn't. Maybe I used the word "star" too loosely last episode, but the point is the Rockets don't have a top-20 talent. Sengun could possibly get there one day, but he's not there yet. That was the point. But go off I guess.

[@mbulentozfirat8102]

@@LockedOnRockets he is already at top 20, it take times for some people to see it. He will be in top5 just in 2 years if Rockets could build a decent roster around him

[@PrimeTimeYoYo710]

Rockets management should surround sengun with shooters in the future and go hard on Jalen green to get better at shooting or tbh he should get traded if his shooting does not improve in the future

[@mbell7498]

Exactly, it looked like a vintage Sengun game. I hadn't seen him at this level for several months. This game is also proof that the coach or his teammates didn't have much to do with his drop in performance. Nobody stops him from playing well.

[@fahrettincetin2983]

I think it is about sending double/triple team against him . When teams try to defend him 1v1 like first months , he was having his best time because it is really hard to defend him 1vs1 . When teams figured him out and sent double/triples , his production went down a bit . Still the most consistent player on this team.

[@user-eg2jd9gu4u]

It hard for you to say something good about Jalen

[@lulumanluluman8486]

We'll see if the Rockets can keep Sengun alive. if he can make it to the play-offs with Houston next year and show himself there. Who says he won't change for big money ? The Night is dark and full of Terrors🙃

[@can1973ier]

I now know why some people are angry with you. When you praise someone and you go on next topic starting with word "BUT" . Which means i praise "but" this was not valuable.

[@360carter3]

They said Wemby had a messed up left shoulder coming into this game. He started the game off with a hot streak but couldn’t get going in the second half . Idk why Pop still let him play cuz I was there at the game and I could see Wemby’s shoulder looking purple (which means it hurts really bad). Plus we put Victor in a jail cell defensively in the second half. We did a great job making him uncomfortable as much as possible. And Sengun was having his way with Victor all night, turning him to French toast😭, I mean we completely went MJ vs Bad Boy Pistons mode against Victor😤

[@joaootxutxucao3990]

congratulations on the win! have fun watching wemby and the spurs crush for the next 15 years

[@robertmoser8882]

Yeah that thought hit me as well

[@dinceers]

Is Sengun will be the franchise player? we already know that You talk to front office people Jackson. what do you think?

[@soydan1324]

Perhaps you shouldn't praise Alpi today jackson....After you talk about Alpi yesterday in a way ,it sounds like Alpi is not the man for the Rockets....and you talk yesterday about Alpi like he has nothing accomplished this season... he is ONLY 21.....many people forget about Alperen is ONLY 21 years of age.... in the next 5years he is in his FUCK'N PRIME and one the faces of the NBA.... imagine of what he is and where he stands in 5 years....much stronger.....more experience.....sharp as hell......

[@ceegarcia3399]

This is a joke!! Wemby was in foul trouble so the refs didn’t allow him to play

[@user-mb2vk9lc4f]

Players around the league are putting Wemby on their calendars and playing their A-games when they meet him, especially when those players are playing at home. Sengun doesn't have that target on his back yet.

[@mbulentozfirat8102]

Alpi is one of the most doubled player on NBA. This is harder to handle than any opponents A-game desire

[@Lab-Rat]

How many times did Wemby block him under the rim I stop counting how bout you? Thats just embarrassing a 19 year old just turned 20 doing it to a vet.. Your team better win it this year because you ain’t sniffing anything after that. Amazing how close it was all game long till the 4th qtr and we have a bad team. Next season when Wemby has his team your team will get run off the court. Amazing Wemby had 7 blocks I think 5 were on Sengun. Wait till he has his team. WEMBY ROTY & DPOTY!

to a vet? bruh, Sengun is 21...
