    He's a elite utility player but today even his defense was bad. Weird night.

    This is when we realize how young our team is. Still make mental lapses and still lack experience. Obviously, nobody is going to win every game but I was pretty annoyed at the gameplay. Tari and Amen were both pretty bad, Cam was awful, and I’m all the way on the Holiday hate train again.

    At least Reed looked a lot better. And Jalen had an average game by the standards I hold him to. On to the next, I guess

    think he retired and started working for balenciaga after his all star selection. Said he made it and it’s over for him. Imagine if we win a ring, he takes 2 years off.

    Amen had a bad game, Jalen can't run point, our defense has been **** for about a month.....we have lost our identity, which seems to be Sengun.

    Honestly it has nothing to do with his offense.

    Fred is unplayable in defense. The Nets were hunting him every defensive possession he was out there.

    We may need to trade a backup PG capable running the offense. Dennis schroder only costed GSW a two 2nd rounders was a steal, now looking at it.

    His release is slow and he doesn’t jump much when he shoots. With his lack of athleticism, it is very difficult for him to create seperation.

    We won 13-2 without Sengun last year. This was a bad effort night.

    When Amen is a bad defensive player for a game you know no effort was out in.

    There’s a reason you are regarded as the biggest idiot on the board.

    tonight they had players just as long and just as athletic to go against him - he doesn’t bother them as much (like Cade, J Williams, SGA) etc etc. they can finish at rim over him

    I guess the upside is the Rockets will at least play hard against the Knicks on Monday after a wakeup call like this.

    If he cant provide some gun fire on offense, he has no bright spots. Ime cant stand with him as defense liability.

    Well Ime if you don’t take your scorer out and play a line up of

    Holiday/Cam/Tari/Tate/Jock

    while we go from being down 5 to 18 before you make adjustment

    The hyper drive is leaking. We need an R2 unit.
