I'm glad to see you haven't changed!
My nuggets have not been playing up to standard post asb :(
Only chance the Rockets have to win tonight is if Alperen Sengun is motivated to have a big game againat Nikola Jokic.
Sengun started the season hot. He made his second straight all-star appearance. But he sprained his ankle back in January...
He hasn't been the same dominant center since then. He was always elite offensively but Sengun's defense has been awful.
But Alperen Sengun is basically a 23-year-old version of Nikola Jokic who is now 31 years old. Consistency is all Sengun lacks now.
Sengun has dominated the likes of Wemby, Jokic and Giannis before. But last game vs. Wemby he disappeared. Was so disappointing.
And last year's playoffs vs. Draymond Green. Sengun was hit or miss. Came out and posterized Draymond in Game 1.
But then he disappeared a good portion of that series. Rockets ended up losing a Game 7. Sengun could've carried them.
It's gotten to the point if the Rockets get bounced in the first round again this year. I may just encourage a Sengun trade package for Giannis this summer.
