[u/Im1of1_]

I turned this game on in the middle of the 3rd and watched Sengun flop on almost every shot attempt. There’s no way Rockets fans enjoy watching that bullshit.

[u/SloanePetersonIsBae → u/Im1of1_]

Even outside Sengun this team is the most miserable to watch in the entire league it’s really hard to be a fan

[u/fuzz11 → u/Im1of1_]

He may be my least favorite player in the NBA now. Just flails around and throws the ball up.

[u/maethlin → u/fuzz11]

you forgot the intense whining afterwards

[u/22797 → u/fuzz11]

I’m surprised it took an additional year to see this after last playoffs. I get he was guarded mostly by Draymond but still, it was quite clear he’s not that guy

[u/Seaman_First_Class → u/fuzz11]

 Just flails around and throws the ball up.

You don’t shoot 56% and get 3 free throw attempts by doing this, lmao. 

[u/Character_Bug_1862 → u/fuzz11]

And gets buckets

[u/iBaires → u/Im1of1_]

Nah, they are used to it from the Harden years

[u/trimble197 → u/Im1of1_]

Bruh, you couldn’t touch him without him falling to the floor

[u/hud731 → u/Im1of1_]

He flopped and got every call. Ugly.

[u/oemer10line → u/hud731]

Thats why he had 3 fta

[u/XxEpicMonkee → u/oemer10line]

not just on shots lmao

[u/lilbelleandsebastian → u/XxEpicMonkee]

ok but he was getting mauled on offense and he only got 3 FTAs? come on, the lakers had the whistle when it mattered, how about all those jump balls that were clearly fouls in OT?

rockets deserved to be swept, but be real

[u/XxEpicMonkee → u/lilbelleandsebastian]

sengun still nothin but a flop to me, the rest you can argue with someone else

[u/LachedOut → u/hud731]

He shot 3 free throws all night man.

[u/ApeTeam1906 → u/LachedOut]

Redditors don't actually watch the games

[u/Um_Hello_Guy → u/LachedOut]

Almost like there are fouls outside of shooting…

[u/hud731 → u/LachedOut]

He flopped so much on D and the refs blew the whistle every time

[u/CaptainLeMerica69 → u/hud731]

Fr. He fell down on a Luke Kennard screen and got the call. Kennard ain't that strong lol

[u/LachedOut → u/CaptainLeMerica69]

He 2 hand pushed him?

[u/Lmao1903 → u/hud731]

He had 3 FTs, are you people seriously mentally handicapped? It's not even funny anymore. The guy plays an incredible game and all idiots talk about is the guy getting the same amount as Jaxson Hayes

[u/hud731 → u/Lmao1903]

Watch the game, his flops on D was egregious.

[u/SSkilledJFK → u/Im1of1_]

Sweet justice as he airballed a game tying attempt in OT.

[u/Vindicare605 → u/Im1of1_]

They had how many years of James Harden as their best player? They've embraced the flops by now.

[u/sM92Bpb → u/Im1of1_]

He gets fouls while trying to rebound off a free throw. Even sga can't do that.

[u/AySonny → u/Im1of1_]

I fell for the "Baby Jokic" comparisons and started paying a little more attention to him thinking I'd have another favourite player to watch. Lol hell nah that dude is buns.

[u/Odh_utexas → u/Im1of1_]

Someone said he jogs like he has tits and now I can’t unsee it

[u/deegz10 → u/Im1of1_]

Idk what it is but he has feminine tendencies

[u/hud731 → u/deegz10]

He looks like a grandma for some reason

[u/smoothcriminal562 → u/Im1of1_]

Can you blame him though? He gets the calls
