    Yes they should not feel good about being up 20+ for a majority of the game and winning by double digits on the second night of a back to back. You seem miserable.

    He's 6-3. Or for the Reed haters, 6-1.75" barefoot. He'll be fine. Take a Xanax.

    Reed was drafted as a shooter/scorer and I think his best game has been 10pts, if that many.

    He does have quick hands, to get steals but he gets isolated on defense when he's on the court. If you can't score and get isolated on defense, none of which are good.

    Im not impressed at all but I'm willing to give him until the end of this season to have at least one good game to show us that he was deserving of the #3 pick.

    Imagine how much of a better shooter he'd be if he didn't miss so many wide open shots his teammates get him haha.

    You know, just the thing I said. Which isn't wrong. But please, feel free to watch the games again and compile a list of all the open shots his teammates get him he doesn't miss horribly, just to prove me wrong. I'll wait. I'm sure the board will love the effort you bring to shut me up and prove me wrong!!!! Oh wait, that won't happen... you know why?

    You seem to be another who can't quite grasp 'misses open shots' doesn't = misses every single shot and is the worst shooter on the team and never makes a shot.

    Comprehension is hard.

    I ran out of things to say. A lot of feedback, most of it valid, but structural. Its because who we are playing and their natural limitations at the moment.

    Most impressive thing is remaining on pace for 40wins-20 losses Phil Jackson's rule. That is a serios measure for contending and we are 50% there.

    Kudos to everyone in there, they keep solving one game at a time. I am enjoying the ride, a bit concerned about Reed and Eason's health.

    Finally, you looked in the mirror and got one thing right. You’re halfway to being a broken clock.

    Way to take care of business, can't believe we lost to this team opening night. Still the worst loss of the season smh.

    I didn't like how FVV was ballhogging up 30. Dude, spread it around and let some young guys get some shots man!

    We’re young, deep, talented, and on the fringe of title contenders in year 4 of the rebuild. 20-9 by Christmas as the second seed is well beyond what I expected.

    Played themselves into a trance but without a heightened and beautiful Offense.

    Does anyone feel like our main guys don't get many calls when hacked trying to score in the paint because the refs believe they are already are generous with the team in the defensive end allowing us to be very physical?

    That also is a reason why anyone trying to create their own offense on this team is going to be inefficient. Those added ft attempts from a generous whistle can impact ts% by a lot.

    I definitely feel Sengun gets hacked more than what he gets call wise. Same goes for Jalen, seems like he gets hacked on the way to the basket more than what he gets calls for.

    She sounds like she’s panicking, which means the injury is more serious than they’re letting on.
