NBA fans criticize Alperen Sengun for calling out the Warriors for their 2025 Playoffs series against the Rockets.

The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors duked it out in the playoffs last season, with the Warriors ultimately coming out on top after seven

If Alperen Sengun adds a reliable 3-point shot to his game, it could be scary hours for the rest of the league.

Alperen Sengun recalled their first-round playoff matchup against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in an interview with Turkish media on Sunday.

Alperen Sengun accused the Warriors of bending the rules and then complaining when calls didn’t go their way in the playoffs of last season.

The Houston Rockets were one of the surprise stories of the NBA last season, going 52-30 and securing the West's second seed. Despite that surprise success, they fell in the first round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors in seven games, showing they weren't quite ready to contend with the big dogs yet.

Among players who will play in the 2025-26 season, both Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun both received top-40 spots in NBA 2K’s latest player rankings.
