Alperen Sengun on losing to the Lakers: “We gave them a really hard time. We beat them in every stat, but the experience beat us.”
Every stat except for “points scored” but who cares about that anyways
Except not even most of those…
Reb - TiedAssists - LakersSteals - RocketsBlocks - LakersFG% - Lakers3p% - LakersFT% - RocketsTS% - LakersTurnovers - Lakers had less
Tied in rebounds is crazy considering our personnel
Not crazy when you consider the rockets center.
Yeah beat them in turnovers checkmate
That’s crazy lmao
So, somebody feeding the Rockets personnel bad analytics
As Bill Russell once said to Uncle Drew “What these young bloods have to understand is this game has always been and always will be about buckets…”
The pendulum has swung so far.
Same shit happens in football. “Wins aren’t a QB stat”, says the fan of the team whose QB sucks and they go under .500 every season but have a top 10 DE of all time and a consistently great defense. Like if wins aren’t a QB stat, then why do all the good QBs win the majority of their games, but the good defensive players/wide receivers/running backs don’t? Oh yeah, because many of those guys have bad QBs 🤣 JJ Watt, Myles Garrett, Darrelle Revis, the 3 greatest Defensive players of the last 20 years…one superbowl between them all, when post-prime Revis swapped teams and spent a year with Brady.
Or my favorite: “Aaron Rodgers/Justin Herbert/Lamar Jackson/Josh Allen has been let down by his defense, that’s why he sucks in the playoffs”, as if QBs don’t directly impact (1) their defense’s average field position, (2) their defense’s rest, and (3) with offensive success makes the opposing offense one-dimensional and therefore makes it easier on their defense.
Nephews quickly forgot the point of the game. Winning. They point to analytics as a way to excuse shit play, when analytics are meant to be predictors of who will contribute best to winning. Instead, these players think just winning at analytics means you will win, which creates a chicken/egg situation lol
Playing well analytically does not mean you will win, but winning often means you are playing well analytically. Those are not the same.
Maybe Sengun meant they analytically scored more points lol
Source?
“We analytically beat them”
god i fucking hate that guy
Fire sale loading by December
not when bari is our only tradeable asset
In your dreams
All KD teams crash and burn eventually
I hope these Rockets stay together forever, as does I assume every other playoff team in the West.
Saying this when your team’s poster for this season looks like the 2018 Cavs except worse
I don’t like the Lakers offseason moves but Sengun has a shocking lack of self-awareness. Coupled with KD’s horrible body language towards him leads me to believe they’re going to have some midseason chaos.
Analytics finals Rockets v Cavs who yall got
There’s levels to this the rockets analytically beat us but the Cavs analytically beat the champions
wasn’t that team entirely assembled then broken up with in one year cuz ayton, smart, kennard were there once and left & bron is now gone with AR and Luka out that series.
they went 7-3 against the rockets all year, if he thinks it just “experience” idk what to tell ya
That game 3 was just an inexcusable loss. They win that who knows how the series goes
Wow, respect for saying this.
Every stat except the only one that really matters
Imagine being a sengun fan
Alperen Atkinson
Him and Kenny Atkinson are a match made in heaven
bro has a bright future in politics
Marcus Smart on their side now. Good pickup for them.
Oh boy
Analytics would say they won
I think the only stat they beat us in was Ft%
Alperen “Kenny Atkinson” Sengun
Atkinson logic
I would hope u do more than just give a hard time to a team without their best player
Kenny Atkinson ass quote
They were one Marcus Smart clutch play and LeBron three pointer away from making the series 3-2
I wouldn’t say beat them in every stat, they beat them in the L series stat😭.
LeXperience
Why so many players/coaches suddenly start to embrace the analytical win mindset? Pathetic
And the worst part for you is they lost the next round 0-4….
Least favorite player in the league, cries so much
That Game 3 chokejob was insane
This guy runs like he has tits
I mean guys he kinda has a point
If he had more points they might have won
Bruh you lost to the Lakers, who themselves are ass
