    I'm extremely disappointed that they seem to have lost their defensive identity.

    Sheppard is getting hunted on defense. He even made a few threes and the Rockets were 13 points worse than Detroit in his minutes.

    That's the downside...but getting outrebounded should be a downside.

    I love Amen Thompson. But you’re one zillion percent correct…he is not a PG. nothing wrong with that, just not who he is.

    Dillion was the defense anchor
    Fred was the offensive anchor

    With Jabari it’s mental. Until he gets out of his head it will be the same thing over and over. Sengun was missing shots but at least you know he’s drawing a lot of attention. Jabari is wide open and still missing shots.

    I posted a statistic, relax. I didn’t mention he played 20 minutes. :(

    If you are going to run this crazy big lineup with only Amen being quick enough to guard talented smaller players, you are forced to play zone, and that means giving up a ton of threes. Udoka needs to give Aaron Holiday a chance.

    No. KD was waiting double team to pass Sengun.

    He was not going to shoot anyway.

    I watched the game.

    The secret is out on Amen. He snuck up on teams last season. Wasn’t even starting before the Jabari injury. Now he’s on the radar and heavily scouted. Packing the paint is the way to neutralize him.

    I mean he (Reed) played well for his 2nd game. 20 min, 3/4 3’s, 3 steals.

    I think the first half of the season is going to be amazing for his growth and for us as a team moving forward.

    Is that a photo of all the other past presidents who've made upgrades to the White House?

    yeah smith and reed played terribly. Amen lacked energy. Something is wrong with this team. I really don’t like the energy. KD’s presence throws things off and Reed just isn’t good. But i think not having Brooks hurt this team more than people think. Warriors had Draymond who really balanced them in the KD years and even the years without him. We don’t have a fiery voice anymore.

    No need to be salty when it's brought to your attention your idiotic take.

    It's ok to acknowledge that yes, you were actually proved incorrect. It's part of improving internally.
