I love KD's postgame locker room interviews. He really shows what a smart, team first guy he is.

 

Went to the game. What a game by Amen on his bobblehead night.

Crazy how KD was just flowing through the offense the entire game then took over when he had to with those back 2 back 3's.

Sengun and Amen still my favorite.

Love this squad.

 

Is running zone against perimeter-oriented teams the new "Chubb up the middle"?

 

No one wants to attack you behind no Reed. I don't know about anyone else but I'm just trying to convey that the complaining about someone that is going to be Austin Rivers or JJ Reddick at best is pointless. With 10 minutes a game I think your expectations are a little high and unreasonable for someone who's true nba season with significant minutes is this one. If you really consider 10 minutes significant. Reed is not bad. Not great but definitely not bad.

 

Nah, we good.

 

For me the best part was the half time show if I'm being honest....

 

Great ass.

 

Well we disagree cuz I think he is really bad and always get targeted on defense. This game Rox had a 7 pt lead when he came in and when Ime subbed him out for Holiday it was a 2 pt lead. Its cool he can hit wide open shots now which he couldn't do previously but being too small and bad defensively it always hurts the team compared to Holiday or JD.

You may think 10 mins is barely any PT but the way I see it if Reed played more we would have lost the game.

 

Missed it what did he say?

“you know where came out to sportsball and they did too but in the end we just sportsballed s little harder..”

 

He is looking at stat sheet all the time and planning out his late career who he can count on. Probably the first time he is looking out for future potential star in the team he can count on when he start declining. KD could be still floor spacer at age of 40 averaging +15ppg as spot up shooter but will be like 3rd or 4th option

 

Nothing wrong with disagreeing. If Reed's increase in minutes determined our win or losses I think this team would have other problems to be worried about.

 

Ime needs to get smarter and make faster adjustments. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

 

Blame FTs and Okogie. Shep was +5.

 

And they held us to only 8 threes tonight.

 

Giannis is on his way to winning MVP this season and is only 30.

I'd prefer cleaning up all our scrub top 3 picks (Green, Jabari Smith, Reed + future 1st) for Giannis and having a chance at a dynasty as opposed to short term rental KD. OKC , San Antonio and Denver are very strong at the top.

 

Calling Jabari a scrub shows that you aren’t a serious observer and don’t know ball.

 

He's not a scrub but not the kind of player who puts you over the top. That's essentially what you aim for with top 10 picks. He's an effective role player like many others - but a highly inefficient one.

 

IDIOT, TBH
