    Spurs took that 1 point lead and Reed was like F THAT! He was disrupting everything on the defensive end and making the plays on the offensive end so of course, Udoka yanked him..

    Nah his dribble is fine it has improved a lot and he's got a quick first step . He needs to learn a lot of defensive tricks though. Resorts to those pokes way too much.

    I can see it in his body language dude is sulking and trying to get rid of the hot potato right when he dribbles up

    Like seriously wtf dude? You're in the NBA

    I defend Reed a lot on here, but this pu$$y play will always leave him getting...expectedly..****ed

    Yea, if we don't see him much in the 4th in this one, I'll understand. But when he's out, our shots and sets get weirder and weirder.

    Jabari defense has dropped off the cliff since the beginning of the year.

    ime gets pissed and benched Okogie. doesnt matter they were abusing Reed every play down the floor. its the ooposite of what he was doing earlier benching Reed when he was hot while Okogie was sucking. He is just a horrible bench coach.

    Like I've been saying all year 25 points from the bench is the key. Tonight they've scored 11.

    Was Finney-Smith ever actually good? I don't get it.

    Bari is not a good player. We’ll just agree to disagree I guess.

    Its just Reed getting attacked off the dribble. Thankfully it’s something he can learn and work on over the offseason.

    Its gonna be even worse in the playoffs. SGA/Castle/Murray/ANT are gonna attack Sheppard every play if he’s in the game.

    We can’t even give open looks to KD with screen, what makes you think Ime can draw any plays like that for Sheppard?

    Reed was a disaster class, poor body language, slow on defense, missing rotations...

    I'm surprised Udoka left him in there as long as he did

    Reed deserves to be benched

    When Reed is good the bench is good

    When he's not... well.

    You know the more I watch the more I realize a PG won't make a difference unless our players start MOVING off the ball, we stand around so ****ing much.
