Alperen Sengun Comes Under Fire For Calling Out Warriors: “Sound Like A Sore Loser”

Alperen Sengun, the Rockets’ All-Star, gave a candid interview with the renowned Turkish sports analyst Socrates Dergi, where he spoke about several things, like his first Playoff experience and speaking to Kevin Durant for the first time. 

While talking about his first experience in the Playoffs, he called out the Warriors for fouling too much and then “crying” about it when they got the same treatment from the Rockets.

“The Warriors were probably the one team that would have given us the most trouble, and we drew them.”

“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.”

This did not sit well with NBA fans, who believed that the Rockets were the ones who openly admitted to targeting Curry’s injured wrist, and their lack of experience in the Playoffs shows Sengun does not know what he is talking about. Sengun believes it was Steve Kerr’s team who were complaining unnecessarily over fouls.  

“Sengun complains the most from either team.”

“They hacked Steph all series and were getting away with it.”

“You sound like a sore loser. Everyone knows the refs aren’t going to see or make every call. That whole series was physical on both sides. Stop crying, Alperen. Great players get back in the gym and come back better.”

“Sengun..you should be the last one talking about “crying”. Y’all n***** fouled the f**k out of the warriors, and they just did it back, and y’all couldn’t handle it.”

“Alperen is such a whiny child and a liar.”

“Damn, Sengun, focus on getting better, not using the refs as an excuse.”

“Their ENTIRE TEAM was fouling Steph every single possession wtf is he talking about?? Couldn’t even bring the ball to half-court without getting fouled. Sengun threw his arms in the sky every time he missed a shot; that’s not a foul.”

While the Rockets fans were defending Sengun as well, social media was flooded with Sengun’s criticism. In the seven games that the Rockets played the Warriors in the 2025 Playoffs, Sengun averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. 

In the 13 games that Sengun has played against the Warriors in the regular season during his career, he averaged 13.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. 

The Rockets and Warriors are set to face off three times in the coming 2025-26 season. Their first meeting will be for the NBA Cup on November 26, followed by two regular-season meetings on March 5 and April 5, respectively.  

Having taken the All-Star leap this season, Sengun seems to believe the Rockets now have what it takes to beat the Warriors in a seven-game series. Hence, he is calling them out and likely putting the target on his back for when the Rockets next face the Warriors.
