    At least he has highlights and 25/18. If everybody has highlights like him we win the game.

    I dont really care what people do off the court. Before coaches and teammates get on him for posting highlights maybe they should look at themselves first and think why they have no highlights to show for themselves.

    We were posting tons of Jalen, KpJ, KMJ highlights during the Silent Silas era.

    The funny thing is - Jalen posted highlights, Tari posted highlights, Reed Sheppard posted highlights, all from the same game (didn't even check all the others, but these are still online) - but @Reeko and others are complaining about the one guy who actually stuffed the stat sheet and had a positive +/-.

    Makes no sense, but you do you.

    But isn't Sengun as our best player supposed to lead better?

    Glad you have recognized the error of your ways and that you are finally acknowledging he is our best player.

    Btw the loss was neither pathetic nor brutal, it was like pretty much any other average loss. There wasn't anything especially important that happened which gives us the ability to decide how things are going to be for the rest of the season lol.

    It's game 1, let's show a little more resilience.

    A home opener against an opponent/someone on your level ......while you were in lead.

    LaMelo and Miller against Sengün/Green/FVV.

    I mean it has to be regarded as very tough, competitive and bad loss.

    What are you following his social media account for? To see when he goes to Baskin Robbins? There is literally one reason for following a basketball player’s social media account, and you b**ch about it when he provides it.

    This isn’t that big of a deal. It’s social media.

    LOL wha? Williams' defense could reasonably be mistaken for molestation. I have no idea why the refs swallowed the whistle but Alpi throwing his hands up like he's Luka on every possession probably doesn't help his cause.

    Fear not young Jedi, that defense is a legit felony in many states so we should be alright. Not sure about Canada though.

    That happens when Ime has another young ball handler like Reed that he's trying to get involved. At the NBA level right now Reed's playmaking is ~ 3/10 while Alpi's is an 8/10 but Reed consistently had the ball in his hands. Ime will change soon enough although after that awful L and Reed's awful minutes it will be - at minimum - one half too late.

    I don’t like any of it. Win or lose.
    Posting highlights of yourself seems douchey to me for anyone.
    Just my opinion

    Right. Because I follow basketball players so I can hear their thoughts on the treatment of prisoners of war, or so they can show me how to make Bananas Foster.
