    Am I wrong for being mad at Ime??? Am I living in some alternate reality where these games don't matter him anymore???? Jalen didn't even play bad so how come he got benched the rest of the game.

    I'm pretty pissed.

    I think Ime felt the team was tired and gave them all a break. No way 5 guys injured

    SGA said some words to Reed after the game and pat his back. I think he said keep shooting you’re going to be a star soon. That was really nice by SGA to say that but also see that in Reed.

    Anyone else see that and could read his lips?

    I think Ime just decided he was going to win or lose this game with the backups and save Jalen for tomorrow.

    Honestly, had they just spammed Cam and Reed instead of letting Nate Williams do whatever in the middle of our run maybe we do win.

    This game showed me two things:

    1) Jabari will score around 11-12 pts and 7-9 rebounds each game no matter who else is on the court. He just doesn't have it in him to take over.
    2) Losses are more entertaining when Cam and Reed are scoring.

    I dunno how he woulda helped. He woulda taken the ball out of Cam and Reeds hands and they were the reason we came back.

    This was a fun loss.

    Probably the only time i ever remember saying that. Loved the fight and it was good seeing reed play so well.
