    FVV and Sengun was out there hotdogging the whole 4th ... And Ime let them which was uncharacteristic of him.. The collapse wasn't surprising to me

    Yet shot better than Jalen.

    Funny, don't remember some atrocious defensive plays down the stretch from fvv like I do Jalen

    Man Jalen clowns really are stupid aren't they.

    The **** did I ever say to you for you to call me on drugs? Have I ever disrespected you in any way on this forum? Fred may have played a better game on paper, but he absolutely botched the ending of the 4th quarter, and Jalen was barely involved as he didn’t even play. That’s my opinion. Now I understand when you say that if Jalen played a better overall game we may have blown them out and not be in this position, but I can be unhappy about that while still thinking that Fred messed up the worst when we needed to close the game.

    I said a while back that I’ve always had respectful interactions with you and I value your basketball opinions regardless if they differ from mine or not, but don’t be an ******* for no reason. I’m one of the few people here that was in your corner, you prick

    If this is your takeaway from this game you are just a pure hater. Team just didn't play with the same effort down the stretch cuz everyone was tired. Got out hustled threw the ball away. Sure he missed free throws but considering he was the only player to score in last 3 minutes interesting take.

    If Sengun is so great why can’t he make 1 FT. 1. This is part of being great. Is this all in him? No. On everyone. But he should have made at least 1 FT

    Does Ime not realize he can have 4 of his usual starters in there, but Holiday at the point? You're allowed to mix things up with your lineup.

    We will learn from this. Crazy shot from Ant. We needed a better play ride up at the end and we needed to make sure that we got a chance to file them and take a second attempt at a 3ptr to tie.

    Bro he shot 3 ill-advised 3’s (from 25+ feet at that!) in the last 2 minutes. Nothing else matters….

    Yeah we became too predictable when FVV came back in to close it basically and me the allo and FVV two man show. We were easier to defend versus when Holiday was out there and everybody was involved.

    JG is our best scorer the fact he was sitting when we needed a bucket is dumb AF.

    FVV takes these logo 3s like he's Steph Curry bruh how about take a few steps to the basket?

    Ime is so dumb with rotations SMH. Has zero clue what is happening on the court. Whyd you even take Holiday out when everything was clicking????

    Ime Udoka has become Don Chaney. Got to Fire him and find a Rudy Tomjanovich as the next Coach.

    Very crazy move by Ime Udoka by weakening the team offense by not having Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore scoring 57 points against the Pelicans.

    To let Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore play together and grow.

    Green and Sengun have PnR better.

    we need to hit more free throws

    He made 2. The problem is he made 2 in 2 separate trips to the line.

    only Frederick can start out hot and still manage to finish the night being inefficient…honorable mention to Jalen Green who does that often as well

    The front office will have to force Ime's hand by letting Fred go after this season.

    I didn't see any coaching in last minute.

    Both offense and defense are like headless chicken.
