    Uh oh you better stop it. I been saying this and ppl get mad at me for not giving the team time to gel. The halfcourt offense is ugly. We have two elite offensive players and a unicorn in Amen plus a solid option in Jabari and this is what we deal with everynight

    Offense is not the word in Ime's dictionary.

    Ime only knows play harder and clap harder.

    Not ready to blow up anything, still high on our players

    Hoping we can sneak our way deep into the playoffs, but I think there's still a lot of maturation to be done over the next several years for Sengun and especially Amen, Jabari, and Reed before they reach their peaks.

    Your fault for thinking we’re at the top of the food chain like the defending champs.

    If Ime doesn't want to start Reed, he needs to give Holiday a look..Or maybe they are waiting on DFS or Tari....

    The lack of floor spacing and ballhandling with this unit makes loading up on KD and Sengun waaaaayy too easy. Defenses are just helping off of Amen and Okogie.

    Having one player teams can kind of help off of is bad enough, but having two guys out there is just not going to work. And this isn't even the playoffs where teams can actually dig and and really scout things to take away.

    Live by the sword, die by “playing your 38 year old star too many minutes in the first 20 games of the season “.

    Amen is neutralized if he can’t get downhill because his shots aren’t falling.

    I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a team run an ISO centric system without a guy that can legitimately ISO consistently.
