Houston Rockets big man Alperen Sengun accused the Golden State Warriors of being hypocrites during their playoff series.

The Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors are feuding like it is 2018 all over again. Rockets All-Star big man Alperen Sengun gave an interview this week to Turkish outlet Socrates Dergi.

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.

The Houston Rockets arguably made the biggest splash of the 2025 NBA Offseason when they acquired Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. Even at 36 years old, Durant is still one of the best scorers in the NBA and is coming off an excellent season despite the Suns’ obvious turbulence.

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Tskitishvili wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 1.3 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.

Holiday matchups and some extra late tip-offs are among the games included in the Golden State Warriors' 2025-2026 regular season schedule, which the team released on Thursday.

The Golden State Warriors have had an unexpectedly quiet offseason. Despite seeing departures and being linked to big-name targets such as Al Horford, the franchise is the only NBA team yet to make any real offseason move.
