    When Ja is on the floor vs starters they put Jabari on him who has ZERO chance of stopping him.

    Jabari believes he is a switchable player on to small guards who are fast

    Ime believes this to.

    Currently he is.....not

    Sengun crying to the refs after every foul is already getting old and it’s game 2. Thanks Eric Gordon.

    Our 5 starters have 18 rebounds, he has 7 of them....but yeah, that's his only asset.

    Amen still has the "shiny new toy" sheen.

    Is Amen like....sick or something? This is the worst game I think I've seen him play. 5 turnovers might be a career high.

    Jabari hasn‘t been awful. He has been frustrating to watch. Bricking layups and threes. Turning the ball over instead of taking an easy shot. But then again you see him hustle for a rebound, or run back for a block, grabbing rebounds against Edey.

    I think with him it‘s mental and maybe mentality. He needs to get out of his head and go out on the court, as if he is the best player out there. Don‘t force bad shots, but play like a 6-11 sharpshooter,

    i miss the play making sengun

    this offense is just hoping/wishing your players to bail you out.

    Chaotic offense
    Simple pick and roll then jack up contested shot
    What a mess

    I’m ready for Jabari to be traded. Sick of his soft ass. Misses way too many shots near the cup and loses too many rebounds when is battling with an opponent. His BBIQ is low too. Missed several wide open guys with his hesitancy trying to post up leading to turnovers.

    I think he was a big fan of Josh’s older brother, first.

    I'm going to be honest. Jalen might be the best defender to square up on Morant for this team.

    Rockets came out with a lot more energy and hustle tonight which is great if they played like this on opener we would have had a 30 pt lead.

    OTH Memphis is shooting 57% from 3 its a miracle we only down by 7.

    2nd quarter showed both the high and low of JG, he missed all the shots suddenly got hot AF and became Kobe, I think I saw 2-3 possessions of blocks and steals leading to 3s and dunks.

    Sengun is getting clowned by Edey. Jabari and Sheppard coming out with something to prove.

    Brooks is playing hard but dude lost his shooting touch. FVV should take more shots.

    Yeah that was dumb because not even the best defenders in the NBA can stop Ja so it's silly putting a big on him and risk him racking up fouls. Honestly from what I saw FVV been the best against Ja, pesky defenders are always the best against a guy like that since you are not letting them accelerate. Once Ja hits the turbo button he's running past 99% of the NBA.

    Green and Jabari providing some much needed energy.
    Reed finally shot a three.
    Refs have been aiight, should have given the continuation to Sengun.

    Scottie Pippen Jr, I like your mom! Green should say that.
