“Sengun counter-accuses Warriors: ‘They were the ones crying throughout the series!

Houston Rockets star Alperen Sengun called out the Warriors for their play in the playoffs, saying they got away with too many uncalled fouls, all while being the team that complained the most about the refereeing.

The Houston Rockets were one of the youngest teams in the playoffs last season, following an impressive regular season that saw them finish second in the Western Conference.

However, their postseason run was short-lived, as they faced the experienced Golden State Warriors in the first round.

Recalling the playoff series, Rockets star Alperen Sengun said the Warriors were the team that would give them the most problems throughout the entire playoffs—and they met them right away.

“The Warriors were probably the one team that would have gave us the most trouble, and we drew them,” Sengun said in an interview with Socrates.

Sengun also called out the Warriors for their behavior during the series, noting that they complained the most about calls, even though they often benefited from uncalled fouls.

“They’re a very experienced team, and they fouled a lot. In the playoffs, they don’t call it. But they were the ones crying all series about fouls not being called.”

“When it comes to us, we’re not really allowed to complain. It’s more of an internal thing. Ime Udoka doesn’t allow it. He loses his mind if we complain”

Looking ahead to the upcoming season, the addition of superstar Kevin Durant positions the Rockets as one of the favorites in the Western Conference. With a mix of young talent and proven stars, the team will be one to watch closely in 2025-26 season.
