    Might need to grab Charles Oakley for a coaching spot so he can smash this kid into a locker. Entitled stuff in here, and it has been happening quite a bit more than I expected. Dude is missing assignments and still yapping.

    New coach please. I see you David Adelman, Jeff Van Gundy, etc.

    The sad part is he’s equally if not more responsible for those poor possessions. And he shoots 30% from 3. And he has been as bad as anyone on D. No reason for him to be this entitled (other than this being a horribly run organization).

    Okay can we look at this from a different angle, on the first play....he did not box out, that's fair. BUT Sengun isnt doing it either and that is HIS MAN. Both were bad on this play.

    On the terrible pass......WHY is Sengun at the 3 point line? Jabari was passing to him most likely wanting him to finish at the rim that's where the "terrible pass" went to.

    His man is in the corner at the 3pt line. Sengun's is.

    Bro when the shot is up and that dude is running to the other side, than its HIS JOB to get the boards(also Jabari too, not excusing him).

    Sengun was switched out to the guy on the perimeter, there is no “your man”.

    He can try to get the board but he can’t box out the guy next to jabari when his own man is at the 3 point line.

    Okay then we can agree that both of them have the responsibility of getting that board, no? Like neither one of them was in a rush to box him out?

    The funny thing is Jabari kind of boxed out Jalen Green on that play.

    Jabari has been a major disappointment as the number 3 pick. You expect guys taken that high to be more impactful.

    His own man is running to the other side as soon as the shot is up. I dont think it would have been impossible for him to run next to (Williamson I believe) and nudge him out position. I think both players are at fault here.

    When Jabari eventually becomes one of the better players on the team, which I believe he can be, we can say he got that dog in him. But currently taking up the mantle as worst player on the team from Green last year, Jabari really should just stfu and learn instead, especially when it comes to barking at the best player on the team.

    On the last one, in real time I just figured he didn't see him. Hard to imagine he'd deliberately turn down an easy assist just to go 1 on 2.

    Remember Jabari being pissed off on draft night because he wasn't picked #1 overall. Man he was so lucky he wasn't.....

    So either he is spiteful teammate or has the court vision of a bat. Neither are great options.

    I’m not out on Jabari, but whoever thought he was better than Paolo on draft night…snicker, we have not forgotten.
